Études Mix N°65 by DJ Plead @1djplead
IG:@djplead
Curated by Aimée @am-agency

A few words from the artist:
1/ How would you describe your personal connection to music and how it influences your creative process?
My personal connection to music is constantly evolving and occasionally complicated. At times I'll feel so tired by it and at other times I'm addicted to it. My creative process requires me to have some time-off from music. Mainly time off from DJing, actually. When I'm surrounded by lots of functional music designed for night clubs, it's hard for me to truly feel creative and have the energy to make new music. 

2/ As an artist, how do you see the intersection between fashion and music? 
I'd like to be more involved with the intersection of fashion and music! It feels like it would be an exciting estuary. 

3/ What particularly interested you in collaborating with Études to make this mix?
I like Études! I've been a fan since before I was releasing music. I was interested in a particular artist called Colin Snapp and bought his book that Études had published. The Études tumblr was also a very frequent source of inspiration for me. It feels weird and exciting to do something for a brand I've been following for a long time. 

4/ How did you curate this musical sequence/audio journey?
I tried to think about it being autumn going into winter over in europe and chose a few tracks that felt a bit like they were slowing down. I'm currently back in Australia so the opposite seasonal change is occurring, so I still have some slightly more spring-oriented tracks in there. 

5/ Three words to define your mix for Études?
Groovy, Deaky, Sloppy

Joining us for Tapes #122 is Minor Science, the Berlin-based Brit who consistently cuts through the noise and has been making standout tracks for almost a decade.

As a DJ, Minor Science draws on years of experience to craft sets that are controlled in form and bold in content. Having performed at venues as diverse as Panorama Bar and the Bang Face Weekender, the average Minor Science set can do heads-down mindwarp, maximalist rave meltdown, or (often) both. 

Minor Science has presented his Absent Friends live show at events such as Intonal and Maerzmusik. Emotive and absorbing, these performances explore themes of psychedelia and togetherness via improvised performance and deft four-deck mixing.

Influences: Is there a difference between influences and inspirations? They merge together in my head. DMZ, 2008-10ish dubstep, Big Apple Records, Swamp81, UK dance music. Lots of new dubstep and adjacent forward thinking heavy bass sounds being made & promoted by folk like Carré, Beatrice M., Mia Koden, Woozy, Amity, Pressure Dome, Femme Bass Mafia and loads more. Headset club night and label, which consistently promotes incredible Scottish dance music. Shoegaze, 90s grunge, punk & hardcore, my sister’s and my dad’s music tastes, grime, club culture. Underground Solu’shn (Edinburgh’s longest running dance music record shop) and the team there, who furthered my musical education every shift. My colleagues at EHFM, and other insanely talented, forthright, imaginative and driven pals. Club Sylkie, Plant Bass’d. Everybody who does a show on EHFM, or any community radio. Creative development as personal growth, and vice versa. 

Affiliations/Residencies/Projects: I co-run EHFM, Edinburgh’s Community Radio, with a class team of people. We just celebrated 5 years of broadcasting! I also co-run Miss World, a bi-monthly club night at Sneaky Pete’s. 

Favorite Quote: Saor Alba. Free Scotland

Advice for the DJs, producers and artists of our community: Find authentic people who nurture and inspire you. Be gracious for opportunities and help offered, and do the same for others. Don’t be so scared to be shit at something that you don’t try. 

About the mix: 
Some favourite dubstep, breaks & bass tracks old and new, with a wee bit of 4x4 and grime. Been really enjoying the 150 dubstep/half time things coming out recently. I’ve also included some Scottish artists everyone should know about.

Tracklist & interview

Recognise: re:ni

Last year, when we wrote that "the best UK garage is coming out of Los Angeles," we were talking about Introspekt. The US DJ, who has since moved to New York, really understands the genre—its appeal, swing and unique, bassy whomp. Listen to any of her tracks, like last year's "Forlorn," and you'll hear someone who produces like she's been making UKG all her life. This is probably partly because she comes from a dubstep background, but either way, if you're looking for new UK garage beats, Introspekt is one of the best going right now.

Her DJing also hits a distinct sweet spot, zeroing in one of the proto-dubstep, dark UK garage days when producers like El-B were making the hottest shit around. Her sound is both retro and forward-looking, as you'll hear on her RA Podcast, which balances vintage Big Apple cuts from Skream & Benga with new-school tunes from Amaliah and Surusinghe. It's not so much a throwback as it is a rejuvenation of an old sound—a new way to look at it and a new way to make it. If hindsight is 20/20, then Introspekt has perfect vision, and mixes like this are the perfect way to educate listeners, make them move and innovate a little in the process.

DJ and producer Yushh transports us to her formative years with the latest Off-Kilter submission. 

Featuring a collection of reflective tracks from 2008-2012, this collage is an insight into her delicate and emotive sound palette - intricate drum workouts, blissed out dub grooves, dream like vocals and emotive melodies phase through bass driven frequencies. 

Here, she tells a tale of what came before, a story of memory and influence, timeless and honest; it’s quintessentially Yushh in the rawest of forms.

Simon Aussel is known for a particularly wild DJing style and leftfield bassy bangers, and it's his curious and playful approach to clubland that's won him loyal fans over the years. Whether photographing drink tokens from gigs or creating an 8-bit version of his debut album on a Game Boy cartridge, he seems to approach every endeavour with childlike joy and wonder—rare qualities in an industry that can leave so many jaded.

The Nantes-born, Paris-based artist's love of club culture, digging and world-building has set him on a blazing path in club music. He's released an exceptionally wide range of music, including a Memphis rap tape for Trilogy Tapes, dubstep-trap-jazz hybrids with Egyptian singer Abdullah Miniawy and deadly hard drum for Livity Sound. His mixes, meanwhile, are fast becoming DJ lore thanks to his knack for connecting seemingly opposed genres like new wave and fast techno. Look no further than his now-infamous Dekmantel Selectors set from 2021 or a marathon back-to-back with Skee Mask in 2022. 

As the French DJ gets more comfortable with story-telling, he's getting more personal and focusing on deeper, slower sounds. That's evident on this RA Podcast—six months in the works—which incorporates woozy downtempo, weighty dub and bleepy beats. Of course, in the chaotic middle section there's plenty of huge basslines, plus old-school electro, acidic techno and even a bouncy edit of the Montell Jordan classic "This Is How We Do It." Showcasing his quirks, influences and growth, this is Simo Cell in prime time.
