Simisea Mixes

Juanita's mix 51 with Simisea @simisea

Q. How would you describe yourself?
A. Sugar, spice, and everything nice.

Q. How long have you been a part of the NYC music scene?
A. I’ve been a part of it for as long as I’ve lived here, which is 10 years now. Before that I was working in nightclubs & for promoters in Miami, my hometown, before I moved to NYC to go to music school. The music communities I’ve been a part of here have been my life & family for the past decade. I don’t really know that I can do anything else but work in music. I’ve had a few different music jobs throughout the last decade, but currently I work at the record label RVNG Intl. which has been my musical home for the last 6 years. There I project manage records and manage artists. I also run my own label with Tristan Arp called Human Pitch, and run another label and party series with my pals Enayet, K Wata and rrao called SLINK.

Q. Tell us a little bit about this mix.
A. This mix is my love letter to summer, my favorite season. Just as I was about to begin pulling tracks, I came across a beautiful book called Summer Solstice by Nina MacLaughlin. It’s a heartwarming essay exploring the meaning of summer in our lives. A perfect and inspirational coincidence that this book and I would find each other for this mix.

In this mix is a full summer day and all of its possibilities….Waking up to a balmy summer morning, sun bouncing off leaves from vines desperately trying to crawl through your apartment window. A cold shower to rinse off the dewy night’s sweat. It’s hot out. A stroll outside, thick humidity filling your lungs. A car ride to the beach with friends, windows down. Nothing beats a summer ride to the ocean; the perfect amount of time to listen to a mix. A BBQ in the park; a loud PA system blaring summer’s ecstatic joy. Sunset…an endless pastel New York sky that stops everyone in their tracks, no matter how many summer days they’ve seen come to a close. You feel cute, you’re kissing your newly blossomed summer crush. Is this the best day ever? Is this summer better than the last? An evening out with friends. What’s the move? Too many. You're unstoppable. Stumbling into bed, full moon so bright your cheap window shades don’t do shit; but it’s ok, you lay there and reminisce on a beautiful summer Saturday. “I have so many more left”….You wake up abruptly the next morning to a knock at the door. Fall is here.

Bored Lord - saying it could even make it happen

They say that you need to understand the rules before you can break them. If that's true, @toma-kami is a true sage of rhythm. The Paris-based artist and Man Band label boss defies convention each time he drops a new 12" or one of his famously physical DJ mixes. He bends and toys with drums and bass, twisting and turning them through the worlds of house, techno, breaks, juke and club to come up with something thrillingly fresh and hard to define.

Toma will join us at Dekmantel Selectors in August, but before that comes this week's mix. It is a masterfully controlled but edge-of-your-seat ride through all those sounds and more. At times they are piled up on top of each other to the point of collapse, at others they are teased apart and drawn out to hypnotic effect. These are supple but muscular and physical sounds that make you want to bend every bone in your body in pure appreciation of Kami's unique rhythmic gymnastics.

Advice for the DJs, producers and artists of our community:
i feel silly offering advice since i am still really new to DJing, lol. but! one thing i try to use as a guide for myself in all parts of life, and specifically in exploring music and DJing, is taking comfort in the fact that i will never know everything and understanding that there is always something to learn somewhere else or from someone else. thinking of myself as a student keeps me infinitely more

Juanita's Mix 082 with 8ULENTINA @8ULENTINA

Q. How would you describe yourself?
Big chill interdisciplinary brain

Q. How long have you been a part of the NY music scene?
I moved here in July 2021, so about a year and a half.

Q. Tell us a little bit about this mix.
This mix reminds me of zoning out and looking out of the window on the bus and other rare moments when transportation feels cinematic / romantic. It starts out slow and ambient and gains energy towards the end.

Melbourne-based DJ Plead is one of the newest members of Nervous Horizon, the label co-founded by TSVI - an Italian artist living in UK. Both artists explore rhythmic traditions from around the world, with a special focus on Lebanese wedding and pop music (Plead) and Sufi practices (TSVI). They played b2b for the first time at Unsound 2019 in Kraków, exploring the breadth of percussive music in front of a tightly packed Kitchen at Hotel Forum. Here's a recording of that set, filled to the brim with some of the freshest tunes in club music right now.

Hoping everyone is staying safe and healthy out there! With our parties on hold for the time being, we’re starting a mix series to shine a light on DJs pushing slinked-out sounds from across the globe. 

Our very own resident Simisea is up first with an hour of nonstop rhythmic motion.

"To inaugurate our SLINK mix series I made a mix exploring what “slink” means to me. Equal parts booty and brain (the way I like it!) the mix explores various tempos, rhythmic patterns, and layers of electronic music from around the world. There are moments of freaked and fried pop mutations, moments of darkness emerging into neon light, and moments I imagined slipping out of my skin on the dancefloor to. It’s my favorite mix I’ve made and emblematic of where my musical interests are at these days. Hope you enjoy <3 SLINK Responsibly" - xoxo, Simisea

SLINK MIX 001 - Simisea

This edition of Bleep’s mix series finds @simisea (Brandon Sánchez) from @igetrvng leading us on a deep dive into both the label’s own releases and music admired by those involved with the acclaimed imprint. As anyone familiar with the RVNG Intl. aesthetic might expect, this is a varied and expansive set of blends - across almost fifty-five minutes here Simisea takes in widescreen spiritual music, outer-edges electronics, dreamy post-jazz, harmonious folk-rock and pretty much everything in-between. The fact that Lucrecia Dalt, Coil, Sugai Ken and The Soft Pink Truth are just a few of the artists to feature should indicate how this mix manages to strike a great balance between compositional ambition and lush sonics. It all makes for a delightful trip. 

"I’ve been wanting to make a non-dance mix for a while. A lot of the music in this mix has comforted me throughout quarantine. It includes tracks that have brought me euphoria, to tears, and all ranges and depths of emotions and states of being, embodying the kind of music I associate with RVNG."
