Opening of room 1 on sunday evening
Some weeks ago I performed in front of my friends and people I looked up to, bathed in the emotions and psychedelism typical of the sunday evening at Freerotation.
Thank you so much Steevio and Suzybee for trusting me to bring some weirdness in the magical room 1, and all my friends for being so supportive !

After growing up on the renegade scene of Montreal, Paul (alias como se DJ) moved to Brooklyn and founded the DIY party series RECESS with the intention of bringing a psy-forward sound he felt was missing in New York City. Inspired by forest raves and experimental dance music, he dreamt up his party with the desire to conjure the feeling of dancing in open nature with your friends. como se DJ’s sets strikes a balance of body- and heart-activating psychedelia. At once mischievous and emotional, he pulls in sonic elements of bass, deep techno, prog and electro, flirting with genre and groove, while maintaining a lush, blissed-out undercurrent. But this mix features a different sound for him: tender, melancholic, analeptic ambience.

1. How/why did you get into DJing?

I learned to DJ during COVID lockdown. I was living in Montreal, and I just had acquired my friend’s beaten up DDJ-400. I’d just moved into this new apartment where I’d host these ridiculous dinner parties with my “COVID bubble” of about 30 of my friends. Three or four days a week, I’d have everyone over for some truly insane meal, followed immediately by a house party. The handful of us who were beginner DJs would clang out some tunes and we’d all dance around til sunrise or until we got bored and then we’d do it all again <48 hours later. We all started out at varying levels of DJ adeptness, but through these dinner parties and occasional group DJ sessions, we all helped each other get better. It was beautiful; extremely surreal, but it worked wonders. 

2. What was the coziest gig you've been to/experienced and why?

Earlier this summer, I went back to Montreal to play this renegade party called Layer 05. That crew had been doing a bi-monthly party in the open at this wicked location in Longueuil, across the water looking into the city. It took place in this secluded forested spot right on the water, the dancefloor was a clearing in the woods, and you’d turn around and be staring at this old amusement park called La Ronde with the lights from the rides and from the city reflecting on the St. Lawrence River. After my set, two of my fav Aussies, LOIF and Sina, played some extremely wooky psychedelia (in proper Australian form) through the night into sunrise. It was my first time playing to a big crowd in the woods, and the vibes were perfection all night – it felt like a night at a festival: deeply joyous, intimate, and serene. 

3. Do you consider yourself an introvert/extrovert in the scene?

Without a doubt, I’d say I’m an extrovert in the scene. I always related to others over music. The kinds of music you are drawn to says a lot about you and your values. I go through phases of being obsessed with certain sounds/genres/DJs, and I’m endlessly curious and determined to meet others who happen to share my particular musical affinities as they change and grow with my taste. 

4. If you had to choose 1 track to vibe out to forever, what would it be?

I’d have to go with “Swim” by Madonna, produced by William Orbit in his idiosyncratic triphoppy, dreamy, and deep style. It’s a masterpiece and – in my opinion – far too underrated. It’s groovy, sultry, and a bit darker for Madonna than her usual sound. (Honorable mentions: Protection, by Tracey Thorn & Massive Attack; The One to Wait, by CCFX; We Float, by PJ Harvey.)

5. What is your routine when preparing for a gig? Do you have any special remedies/mental/physical prep?

It’s gig-dependent, but I like to spend the day before the gig alone, listening through sets of the other artists on the bill. I like to get a sense of their sound and use that to figure out how my set / timeslot will fit into the flow of the evening. I like to arrive on the earlier side to see how the night unfolds, and so I get a sense of the crowd and what they’re vibing with. I’m very conscious of the progression of a party and I want to make sure I play something that feels event-appropriate, while taking things in unexpected directions.

CoziMix 15 : como se DJ

box (@boxofbox) is one of the dearest friends we’ve made in this dance music thing. A seemingly eternal well of kindness and intention, the legend of boxofbox is slowly spreading far and wide. To know them is to love them and to hear them play is a gift (always). When I first heard box would be playing @hot-mass for the first time for Pittsburgh’s fantastic Transit party, I almost cried…. before immediately began making a plan to get to Pittsburgh cause I wouldn’t miss it for the world. 

The reality of that night far outweighed my high expectations. Making their way through the world’s longest playlist, box sloshed an enthusiastic crowd of friends and strangers, human dancers and prancing pups alike through their expansive musical soup that touched on so many much loved musical traditions and diverse dancefloor sounds that we hold so dear. I won’t spoil the ending but I’ll never forget hearing those last few tracks and then emerging from Hot Mass to discover the outside world blanketed in a still, untouched fresh layer of snow that had neatly fallen while we were sweating it out inside.

This recording is a pleasure and we’re so happy to share it with y’all.

𝙎𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝𝙩𝙨 𝙤𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙨𝙚𝙩 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝙗𝙤𝙭𝙤𝙛𝙗𝙤𝙭...
Hot Mass might be my favorite dancefloor. The friendships that have flowed from/through there are some of my most cherished, and this set in many ways was a love letter to all those folks.

It was my first time playing on the system (if you don't count a mini set of trance bangers to annoy Aaron Clark during a Humanaut party setup). I came in with flexible open format intentions – I have seen the full gamut of DJs play there for some of the most up-for-anything crowds you could hope for, and I wanted to meet that dynamism full-on.

A couple selected track notes:

There are a couple "ambient" washes, which I love doing when I can get away with it. The tiger snoring specifically is something I've wanted to try inspired by Plaslaiko closing Panorama Bar, where mid-set he spontaneously blended into a pitched down loop tool that made it sound like pulsating/purring. He let it sit for at least a full minute while he ducked down to re-up some vitamins before knocking back into something breaky. Truly a floor-melting moment for me; hopefully I melted a few heads in return.

I threw on a block of tearful tracks for the landing. Spring's "No Time (for crying)" in particular was a must play for me; I listened to it almost every day during covid lockdown, and I wanted to forever link it to one of the spaces (as Not Mass) that brought me consistent solace during that hellish era. The last three tracks were inspired by seeing the faces of loved ones left on the dancefloor and wanting to give them something for a good happy cry.

Huge shout out to the Transit crew for inviting me to play one of my dream gigs, and to all the Hot Mass dancers past, present, future: this one's dedicated to y'all.
