mixes

by @su-baykal, curated by @eeeeeeeugenia

"This mix is based on how I used to feel going swimming in high school. 
I’d go after class on Fridays. Once I started swimming, I would feel completely sheltered from the the world  as though I had ceased to exist in the world and the world ceased to exist for me. All I thought about was the water and how I moved through it. I remember the clarity of being in there, the blue that was everywhere, how it felt like I was in on some sort of secret that I had no access to when I got out. I’d follow the furious clouds of bubbles kicked up by the person ahead for what felt like forever, in mesmerized form, stretching my arms forward, kicking my legs behind me, going back and forth, back and forth. I would feel my heart get louder and louder in my ears as I got tired. My limbs would start to feel heavy, it would get harder and harder to float, my breaths would become gasps and I would know I was almost done. I knew that the water could hold only me for so long."

Words by Ceci (@ccl-url): 

"Special thanks to Steevio & Suzybee & all the volunteers, workers & dancers 💙

This is my recording from Friday night Room 2, 12:30-2am, my first time being at the mythical Free Rotation. Playing one of the first sets & seeing the room, decor and the big bad subs of Room 2, years of fantastical lore and reality melded, I wanted to keep it sexy, wonky, trippy— imagining a psychic electric swamp and how one would levitate thru it... to the sky. No bpm trickery this time. Out to the heavenly bodies of the universe! ;)

About this mix:
a frenetic nocturne dedicated to a summer's night 
the sky is indigo, you are walking home, everything is melted
you slice the city in half 
air is suffocating (maybe a whisper of breeze at one of the cross streets) 
your brain is very loud while the world is very quiet

Influences:
Biology, the sun, pleasure, ephemera, the little things in life, etc

Affiliations/Residencies/Projects:
I recently curated an experimental compilation which I’ll share through a project named Cold Storage. I’m hoping to have this released sometime this fall.
I’ve released tracks through Early Reflex, W133, Rest Now!, Kindergarten Records, and Vief. I also have forthcoming material in the works for Elicit Records and N-Face.
I’d love to give a particular shoutout to Kindergarten Records, I will be releasing a split EP with Drummy sometime next month. The label owner Masha and the extended Kindergarten fam have welcomed me with open arms since my first release with the label in 2023.

Advice for the DJs, producers and artists of our community:
Give into your curiosity and passion! I find that exploring your interests can lead you toward unexpected, beautiful places.

I think it’s also incredibly important to build and uplift the community you find yourself in. We live in bleak times and the state of the music industry is unsustainable. We need to take care of each other! 

About this mix:
I have an omnivorous appetite for music/sound and my interests are ever-shifting. At the moment, I’ve been interested in bridging the gap in my music library between electronic dance music and other stuff I enjoy.

For the past few years, I’ve had a particular affinity with forward-thinking club music, particularly tracks that you can’t quite put your finger on. This is definitely reflected in this mix! 

With this mix Martini asks for you to please learn more about and consider donating to:

❁ Synth Library of Portland: I want to highlight the Synth Library of Portland, as this is an important collectively run arts organization that is an amazing resource for those who are underrepresented or economically disadvantaged.

I grew up in a rural town outside of Eugene and never had access to equipment or community. When I moved to Portland, I became a member of the Synth Library of Portland and finally had the chance to have hands-on experience with hardware and meet like-minded people. There are substantial economic barriers for those who want to explore physical hardware and I’m glad that I had the opportunity.

Although I still don’t really own any gear besides a few pedals and some MIDI controllers, the Synth Library also introduced me to the work of the sound artist and co-founder of the Synth Library, Felisha Ledesma. Her work is incredibly inspiring and I took a modular synth workshop she taught over Zoom which explored concepts of modular synths using Pure Data and Automatonism. This was eye-opening for me! (https://synthlibraryportland.com/)

❁ Medical Aid for Palestinians: I’d also like to urge donations towards Medical Aid for Palestinians. (https://www.map.org.uk/)

Daisychain 347 - Martini

We are honored to share with your precious ears the divine sensations of Kiernan Laveaux in her mix…. a left field sound system in the sky, pink fluffy clouds reach out, dripped out phonk, pineal gland activities… originally recorded live on the Lot Radio, now represented in its glorious “zone-ific-ness”, creativity, multidimensional experientiality…🌙 Free the Land, Defend the Forests, End Occupation Everywhere!

“Let’s hear the rhythm of those dancing feet
And with emotion of the heartbeat
I can't stand it here on quiet nights
I don’t wanna live on silent street
Let’s have the music all day long
Let’s have the sound all night
And feel it merging with your lifeline
I wanna feel it all the time”

- Maximum Joy - Silent Street / Silent Dub

interview live on –>–>–> www.wav.world/ –>–>–> @darwinspec

wav.world emerged out of a long-running chat exchange of mixes, tracks, and some playful speculation: If you were going to make a platform for DJ mixes in 2024, what would it look like?

Mixes are a unique type of musical expression. They capture a specific moment in time, determined by the knowledge and style of the artist. A mix is as important a creative statement as an album, remix or EP. One mix can change an artist’s career, one mix can open a listener’s mind to something completely new.

𝔂𝓸𝓾𝓻 𝓯𝓪𝓿𝓸𝓻𝓲𝓽𝓮 𝓶𝓲𝔁𝓮𝓼 𝓪𝓻𝓮 𝓽𝓲𝓶𝓮𝓵𝓮𝓼𝓼.

We miss the importance that mixes used to have. So, we made a platform for mixes.

Each wav.world mix gives one artist the time and resources to create whatever kind of mix they want, to share something sonic about who they are and what they love.

Every wav.world mix will feature a longform interview with the artist which gets to the heart of what moves them—in music and in life—through text, video and image. Each edition of wav.world will feature the commissioned work of music journalists, visual artists and graphic artists.

Daisychain 032 - Su Baykal

@su-baykal

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

I’m Su. I was born in New York but am Turkish and have lived there as well as some other places such as Geneva and Cherry Hill, New Jersey. I currently live in New York. 
1 fun fact: I’m a pretty good belly-dancer.

Favorite music collective atm?

SIREN

Favorite mix series?

I’m between Daisychain and BIZAARBAZAAR. 

Listen to 4:44 in your mix… who does this track make you think of?

Spock :)

Favorite decade for music and why?

The future!! Just kidding….I love the 90s, especially the electro made then. 

How do you hydrate at a gig?

Water always! Maybe sparkling water before the gig but NEVER while playing. 

Dream b2b? 

Afrodeutsche or Sentimental Rave

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

**Lost in a storm
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wIoKH32SaIk

**Sunrise in Berlin
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1C4dUOulWq8

**Holiday family dinner when a family member asks “what is techno?”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3ZpXPbPWcE

**Convincing coworkers you are not an edm dj
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXYrXtIqwH0

Advice to beginning dj’s?

Try not to doubt yourself. Ignore people who put a lot of weight on “technical expertise”. Remember that there isn’t one way to DJ, how you want to approach it is up to you! 

Secret weapon track?  

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jarZE3PZ97E

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

Erika at Tangent Gallery in Detroit
It felt like walking through a swamp - slow, heavy, syncopated rhythm. It was a very humid-feeling set. 

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

I see myself playing ambient music in my living room and floating around with the lights off. 

Most underrated artist at the moment?

So many but some that come to mind are Bergsonist and Eszaid. 

Favorite DJ trick? 

Not really a trick but I love to switch between 4x4 and syncopated kick patterns like between techno and electro or jungle. It gives room to breath and switches up the energy in the room. 


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

An end to the idea of the White Technically Adept Guardian of Knowledge Western-European Electronic Musician Man. 
Less sacredness of genres, methods of making music and of DJing.
More ways to play and feel safe for POC, non-binary and women-identifying DJs, artists, ravers, music enthusiasts. 
Less gatekeeping, more experimentation.
More financially accessible raves and parties in New York.
