Heaven in Defiance of the Void | Alex DL | November 2023

In this show, I will explore the connection across global Black diasporic rhythms from dancehall, to reggaeton, dembow, amapiano, afrobeats, baile funk, hip hop, club music, and more. I plan to also interview guests (if possible) and create unique sets spotlighting the origins and fusion across these genres.

Guest DJ: Mamicana (CHI/NYC)

Mamicana is an eclectic artist who centers the Black diaspora and the Caribbean in her sounds. You can expect to sweat from dancing during her sets. Her sound is wide-ranging, crossing borders while remaining rooted in her Black Caribbean, South Side Chicago, Mexican identity. She created her own party "Gyrate" in April 2021 in response to a void of Black women headlining shows in Chicago's nightlife scene. It's been a monthly recurring party ever since. The party incorporates dancers and visuals to provide a unique experience and demonstrate Mamicana's vision in aligning music with culture and community.

The supremely talented DJ Plead launches us into a mind warping world of percussive pleasures and dexterous genre bending, with his trademark agile club rhythms and pacy low end palpitations on full display in episode 303!

@1djplead

Q. What inspiration did you draw upon when planning this mix, and what type of listening environment could you imagine it being easily enjoyed in? 

A. I actually looked through my rekordbox history from a recent Animalia night I played in Naarm and drew some inspiration from that. When listening back to the mix I can imagine it being played for a semi-casual game of Futsal or something like that. I feel like there are some light-footed tracks in there that would be useful to some nimble futsal players. 

Q. Are there any songs in the mix that are especially close to your heart, and what is it about these cuts that resonate with you so much?

A. Mata by Nidia & Valentina

It's taken off  a truly sublime Album that I draw lots of inspiration from. It's simultaneously organic and loose and club-playable, which is a tough one to get right. It's something I’m constantly trying to achieve but they seem to have done it effortlessly. 

Dotted by Cliques

I actually tried to google to see if I’ve ever put this tune in another guest mix before. I probably have, so I’ll apologise for that now. Cliques has always had a big influence on me since I started producing music. They’ve since stopped producing themselves which is a shame but I always play their old tunes out if I can. RIP Cliques..

Q. One of the things I’ve been fascinated with in your DJ sets (the Sustain-Release set for example) is your mixing of polyrhythms to seamlessly bridge tempos throughout a set. How did you first get inspired to experiment with this style and what are some of otherwise conflicting genres/sounds that have blended nicely?

A. My DJing style is at times an extension of my music production. I think this might be a good example of that. The sustain release transition from 150 to 100 is using a tune that I produced years ago in a 3/4 time signature. I’ve produced a few tunes over the past few years that are able to do that. It just allows me at times to bounce around to different worlds and stops me from feeling stuck in a tempo-range. I haven’t done it so much recently but I’d like to get back into doing it. It can create a really strange feeling for the audience. At Sustain-Release, a lot of the audience were on hallucinogens so it felt appropriate to get trippy in that way. It's harder to pull off in a nightclub environment.

I’m no longer sure what the original inspiration for experimenting with this style was. Playing a lot of tunes that have a polyrhythm in them can often make you feel like you have the option to dance at two different tempos.
