art:cast °107 | Awkwardly Social (CHENG NWSH b2b DJ Carlita)

Usually Awkwardly Social heads CHENG NWSH and DJ Carlita invite aspiring artists to share their vision of music with them. Usually. This time the duo is invited to contribute and musically portray their approach in the art:cast series and do not expect less than a journey through genres via the unknown. In an vinyl-only back-to-back set the both boost the bpm from 120 to 175 without one even realizing as the Awkwardly Social founders skillfully know their crafts and how to let their audience experience different musical facets. Something that has been brought to the table by the launch of their label, Awkwardly Social, a couple of months back too. As of now with two catalogue numbers out, namely Lårry's EP Nines and Aroent's Eleese, the Berliners have already proven their magnficent selector skills in that field. However, Awkwardly Social has become a household name in the scene because of events at Zur Klappe, OHM or ://about blank over the last couple of years. But with clubs closed and their preference for faster music DJ Carlita and CHENG NWSH compiled and mixed a set that could've easily be the peak of one of their events when the party is in full swing, squiffy swinging through the night.

A set I played last weekend at Super, Århus. 
It's a bit all over the place, but that's what happens when you play at a place like Super and you're too comfortable <3 
S/O to all the volunteers there and to DJ ECO who played after me for handling it so well! Big love - 
Natal

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! ;)

Big love to this duo for providing us with this immaculate selection of eccentric bangers! <3

FAITHBEAT-011 Ploy - The Flirt EP

For RA.1000, DJ Sprinkles' first mix in over a decade is a powerful meditation on the genocide in Gaza.

Dance music often relies on simple narratives: release, escape, unity. But those narratives can often feel inadequate, and even at times, hollow. Or, as Terre Thaemlitz might bluntly put it, just "shitty."

For her first mix in around 15 years, Terre Thaemlitz AKA DJ Sprinkles, challenges us to think differently. "I felt this 1000th podcast should reflect the moment in which it was made," she told us in her Q&A.

And what is this moment? Every day since Israel's 2023 assault on Gaza began, an average of 28 children have been killed. That's an entire classroom, every day, for over 600 days (at the time of writing). It's a staggering figure that only captures a fragment of the listless cruelty imposed on the strip.

Faced with such a genocide, what can music really do? How political can it truly be?  For their RA.1000, Thaemlitz gives us an unflinching rebuke to the idea that music should provide escapism. The mix weaves ambient fragments and jazz passages, woven around samples from Israeli media and the voices of outspoken Jewish critics like Gabor Maté and Norman Finkelstein. 

The result is not just a protest, but a document of our time. For Terre Thaemlitz, music is never just music. Her RA.1000 serves as a reminder that in an age of relentless suffering, the most political act is to reject the illusion of escape, and search for something greater.

Main Phase with Braga Circuit - 08 September 2025

Representing fellow Berlin-based party starters Awkwardly Social, we’ve got DJ Carlita. Strap in and strap on for this homage to the perils of the cosmos. Twinkling synths and the floating of interstellar clouds soon give way to a more turbulent onslaught, with a meteoroidic downpour of percussive nosebleeds, disconcerting computer malfunctions and black hole bass lines.
