Smooth and beguiling as the man himself, a delightfully heady serenade comes your way. Hank Jackson (@hjacksonnn) needs little intro. The "Ridgewood MVP" stretches out and shows his versatility in this introspective blend.

Rounding off the year, Philadelphia-based DJ and producer Opheliaxz rolls with the punches on this weighty session.

We first came across Opheliaxz through her contribution to 3 X L's mix series earlier this year and have been digging through her rich catalogue of mixes ever since for platforms such as Honey Soundsystem, Tobago Tracks, Animalia and Aire Libre to name a few. During quarantine last year, Opheliaxz was exploring more ambient leaning mixes, leaning in with the mood of the times. Now she's showcasing her love for sounds that fall within the realm of bass music, specifically aiming to show a different side of dubstep to the American audience where it can be misrepresented. She approaches the mixes with playfulness, piecing together juxtaposing moods and textures, manipulating the records to fit within her colourful world. 

In her own words, Kelsey says, “my inspiration for this mix was finding the balance between soft and tough within bass genres. I really enjoy bass music as a whole and wanted to play with the texture of drums between multiple styles and wonky right and wrong bpms. I've for a long time been scared of playing the genre out because of the learning curve but have been an avid listener for many years, so it's been a nice flip from the more ambient and experimental styles I was doing throughout 2020 quarantine. I think Dubstep, in general, is misunderstood here in the states and has a bad rap. There's a lot of room to play with the drops between dubstep tracks and I wanted to take full advantage of showing the listener the soundscaping possibilities. The goal was to make this mix surreal and dreamy without losing a listener's interest. I would say bass music is on the rise in the states but audience-wise, not many understand how to vibe out to it in a large club setting, my hope is to continue hearing more of new and old styles out in dance spaces in New York and beyond because it's an exceptionally brilliant broad genre that's worthy of continuing to shine bright.”

For extended Q&A + OG pi pi pi track game please visit our website ~~~~~> pipipi.life <~~~~~~~

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

Hello! I’m Ivy (she/ her) and I live in Eora (Sydney), Australia :-) + I have a 2 year old cat called Frankie 

Who/what currently inspires you music-wise that has nothing to do with music?

I’d say that my emotions generally inspire me, as well as different times of the day. I tend to get the most ideas when I’m trying to figure out what music to listen to in a particular setting - like whether I’m walking around the neighbourhood at dusk, at the park on a beautiful day, cooking something really yummy and comforting or if I’m in a bad mood and need to let some angst out haha


Favorite sound of the city? Describe how it makes you feel. 

I don’t know if this is specific to the city but I love the bird calls that magpies make - I can hear them outside my house early in the morning and it makes me feel like I’m on holiday in the country somewhere :-)

Dream line-up? 

Sandpit Alias - sundown to sunrise 

Who do you think is the most underrated artist of our time?

Alex G <3  

If you had to describe yourself as flavor, what would it be and why?

Cinnamon - a little spicy but also sweet and delicious ;P

What is your favorite party/collective where you reside and why?

Such a tough question! If I had to name a few - Nectar, Pure Space and Vibe Positive for always putting endless love and care into their events - from lineup curation to constantly working on how they can make spaces safer, more accessible and representative of Eora/ Sydney’s diverse music community :-) 

What was your best moment on the dance floor?

In 2019 Moopie and Bayu closed a small festival called Echo Flats that was a few hours drive away, they played like 4 - 5 hours of the best, grooviest tech house I’d ever heard until the sun came up - it was a life changing morning :’)

What is your favorite temperature? What kind of music goes well with it? 

Probably something between 25 - 28 degrees celsius with some downtempo RnB :-) 

Any advice to upcoming DJs? 

Practice makes perfect! 
Preparing/ pre-planning your sets - especially when you’re nervous about a gig
Backup your shit (!!!!!!)

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

More 24hr licences for venues - less gronks - more tech house

Ivy - 32˚C

Welcome @big-ever to the BSRMIX!

Hyped to kick off the year with a bass heavy mix from the brother Big Ever! Big Ever is the freshly minted alias of ex Sydney club scene veteran Thomas McAlister aka Cop Envy of the infamous Heavenly crew. Having recently released some world class productions on Incienso and his own new imprint we are stoked to see the old pal back at it with his signature sounds. Dig in and enjoy! If you're looking for more check out his "Studio Productions" EP and his work with Logic 1000.

BSRMIX #119 - Big Ever

A beautifully warm, diverse and wiggly mix from Oakland, California based Wonja (@wonj). Alongside being a talented dj & avid record collector, Wonja makes up one half of Motoko & Myers with her partner Dan. 

I'm constantly impressed by the wide-spanning range of genres, styles and moods that make up Wonja's mix catalogue - always new and always fresh.  For this mix, she's put together a playful and eclectic mix of glitch, groove and interesting soundscapes.

Thank you so much for this one Wonja! <3

@adab arrived at a love of electronic music on the dance floor of queer-run techno party In Training in their native Cleveland. Before long, they went on to established themselves as a DJ who plays electric sets of house, techno and club beats as part of a constant quest to "seek the unifying elements in the world and themselves." The Pittsburgh resident and radio regular is now half of Cleveland party Heaven is in You and has an international profile that is only set to grow as they continue to confound expectations with each new set. 

That starts with this week's mix, which is an other-worldly trip into genre-less electronics. Dense and cinematic ambiance and sound design set the opening scene - it's a world of searching synths and shadowy alien life forms in which a skeletal rhythm eventually appears. Deconstructed dub, club and jungle flavour the ensuing grooves which are heads down and dark. They evoke all manner of dystopian futures and make for a brilliantly unconventional ride.
