Juanita's Mix 059 with Lychee @Lycheefrut

Q. How would you describe yourself?
A. Born again dance music enthusiast - I've been trying in the post-lockdown era to refocus on being a dancer and a fan and exposing myself to serendipity and the things that made me fall in love with dance music in the first place. A bigger scene like NYC can make you jaded fast if you don't protect and cultivate those parts of yourself, I think.  

Q. How long have you been a part of the NY music scene?
A. I first started coming to NYC from Boston for more dubstep/bass-oriented events around 2011 - some standouts: Joker, Skream, Benga at Terminal 5; Caspa and Rusko at Webster Hall (lol); acts like Kuedo and Zomby at Glasslands Gallery, an electroclash rave in Chinatown that I have no idea who was DJing or promoting. At that time I wouldn't say I was part of any kind of community here, I usually rode the Chinatown bus or Bolt Bus (RIP) down for a night and took another bus back early in the morning so I wouldn't have to find lodging. 

I think I started finding community here back around 2015 or 2016 at clubs like Bossa and raves like Groovy Groovy where I'd see the same people again and again. Fourth World 2017 was the party that really made me decide I had to live here eventually. I moved to Brooklyn at the beginning of 2018, and in many ways I only really feel like I've begun to find my place here now.

Q. Tell us a little bit about this mix.
A. I had a general idea in mind for this mix that I wanted it to be romantic, but weird. I was thinking about things like friendships with romantic elements; weird sex or cuddling on psychedelics when you're not actually sure if you have a body; unrequited forbidden crushes; flirty dancing around someone for an entire night without needing it to become anything more. I recorded it shortly after the Halloween weekend daytime moment with Todd Edwards playing at Nowadays Nonstop, which I found so fun and romantic with diffused pink lighting that made it feel like the sunrise never ended, so I think that moment influenced this mix as well.

“My latest mix for Deep South takes you into a wormhole of acid, groove, and jazz. Opening with my signature intergalactic minimal sound, it then traverses into heady moods and peak-time energies, before settling back in with the familiar. This mix opens a portal into a dance floor on the other side of the universe, where neo-tribal rhythms rattle through wriggling bodies. Grab a drink with the machine elves and see you on the other side!

Sending lots of gratitude to Vicki Powell and the entire Deep South crew for inviting me to contribute to this iconic mix series.”

More about Chuck:

San Francisco transplant by-way of Los Angeles, Chuck Gunn is a co-founder and resident of QAOTIQ, a queer rave based in California's Bay Area that aims to uplift and champion BIPOC/Trans artists. His fresh and spacey take on house and techno is shaped by the acid, dub and microhouse movements that grew out of 90's minimal techno. Chuck moves through various textures, from rugged terrain, spaced out atmospheres, dub rhythms, all balled up in a bounce & grace that smacks the dance floor again and again, relentless you might say. For many this kind of built pressure can take decades in the DJ booth to develop. Gunn's range and skill can hold down any underground dance floor and it's obvious that we're not the only ones that have taken notice as Chuck plays up and down the West Coast at clubs & festivals alike.

On this full moon in nurturing Cancer, @bezier captures and releases the effervescent force we need to inspire and sustain us in this strange season of annual rebirth. Percussive rhythm and flow capture the structured energy of saturnalian domme Capricorn, while textured breaks hint at Venus' current position in Aquarius – reminding us that rules are made to be tested – everything is cyclical, and yet novelty is a constant calling. Enjoy this gorgeous and energetic start to 2023, hatch plans, and soak up the secure lunar warmth of Cancer, which reminds us of who we are, and where we belong, even in the depths of Winter 🦀 

"I chose to present an energetic mix. Capricorn’s ruler Saturn is the taskmaster. We need a lot of pep and charge to get through the harsh January conditions so we can complete our mission. Saturn is a hard, dominating presence requiring discipline and direction. You need to ask for help from your friends and comfortable familiars to navigate all the obstacles Saturn throws at you. This is where the full moon in Cancer comes in. The full moon during Capricorn is where you need to look for guidance and inspiration to complete all odds and ends before the next new moon. Cancer rules the home, and the environment that nurtures you. A lot of tracks here represent a lot of artists and collectives that have influenced and inspired me over the years as a music producer and DJ. My friends are my family and home. It is an honor to represent them here in this mix."

A little about this mix: I recently played Wrecked in April and my set wasn’t recorded, so I decided to reconstruct some of my favorite moments from the night. Lately I’ve been trying to piece together my love of different genres when I play out: leftfield techno, polyrhythmic sounds, post-dubstep, more classic 4x4 techno and house rhythms, and my love of 80s synthy tracks. It’s not always easy for DJs to express all sides of our musical tastes, and it’s definitely still a work in progress for me. Wrecked felt like a perfect time to experiment more with weaving between many genres. I always try to record mixes in one take, so forgive any minor bumps and bruises along the way in this recording 💖. May is AAPI Heritage month, so this mix is also dedicated to all the other Asian DJs holding it down and doing amazing things around the world. 

 T.Wan is a Brooklyn-based DJ with deep origins in Seattle. Her perceptive ear for trippy techno and bassy, polyrhythmic tracks captivated listeners at Honcho Campout and has since earned her opportunities to play at notable NYC venues like Nowadays, Basement, and Good Room. She has a monthly show on Bristol-based Noods Radio, where she’s been a resident for the past 3 years.
