MIX SERIES 003 MARA ZULI

For our 30th instalment we have a very special submission via Milano. 

Balleremo & Cura Festival resident, Ortensio brings us an extended mix testing the limits of 'dance music' - a beautifully introspective blend of slow jams, percussive textures, moments of serenity contrasted with moments of total chaos and more dub infused and bass heavy sounds.

Super beautiful, thank you Ortensio <3

For this mix I wanted to try and build a blend some of the outcome of my researches towards the different shades and forms of danceable music I personally enjoy the most, possibly limiting as much as possible the usage of music conceived and created specifically for the contemporary dance floors and sound systems, and trying to dig deeper into different dimensions of regular and non-regular rhythms, music jams and head-moving sonic creations from all over the world, mostly focusing on the mediterranean macro area and more.

My past, when I was living in Berlin and DJing more regularly in clubs, has helped me shape my technical skills. Milano instead has helped me breaking my limits, getting out of my comfort zone and destroying a lot of the patterns that, as a DJ and Music Maker, were locking me down in a box. There’s a lot of oxygen, curiosity and creativity nowadays in my everyday life.

Definitely one of the kinetic events. I prefer small DIY events over infamous and hyper-celebrated social gatherings. The only thing I care the most about lately is the sound system.

Can’t avoid trying to bring some attention to our beloved creature, @balleremo-04-14. Also, there’s a few, but definitely @ormeye and DNN’s LOBO, Dubwise, Buka and Evolvere are some of my favorites. But I’m sure I’m forgetting some.

𝐚 𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐃𝐉 / 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐞𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮’𝐝 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐢𝐠 𝐮𝐩?
Definitely @st-ill, @piezopz, @notmass / @cipppo, @biasedraw and @ernestobellicini.

The city where I live, Milano, for the vibe. And lately, our event “Balleremo”. There’s other cities I love way more tho for the sound systems.

There’s really too many. I can mention some of the artists tho: Mala, @keinobjekt, @djrum.

o:How have you been sleeping lately?
w:Not great, I kept on falling asleep watching twin peaks season 2, not good for sleep!

o:Are you a daydreamer or night swimmer?
w:Daydreamer :)

o:Where do you go to dream?
w:Wherever my heart tells me I should be <3

o:What was the last thing you heard that moved you?
w:HTRK live a Strange Brew, such a beautiful performance <3

o:Have you ever cried on the dance floor?
w:Many times!

o:Where did you record this mix? 
w:I recorded this mix at the location of my party Acid Lake, the sun was setting, a deer was roaming up ahead, and a giant orange moth was flying around me :) 

o:What drew you to the sounds?
w:I have been thinking a lot recently about the perception of time in the context of love and loss. The way that our mind orchestrates a measurement of how long something feels in accordance with its impact on us. 

There is a magic involved in our metaphysical connections with one another, and the ways in which we can connect despite distance and extended time apart, but also how it feels when something bad happens to someone we love, sometimes before any contact with that person if the connection is deep enough. 

I wanted to channel these thoughts and connect with a collection of sounds spanning across many years and locations, tied together by their formation deep within the soul.

o:What's your plan next weekend?
w:The release party for the debut record by Excelsior Ruth @xlsior ;)

For U-R-S, sound is not merely an expression of what has already been mastered or performed. Instead, it’s a living archive, a musical encyclopedia in constant evolution. Much like a library of unread books, her studio is filled with instruments, recordings, and fragments of compositions that might never be fully realized but are essential in her potential. These sounds are not just records of past achievements but seeds for future experiments—a reservoir of possibilities waiting to be explored.
Every note played, every texture created, adds to a vast network of interconnected ideas. On U-R-S approach, the incomplete sketches, dissonant layers, and raw recordings are not failures or incomplete works; they are tools, ideas in waiting, elements of a larger and ongoing process. In this way, her mixes are not a finished product but an evolving workshop—a space where sound is continuously transformed, recontextualized, and enriched.
Artefact : 
Just as Umberto Eco’s library is a repository of future projects, U-R-S’s archive of sound is not a reflection of what has been definitively achieved but a workshop brimming with future explorations. Her music, like Eco’s library, embodies the ever-unfolding pursuit of knowledge, creativity, and discovery.

a micronism balanced 
by its interactions with the ecofloor-system

nourished by the hidden currents of sound
it shifts the very paradigms

equalizers, polaroids, cow tracks, ripped pants and lots of mulch lead to weird energy spikes. the current spiraled, syncing with a mysteriously evolving gravitational pull.

elders speak of its sound 
pecky as wood, shamanic low ends, crystal clear 3D glitches and drifting echos. 
a permanent state of dynamic - life in syntropy.

the sound, they say, is born of a dance 
a tension that moves like water, frequencies that rise and fall like tides 
adapting to the elements like a chameleon mom

polyrhytmic movements towards succession
with an untamed will
for solidarity and distribution

the climate in balance
diversity, cooperation, fruits - all in abundance
