@kiernan-laveaux is a boundless ball of chaos energy - an adventurous spirit, conducting the binary dissolving forces of our world that are reflected & transmuted through the unbridled passion contained within her DJing. The Cleveland artist's mission is "to channel love and understanding to dancers of open mind and spirit everywhere." Since 2014, her ethos of community building, personal autonomy, & transportative psychedelia has grown to encompass the multiversal creators of possible worlds everywhere, the In Training, Heaven is in You, & Disco Paradiso parties that traversed the wormhole of limitless expression & jouissance together in Cleveland from 2014-2018, & the Motherbeat raves that continue to manifest sporadically throughout our known universe. The music she plays is impossible to pin down in genre terms, but is unified by it's restless sense of ecstatic momentum, dissonant euphoria, & kinetic exuberance.

Her 80-minute mix for us this week is jam-packed with a little bit of everything, from peak time and head melting techno to heavenly electronics and Earth moving beats. The twisted rhythms and quick mixing style keep the whole thing moving at a real pace and move you ever closer to a transcendental state of dance floor psychedelia.

@upsammy
Since the release of her debut EP ‘Another Place’ on Rotterdam's premiere Nous’klaer record label, upsammy has emerged as one of the most exciting contemporary electronic artists of our time. Known for her boundary-pushing vision of music and sound, upsammy’s string of releases on the likes of AD93, Die Orakel and Dekmantel have manifested into a back catalogue that give the sense and feeling of gallery of artworks. With a background in arts, it’s no surprise that upsammy works from a foundation of unbridled imagination. As is a common theme amongst many of my most admired artists, the power to present works that simultaneously champion both the weird and the functional is at the forefront of upsammy’s sound. It seems to me that the space between is where the magic happens - crystalline electronica, otherworldly ambience, hypnotic glitch and deconstructed club sounds morph to produce upsammy’s unique brand of contemporary, psychedelic idm. Her more recent and first long-player ‘Zoom’ showcases a somewhat softer side - warm crunchy textures, bouncing sub bass and at times-playful melodies are bound together with both quirky and functional rhythms. Zoom bestows upon us a beautiful and engaging collection of sounds which tell the story of both organic and digital realms. I once read a Bandcamp fan describe upsammy’s work as ‘fairytale idm’ and I couldn’t agree more. At the heart of every fairytale is a sense of magic, and everything upsammy does is just that. 

Alongside her productions, upsammy is an expert DJ who crafts brilliantly creative mixes and live sets with laser like precision - dynamic blends of experimental electronics weave between dreamy soundscapes, spacial percussion, psychedelic drum and bass and breaks - you can always expect the unexpected and this mix is no different! upsammy joined me live in the PBS studio on the 14th October 2022.

For the extended Q&A + og pi pi pi track game... please visit our website -----> pipipi.life <--------

Introduce yourself? Pronouns? Where do you currently reside? 

Hello! My name is Tanner Hockey AKA DJ Hockey (he/him). Currently I reside in Vancouver, B.C Canada

Who/what currently inspires you music-wise that has nothing to do with music?

Daily impressions and my emotional state is a source of inspiration. When I go to mix at home I often select based on how I am feeling, or a mood I want to project.

Describe in detail your favorite place to sit & listen to music.

Rather than sitting, my preference for music listening is walking. My walk to and from work is around 30 minutes and I can generally finish an hour mix a day. This time is meditative as I tune everything around me out and focus on the music and walking.

Any advice to upcoming DJs/producers?

Production for me is rewarding, but tough work. I can fall into periods where the thought of starting a new project can seem daunting, on the flip side I can be very addicted to a project once started. Finding one source of inspiration can be all it takes to push yourself into a new project. Re-interpreting an element of an old song is often helpful for me.  

Favorite BPM and why?

I really enjoy 130-135 as it’s a pace that can have drive but people can still marathon dance, or at least I can :).

What would you like to see in the future for the dance community?

More protection for DIY spaces from gentrification and recognition of their cultural importance at municipal levels.

Welcome to dubby, wubby paradise with one of the best of the best, Toni Yotzi <3  ( @toniyotzi)

Jo doesn’t really need much of an introduction considering she's been a mainstay in the Australian scene for a long time now, and for very good reason, but I'll do it anyway :) Her ability to spellbind with smooth genre blends with style and ease never ceases to amaze me.  She floats between dubstep, dnb, bass, techno & beyond.

Originally from Boorloo (Perth), she has been based in Melbourne/ Naarm for a decade, playing at the nation's biggest festivals & events, and having a hand in Camp Doogs (Perth) & Dooj (Melbourne). Beyond playing regularly in Melb/ Perth/ Australia, her divine DJ skills have traversed the oceans to the US & Europe.

So happy to have her as part of the series ahead of her 11pm-1am set at the Animalia x Temporal Cast party this weekend before Perko. Hope to see you all there :) 

Thanks again Jo <3333 - Downloads enabled
