“What do you do when your world starts to fall apart? I go for a walk, and if I’m really lucky, I find mushrooms. Mushrooms pull me back into my senses, not just -like flowers- through their riotous colors and smells but because they pop up unexpectedly, reminding me of the good fortune of just happening to be there. Then I know that there are still pleasures amidst the terrors of indeterminacy. (…)”

From Nick: I put together this mix for @simmerdown with the hope that it captures some of the same feelings that come with bathing and heat—spacious, grounding, and sometimes slightly otherworldly. This meandering flow of tracks drifts between feelings of lightness while occasionally submerging into some deeper, murkier passages. I wanted to include a few points of tension to echo that alert, almost disorienting state when your body hits peak temperature in the sauna. Some tracks dissolve softly into the next, while others stretch and blend into longer sonic stories. Intended to take you on a wandering, dreamlike journey meant to open up the more contemplative corners of the mind.

Nick crafts an enigmatic dance floor experience, guiding listeners through a captivating journey that seamlessly weaves genres and ventures into unexpected sonic realms. His unconventional blending of experimental and left-field genres lends an intriguing, almost mysterious quality to his unique and esoteric sound. From the pulsating dance floors of San Francisco to venues worldwide, Nick's music demands attention, leaving an indelible impression that lingers in the shadows of the mind.

@jeffreysfire 
This Smoke mix is by no one other then Jeffrey Sfire an household name in the elecontronic music- and queerscene. Originally from suburban Detroit. Behind and in front of the scene pushing sounds and providing platforms. 

As a producer he had a lot of projects: Sfire (with SOPHIE), Looky Looky, and Pushing Movies with releases on labels such as Dark Entries, Cocktail D’Amore Music and Ultramajic. 

With this Smoke mix Jeffrey evokes a timeless contrast between melancholy, heartache, loving and hopeful at the same time. It might be the balance of life or it suits the feeling of the nearing end of summer which is just as finitely as good and bad times. 
 
Thanks for this beautiful journey Jeffrey<3

JD Twich is one half of Optimo, the legendary Glasgow party and a label. Some time ago he launched a new imprint called Against Fascism Trax, attempt to “provoke dialogue that is fundamentally anti-racist, anti-sexist, non-homophobic, non transphobic, non-ageist and non-ableist”. This podcast is a two-hour segment of this set at Hotel Forum's Kitchen from Unsound 2019. Before the performance, JD Twitch said of his Unsound set: “This will be the first ever presentation of an Against Fascism Trax DJ set, an experiment in whether music can convey an intent non verbally.” Starting the set and threaded throughout is the Italian protest song "Bella ciao", which originated in the late 19th century as a working-class anthem and was adopted as a hymn of the anti-fascist resistance in the 1940s. The song takes on new meaning in the current pandemic, as the need for new forms of solidarity — with health workers, cleaners and sanitation workers, impoverished people and all manner of vulnerable populations — becomes urgently clear.
