Next up!
Canada's @napmusick treats us to just over an hour of scuzzy dembow beats, techno-dancehall crossovers & sludgy electronica. 
An absolute treat this, we're honoured to have NAP join the podcast series.
We also caught up with the donny himself for a lil chat, read below >


AM: We loved your mix a lot, where and how did you record it? Was there a theme behind it?

Glad you liked it! I recorded the mix in my studio with a moody xone mixer and x2 xdjs on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. I’d say the theme is release. After the drag of a 9-5 week that sacred studio time on the weekends can be so special, especially with the current Montreal curfew. Channeling that ‘living for the weekend’ vibe here with some low-slung bass music I've been digging lately.


AM: We’re big fans of your label ISLA, how did it come about?

Thank you for listening! Isla was born out of a desire to document the music happening around me. I bought a used tape duplicator from a church in Abbotsford and started making very small tape runs of friends’. It’s grown a bit since but it's still just me putting whatever I’m excited about.


AM: We think Ambien Baby is fantastic, love Sophie too from when we had her down to play in Brighton, how did you guys come about forming the duo?

Oh thank you! That’s my best friend and soul sister. We’ve known each other since we were teens. AB is a reaction to our friendship and a vessel for us to explore sound & collaborate. 


AM: Out of music what are your interests? 

I'd say the interests are vast and ever-mutating!  In general, they lay in music rituals [music making/consuming], music’s therapeutic qualities, and its tireless research/ quest for its historicity.  


AM: Whats next for you this year? 

Finishing loose ends for some recording projects that have been in the works for some time, putting out some records im very excited about and learning how to tap/ dance flamenco.

New York-based DJ dreemseed pays homage to her recent stay in the UK. 

dreemseed grew up in Florida and made her way to Brooklyn over 10 years ago, becoming a staple in the city’s close-knit community. A co-curator of the brilliant down2earth mix series, we first discovered dreemseed through online mixes via some of our favourite platforms such as pipipi and The Lot Radio. With regular gigs at Nowadays, Bossa Nova Civic Club and Elsewhere, playing at nights such as pi2pi, SLINK and Incienso label showcases, dreemseed is a go-to for ethereal, trippy sets to lose yourself to whether it’s deep, introspective warm ups or hands-in-the-air bass excursions for those peak-time moments. 

Speaking about this mix, dreemseed says, "as the series is based in the UK and I had been based in the UK for roughly half the year, I thought I would let the mix be informed by the soundscape I've been coming into contact with over there. I've been in a darker mood, not like evil-wise, but just a bit more introspective and secretive. I think this is reflective of that state of mind."

Lights off, heads down. 😈

"So this mix is a shorter version of a set I played at T&E’s magical wedding-doof on Wiradjuri Country early April. I played late the first night post-ceremony – T described the dancefloor as “30 seasoned stragglers bobbing like mad apes in the thick cold fog!'

An incredible blend of genres and energies strung together into a psychedelic, bass-driven journey from NYC legend DJ Healthy. (@dj-healthyy)

Masa is originally from Japan but resides in NYC and is studded frequently along the lineups of NYC parties. I saw Masa open the main stage room at Sustain Release in September this year and his set was one of my favourites of the weekend. He's definitely one of those DJs who has mastered a massive range of styles and genres, with this mix a perfect showcase of his fluid but cohesive style and vast and impressive collection of music. It had me dancing down the street when I listened for the first time :') 

Thanks so much for this incredible mix Masa <3

Juanita's Mix 83 with NAP @napmusick

Q. How would you describe yourself?
A. Colombo-Canadian male, 33 yrs old, 5’11 ft, 170 lbs.

Q. How long have you been a part of the Mexico City music scene?
A. I’ve only been here since last March and feel that I’m just starting to get to know the city in general. The positive energy that I’ve felt from everyone from the techno to the cumbia scenes here is what has made me want to stay and get to know the city and country more. I’ve also been lucky enough to meet people like DJ Guccichotas, Joyce Musicolor, Jasmanic, Irma Ruiseñor and the EXT crew who have all welcomed me into their scenes and shown me so much love and support. 

Q. Tell us a little bit about this mix.
A. This mix was recorded in the 15th floor of Torre Zacatecas in Tlatelolco, Mexico, after having just moved into a new apartment. We had cdjs for the weekend after my roommate had rented them for her birthday so I took a shot at recording something with Juanita's in mind and it was honestly one of the most natural and fun sessions.

For extended Q&A... visit our website ----> pipipi.life <----------

Introduce yourself? Pronouns? Where do you currently reside? 

Hi I’m gianpaolo, nonbinary human. At the moment I am using they/them pronouns. Since 2008 I've produced and dj’d under the name “savile”, and as of this mix I’m transitioning to a new artist name, “gbd”. I live in beautiful brooklyn, new york city.

What track would you listen to... 

If it was the only thing you could listen to 24/7? Alice Coltrane - Turiya and Ramakrishna. It could be any one of a handful from the Coltrane family. Their works have served as a place of solace and safety that’s hard to understate.

Favorite DJ mixing trick?

This is a mental trick, and it definitely changed my playing: in my first
years of DJ’ing i found myself often reaching for tracks based on similar
qualities, like genre, bpm or production style. Instead, I started to prompt myself to select the next track that blended and provided contrast due to how different it was from what played before. I imagined this like building a log cabin upwards, rather than constructing a path of steps in front of me, one after another. This “trick” of challenging myself to choose the next track based on a nonlinear quality, gave me permission to be more personal in how I played, rather than choosing more common likenesses that I felt were more conventional or common. I know this may seem simple but it really opened up my brain:)

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

I do my best to avoid ranking things that I love. I aspire to avoid hierarchy everywhere. But, if I had to pick one, it would be Dweller. There is such important work happening at the festival and throughout their initiatives. I especially implore white people in this scene who’ve not heard of Dweller to double-back and learn closely from the work they are doing. It’s our responsibility as guests to engage and create in a tradition that is not ours, to learn the roots of the music, and to defer to black and brown people in their efforts to reclaim it and build anew.

If you could transfer all your knowledge from what you do now into something completely different, what would it be and why?

My mind immediately ran to different “practical” applications that I could apply this to, but in the end I am deeply grateful for the life I’m living and I have a hard time imagining another skillset or practice I would apply the same rigor to. I would however love to master other crafts !

What is your most recent favorite DJ mix and why?

This is like 10 months old but still sticking to me. Sometimes one hears a mix from a DJ that makes you realize how deep their ‘crates’ are - this was that mix ! Yumi’s “Haunted Dancehall”

https://soundcloud.com/movement-radio-athens/guest-mix-by-yumi-w-haunted-dancehall-22042022

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

Boyyyyy this could go a million ways... I find this to be a deeply political
question in 2023. There is no doubt we are experiencing an unraveling of systems and structures around us, and I believe the way forward amongst these ruins must be together. In that way, I hope to see a quieting of this drive for fame and popularity, a broadening sense of empathy for one another, and much, much more cross-collaboration between disparate groups and people across social and class stratifications. At the same time, i hope for an abundance of
spaces created by and for black and brown people, trans and queer people, and much less white hegemonic ownership structures.
