This mix is indebted to Andrew Weatherall. It’s a nod to both his familiar and lesser-known sonic sides. I hope the mix is something he would enjoy listening to, with new songs to discover and signature tunes spread throughout. We could call it a tribute to (or perhaps more honestly, a rip-off of) an undeniably defined sound.

But was it? Weatherall would be the first to reject this premise, even if we know it to be the case that his sound was recognizable far beyond the average musician or dj's reach. But perhaps by 'sound' we really mean 'style,' for no one could argue - not even the man himself - that on this he remains unrivaled.

Weatherall refused to be predictable or risk being put in a box, on principle but also quite naturally: if ever he felt pigeon-holed, he wouldn’t “change musical direction, just sidestep.” He was an artist in constant evolution, impervious to the rules of others, and I am inspired by his mind just as much as I am his methods.

As a self-proclaimed underachiever, Weatherall took a stance against ambition throughout his career, in subtle and not-so-subtle ways. The sidestep lifestyle hinges on this ethos, and from it emerges a clear channel for creativity - with originality at its source.

This mix is an ode to the underachievers, the anti-ambitionists, the sidesteppers. Never forget, as the man himself once said: if you ever find yourself climbing the ladder, it’d be best to jump off before you’re halfway up.

Yours in failing and sailing,
DJ Voices

This mix was originally recorded in June of 2023 & liberated from the archives in February of 2025 to commemorate the five year anniversary of Weatherall's passing.

DJ Voices - Sidestep Lifestyle SIDE A

The last six months have found me seriously reconsidering my relationship to the dance floors I've grown up on, processing regret, guilt and shame for whatever part I've played in upholding the institutions that are holding us all back. Stark-realizations-I’ve-been-ignoring-for-literal-years type beats. 

This is a recording of me closing out our first weekend Sorry Records party at Nowadays from 3:30am to just after 5am on April 5th 2024. I must admit I kinda blacked out for this set and at first I felt as if I didn't exactly achieve what I set out to do. I love closing parties but must admit I found it particularly tough to DJ the way I want to and find a truly joyful and natural improvisational flow when I’m hosting the party and have been on my feet being social for 7+ hours.

Just like my first set at the club (which is archived as my Spontaneous Affinity mix), I aimed for this set to speak on my personal relationship to this music and the spaces that form around it. While that first set was about looking back, this one found me trying to address the present moment as well as express a genuine hope for the future.

Naomi présente R&B Gems - 22 Novembre 2024

“It started a few days ago…any speaker you approach starts playing grainy, barely audible dance tunes. Sound bars, bluetooth and car speakers—you tried turning them off, synching and un-synching, unplugging them, and nothing has stopped the music. At first it was easy to brush off, but it’s too frequent to not take it personally. Yesterday you walked back and forth under the grocery store speaker twenty times, and each time you did, the music was there.

Now you’re lying in bed and it's happening again. This time out of your phone speaker. You pick up your phone and a prompt arrives: BEAM ME UP? There are two buttons under the question: “Yes” and “Yes.” After a sigh and a passing moment of fear, you pick a “Yes.”

Like in a movie, everything is suddenly white and you’re floating up. As you rise, the music gets louder and more defined, you’re approaching the source—and then, a moment of clarity: this is a space rave you’ve always hoped for.

You find yourself on a dancefloor in what might be a space station and the vibe is everything you need. The beings you find yourself dancing with, whoever they might be and wherever they might be from, are your community now. They’ve all gathered here to find the same thing you have: a rave utopia you had only dreamt of. “
