New York party Merge is often described as a queer techno extravaganza. Over the past two years, it's built a loyal community from the ground up while integrating everything from high-energy trance to disorienting acid into its rave repertoire. Resident Clarisa Kimskii has played a defining role in the collective's growth, largely thanks to the ultra-kinetic and rhythmic pace of her DJ sets.

Time and time again, the Washington DC native has demonstrated her ability to lock in dancers through captivating and hypnotic selections across various sub-styles of techno. There are tribal, witchy cuts. Jacking, Detroit-style funk. Psychedelic, DJ Nobu-style grooves and austere sounds that nod to Sandwell District. It's the kind of range that explains why Kimskii has been booked worldwide many years over, and more and more as of late. Her deep understanding of techno's myriad flavours come from two decades of industry experience as well as esoteric productions on labels like Mysteries Of The Deep and L.A.G. (her own short-lived, underrated, essential techno platform).

Kimskii's long time in the techno scene, her experience and her expertise is expressed in full form on her RA Podcast Moving from industrial grit to gentle transcendence to heady acid, the mix feels free, fluid but also remarkably precise, just like Kimskii herself.

Lychee is one of Brooklyn's most versatile and intentional DJs. In September's session for El Commodino, they came with a hour of slow, emotional and extremely intimate selection that alchemized my post-rave blues into bittersweet memories.

Equally comfortable playing peak time club sets or deeper introspective selections, Emily Jeanne has found her own niche sitting at the borders of many sounds and never steering too far in any one direction. Expect cutting edge sounds ranging from cutting edge techno music to the outer limits of experimental drone/ambient and everything in between.

JEM, a raver first, DJ second. Mixing a freaky fusion of leftfield electro, uk bass, wave, idm, acid, and more.
With a musical background stemming from everything but electronic music, expect the unexpected when it comes to her sets. You’ll hear influences from punk, Motown, jazz, hip hop, shoegaze, rock.Her inspiration knows no bounds.

Born and raised in the suburbs of Detroit and now a proper city resident of ten years. Detroit is ingrained in her and she is representing the birthplace of techno from a point of view focused on recognizing and sharing the rich musical and cultural history of the city, while simultaneously pushing the status quo and breaking boundaries of what electronic music is "supposed" to be.

About the mix:
This is a one-take, all-vinyl mix focusing on my collection of '90s/'00s hardgroove and rave records, with a few modern records included. I wanted to keep things simple with just two turntables and a basic mixer. Real old school shit. I feel like it transports you back in time to a warehouse or basement rave where there weren't any bells or whistles, trendy tricks or social media. But it's cool because, despite many of these tracks being 20, even 30 years old, the sounds still feel relevant and bangin' for today.

Live @ Nowadays Nonstop - Jan. 20, 2024

This is a wild, unapologetic, barnstorming ride recorded between 1:00-4:00 on a throbbing dancefloor during the first leg of Nowadays Nonstop on the night of Jan 20. This was a romp of delivering my intentions passionately and precisely, playing many of my favorites, and operating at my very best across genres, traveling through a tunnel of engulfing psychedelic darkness, bass weight, shifting tempos, and beat structures into celebratory light. 

As an artist/DJ, these are some of the moments one lives for. It’s certainly something I’ve dreamed about for years. The opportunity to play in one of the rave’s hallowed halls - one of the most esteemed clubs and my own very favorite - was a dream come true and has been a quiet moment of apotheosis and vindication of years of dedicated, focused work. 

There are many nods and treats in this set: tracks shown to me by friends, absolute hypnotizing favorites and gems I’ve held onto, the voice of my true love, and (for those following my lore closely) the magic of opening with Phil Elverum’s work. Tracklist below:
