Juanita's Mix 85 with livwutang @livwutang

Q. How would you describe yourself?
A. Aspiring multi-hyphenate : )

Q. How long have you been a part of the NY music scene?
A. I moved to NY in September of 2021. I had started to meet the seedlings of my now friends and budding community when I played here earlier in the summer of 2021 and before that, when I went to Sustain in 2019.

Q. Tell us a little bit about this mix.
A. This mix is:

1/2 the sequel to my beloved Honcho dubstep mix from 2021
1/2 a mix of music I would have shown to my baby stoner self in high school, instead of the carefully curated Majestic Casual-ridden playlists she was dutifully crafting at the time to accompany her equally intricate apple pipes.

Juanita's Mix 085: livwutang

Artist: Anna Wall & Corbi
Title: Satellite EP
Label: Drifted Records
Cat No: DR005
Format: 12” Vinyl

Tracklist: 

A1. Satellite
A2. XTC
B1. Mind Sweeper
B2. Basement Damage

The 5th release from Drifted comes through featuring Anna Wall & Corbi who have collaborated for DR005 and it’s a banger.

The release opens with the title track, "Satellite", a thumping 4x4 style club cut that immediately sets the tone for the rest of the EP. This track has a relentless beat that will keep the club jumping. "XTC" follows on the A2, a composition that showcases true rave textures. On the flip side, "Mind Sweeper" is a real bad boy that is sure to melt the dance floor. Rounding off this latest output on the London based imprint is "Basement Damage", a beautiful atmospheric design with fierce break drums.

This EP is a true testament to the power of collaboration and creativity in the world of electronic music.

Antwerp's @supreems releases his debut LP, 'Nachtshone', a bass-forward 11-track release landing via his brand new imprint, @sweetsunrecords.

The record's title track makes use of a familiar sample, most notably popularised by Jamie XX and Joy Orbison, and justified stylistically by Supreems on the full length’s conclusion.

Boomkat Product Review:

Supremely dark side selection by Karl O'Connor featuring exclusives from Regis and Mønic plus a dozen bullets from Pessimist, Overlook, Ipman, Killawatt, and more, documenting a very specific moment in the mid-late 10’s where a bunch of renegades from D&B, techno, and bass music lurched into a no-mans-land of industrial techno, moody electronics, autonomic D&B, half-step, and noisy bass experiments. 

Now almost 20 years into its thing, osiris was established in 2006 by Simon Shreeve as a sort of dubwise cousin to Downwards’ more industrial predilections. Long intertwined with Regis through his label but also their collaborative work as Cub, Shreeve’s eye toward the hardcore continuum bleeds heavy into pretty much all the apocalyptic grot on show, veering from abstract noise textures to fully sunken, bombed-out acid bass and peak-time rollers.

We start around 2013 with a pair of missiles from Ipman and Killawatt, the former punctuating pile-driving snares and snarling synths, the latter somehow sounding like a classic Burial woodblock intro turned full moody, red-lining wobbler. M​ø​nic’s ‘Blink’ explores the elastic binds between dubstep and industrial/dub techno on a throbbing slow roller, while Dot Product treads into the sort of post-apocalyptic sci-fi territory claimed by the likes of Roly Porter. 

Pessimist’s ‘Pagans’ more or less steals the show, going at it with churning subs and strafing hi-hats, while Overlook’s scowling 170bpm D&B madness ‘Former Self’ is just pure aggy brilliance. The previously unreleased ‘Skin Of The Sea’ from Simon Shreeve & Regis finishes things off with something like industrial slowcore, taking a sort of autonomic template and slowing it down 1000% into a growling crawler full of spacious stabs and scattered snares, deep in the echo chamber.

Diffrent Music roars back into action after an extended hiatus to raise a couple of young giraffes with the electrifying new compilation, ‘Revolution Of The Giraffe’ LP.

Buy LP: https://diffrent.bandcamp.com/album/revolution-of-the-giraffe
Listen / Download: https://diffrent.fanlink.to/RevolutionOfTheGiraffe

Launched in 2010 with the aim of bringing something new to a drum & bass scene that had become overly formulaic, the label has continuously pushed in new directions, often incubated tomorrow’s stars, and evolved beyond even that original grand ideal. ‘Revolution Of The Giraffe’ unleashes 17 tracks of bleeding-edge electronic music, proving that after 13 years, Diffrent still sounds like nothing else. 

Core artists from the label’s distinguished history bring their expertise, such as drum & bass mainstay Arkaik and sound architect Fearful, who team up with label boss Dexta for the MC GQ-sampling ‘Old Skool’ — a new track with a classic Diffrent sound. And there are numerous debuts: A.Fruit reworks an all-time Diffrent classic, ‘Boxgroove’ by Dexta & Hyroglifics, into a glitchy halftime stomper; none60 bosses Silent Dust turn Dexta’s ‘SE4’ into a rebellious dancefloor juggernaut; and the mysterious Gaunt’s ‘Firefloor’ becomes locked ‘n’ loaded rave artillery in the hands of Pepsi Slammer. 

Label stalwart Mauoq puts his signature psychedelic future dub spin on ‘Departed’ by Cuelock, who in turn delivers the ice-cold, grime-indebted ‘Pages Of Snow’. Lakeway conjures the epic ‘Even Though’, nearly eight minutes of ecstatic, spell-binding, hyper-rave wonder. Dexta goes solo with squelchy techno jungle stormer ‘Giraffes On Acid’. Even Sense MC makes an… appearance.

New-gen Diffrent acts are in fine form too. The inimitable BrandNewTrumpets opens the album alongside Macc; ‘We Are The Tightrope Walkers’ is a powerful spoken word piece that erupts into a hail of punishing breaks. No Nation, Sheba Q and BK Balance, meanwhile, turn out explosive, hi-tek junglism on ‘Too Late’. From Diffrent’s industrial-toned sister label Are We Really Alone? (A.W.R.A.), Amir De Bois joins forces with Fearful for the paranoid, jittering ‘73’; Tokyo’s Itti summons thunderous bass on the ritualistic ‘Rumbling’; and Croatian artist Spaj.A.S.E.’s competition-winning, mind-mashing remix of the first ever Diffrent release, ‘Everyones Mad’ by Chills, finally sees the light of day. 

Always looking to the future, Diffrent also welcomes modern jungle visionary Eusebeia, who puts his ethereal touch to Crypticz’s ‘Could Have Been’, and Stateside up-and-comers Illexandra & TGRbass, who deliver the supercharged, elastic bounce of ‘Swampy Swami’. 
Closing out with one from deep within the vaults, ‘Aftaparty’ is Beezy and MNTX’s ode to seeing where the night takes you. It’s a fitting note to end on, as a new era of Diffrent Music begins. Where will it take you? Join us on the ride and find out.

"I've loved every moment of the label so far: the fast-paced release schedules, the slow years, the podcasts, albums, singles, EPs, parties, etc. This compilation album signposts where we are at — a bunch of classic Diffrent artists, a load of new faces, and a few remixes thrown in for good measure. Each tune stands alone, but stands tall next to each of its siblings. I hope you all enjoy it as much as we have! The revolution is here, join the revolution!"
- Dexta

‘Revolution Of The Giraffe’ will be released Friday 22nd September 2023. It will be available digitally and on cassette, alongside a limited edition zine.

To celebrate the launch of our debut release ‘The Monstera EP’, A side producer Samuel Jabba has graced us with a podcast contribution to compliment the occasion.

Hailing from Colombia, he is the guiding force behind ‘From The Void Above’ and ‘Tastes Like Acid’. Whether it’s Craig Richards or Z@P, it’s likely your favorite spinners might have one of his tunes ready in their bag. 

Samuel’s unique production style has clearly been influenced by his own digging exploits - as he embraces the shadows in this hour-long showcase. A profound exploration into the sonic realms of the unknown. Blending shades of deep, moody prog with some serious breakbeat and spooky techno, crafting a tapestry that beckons you to dive headfirst into the abyss of electronic music. 

After you’ve finished losing yourself in this entrancing podcast, be sure to check out Samuel’s two tracks on ZON001 - ‘Kinetic Dreams’ and ‘Poetic Bliss’. Pre-orders through Liricadistribution.com (EU) and Lirica Archives bandcamp.

"I live in a small scene-less seaside town called Southport in the North West of England where there isn’t much to do other than wander beaches, parks and dunes and nab vinyl from the record and charity shops with intent to make tunes. Growing up I've been exposed to all types of music from Jazz to Jungle, Easy Listening to Hardcore, you name it. I like all kinds of music and try to incorporate elements from multiple genres fused with my favourite heartbeat - breakbeat Jungle. Here I present to you a collection of tunes I’ve produced using an combination of software and hardware. Themes include procrastination, disgruntlement, isolation, quarrels and boredom. Ladies and Gentleman I present to you Lost Realms."

Pepsi Slammer hits Sweet Box with two cut-throat hardcore belters. Fresh from his gnarly remix of Gaunt’s ‘Firefloor’ for sister label Diffrent Music, the Londoner ups the ante with ‘Jazzies’, a grime-meets-breakbeat sheller packed with dramatic strings, sirens, pirate radio vox and the gulliest of low-ends. Pure slewidge!
