1 . The ratio of songs with vocals is much higher than the ones without, what is your relationship to words, singing and/or human made sounds when you approach a set?

Anyone that’s ever heard me play knows I’m a really big fan of vocals. The main thing that gets me about vocal trax is the meaning; I often play songs that reflect how I feel, or that express something that resonates with me.
It’s rare for me to find a vocal track that I don’t like, but it does happen. In that case I play the instrumental/dub and mix it with another vocal track instead.
 
2. We recognise some songs where samples have been taken from, I am thinking of Juicy from Notorious in particular - are you an avid digger of sample based songs?

Haha, definitely. Growing up on 90s hip hop in the early 2000’s and 2010’s I was schooled by many NY producers who would flip soul, funk, jazz samples left and right. At some point I started to recognize samples and was mindblown when I realized the favourite section of a hip hop track was actually a full song. One of the first records I ever bought was indeed “DeBarge – All This Love '' which was sampled on trax by Biggie, The Wu Tang Clan and AZ.
 
3. Coming back to the current situation, how has the last year been treating you in terms of musical approach?

Since I stopped gigging, I realised there was no big need to keep digging through dance music, and I spent quite a bit of time cleaning out my collection and digging through listening music I was familiar with but didn’t yet own.
 
This led to me falling into a rabbit hole of soul, jazz, funk, latin, soundtrack, reggae, hip hop and so much more. I still actively mixed dance music on a regular basis, but my sets tended to revolve around disco, jazz-funk, electro/electro funk and proto house.

Blissed out two hour ride running through modern soul, boogie, disco, house and beyond, both known and unknown. As long time listeners of DJ Luv You's all kinds of joy and Luna radio sessions, the latter now a great mix series. A big tip to check both!

1800 triiip - DJ Luv You - Mix 034

Of all the quintessentially human forces, the voice is one of the most fascinating. From the meanings it can convey to the feelings it is able to conjure, the reach of its powers seem unfathomable. They allow us to communicate and stimulate, to create and articulate. And when we witness its might in music, how powerful it truly is becomes glaringly evident. Vocalisations are our own way to express things that couldn’t possibly be rendered in any other medium and sounds that couldn’t be reproduced by any other instrument. We call and respond, we spook and spell, we sing through life to make it better or just bearable. Thus, when this fabulous new addition to our series arrived, it was refreshing to realise that they were front and centre among the many exquisite elements that make it so vibrant and alluring. What we have here is basically much akin to what our guest does at her Fandango headquarters, one of Berlin’s most celebrated spaces where music lovers find a cosy place to enjoy their objects of affection and obsession. Tania Just’s mix takes us for a wonderful journey across the globe that is masterfully driven by an eclectic selection of rhythms from all over, but mainly guided by this uniquely human artistic resource.

A one take mix on a boiling Melb day. Not the most seamless but was fun to just dance around and select on the fly. Best listened to with a cocktail or tall drink in hand by a large body of water xo

Stellar Vox" fusiona un hard techno galáctico con un bass profundo que resuena como el eco de un agujero negro, mientras una voz etérea, entonando una melodía interestelar, se entrelaza con un piano cósmico que evoca la maravilla de explorar el universo. DJ Elyon, un artista que experimenta con la síntesis de voces y paisajes sonoros futuristas, crea esta pista como un himno a la conexión entre la tecnología y las estrellas.
