Mixes

a bit uneasy

The second entry in a series of living documents of momentum

Manifested live at Nowadays in New York City from 3am-6am the morning of June 27 2022

Euphoric kinetic connection embraces disorder inside the void, as we smile & dance toward anamnesis together

Destroy what destroys you

Natural's the way you should love
Feel the joy, elevate
It's the way we sway, riding waves eternally
Elevating me, through sky and sea
It's the calming breeze, whispering through the trees
Feel it push you, releasing love from every view
It's the way we sway in elemental harmony
Serenading me
Move so naturally
The moon, the stars
The sky & the sea
Why don't you follow me?
To a place
Where we can be free again
Natural, where I want to be

Thanks to Nowadays staff & everyone who danced & did their thing! This was a special moment in time & has brought me a lot of joy to listen back to since then. I hope it can do the same for any of you who listen.

ENCAPSULATED JOY 002: LIVE @ NOWADAYS PRIDE NONSTOP 6/26/22

"Stranded, not in space, but far below the surface of an otherworldly ocean. Breathing does not seem to be an issue here. Water, or a liquid that resembles it, surrounds you. Glimmers of light from unknown sources dance around the environment, allowing for just enough visibility to make out the landscape. A place where the lines between synthetic and organic appear to be blurred, where life slinks and flows like the domain it inhabits. The space around you seems to breathe with every step as you fumble in the dim light. Impossible to know friend from foe, bizarre lifeforms curiously approach, un-afraid, as they have no reason to believe there is any threat present. The existence of shapes, colors, and behaviors beyond conventional understanding piques your curiosity and fear. With no knowledge of how this place came to be or how to survive in it, you set off into the vastness that surrounds you."

“I’ve been having a ton of fun exploring the 90-100 bpm range as I haven’t historically branched into that realm. I thought that a lot of the music I was enjoying at that tempo fit the concept of the mix series, so I wanted to see what I could do with it. It was a fun challenge using tracks I wouldn’t typically play out on a dance floor. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed making it.”

I’m a dj, producer, and event organizer from Washington D.C. I find it very difficult to stick to a single style or tempo and I try to reflect that in all the work that I do. I’m incredibly lucky to be surrounded by so many talented, caring people that make up the dance music scene in D.C. and I find inspiration in that daily. In 10 years, I want to look back and know that I positively contributed to and deeply impacted the community that gave me chances to play music for them.

JADALAREIGN @ The Lot Radio 10-16-2025

Lately I've been drawn to music that connects as deeply with me in a solitary setting as it does over a club speaker system. I’ve been spending a lot of time outside this week listening to this recording of my opening set from the most recent Flower Factory party and wanted to share <3

Tracklist

DJ Kel & babypufff | The Nod's beatitudinous chillout | 10-23-25

"Combining sounds that wouldn't normally be thought of together." So reads the final line of Mexican DJ and producer 1OO1O's short-but-sweet artist bio. It's a claim many make but few pull off. Are truly new fusions still even possible in 2025? Hasn't electronic music reached saturation point? Not in the hands of 1OO1O, AKA uno cero cero uno cero, or one O O one O. 

For the best part of a decade, the Xalapa-born artist has been mashing up footwork, jungle, techno, electro, UK garage and breaks with Latin America's myriad folkloric styles, from salsa and merengue to mambo and dembow. The results, like 2023's SALSA & BREAX, or last year's SALÓN CANDELA, feel electrifyingly fresh, connecting threads across eras and traditions with a subtle dexterity. The secret is a deep respect for the source material.

Indeed, foregrounding the best of Latin America—and specifically Mexico—is the dominant theme on RA.1010 (do you like what we did there?). By his own admission, 1OO1O switched up his DJing a couple years ago to prioritise music made locally or regionally by himself and his friends. At a time when Latin American culture is both at its peak and yet still constantly "reshaping itself to accommodate tourists and 'expats,'" his sets in clubs, festivals and radio stations around the world are his way of spreading the gospel.

This 70-minute mix, then, is heavy on both Mexican talent—Regal86, DNZA, AAAA, Loris, FRAN G—and unreleased 1OO1O tracks. It's tough, rhythmic and strikingly modern, with just the right balance of light and intensity. Given the glut of local music, a late cameo from London grime MC Trim glistens like an emerald in the sun. If you want to know what the cool kids are raving to in Monterrey, Guadalajara and Mexico City right now, here's your answer. - Carlos Hawthorn

RA.1010 1OO1O

The phase shift from No Way Back’s nocturne rave acrobatics to Lot Mass’ sunkissed daytime salon is always a sight to behold: an eclectic mixture of smoked out ravers emerging from the depths of Tangent Gallery, freshly showered music heads taking in the Memorial Day sun, & multi-generational dancers defying category or definition, the day feels infinite, & the musical possibilities especially so, bookending the weekend’s mayhem. This year, Johnny Zoloft and Kiernan Laveaux took the post-Scott Z morning baton pass into further realms of house music in the beyond, equipped with nothing but two turntables, Alpha Theta Club Standard DJ Gear, & a surprise special guest: Baltimore saxophonist (and Johnny Zoloft’s brother) Shane Kelly, blowing raucous textures over abyssal blends under the midday sun, as they beckoned dancers towards their final day of Detroit Electronic Music Celebrations. 

Reinvigorating the floor & painting with bold brushstrokes on a kinetic eisel, Laveaux’s xenofeminist inclinations and the duo’s expert dubwise FX manipulation enticed the crowd and provided succulent ear candy throughout the set. Further entrancing dancers into endless movement after No Way Back’s 12 hour marathon in the mind palace, they brought forth a unique vision of so-called Midwest dance music - conjuring soundscapes as informed by the expanses of Detroit’s storied history & multi-lane highways as it is by the DMV’s intersection of funk stylistics, punk attitude, & Sing Sing breakbeats, the expansive mountain ranges & hidden wonders of Appalachia, & northeast Ohio’s irreverent sonic dialectics birthed from the backdrop of industry & decay. All of these combine to form something greater than the sum of it’s parts - an audio cauldron of what makes the midwest so rife with electrified mojo, brought to you by simply another bold presentation of groove, energy, & harmonious cacophony on a special Memorial day afternoon.
