An emotional rollercoaster of a mix comes to us this week from Groovy Groovy boss Akanbi, recorded live and direct from the Nowadays booth deep in the summer of 2021, alongside DJ Voices and EQUISS. These were the early days of our reopening and New York's return to nightlife, after a difficult year of closures due to the pandemic. There was a sense of cautious optimism in the air for some, and exuberant joy for others. Akanbi's set on this night met the dancers where they were, merging a tender emotional tenor and uplifting soulfulness with headier rave moments through his unique sense of pacing, all laced in groove and full of surprises. Here's two hours of a DJ fully immersed in their signature style, a set packed to the brim with bubbling percussion and downtempo interludes. 

Big thanks to all the staff and dancers in the house on this night. Until next time!

This mix is from the heart. I’ve been very inspired by mid 90s club culture and the sonic developments around the time period of 1992-1997. Some of the track exist outside of this period, but ultimately have the same tone and feel; deeply penetrative, emotionally rich, and radically soft and queer.

A barely intelligible hum, a hulking cinematic presence. The two so far from one another but meeting in splendid harmony. We’re in it. Making our way through this syrupy affair thoughtfully concocted by gbd (@0gbd0).
