DJ Mixes

Ashland Mines, AKA Total Freedom, AKA Big Gay Idiot DJ, AKA Bobby Beethoven, is one of the best and most influential DJs of the 21st century. Starting out at pioneering parties like Mustache Mondays and Wildness (which he cofounded with Wu Tsang)—and a regular at GHE20G0TH1K—Mines helped to define the style that would become known, however cringe-inducingly, as experimental club or deconstructed club, directly inspiring fellow visionaries like Arca. 

Like some of the best DJs before him, Mines uses the CDJs as an instrument, but that doesn't mean just fancy tricks and looping. Instead, he artfully throws together clashing sounds—effects, samples, monologues, pop and R&B acapellas, and beats that run the gamut from dancehall to kuduro to breaks and techno. He's not afraid of the grotesquerie of human life and movement (just check out the monologue at the beginning of this mix), and he likes to push buttons. Once he put on a party where dancing wasn't allowed. Some of his sets are intentionally anxiety-inducing, evoking horror movies and modern classical composers like Penderecki, while others are bouncy and ebullient, weaving between genres and tempos like an old-school platformer. The best are both.

On Mines's RA Podcast—a milestone 900th in the series—he shows off this inimitable style, sharpened and reinforced over a decade-and-a-half of playing some of the world's best parties, fashion shows, you name it. He's the kind of DJ who creates his own music as he goes along. He makes you hear old tracks—especially pop music and R&B—in a whole new way. Titled "Cursed Piercing," this is a near-hour of controlled chaos that'll confound you at one moment and deeply move you the next.

RA.900 Bobby Beethoven (FKA Total Freedom)

Xemseya label boss Sky Vemanei announces the first of three contributions to Berlin's ABCDLFG mix series with "Smiles From The Sunken Place", an hour of catharsis from the harder edges of industrial techno.

In their own words: 

"Its been a while since I made a mix of only one genre. Which genre feels the most honest right now? Techno concerned with the issues of the future. My music is getting angrier, as fascism grows more inescapable. How will you turn your own anger into agitation, education, or organization?"

You may have noticed I've been sharing more traditional music lately. I will now channel this energy under an alias I haven't used since my Chicago days in 2011 -- Airiswyn. Thank you for allowing me to reintroduce it here on this profile. 

More vogue is on the way, now that I remember who the fuck I am.

Sirens From A Quieter Place (Sept 2024)

In view of his latest EP, Frolic, Bristol-based producer and visual artist Mun Sing creates an exclusive mix that bridges euphoric club sonics with the ‘more sad emo stuff’ 

Dazed Mix: Mun Sing

A course correction, or course affirmation? The message in this mix is one of pain into purpose in the face of genocide, a refusal to give in to despair, and a redirection towards decolonial joy with the dancefloor as a tool. Stay the course.

I continue to embrace my shapeshifting sonic profile as a DJ and producer in 2025, choosing to own my multitudes instead of apologizing for them. Only then can I make myself useful in the efforts against empire. What kind of agitation, education, and organization is your own artistry inspiring?

WWYS [BOOTLEG]

Class consciousness returns to club culture. Better late than never. On which side of the line do you stand now? Berghain, Boiler Room, HOR, most of your favorite festivals......How much longer can you "dance away" complicity until the blood dripping off your hands soaks through your shoes? Asking for a martyr. Asking for a murderer.
