Interview & tracklist: https://www.lowendtheorists.com/theory-therapy-mixes/27-ben-bondy

Next up on the Theory Therapy series is DJ-producer Ben Bondy who has put together an extremely chilled mix of indie favourites and “late night stoner vibes.”

It's pretty exciting to have Ben contribute to the series. The NY producer is in the upper echelons of the electronic music scene in the US. He's released albums on some of the best labels around—West Mineral Ltd, Experiences Ltd and Lillerne Tapes to name a few—and he's collaborated with the likes of Pontiac Streator, Ulla and more eaze.

Importantly though, he's also just a huge music fan with a keen interest in various scenes, including Australia's (you may remember he cropped up on Best Effort’s Stay in Bed comp last year) epitomised by the many sounds and styles his releases deftly encompass and in the sets he puts together.

All of Ben's mixes are amazing—his epic three-hour HNYPOT one is a particular highlight—but this recording feels like an especially personal one. It was pieced together in Maine while “missing home” and contains several tracks from his formative years. It's an absolute gem of a mix, nostalgic but never too melancholic—perfect for drifting off to late at night.

My mix was made intuitively & luckily recorded in one take after I finished working the run-time & track arrangement :) Rather than focusing on specific tracks I wanted to share or any big picture concepts, I focused on a mood & track-to-track flow. I feel that this mix winds up diving into a sort of dreamy hazy nostalgia very reflective of the headspace I was in at the time of making it.

@stone_xo, producer and DJ from South London, has been turning heads with a style that slips between dreamy downtempo and sharp-edged club energy. A mainstay on Berlin’s @triplexlarge, his recent release hit hard and showed why his sound keeps sparking attention in the community, alongside work on Goddezz, Theory Therapy and Kontext. For us, he delivers a mix diving deep into darkside downtempo and illbient - raw, textured and with his distinct touch

q. pls introduce yourself:
I’m Soria, I’m an artist and musician from Ireland, living in Berlin at the moment. 

q. is there a story behind the mix?
I wanted to tap into a vibe of strength, passion, intrigue. Also wanted to keep it fairly loose genre wise and true to what I’ve been listening to and the mood I’ve been feeling. 

q. what’s the best way to enjoy your mix?
Defo a solo headphones moment, maybe a long journey home. Like after exiting a situation…

q. describe a favourite object in your living room...
I think this vintage Avon perfume called “Precious Doe” my sister got me a few years ago. It’s long empty but the deer shaped bottle is so beautiful as an ornament. I think of her every time I see it. 

q. are you working on any projects right now (music or not music)?
I rarely make music these days and when I do it’s very sporadic, but I definitely find myself excited by collaborations at the moment. I’m really excited to mix down the recordings of some shows with Jennifer Moore in Dublin. We’ve been friends for so long, beginning to work together was so inspiring this year.

Living Room n°89 ~ Soria

One of New York’s most romantic and exhilarating electronic sounds, DJ Python (@worldwideunlimited) makes his debut this year on XL Recordings with the EP "i was put on this earth". On this record, he gently forays into uncharted territory as a singer, producer, and collaborator, an evolution made all the more impressive in light of his groundbreaking musical projects to date, such as "Mas Amble", "Angel", and "Club Sentimientos Vol. 2". While splitting his time between New York and London, Python has teamed up with a diverse set of collaborators, including South London rapper Jawnino, Honduran-born powerhouse Isabella Lovestory, unclassifiable songwriter Organ Tapes, and NYC mainstay Physical Therapy. Across the five-track EP, Python shares bold solo songs alongside these intriguing collaborations. The project retains the captivating melodies, atmospheric textures, and rhythmic innovation that defined Python's earlier recordings, while building on and shaping these signature elements into ambitious and addictive new compositions.

A resident behind the decks at Nowadays, New York’s seminal club, DJ Python has developed a limitless-speed style defined by playful invention and masterful mixing. The everyday fades under the sway of his tropical, primal beats, arranged with a precision that conjures an otherworldly atmosphere. Skies are painted in hues only he could create, with transitions that awaken the senses, blending sophistication with vitality, chaotic yet meditative, making it impossible not to move.

His albums and mixes have earned praise from Pitchfork, Resident Advisor, Crack Magazine, and beyond, cementing his position as a boundary-pushing force in contemporary electronic music and securing his place on year-end lists worldwide.
