Imagined Surroundings with Giorja + laurenzo_g :: Part 2 ~06~

Hip Waders

Does Yo Mama Know

To celebrate two months since dayglow 01 we're releasing friends Giorja and Laurenzo G’s nearly 3 hour, blissful early evening set (on 3 decks!)

Transporting us from whale call to deep ambient wafters and experimental acoustic cuts, the mix is too far-reaching a journey to be summarised concisely - there’s even a bit of house towards the end 😜

Thingy Cafe's sun-speckled, leafy garden made for the perfect environment to contemplate to the music, although it’s a mix to be listened to anywhere and anytime you find yourself craving calm.

Big ups to Justin, who let us know that the whales were the humpback kind.

‘The Ball EP’ pays tribute to the vibrant Ball Culture of 1980s New York City and the communities that shaped it.

While Ball Culture was captured on film during the 1980s, many of its participants went unrecognised, despite their lasting impact on culture and identity. 

For this reason, the artists involved in this project will also remain unnamed and uncredited, allowing the focus to remain on the individuals, culture, and communities honoured in the source material.

All proceeds from this release will support the following causes:

The Terrence Higgins Trust, which raises awareness about HIV and promotes better sexual health. More information is available at tht.org.uk.

Scholarships to help individuals, who may not otherwise have the means, to participate in Voguing classes at Rainbow Nation, an LGBTQIA+ dance academy based in London. Learn more at rainbownationdance.com.

The Carry Nation Show with Panty Soaker Sound System @ The Lot Radio 03-06-2025

For RA.1000, DJ Sprinkles' first mix in over a decade is a powerful meditation on the genocide in Gaza.

Dance music often relies on simple narratives: release, escape, unity. But those narratives can often feel inadequate, and even at times, hollow. Or, as Terre Thaemlitz might bluntly put it, just "shitty."

For her first mix in around 15 years, Terre Thaemlitz AKA DJ Sprinkles, challenges us to think differently. "I felt this 1000th podcast should reflect the moment in which it was made," she told us in her Q&A.

And what is this moment? Every day since Israel's 2023 assault on Gaza began, an average of 28 children have been killed. That's an entire classroom, every day, for over 600 days (at the time of writing). It's a staggering figure that only captures a fragment of the listless cruelty imposed on the strip.

Faced with such a genocide, what can music really do? How political can it truly be?  For their RA.1000, Thaemlitz gives us an unflinching rebuke to the idea that music should provide escapism. The mix weaves ambient fragments and jazz passages, woven around samples from Israeli media and the voices of outspoken Jewish critics like Gabor Maté and Norman Finkelstein. 

The result is not just a protest, but a document of our time. For Terre Thaemlitz, music is never just music. Her RA.1000 serves as a reminder that in an age of relentless suffering, the most political act is to reject the illusion of escape, and search for something greater.
