the 10th mix in our naffcast series comes from Jasmín. An incredible Amsterdam based dj and producer Jasmín. Here's a few words from the artist herself :

This mix was recorded at home during a heatwave in Amsterdam. The faint voices and warm, slightly distorted drums echo the hazy, feverish heat of humid summers in a city for me. Most of these tracks are older, have been with me for years, and I keep coming back to them. Others are more recent discoveries, found in digital back catalogues.

It is not easy to find Saphira, and it is even harder to leave. If it so chooses, the city will appear first as a quivering mirage on the horizon, second as a blinding stone mirror, and third as a sprawling maze whose sounds and sensations embrace the traveler in a slow and languid frenzy. Quite famously, it is home to countless locked eyes and spellbound hearts. It is a place whose deep currents of longing, like the sound of its ocean shore, seem to rumble and hiss under the surface of every word and gesture, in every bead of sweat that blooms from the glimmering skin of its people.

Saphira is at all times caught between a low-lying sun to the west and a glowing moon to the east. They hang above the skyline with an eerie stillness, watching the city’s tireless creatures writhe together in tenderness and sin, casting upon them a pale, silvery gold light that hangs heavy in the humid air. It is in the tension of this peculiar light and its slender, tangled shadows that Saphira’s longing grows dense and time thickens within its walls. Traveler and resident alike are suspended in an endless eros, caught tightly between pain and pleasure, between the sting of saltwater in one’s eyes and the sticky sweetness of ripe fruit on one’s lips. 

Perhaps this is why Saphira’s radios and televisions stutter with phrases and images so ghostly yet so intimately familiar, why its dusty buildings seem always to crumble so gloriously yet never collapse, why around every corner there is a street that so closely resembles one of a distant and loving memory, and why the curling flakes of paint on its walls and facades will reach out against the heat without fading or falling. It is a city inside of want and outside of time.

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

Hi! I’m Stephen. Coming up on 6 years in Brooklyn. I’m from Memphis and did a lot of growing up in Denver. I played the flute for ~8 years until I graduated high school. 

Earliest musical memory?

My dad taking me to out to a coffee shop in Memphis on Saturday nights when I was like 6y/o, there was always a DJ playing weird acid jazz & lounge CDs and I didn’t really understand it but I loved it

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

On a warm beach so I can play all my weird balearic records that are just collecting dust bc no one wants to hear that shit in Bushwick.

Favorite decade for music and why?

I love right now because it’s just getting more and more accessible for everyone!

Favorite collective/scene at the moment?

Always had a lot of love for the Spectrum people. Sublimate throws great parties – SmangTWOsia! Also shout-outs to the Unter and Discwoman fams and obvs Bossa Nova!

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

The concentric pastel rings inside a gobstopper ;)

Favorite movie rave scene?

Technically it’s TV but I love the Super Hans NYE party from Peep Show. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3TlwsjGB32c
I love how you can hear the party and their reactions to it but never actually see the party.

How do you hydrate at a gig?

I try to hydrate throughout the day beforehand so I can just drink beer while I play

Dream line-up?

Bjørne Torske and LNS

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

Advice to beginning dj’s?

Tap your toes & watch the levels :)

Secret weapon track?  

Gene Farris – Bonus Beats (The One)
OR https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8nOrbKSb7MQ

DJ Pet Peeves?

Playing an absurdly long ambient intro when the party is half-packed and people are ready to dance.


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

Mexico City would be a dream, but I’ll play literally anywhere. I never get a chance to leave the city. Please book me
Most underrated artist at the moment?

towLie is super sick. Also Olive T is on her way to big things

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

Stricter real estate regulations so there can be more accessible places to [live and] dance, & more money for artists and workers rather than the investors!

Best track for getting down ;)?

Favorite late night snack?

A focaccia bread sandwich that you’ve been waiting to eat *all day * and when you finally get to it, the bread has soaked up all the oils and become the absolute perfect texture.


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

Hopefully will have started a commune with some other Djs at that point, where we’ll have grapevines and grow weed and throw wild hootinannies for our friends once in a while.
