inc.ternational mix series 12: dj ojo (London, UK)

"This mix is intended to capture the carefree energy at the tail end of the endless summer heatwave; lazy, sleazy, balmy and dripping, gently euphoric; downtempo, ambient, wave, house and oddities in between. Improvised in a mushroom mood one evening and refined in one take the next afternoon after a morning sauna. Vinyl, MP3s, delay pedal, mixer, sunlight through the windows and plants dancing delicately along with me. Enjoy!" - dj ojo.

Those paying attention might remember ojo's killer track"Lounge of a Thousand Years" on our "Delusions VA" compilation from a few years ago now. Tripped out excursions and moods you cant quite pin point but tickle the itch. ojo is a pro at merging seamless textures full of emotive wonk. stoked to get him on the series. grab a drink, sit back, fade out.

Live at Moniker '25 - Louis Marlo

"Voices drew them down in the water.
Dense, damp air dripped from the walls.
Hazy red reflections shivered across their skin,
a feeble touch dragging them inward,
guided by invisible hands.

When all was done
and movements faded into mist,
murmurs turned crystalline.
Light lifted them slowly—
morning claimed them at the surface."

@christian-s-smith

him.saint (Christian Streit Smith, b. 1990) is a percussionist, producer, dj, & landscaper based in The Hague.  Christian grew up in Cincinnati, and has lived in Canada and Switzerland before moving to The Netherlands in 2016. He has been playing percussion since he was 10 years old, and while he was originally trained classically, he now works in the ever expanding field of experimental music.  Since 2020 he has self-released a solo full length album, a project with composer Jesse Broekman called 'Contrafacta' on Moon Villain, and next month he and his Basel based ensemble Gyre are releasing an album of music by Argentinian composer Santiago Diez Fischer on Another Timbre.  As a dj, the last years have seen several appearances on Maxi Radio in Leiden as well as making mixes for his soundcloud an average of once or twice per year, and in November he will begin a 4 show residency at Stranded FM in Utrecht called 'C. Smith's Midwest Meltdown' which will conclude in Summer 2026.  him.saint is his moniker chosen for all electronic dance music including techno, but the Stranded FM shows under his government name will be focused on presenting a wide range of his music taste outside of club and dance music culture. 

For my debut R&D mix I was really trying to compress the experience of a 3 hour set into 1 hour, and to lean into maintaining and building a continuous groove and energy for as long as possible before the final 15 minutes where it goes to some perhaps unexpected places. It was recorded in my apartment in March of 2025 using my computer, rekordbox software, and a ddj-400 controller.

RND 143 - him.saint

The latest mix comes from one of the scene’s true pillars and a key conduit between Tokyo and New York’s dance-music communities. DJ Healthy, an old friend of the label and one of our all-time favorite selectors, delivers a set that only strengthens that bond.

Words from the artist :

This is a full live recording from a opening set of Nowadays Nonstop in August.
I was conscious of the texture of sound through the set from dubby, psychedelic to groovy techno/house. Playing at Nowadays is always special and gratefully a lot of people showed up from early hour. I’m glad how it went and to put this out through NAFF mix series. Hope you enjoy!
