Introduce yourself?

Hi there ~ I’m Jesse. I live in LA, run a label called Motion Ward, walk dogs, love food, make music with my friend John, DJ from time to time, and love my friends and family. Music is a way of developing emotional closeness with people for me :) 

Where did this gig take place?

This gig took place in Turin, which is in northern Italy right next to the Alps. The venue was a DIY space run by Misto Mame Collective and affiliates. About 9 people pay for the space to be able to operate monthly, and the feeling of community there is really strong and sweet. It was a highlight for me on this recent tour I did. Also really loved the people ❤️

What did you drink as you played?

I had one beer and water lol, and at the very end someone brought me a glass of red wine :) Was trying to minimize the amount I was drinking so I didn’t have to go pee, but eventually I had to loop a track and bolt to the bathroom :X (can you spot the moment?) 

Favorite moment in the mix?

Probably when it starts to escalate after the first few tracks ~ it reminds me of when the energy that night palpably shifted and felt like the dance floor was turning into an amoeba 🦠

Presenting the ever-lovely and ever-inspiring @mikemidnight for #175 in the series. The Boorloo/ Perth based artist initially garnered attention through his output of insanely dreamy trip-hop productions... the perfect combination of emotional & uplifting, and immaculately produced. Mike plays live as a solo artist and now makes up 1/3 of the exciting new band Trickpony, made up of Roza Terenzi, Emkay & Mike himself. 

Beyond his knack for weaving tear-jerkingly beautiful trip hop infused songs - Mike is also a great DJ. Here, with a more club-oriented mix, he showcases his taste & talent, a BTS look into the genres & moods that make up the mind of the talented artist.

Very happy to have you in the series Mike! Thanks for the mix <3

This mix explores weird and experimental drum patterns. I wanted to create a journey through dark and weird rhythms that challenge the usual beat structures and that typically characterise my DJ sets. The drums are always different, sometimes off the beaten path, creating varied dynamics—moments that are upbeat as well as static, trippy moments—giving the entire set a mysterious and intense atmosphere. In my DJ sets, I like to bring together all the music and genres that have influenced and shaped my musical path over time.

So, thanks to Dj wiggles for the invite :)

I was lucky to grow up in a family where music has always been a priority. I’m grateful to my parents for passing down this passion to me. My first approach to music was through acoustic drums—my father is a drummer and my mother took singing lessons. For me, playing drums was a moment of freedom, a way to vent, but also a love-hate relationship. I remember that at some point, I couldn’t express myself the way I wanted or with the people I wanted. 
Over the years, I got closer to the clubs in my area, and my love for the DJ figure was immediate. For several years, I lived in Puglia, my hometown, where I took my first steps as a DJ. Those were beautiful years, full of learning and hard work and research, all to start playing in clubs and illegal parties eheh

Right now, I think the music scene in Milan is one of the most prolific and solid in Europe. There are so many high-level artists, each with their own background and unique sound. Moving here was a turning point for me since the beginning, I’ve felt motivated and inspired by all the artists I’ve connected with. I believe growing in an environment where the scene is this strong and innovative is essential for any artist.
That said, one of the biggest issues in the city right now is the lack of spaces to play, perform, and organize parties. Prices are also insanely high, which makes it really hard to access and self-fund events. What we’re doing is a form of resistance..we have a mission, and we need to keep it alive.

Philipp Otterbach is a German artist, DJ, and electronic music producer known for his experimental and atmospheric approach to sound.
His musical journey began in the underground scene of Düsseldorf, where he became involved with the influential club Salon des Amateurs—a space recognized for its avant-garde take on club music. It was there that Otterbach developed his distinct style, one that prioritizes emotional storytelling over conventional dancefloor functionality.
His productions often feature analog synths, field recordings, guitars, primal percussion, and ambient effects, forming dense and cinematic sound collages. Listening to his work feels like entering a sonic dreamscape—rich in mood, memory, and quiet tension. There's a strong narrative quality to his music, as if each track were part of an imaginary film score.

For Elee — Prayer in Song

To my baby girl, my gift, my Elee:
You came into the world on a day of sorrow,
and yet you were light.
Born into brokenness, you became our healing.
Even in the saddest places,
God proved His love by giving us you.

The night you were born,
I travailed in grief and pain.
But the moment you arrived,
we all fell in love with you.
Your brothers and sisters fought daily for the chance to hold you,
because holding you was holding joy itself.
You were balm to our wounds,
laughter in our mourning,
comfort in our affliction.

Elee, you are my joy,
my healer, my forever love.
Though miles and silence may stretch between us,
nothing can erase what you are to me:
the proof that God still births beauty out of ashes.

Isaiah 61:3
“To give them beauty for ashes,
the oil of joy for mourning,
the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness:
that they might be called trees of righteousness,
the planting of the Lord, that He might be glorified.”

Happy Birthday, Elee.
You are my forever gift, my blessing, my joy.
I love you endlessly.

Released in honor of my daughter Elee’s birthday, and in remembrance of 9/11 — may beauty bloom even from ashes, may love heal what sorrow cannot, and may light rise in the darkest hours.
