Ashland Mines, AKA Total Freedom, AKA Big Gay Idiot DJ, AKA Bobby Beethoven, is one of the best and most influential DJs of the 21st century. Starting out at pioneering parties like Mustache Mondays and Wildness (which he cofounded with Wu Tsang)—and a regular at GHE20G0TH1K—Mines helped to define the style that would become known, however cringe-inducingly, as experimental club or deconstructed club, directly inspiring fellow visionaries like Arca. 

Like some of the best DJs before him, Mines uses the CDJs as an instrument, but that doesn't mean just fancy tricks and looping. Instead, he artfully throws together clashing sounds—effects, samples, monologues, pop and R&B acapellas, and beats that run the gamut from dancehall to kuduro to breaks and techno. He's not afraid of the grotesquerie of human life and movement (just check out the monologue at the beginning of this mix), and he likes to push buttons. Once he put on a party where dancing wasn't allowed. Some of his sets are intentionally anxiety-inducing, evoking horror movies and modern classical composers like Penderecki, while others are bouncy and ebullient, weaving between genres and tempos like an old-school platformer. The best are both.

On Mines's RA Podcast—a milestone 900th in the series—he shows off this inimitable style, sharpened and reinforced over a decade-and-a-half of playing some of the world's best parties, fashion shows, you name it. He's the kind of DJ who creates his own music as he goes along. He makes you hear old tracks—especially pop music and R&B—in a whole new way. Titled "Cursed Piercing," this is a near-hour of controlled chaos that'll confound you at one moment and deeply move you the next.

NTS - mobilegirl 15th February 2024

Our six week run of weekly SORRYMIXs continues with an incredible closing set from one of our favorite DJs in New York —  Doula (@ddoula).

Recorded live at our last Bossa Nova Civic Club monthly, Doula delivered what I’d consider to be easily one of the best sets we’ve ever had at a Sorry party. Bossa can be a chaotic room and its rare that you see a crowd there as stunned silent and deeply locked as folks were hearing Doula play that night. So happy to share this recording with y’all. ---> Book Doula.

𝗦𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝗲𝘁 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗗𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗮...

“Most know by now that I love a bit of drama in my sets and that night was no exception. I played with energy, instilling a sense of security and disrupting that to my liking. I take pleasure in showing dominance over the crowd that way.”
- @ddoula

——

One of our favorite new DJs in New York, Doula is an incredibly kind person and an absolute killer DJ who we’re super excited to have close out the evening. She’s made appearances at great parties like Rare Frequency Transmissions, tossd, TOWER, Palm Wine, recently played b2b with DJ Voices for Drama Pride, and has a hotly anticipated new resident party called ESSENCE starting soon at the freshly opened Earthly Delights in Ridgewood. Borrowing some words from HYPNOSIS’s event she played because they are too good to not share… “Doula is a Bronx-born, Brooklyn based DJ unbound by genre known for inducing tantric mania through sensual and intricate sonic experiences. She is a mother to her crowd - with her you will receive what you didn’t know you needed.”

Recorded live at Bossa Nova Civic Club in Brooklyn from 2am to 4am on September 1st 2024
