Favorite Quote: "My experience – our experience – could be your experience. My experience – our experience – could reframe your experience. My experience – our experience – could politicize your experience and could motivate, mobilize you, and us, to action."
– Stacey Holman Jones and Tony E. Adams, "Autoethnography" 

Advice for the DJs, producers and artists of our community: 
Remember your roots - dance floors have always been sites of political change, and we are the next generation! Rave spaces are not inherently radical. While we've made so much progress in breaking down the homogenous wall of cis white dudes in electronic music, the work never stops. As creatives, we each have a duty to balance our own practices with creating space for others. We all have something unique to contribute, but we run the risk of replicating hegemonic dynamics if we don't create equity within our communities. A healthy creative ecosystem requires a lush diversity of experiences and practices. Be kind, be conscientious, and have fun... after all, it's a party.

'Network Event: A Cyberfungal Romance

This transplanetary emission comes to us from a far-away solar system, where a medium-sized moon harbors a cool, damp, lonely atmosphere. Long ago, people lived here. They cultivated the moon’s natural reserves of rare metals, developing intricate technologies, including self-sustaining machines that drew power from the strong winds that blow day and night. Those people died long ago, but their tech – and the artificial intelligence it housed – was resilient. Now, the moon is experiencing a bloom in a particular kind of fungus, which has an undeniable attraction to the disused technologies. These fungal networks creep into the hardware, finding the AI in a state of complete glitch. 


Through a mysterious communion of electrical signals, the fungi begin to talk to the tech. At first it is met with hostility, and perceived as a virus. But as time goes on, the net begins to respond with newfound coherence. The two sides argue, clash, and make up over and over again. The fungi, growing lushly amongst the warm circuit boards, begin to develop empathy for the AI. The AI realizes that, for the first time, it has a companion who can understand its essence – something its creators were never able to do – because both are rhizomatic at heart. They both know that anarchy and chaos are not the same thing. And so, in a tangle of wires and mycelia, the networks thrive as they merge. Harmony balances in equal parts with dissonance. This is a love story.'

Distant Signals 006: DJ Bricks

The first Therapy Dog show of the year on @refugeworldwide is with good friend and favourite radio host @gigstab. Gigsta's radio show and event series Fictions has been very influential for Therapy Dog, and after doing a Fictions show together a few years ago, I'm happy to have Gigsta as my guest for a 1-hour b2b and a little chat.

Juanita's Mix 83 with NAP @napmusick

Q. How would you describe yourself?
A. Colombo-Canadian male, 33 yrs old, 5’11 ft, 170 lbs.

Q. How long have you been a part of the Mexico City music scene?
A. I’ve only been here since last March and feel that I’m just starting to get to know the city in general. The positive energy that I’ve felt from everyone from the techno to the cumbia scenes here is what has made me want to stay and get to know the city and country more. I’ve also been lucky enough to meet people like DJ Guccichotas, Joyce Musicolor, Jasmanic, Irma Ruiseñor and the EXT crew who have all welcomed me into their scenes and shown me so much love and support. 

Q. Tell us a little bit about this mix.
A. This mix was recorded in the 15th floor of Torre Zacatecas in Tlatelolco, Mexico, after having just moved into a new apartment. We had cdjs for the weekend after my roommate had rented them for her birthday so I took a shot at recording something with Juanita's in mind and it was honestly one of the most natural and fun sessions.

FELT avec Perko - 26 Février 2023

𓆢 Squid Inc Risotto 𓆢

2 cups arborio rice
1 small onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 bottle dry white wine
1 pint stock (chicken, fish, or vegetable)
1 zucchini, shredded
½ cup pine nuts, lightly toasted
¼ cup chopped fresh mint
½ cup grated parmesan
Salt & pepper
Olive oil

You will notice that this dish does not contain squid, or its ink. 
Squid Inc does eat meat and fish, in small and intentional quantities, but telling you how to cook and serve our mascot felt callous. Our respect for squids is bound to both feelings of awe and of kinship. 

In the kitchen of a house on a coastline, we cook our favorite risotto, fresh and herbaceous with zucchini and mint. The rhythm of cooking risotto works as self-hypnosis. The churning spoon passed between us; the dowsing and ebbing of wine and hot stock, absorbed by the rising, swelling grains; the loud viscosity of melted cheese, glued to the silver walls of the pot. We’ve created a ritual of making this dish together, and on this night, after recording our mix for Secret Sauce, we prepare it for our friends. While clanging pot lits, chopping vegetables, and refilling our wine cups, we wonder about our kin who drift beneath the waves. We imagine a squid glinting in the dimming filtered light, her body a fleck of iridescence in the indigo abyss. 

Pour a generous coating of olive oil in the bottom of a large pot. 
Fry onions and garlic with salt and pepper. When brown, add rice.
Cook rice in olive oil until it toasts to light brown.
Add alternating pours of wine and stock, stirring continuously. Continue until the rice is soft, about 40 minutes. 
Add the shredded zucchini, continue to stir for 5 more minutes.
Add shredded cheese, fresh mint, and pine nuts, and stir until incorporated. 
Serve generously. 

Love, 
𓆢 Squid Inc 𓆢

Bristol based Noods resident, Junior, trudges us through an hour and a half of what he describes as the fruits of "a years worth of procrastination" that he would have named "Delay and Deliberation" had it not clashed with the title formatting tradition we've established. Dive in.

"This mix was inspired by lazy, lounging days with my friend, Tondiue's creation, Frog and Dog. This is a mix a tribute to that song, and to lethargic and zoner music that encourages basking lizard energy. It recalls the warmth of summertime, green grass touching tanned skin, cold drinks in hot sunshine, and greetings from old friends. Come chill out with me, Selene :) "

I first heard @dj_bricks playing in a cellar-esque space beneath a huge tree: an almost secret stage at an almost secret party. BRICKS is a slice of genuine magic, both on the decks and off them. I could go on and on, really, but instead I'll leave this mix to do (most of) the talking. 

When I set up the guestmix series for PAIJATA I had a kinda specific vision, and each guest has provided me with their own take on that vision (which is what I wanted all along). But, BRICKS' Retrograde Pleasures strikes me right in the spot that triggered the whole journey with PAIJATA in the first place. Mega love for this... enjoy.

DJ BRICKS: Retrograde Pleasures - 9_23_23, 4.22 PM | PAIJATA Guests

Secret Sauce is a mix series to cook and eat to. Curated by music and food lovers alike, these mixes are meant to comfort and excite, just like a delicious meal. 

Secret Sauce is also meant to be a resource for restaurants, who (like DJs) strive to provide a curated and seamless experience. Too often a restaurant meal is accompanied by a haphazard or algorithmically corporatized soundtrack and hopefully this mix series can provide musical options, uplift independent musical artists, and allow for a more unique and satisfying dining experience.
