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

Skee Mask is a versatile producer from Munich, who doesn’t want to be identified. He got influenced by a lot of different types of music over the last years, which made his productions pretty various. One of the rising stars of the almighty ILIAN TAPE, you can find a new track of his on the recent "Various Artists - A Decade Ilian Tape" compilation. His mix weaves between various moods and styles, a soild contribution from an unpredictable artist. Enjoy

@johnbarera

Introduce yourself? Hometown? Where do you currently reside? 

Hi! My name is John, I was born in Massachusetts, in Boston. I currently live in Queens, NY with my fiancée Rochelle and our cats Chris and Cosey. If I can be honest, I’m a tremendous music nerd first and foremost. 

Favorite music collective atm?

There is a crew in Mexico City that is amazing called Ext. They are throwing really fun and free-spirited parties. Volvox and I went to play for them last year for a collaboration with our label. It was a killer party and it left a great impression on me. I gotta say though - the hot mass crew are doing the good work stateside. Any serious music heads who have never been to that space have to make the trip. 

Favorite mix series?

Daisychain, I really admire what Leesh is doing there. Many killer artists contributing and always very thoughtful presentation. 

How do you hydrate at a gig?

With my go to drink, the often misunderstood white wine spritzer. It’s half water! Drink these in the booth and you are good. In general if I’m partying I’m aiming to be drinking a glass of water with every drink so I can stay sharp. 

Dream b2b? 

Wow, great question. I guess I would have to say I would love to play b2b with Tama Sumo at a Panorama Bar for a long, exploratory closing set across many genres. She’s pretty much my favorite DJ in the world. She has good energy. 

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

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

CCL At Smangtasia festival. It’s hard to describe their style, that’s prob what makes it so good. Been really into Flora FM, CCL, Ciel, the TerraFirm & Is/was labels lately. Musically these are along the lines of colorful steppin’ liquid break house, if that makes ANY sense lol. Good music from good people at the end of the day. 


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

Inclusivity. Creativity. Thinking outside the box. I feel that gatekeeping is one of the biggest problems for our scenes.  Breaking down insular behavior, I think promoters should stop booking the same people over and over while ignoring other quality talents in their midst. Very often I look at the programming of clubs and parties and I’m like oh! you booked XYZ again for the 11th time.. It could be a headliner or an opener I’m referencing - there are so many quality acts out there! In my ideal world more people get a chance to do this stuff that we love. 

In every dance community there are loads of musically talented individuals not getting their due. It can be alienating to feel like your putting all your blood, sweat and tears into your music to be denied opportunities. Critically though, there are two sides to this coin : artists, you can’t go around thinking people owe you something. For me that’s super toxic to the scene as well. What we need is a more open forum based around positive cultural exchange.

FT051 - Hot Wax from one of DC's freshest!

Soso Tharpa is one of DC's best young producers and the A Side here, "Decode" has been the secret weapon in a ton of DJ mixes over the last year. A true wtf acid beast, "Decode" bangs traditionally and levels the place. B Side "Sea Mojo" takes the sharp drums and filtered moves somewhere jumpy and PlayStation-tech'd, with a nice bubble. Powerpack. Tip!

@vani_t

Introduce yourself? Hello hello hellooooo
Preferred pronouns? she/her
Where do you currently reside? just outside Belfast very recently

How is everything going with you right now?

How much time you got? ;P I'm going through change and constant flux, learning every day and staying present amongst the uncertainty.

Who currently inspires your music-wise?

My Climax babes Lucy X (@lucyecstasy) and Abnama(@abnama) inspire me all the time, sharing music with them stimulates me a lot and makes me feel really connected to sound and why I love it and they connect me to myself. Then when we bring it all together, fusion & magic! We are constantly morphing in sound too.  I first started mixing on Lucy X’s decks and she inspired me to keep exploring them. Her ear, craft, and authenticity blow me away every time. I am inspired by Tommie True, my friend and collaborator (Satoena & spit service) Tommie shares powerful messages through voice and sound and I can’t wait to play live with her. stay tuned for more spit service!!

I really love what Berkley and Jonathan are doing, I love couple duos.

I am inspired and excited by what's coming out of  Ruin, a necessary and empowering femme voice in these times.

Noff Weezy (@noffweezy) is a mad phreak for sound and I am really inspired by her drive and obsession with it.

Sophie Sweetland (@-tiffany)is a big inspo to me, has helped me trust myself a lot, and always inspired by what she creates. She can go everywhere and isn’t defined by one thing. she gives many people the opportunity to explore through sound .. shares her resources and is a massive inpso to everyone around her. Girl daddy of the dance community I think.

my oozey friend Special Guest DJ (@specialguest-dj), the records he puts out and creates are filled with such depth and experimentation. he is mad for lifting up friends and providing opportunity too. 


4 djs you would want to see on a lineup for the first party post covid asap?

Lucy X, Abnama , Yoni, The neighbourhood character,


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

I like to read a lot. I spend time thinking about histories, mythologies.. and try to express my adoration of all of these through music. 

I’ve taken a bit of a career change and I'm now a care worker checking in and looking after the most vulnerable in the communities over here which feels very grounding and keeps me grateful and appreciative of what I have around me. it’s challenging work but I love to challenge myself and see what comes out of this in the future. 



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

hehe ;)

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

It's a way to connect, some sounds trigger something in us, and when that little thing makes someone else feel the same way it's cool. we can express how we’re feeling through sharing music. And inspire each other, challenge each other with the discovery of different sounds. and keep pushing it together, that's why I love working with lucy x and abnama through climax, they challenge me and we like to push each other with our differences and similarities in sound too..and to keep rocking not stopping with that.. you share yourself by sharing music. sometimes no communication needed when u share music together.
