Sorry Records w/ Tim Reaper & Figur @ The Lot Radio 04 - 23 - 2021

Introduce yourself? Preferred pronouns? Where do you currently reside? 1 fun fact about yourself? 

My name is Fana’ (which can be stylized a number of different ways; FANA’, fana’), my pronouns are they/them, I’m from NYC but currently live in Cleveland, OH and a fun fact about me is that I can’t tell people where I currently live without disclaiming that I’m from New York.

Who currently inspires your music-wise?

Indigenous throat-singing throughout Asia but specifically Ainu Rekuhara and Kurdish Dengbej

What other activities have you dipped into with a break from djing?

If anything this past year has given me the opportunity to just sit on my ass and do absolutely nothing without any guilt so instead of replacing going to clubs with hobbies I’d only be getting into for the sake of productivity, I’m really enjoying doing less and just having time to myself.

If you had to describe yourself as a plant what would it be and why?

Berfin (Kurdish snowdrop); a winter flower that grows in very low sunlight. There’s a scene in a Kurdish film called I Saw the Sun (Güneşi Gördüm in Turkish) where one of the main characters, a trans woman, is explaining why she kept a wilted berfin from the Kurdish village she’s from. In Kurdish folklore, berfin are in love with the sun but know they’ll wilt once the sun shines on them. Despite knowing this, they beg Allah to let them see the sun and when their wish is granted they inevitably die. They sacrifice their entire existence - the struggle of growing through snow - for a moment of warmth and happiness. Sometimes the meaning of struggle is risking everything to bask in the sun, and as a transgender Kurdish person myself, I really fucking feel that.

(Disclaimer: I Saw the Sun is loaded with transmisogyny and violence toward trans women so I don’t really suggest watching it if that’s something that would be triggering.)

How do you see your music taste evolving as time goes on?

The older I get the more pan-Asian and pan-African music I want to listen to and study. At the same time, I’m constantly revisiting/recontextualizing genres I used to listen to and applying that to how I feel about music now and what I wanna create in the future.

What was your first gig? How did it go? 

My first DJ gig was opening for Crash Course in Science when In Training brought them to Cleveland in 2016. I played Italo-disco and didn’t beatmatch and had a really great time.

Why do you think it's important to share music?

Being Kurdish I know too well why sharing music is essential to the preservation of indigenous history and the passing on of endangered culture through generations; Kurds have been historically denied the right to publish our own history books in the places where we’re from, and the only narrative that gets told on paper is by our colonizers. Dengbej singing is the primary way we’ve passed down stories of our history, our mythologies, our geography, our language and all its dialects. Without the sharing of song my people wouldn’t have a way of keeping ourselves recognized in places that want to eradicate our heritage.

Duma - ANGELS AND ABYSSES

Enter the elusive Ghost Phone. The finest purveyor of sensual chopped 'n' screwed cuts, this Bristol label has fast become iconic in its own right. Known for taking your favourite r’n’b slow jams, dancehall bops, and rap trax and giving em a full-on Ghosty re-rub, as well as their 100% mixtape series - deep dives into the sounds of Sean Paul, Mariah Carey, and more - Ghost Phone’s heady blend of oddball sounds, sensual vocals and infectious edits have seen the platform stand out from the crowd, garnering devoted global fans.

With previous mixes for the likes of the Wire and Crack Magazine, a highly sought-after sell-out mixtape for Accidental Meetings on their recently launched cassette series, it’s a real pleasure to have this hot and heavy Ghost Phone selection, soundtracking the overdue of long balmy summer days. 

Alongside a series of V/A releases and last years spaced out soulful R&B refixes on Lockdown Body Edits - their recent ‘Summer Body Edits’ is a must listen - a killer collaboration with fellow Bristol-based soulful garage producer Wilfy D that sees Nipsey Hustle, Sza, K Young, Dej Loaf and Koffee get the GP treatment. 

Ghost Phone on the mix, "I'm never sure what to say about mixes or Ghost Phone, I like to let people make their own minds up and take from it what they will. I wanted to do something that will rattle your speakers and tug on your heartstrings, beautiful but also weighty, where sexy meets weird. It's probably the most 'dancefloor' GP mix yet but then again that depends on what you think the dancefloor is or what it should be. In my world, this is what it looks like.”

Introduce yourself? Pronouns? Where do you currently reside? 

Ello, I’m Jackson. Pronouns are He/Him. Residing in Eora/Sydney

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

Water and light mostly 

What is your favorite party/collective where you reside and why?

Too many faves. Some heavy hitters off the top are Umami/Echo Flats/Heavenly/Community Chest. They are %100 in it for the experience. Community Chest is a joint force crew of about 7 great crews from Sydney – It’s kinda like when the power rangers come together to make that big robot fighter guy

What was your best moment at the supermarket?

They were playing Bill Withers in a Woollies once and it got me

What is your most recent favorite DJ mix and why?

Max D – Indie Rock on C- was maybe the last one that got me good. Max D only plays by Max D’s rules

Any advice to upcoming DJs/producers? 

Enjoy your life & be kind to others

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

More love and respect, always

Introduce yourself? Hometown? Where do you currently reside? 1 fun fact about yourself

I go by Simonowsky, I’m a resident of The Black Lodge in Los Angeles - I am originally from Chicago. Im the tallest DJ on the west coast.

If you could place a dj booth anywhere in the world… where would it be & what would you play?

Up off a road in between Mt. Wilson and Mt. Lowe north of LA in the San Gabriels - Id probably play my most wigged out free party techno and all my spicy dub cuts

Favorite collective/scene at the moment?

The Directory parties also based here in LA, and the In Training crew

Earliest musical memory?

I bought Beastie Boys ‘Hello Nasty’ when I was 9, snapped the CD in half when I took it out of the case - thankfully they let me have a replacement copy (RIP Blockbuster)

Listen to 11:11 in your mix… what color do you see?

A dark orange glow

Favorite movie rave scene?

Gotta be the cave rave from Matrix Reloaded

Favorite decade for music and why?

Based on my record collection, id have to say the 90s - so much great music was being put out 

How do you hydrate at a gig?

Save those drink tickets, but I try to bring a water bottle with me too

Dream line-up?

Claude Young, Eris Drew, Erika, Bill Converse, Jeff Mills, DJ Rush

Let’s play a pipipi game… I give you a situation and you give me a track

Favorite late night snack?
I'm partial to an ice cream sandwich

Advice to beginning dj’s?

Focus on developing your own practice and work at it, use what tools you have access to and try not to compare yourself to other people. Make an effort to meet and work with like minded people around you.

Secret weapon track?  

The B1 track on Channel One & Radius’ Kompute record

DJ Pet Peeves?

record skips, dj booths shorter than 45 inches and people who take up space on the dance floor but don't dance

Where do you want to be flown out to play in the future?

If I ever get flown out - Bogota or Buenos Aires

Where do you see your rave self in 30 years from now?  

I hope I can still be organizing parties & releasing music 

Most underrated artist at the moment?

Colored Craig aka Urban Soul Brotha #5

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

I would like to see the de-commodification of music, and an emphasis on local community building and organization 

Best track for getting down ;)?

A mix for celebrating the New Moon of Muharram aka Islamic New Years (September 1)

Honey Soundsystem Potcast

HNYPOT 332: FANA's قمر جديد ال مُحَرَّم‎ (New Moon of Muharram) Mix

On Earth's latest transmission for @quanticaonline features a mix from @fanafellahin, a Kurdish musician who recently made the move from Cleveland to Pittsburgh (ya we love PGH ok!) Fana’s mixes have been making ears particularly happy lately, with a well-loved set at @honchopgh Campout, and a gorgeous @honeysoundsystem mix last month that got some Resident Advisor love.

Their work is deeply tied to the Kurdish experience and sounds of revolt, and they’ve gifted us a mix of primarily Kurdish YPG/YPJ anthems and some tight dancehall rhythms - all of which are 10/10 bangerrrrs. In their own words, they “wanted to create a mix that would get the listener pumped for the impending revolution; whether it be a personal revolution or a large-scale one.”

In the second hour, resident @ceremoniesdj provides her most genre-fluid mix yet, with 100% no fear of BPM shifts. Hits a lot of sweet spots - dubstep basslines, piano house, RnB, gqom, and choice tracks from OE friends. Keep an 👀 out for @vanitypress faves, past OE guests @pherea and @flores5000, and local Toronto producers @eytantobin and @rafreza.

ON EARTH 010: FANA & CEREMONIES

Rave Scout #006: FANA' (DISCO PARADISO, OH) 

FANA' is radical and a fiercely loyal apropos to paying homage to their Kurdish-Medittereanen roots and heritage. A multimedia artist from NYC based in America's Midwest, they founded Disco Paradiso, a retro-futuristic dance party held in Cleveland, OH. This multi-faceted DJ and producer also dabble in visual and conceptual art creating rave spaces that transcend the venue they encounter. An avid activist for Kurdish and Palestinian rights, their musical style is a blend of Middle Eastern artists in merge with traditional music from regions like Kurdistan and North Africa.

@adab

Introduce yourself? Hometown? Where do you currently reside? 1 fun fact about yourself

Hey, my name is Miah Benton aka ADAB. I’m Chicago born, Cleveland raised, and currently Pittsburgh based. A fun fact about myself is that I’m largely identifiable by my weird pants people see me wearing all the time.

Favorite music collective atm?

There’s a few at the moment for me actually. TUF (Seattle), Honcho (Pittsburgh), Sublimate (NYC) and Room 4 Resistance (Berlin) are all doing some of my favorite stuff right now in one way or another.

Favorite mix series?

Definitely more than one for this category as well haha. Rave Scout Cookies, Daisychain Podcast, Abstract Without Extraction, Spontaneous Affinity, Neptunian Influence,Beyond/Below,HNYPOT and Truants are a few continually putting great stuff on my radar these days.

Describe the vibe of your ideal party? Space? Smell? Drinks? Anything you can think of ;)

My ideal party is a heavily POC and Queer warehouse that smells of shea butter, Palo Santo, Sage, Leather and Latex. The decorations are a blend of pan african/afrofuturist interior design and dystopian neon lighting. And it’s BYOB but there is a juice bar to keep everyone feeling balanced.

Dream b2b? 

I think most of my dream b2b’s right now with the sounds I’m into are with people I know personally in one way or another:

Titonton Duvante x ADAB
CCL x ADAB
Tabasheer x ADAB
Clark Price x ADAB
SOLD x ADAB
HI-VIS x ADAB
FANA x ADAB

All of these would be really fun and interesting in their own unique ways.

Any ritual performed before djing? 

Every set I bring at least one african mask from my personal altar at home and set it up in the booth.

Describe the weirdest club moment you have experienced?

I was closing one of the Motherbeat parties we do in Hot Mass and at one point started to lose control of my hands via them cramping/clenching shut. Had never heard of it happening to other deejays so for a minute I was worried I was having a stroke or something lol.

Which current friends in your life inspire you on a day to day basis?

Well off top my partner Ayn aka FANA, the entirety of the In Training crew (Mx.Silkman, Father of Two, and Kiernan Laveaux),Tabasheer, Julie Mallis, Ali Berger, CCL, Russell E. L. Butler, Savile, Kamal Naeem, Eris Drew, Octo Octa, SOLD,and Hi-Vis.

Advice to beginning dj’s?

Don’t get discouraged. It’s all in the time you put in. Practice and don’t fixate on others accomplishments. And never ever be afraid to be weird...

Describe the best dj/live set you have seen this year? 

I saw a lot of great sets this year but I’ll keep it short and say seeing our beloved Eris Drew play Now Way Back as I did backstage security was a thrill.

Favorite DJ trick? 

A well placed backspin is always a ton of fun. 

Look on whatever platform you use to listen to music and what is your most listened to track?  

This is one of the most heavily listened to tracks in my youtube account: 
Spiral Tribe “MI5” https://youtu.be/M8viegBjUTM

DJ dream of yours? 

Currently it’s playing the Nyege Nyege Music festival in Uganda. Some of the others are weirdly already happening haha. 

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

I’d like to see more diversity in sound,audience make up, and booking in the dance music community.In my personal opinion too much of it is still very homogeneous and doesn’t reflect the inherent diversity/resistance of this powerful form of music.

A message from BSR;
From day one Butter Mixes were used as a platform for ourselves and our friends to connect with people and artists from the local music community and like minded folk globally. The sonic exchange has cultivated so many great relationship and taught us so much about music and people. We'd like to thank everyone that's contributed over the years and everyone that has listened and shared with us. Here’s to another 100.
Love, M&C

C.FRIM is the alias of Naarm (Melbourne) based DJ Charlotte Frimpong. What’s always struck me about C.FRIM is an utter lack of ego. She is quite possibly one of the humblest DJ’s I’ve met, particularly given all she’s accomplished. C.FRIM picked up DJing at her first gig a couple of years ago, fearlessly learning on the fly. Her perceptive ear led to her quick rise, enlivening some of Naarm’s most sanctified dancefloors. C.FRIM has performed at Golden Plains Festival in addition to supporting acts such as Junglepussy and Venus X. Her sets reveal a proclivity for syncopated rhythms, hard-drum and unpredictable curveballs.

For their 100th Butter Mix, Butter Sessions invite C.FRIM to share a mix spilling over two sides of a cassette tape, with all profits to be donated to the Black Rainbow charity. The mix is typical of C.FRIM’s innovative style, traversing genres and featuring her signature unconventional percussion. Charlotte and I touch base about the mix and what’s been happening as of late.

We’re ringing in the new year right with Seattle’s secret weapon @succubass sharing her refreshing set filled with techy, dubby, and squirmy numbers. As an essential member to the former intersectional and inclusive collective Tuf Seattle and sharing the stage with artists such as Umfang, Shanti Celeste, Objekt, Carl Craig, and more, there is nothing stopping Jessica Duran aka Succubass from continuing to share her gift of amalgamating fresh, unique sounds into one enthralling listening experience.

Favorite Quote: Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. 

Advice for the DJs, producers and artists of our community: 
Share music forever and always, it makes the world go round (this includes track IDS fellow djs lol). If you are vibing on someone's mix let them know. Repost, repost, repost--- the soundcloud algorithm sucks. 

Support your local club/radio station right now. 

Create the community you want to be a part of. 

Uplift those around you! Pass along knowledge & wisdom to those who are interested in learning how to DJ/produce. 

Forget about the clout monsters & taste gatekeepers. 

If you are having a bad day with music-- take a break & do something else that makes you feel good. Coming back to it will only give you newfound clarity.  

Learn the rules & then break them >:)

Oh ya and make sure to hydrate ; )

Vicki Powell... Is Burning #71

"For this Samhain set I aptly found myself wrestling with transition in my personal life. My housing situation was in flux and mind/patience thoroughly worn down from a year of society's hyper performative fixation on an always present Black struggle (made more dire by a pandemic). With the ancient origins of this holiday marking transition and a collision of existential planes I wanted to play from within my situation in that same manner as a means of closing the door on it in my own way. I wholeheartedly believe 'the only way out is through' and with this drummy widening gyre I wanted to present an illusive path..."

Next on the podcast is this full-field wonder from Naarm/Melbourne's Citizen Maze, member of the beloved Analogue Attic family and curator of the Mirror Tapes series. This set is a boundless horizon, a mix overflowing with so much pure, radiant feeling that you'll swear it was twice as long. Its density is staggering, yet moments of gentle and poetic bliss coalesce like visions in the fog. As melody burns into afterimage and heartbeat becomes rhythm, our senses give in completely. Enjoy this one, and thanks Citizen Maze!
