Music Therapy SE.2 | EP.6 - DJ Chia Pudding

Name: Kelsie Walda
Alias: DJ Chia Pudding (@chiapudding)
Pronouns: she/her
Location: Chicago
 
Influences: dancing <3, earth and universal energy, god, flowers, Missy Elliott + the hip/hop and r&b of the 90's/early 00's that I grew up with, my friends, Noumenal Rave, pure joy, raving with real ones in the woods :), the Skate Palace (childhood skating rink), and trees
 
Affiliations/Residencies/Projects: Swung (party)
 
Favorite Quote: "The world is burning. Ideas are like hot potatoes. If you're still hoarding yours when the waves consume the shore, when the fires reach your village, you have lost the game. Don't hold an idea for too long. Give it away, and trust that someone may think it better than you. I have come to the conclusion that I may not live long enough to finish all the writing and stories I want to tell. How much better would it be to give these stories away to people who can grow them into something wilder and more durable? Authorship and individuality have only recently become attached to art-making. For most of human history art-making was always multi-generational and always a relational event" - Sophie Strand 
 
Advice for the DJs, producers and artists of our community: Get to know yourself because other people (often unknowingly) will try to exert their will on you. If you can stay grounded in your own body/energy, you will be better equipped to navigate these influences in a healthy way. Practice :))

Inner Sounds w/ Beggar b2b Shroomie [11/10/2022]

The rhythm, the groove and faith in simplicity. All of them are hallmarks of Skudge. Started as a duo in 2009, the project is now a solo effort (with live performance help from another individual).
The Skudge universe has come a long way from the anonymous and humble beginnings to world-wide recognition through the labels Skudge Records, Skudge Presents and Skudge White.

Right from the start, the main output has been on Skudge’s own label. This resulted in a Berghain live set right after the first release of Skudge Records.

The fine sense of loops, detail and taste have reached people for almost a decade. Be it through their EP’s or albums, hardware focused live sets, one thing remains, which is that the Skudge artistry and label are here to stay.

07|01|23 - The Last Days Of Disco w/ Dutch William

NTS Apron Show - 25th Jan 2023

Alias: DJ CHIA PUDDING
Pronoun: She / Her
Location: Chicago
Name of the Mix: Strictly 4 The Love
About the Mix: «I had a moment of pure ecstasy and surrender on the dancefloor when Cinthie dropped “4 The Love” by Karizma and DJ Spen last year at smartbar. This is where the name of this mix comes from—and those vocals convey precisely what dance music means to me. These tracks, spanning the continuum of House and UK Garage, were selected and mixed from the heart <3»

DJ Chia Pudding takes having fun very seriously.

A dancer first, she’s drawn to what moves her. Deeply inspired by the R&B and hip hop of the 90s and early 00s, her selections are at once forward looking while also referencing this admired era of her earliest dance floor memories. While her sets are not confined to one genre, they typically lean towards the sounds of the UK bass continuum and invite you to fall in love and/or lose your mind.
