Advice for the DJs, producers and artists of our community: 
 
Don’t lose sight of the reason we are all creating in the music scene. When you prioritize community, it will go a long way in creating sustainable and safe spaces for every walk of life to enjoy. Events are remembered by the joy you bring to people, not the money you walk away with.

With this mix NI CO asks to please learn more about and consider donating to: 
Vancouver Black Library (www.vancouverblacklibrary.org)
Van Black Library’s proposal is just what you’d imagine - a Library ran by Black organizers, dedicated for Black and BIPOC community members. This is a space to not only sign out books for free, this is intended to be used as a study space, a chill space, and a safe space. It is to cater to the needs of the Black community first and foremost. The hope is that one day, this not-for-profit initiative can be a springboard for other services like group therapy, community care efforts in the realm of fundraising, childcare, art exhibitions, poetry readings, bookclubs, zine making etc. Ultimately, in addition to connecting people to information, libraries connect people to people.

Mika Oki @ Kiosk Radio 18.10.2022

Anuraag is a second generation settler based on Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung Country. Their practice as a DJ is layered and improvisational, favouring hi-def, glossy textures, organic percussion and fluid polyrhythms, drawing connections between traditional and hypermodern instrumentation. It is an inimitable style that has led them to play for global institutions including RA, Bossa Nova, NTS, and Boiler Room, and support legendary artists including Helena Hauff, DJ Sprinkles, and u-Ziq. 

""This mix is a live recording from a show at Sideway, a gorgeous little club situated on Ngunnawal/Ngambri Country. I played the middle slot between two DJs with a very different style to me, and each other. I wanted to bridge the gap between the two by matching the energy of the opening DJ then trying to disorient the crowd through a lot of tempo and groove switchups, so that when the closer began the 120ish stuff they planned to play would feel like a relief and draw the crowd together.

I had a pretty challenging time playing -  I've been very used to local crowds that I know and trust to stick with me through my constant shifts in direction. I had a bonkers week in the lead-up and only had about 30 minutes to prep in the club. But I was surprised how happy I was with the recording on listening back, and think it gives a fairly accurate slice of what I tend to play out lately in a functional, club, party context."

Ep 322 w/ Anuraag

https://soundcloud.com/alejandro_mrnco
Alejandro Marenco, the shortened moniker of Nicaraguan-born, Chicago-based musician Noel Alejandro Gutierrez Marenco, makes expansive electronic grooves designed for “throwing ass.” Marenco’s music is evocative of that night, the one that feels simultaneously driftless and gigantic, one that glimmers upon remembering hours spent in a sweat-drenched, dimly-lit club, or the last dance at a dive bar down the street, or a blaring stereo during a wide-eyed 3am cross-city drive to get home. Largely creating in Ableton (and occasionally bolstered by a drum machine and Moog synth), Marenco fluidly weaves a variety of sounds from endless inspirations - Jamaican collective Equiknoxx, the latin tribal techno of Nick León, and the influential dance label Livity Sound, to name a few. Elastic beats, industrial percussion, fluid synth, oscillating rhythms, and a flourish for ever-changing instrumentation, Marenco’s mixes are reverberating moments of kaleidoscopic euphoria.

75 - Sin-Pit

Sin - Pit spent her formative years in Singapore and Pittsburgh -- both of which are cities with thriving dance music communities. Having started as a college radio DJ in Pittsburgh in 2014, she has since played predominantly at clubs in Pittsburgh, Singapore, and NYC (where she is currently based). As for her current style: she is a sucker for filthy bass lines, snappy snares and distorted bell sounds.

This mix is a live recording from her recent Nowadays Non-stop set on Nov 26 2022 from 1-3am. A multitude of heavy-bass-leaning genres were tapped during this set including broken beat, uk bass, footwork, dnb and a few other surprises

Spice Jams Vol. 13 - Rage.inald b2b 30,000AD

The scene took place in Paris at la Machine du Moulin Rouge for Rinse France's birthday in february. We played early but the dancefloor was already completely packed.

It was the first time we played together. Few days before playing, we were wondering how to prepare the set, but we both agreed to play Freestyle and see what happens. The set is very spontaneous and full of tempo shifts, something that we both like a lot ! We should do it again in the future as it was so much fun !
