Name: Yana Kalanzi 
Alias:  Nalule (@nalule)
Pronouns:  she / they
Location:  ‘Vancouver, BC, Canada (Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), and səl̓ilwətaɁɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) unceded ancestral territories) 

Influences: Yemaya & Oshun, ancestral spiritual practices, my pastoral cattle-herding ancestors (Batooro), The Nile River, bachwezi mysticism , Maasai warriors, esotericism, western red cedars, mossy forest grounds, ferns, rainforests, shrooms, marijuana, black rave culture, UK club genres, Eastcoast club genres, bass music, flow artists, sex workers, healers, shamans, priestesses and indigenous matriarchs.

Affiliations/Residencies/Projects: I am the founder of my collective, Neptune7, which currently is a rave series that prioritizes showcasing QTIBIPOC artists who share a mutual affinity for DnB club genres such as : Jungle, Dub, UKG, breakbeat and Footwork in Vancouver,BC. Currently, I am in the process of launching my monthly radio show / record label, Neptune7 Records in the fall at Bside Radio which can be streamed on Twitch. 

My earnest intention with this project, Neptune7, is to create innovative events which blend rave culture with holistic medicine. (I’m currently in college studying Acupuncture & Traditional Chinese Medicine with the goal of becoming a registered acupuncturist) In my free time I am learning how to use various flow arts props and learning the art of fire performance. My studies and hobbies have played a tremendous role in driving my passion to creating artistic spaces which incorporate holistic modalities of healing with movement, dance and rave culture as these spaces are all sites of catharsis and wellness.

With this mix Nalule asks to please learn more about and consider donating to:
❁ Ugandan LGBTQ Emergency Fund 
https://www.gofundme.com/f/euganda-lgbtq-emergency-fund

In March 2023, Ugandan MP's passed a bill imposing the death penalty for homosexuality. In the run up to the bill's passing, a new wave of anti-gay animus had taken hold. In February, alone more than 110 LGBTQ Ugandans reported incidents including arrests, sexual violence, evictions and public undressing to advocacy group SMUG. The bill further puts LGBTQ people at risk by threatening landlords with imprisonment. 

This fundraiser is run by a group of LGBTQ Ugandans and UK allies from the arts, electronic music and activist community who are rallying to directly support at-risk individuals.  The fund acquired will go directly to those affected, paying for costs such as
- Bail for LGBTQ people inprisoned 
- Relocating to a safer area
- Emergency accommodation costs
- Legal and medical fees 
- Visa and transportation costs for those leaving the country 

❁ Kílala Lelum (Urban Indigenous Health and Healing Cooperative) is a health center borne out a desire to partner Indigenous Elders with group an experience group of inner-city physicians, nurses and allied health professionals to go beyond the traditional clinical care by providing physical, mental, emotional and spiritual care to Indigenous  communities within Vancouver's Downtown Eastside. Kílala Lelum is based on a holistic and culturally-based health center which provides dignified care which is Indigenous-focused and Elder-led and trauma-informed.

o•rbyss aims to help soothe the queer spectrum and focus on the well-being of the community. Queer DJs are invited to submit a mix to showcase an alternative side to their music library outside of a rave and take us on a meditative journey. ✨

Notes on the mix:

"For this mix, I wanted to use some of the downtempo and ambient tunes that I love and usually don’t get to play out. Like most people, I use downtempo music to focus; for work, reading or relaxation, so I wanted to put something together that moves through different energies and textures and showcases some of the lighter music that I like. Did I also mix PLO Man into Madonna? Yes, yes I did 💅🏼"

Sourcing influences from 90s Tech, house, trance and breaks Aiden Francis' pure passion for underground electronic music radiates through his music and DJ sets. Effortlessly drifting between different sounds and aesthetics, Aiden has managed to break himself free from the constraints of genre so that his true creative prowess can be flexed in full. 

The lack of constraint overflows into Aiden's DJ sets, providing highly energetic experiences that flows through a unity of sounds, cultures and voices. This varied approach to DJing has found Aiden's name appear on high-quality events across the UK and Europe.

Golden hour couldn't come soon enough for HATT.D, presenting his new EP on Belgian label Flipsight.

Our sun-soaked journey along the lakeside begins with the title track, 'Hold Me' . An unexpected vocal flip that transforms a forgotten sample into a soulful plea. Next up, 'DANCE' delivers a mellow yet club-ready groove, driven by sharp vocal chops and Dave's signature bass- forward rhythm.

On the B-side, 'Check This Shhh Out' fires things up with no-nonsense energy: snappy hi-hats, heavy kicks and pure peak-time attitude.

Closing the ensemble is 'Connection', an ode to the deep, often elusive feeling of true human connectivity.
