Wulfcast 087 - Contessa

On Tuesday 17 August I was round at one of my friend's places for a catch up. It just so happened that on that particular evening it was announced NZ was going into another level 4 lockdown. I was feeling stressed and anxious as all get out, so I put myself in his studio to play some tunes to calm myself down. All I knew is that I wanted to play what I would play to a 2am floor. And this mix is the result, it's what a basement club would wear. 

On that very same day a beloved member of Wellington's dance scene and someone I had been dancing with and have loved since 1996 left us. I didn't know it at the time I was playing, but I feel like I channelled our beautiful Nick  as I danced during that jam session, ciggie in hand and all. 

Yesterday I wrote a piece about what it was like for me as a woman starting to DJ in the NZ scene 15 years ago. It wasn't easy but I had amazing support from very special humans and I am glad I spoke up so that maybe what I went through doesn't have to happen again.

So with all this in mind, with my thoughts harking back to 90s and early 2000s dancefloors, memories surfacing of humans who have come and gone (and some are still by my side to this day) and the knowledge of my musical dreams being an actual reality that I am so blessed to live, I decided to call this mix Foundations.

Thank you to Cooper for letting me unleash in his studio, James Jackson for yet another epic master, Vicki Watson for the photo, all my humans for being amazing, endlessly inspiring me and caring for me, and Nick Ryan, you wonderful and beautiful soul. Rest in peace and I know we will be on a dancefloor together again.

Be kind to one another and never stop dancing. 

Love,
Heylady. xx

The Black Coffee afterparty was one for the books. For this set, I had my good friend James Medina playing live drums with me in this set and loved the new layers of percussion who brought into the mix. I had some hesitations about posting this mix as there were some feedback issues from the mic'ed drums that made they're way into the recording. After giving it a re-listen, I decided to embrace the imperfections of the recording and put it out anyway! 

Grateful to all who got to come out (for my birthday) and dance all around us in what was very likely one of the best looking zodiac productions we ever put together!

This year I was honoured to once again be asked to overrun the incredible Lucky Star on Sunday afternoon at Splore. It's a magic time of the weekend to play, the sun was shining and one of my favourite humans, Dim Shady, played before me. For this set I asked another amazing soul, Miss B, to join me for the latter part of it for a bit of a back to back jam. She jumps on at around the hour and a half mark and it's 2 for 2 from there on out. 

Thank you to the Lucky Star Crew, especially Mels, Jonas and Fred, you guys are the heart of Splore and your hard work and determination is an inspiration! A massive thank you to my amazing Alley crew, the dancers, the lovers and the dreamers. Till next year. x

3 QUESTIONS to NAKADIA:

Q: Going through your mix shows a lot of roots. How would you describe your early days? How did you get in touch with electronic music once?

A: I think my development as artist was different from most others. Most people fall in love with Electronic Music during a clubnight. That was the same for me, but I only had one night and it all stopped after that. One night in Germany in May 2002 changed my life and after I returned to Thailand there was no more Electronic Music. No record shops, no DJ friends, nobody that could inspire me, no online sets yet - I was on my own. This was the hard part. How could I develop without inspiration? I fell in love with Electronic Music on that first night, but I had no idea how many genres and sub-styles Electronic Music had. I took me 6 years and thousands of euros in records I bought wrong and that I would never play, until I finally found my style. During these years I would order vinyl online and have them sent to an address in Germany. Twice a year I would return to Europe for a tour and pick up the records - most of them where terrible and only some I could use. I always tried to play Techno, but the clubs that booked me didn’t like it, so I had to start easy for them - mostly funky - and build my way up to bring people to Techno. It was 2008 when I finally cut off all the “uncool" bookings and only accepted gigs where I could play my sound. For my “How I Met The Bass” set I went through my vinyl of the first years and found some records that I loved playing between 2003 and 2006.

Q: During Corona you spent your time at home in Berlin. What did you do since the lockdown and how bright do you look into the future?

A: For me it was a great time to finally be at home for a while. I was never really home in Berlin for the past 18 years and now I had time to work in the studio and learn more about my equipment. I also did a lot of live streams and learned german. I look into a great future and I believe we will have better parties once this is all over. People will hopefully appreciate parties more and I have gained thousands of new fans with my live streams, so I can’t wait to be back on tour. This health crisis made me more healthy than ever! I finally could sleep normal sleeping hours and didn’t drink any alcohol for 14 weeks. I am now fit for the next 18 years!

Q: Which projects are you currently working on and what can we expect from you soon?

A: I have many releases ready to go out now. There will be EPs and remixes coming on a regular basis on labels like Set About, Codex and Kraftek. And I hope to be back on tour again from August. Things are looking quite good right now, so let’s hope the virus will continue to disappear everywhere. It’s about time to get back to our lives again.
