Advice for the DJs, producers and artists of our community: No one wakes up and can just DJ. You have to push through being sh*t to get to the wins. That's okay though, just keep going. Every time you do a good mix it will push you that step further and it REALLY is WORTH IT!
Be authentic. Set your intentions. Music is a powerful tool and should be honoured in that respect. Showing up when you can is important but don't self sacrifice and take care of yourself.

Daisychain 287 - DJ NORTHERN

When DJs and producers @eris-drew and @octoocta first met, they felt an instant connection that has only grown over the years. Kindred spirits in both music and life, the pair released their first split EP entitled Devotion in 2018, sharing the same artistic values that make their music deeply moving in all senses of the word. Their DJ sets, meanwhile, light up the dancefloor — their back to backs can be as bombastic and high-energy as they are personal and emotive, speaking to a healing force that seems to drive all of their work. 

In this episode, we discuss their b2bs, their joint tour and label, @T4TLUVNRG, and their collaborative project Alchemical Sisters — the latest addition to a cosmic world in full colour.

@boredlord's ecstatic broken beats will have you grinning through your bass face

"This mix is a snapshot into my DJ sets lately as I’ve been on the road. I always love blending both American and UK styles, the house with the hardcore, the club with the UKG. It’s what I think best represents my taste as both a DJ and producer. I threw in both recent tracks from myself or my friends and also some older classic tunes from my crates. My hope is that you can hear my love for the dancefloor inside the one-hour span - it’s meant as a medium of love for the craft."

MoMA Ready - Wildeburg Festival 2023

@surusinghe is one of many exciting Naarm/Melbourne artists to have broken through in the last couple of years. She has been working behind the scenes in the industry for a decade but only started to release her own music in 2022. Now based in London where she has co-founded the Phenomena label, she has an international mix of influences that make her club-ready sounds utterly thrilling. They all draw on the fact that she is a clubber first and foremost, and one proud of her Sri Lankan heritage. 

She goes big over the course of an hour for us this week and threads together plenty of body-popping rhythms from dembow to techno to wobbly London dubstep. She drops in several of her own tunes, one of which is unreleased, as are two others from Doctor Jeep and Tom Kami. It's a fresh and futuristic workout of high-octane sound from an adventurous DJ who always brings the party in fresh new ways.
