i'm late, but love this mix! so many favs on here. <3

sooo. good.  brings back memories of home.

We're all familiar with the healing power of music, but the Motor City's Whodat has made it her life's mission to spread that through her DJing and productions. Always coming at music with a sense of sincerity that carries over into her infectious sounds, she has released on the likes of Uzuri, Meakusma, and Queen Mum's Mail. Always uplifting and filled with life-affirming melodies, her take on house is all about feeling good and sharing love.

On this week's podcast, Whodat's smooth mixing style allows the glory of her selections to shine though. Despite dealing with difficult personal circumstances of her own, on top of the pandemic we've all endured, her music never fails to bring joy. There is warm and diffusive soul from start to finish, with scuffed up beatdown, off-grid Detroit grooves and seductive deep house all adding up to the sort of heartfelt and authentic grooves that the MidWest, and Whodat herself, are so well loved for.

Juanita's Mix 062 with musclecars @musclecarsnyc

Q. How would you describe yourself?

Brandon: Light hearted, reserved and a deep thinker. 

Craig: Crazy, sexy, cool. 

Q. How long have you been a part of the NY music scene?

B: I’ve been a part of the scene since I was a teenager, well before I was legally allowed to be in a night club. I’m still discovering so much about our music scene; we have such a rich history. 

C: We’re both born and raised here so it’s like we’ve always been part of this scene. In and out of record shops pre-teenage years and sneaking into the clubs by 16/17. 

B: I also feel so fortunate for the community here in NYC. There really aren’t any other states in the U.S. that have a scene as vibrant and thriving as ours!

Q. Tell us a little bit about this mix.

B: We took a spontaneous approach when we recorded the mix. Craig would play a record,  and I would feed off of that energy when deciding what to play next. It’s similar to how we play live. Nothings’ rehearsed and the music selection is unconstrained. 

C: The mix is a good example of some of the sounds you may hear at the party we throw. Hour long sets can be tricky to encapsulate the entire mood in such a short time, but we try our best to let the mix sonically speak for itself.

LADYMONIX is a producer and DJ based in Detroit, who’s sound is deeply informed by the history of house music. Rooted in jacking soulful grooves and deep basslines, she's just as confident in pumping out house anthems on her label Frizner Electric as she is on the decks. 

Notes on the Mix ///
"Sometimes I have a plan for a mix but in the end... I can only be me. We get right to it from the start in this mix. Lots of classic vocals, 90s remixes, and deep sounds to the very end. If you see me play anytime soon, know you'll hear lots of these tunes - always ❤️"

XOXA BLEND 100 - LADYMONIX

Marco Weibel is the epitome of modesty. Over the past decade, the New York artist has quietly amassed a loyal following through expansive DJ sets that touch on everything from spiritual jazz to disco, but rather than credit himself, he lets the tunes speak for themselves. This humble attitude has won him the respect of veterans such as Lefto, as well as a growing fanbase from all corners of the musical spectrum.

When he's not DJing, Weibel curates nights at various New York venues and co-runs Darker Than Wax, a label based out of Singapore (where he was born and raised). His selections showcase rhythm and texture over drops, but he always has an arsenal of radiant house cuts or UK garage to fire up a crowd. Cavernous crates aside, the cadence of his sets is perhaps their most distinguishing feature. On his weekly shows at Lot Radio, Hawaiian funk is followed by broken beat while at the club, 2-step spills into dembow techno and rich amapiano.

While his mixes and performances usually start out on the melodic side, his RA Podcast switches things up. Unleashing a whirlwind of jungle before moving onto '90s-flavored house and other loopy styles, his session highlights local talents with plenty of delightful transitions throughout. Peter Brown's spacey soul flows into Aquarian's pulverising breaks, Ayesha's percussive techno precedes heart-tugging house and heavy dub morphs into Kerri Chandler's acid. Fluid and rolling, this is a true digger's delight.

Winedown Session .02 (09/2022)

Apartment Records' Kenny Hanlon is the DJ for this week's featured mix for 5 Mag's RISE series.

Kenny Hanlon is a long term "get" for me personally as I've been a crazy fanboy of both the music on his label and the way he runs it. Hanlon runs @apartment-records which released one of my favorite records of 2022, Being's There, available on digital and cassette via Bandcamp. Come to think of it, Apartment also released one of my favorite records of 2021, NCW on NCW. Their next release (and thus potentially my favorite record next year) will be from New Jackson, coming out in early 2023.

In addition to running Apartment Hanlon is one of the organizers of the Open Ear festival in Sherkin Island, Cork, Ireland.

Tajh Morris, AKA Turtle Bugg, dips into The Thing's sprawling collection in this special mix for RA. In his own words: "I picked out sum random rekkids, gave em a run thru n then we proceeded to blaze ourselves stoopid. Sumwhere inbetween that I scratched one of the records (had to be taken out) and found the Melvin Sparks (RIP) skit. This is the end result, skips, warped media and all."
