Juanita's Mix 100 with Ciel @ciel_dj

Q. How would you describe yourself?
A. a music maker with too much sincerity and a passion for sampling, film, and leftist politics

Q. What drew you to the music scene in the beginning and where do you hope to see it in the future?
A. Looking back at my life, I think everything from my birth led me on this path towards music. It was my first love. But as an only child, my experience with music growing up was always very solitary. I yearned to be part of a community radio station with Iikeminded music nerds, and it was working for a radio station eventually during my undergraduate that brought me toward DJing and rave culture. Back then I never thought I could do this full time, but once I got the chance to make a living doing this, I realized the scene was far from perfect, in fact it's very exploitative. I hope in the future we can find a way to fairly compensate music makers for the incredible gift of music they bestow upon the world, without becoming beholden to corrupt corporate & military interests. Artists can be hyper individualistic and self-interested, and I hope we can get better at looking out for each other instead of just our own paycheques.

Q. Tell us a little bit about this mix.
A. I wanted to present a different side of myself to international audiences on such a wonderful mix platform. Perhaps people outside of my home city of Toronto are less familiar with my downtempo sets, but it's been a significant part of my wheelhouse for years, and have gained even wider affection from me since I started doing a downtempo party in Toronto last year. Like I always say, 80-100bpm is the most natural tempo for extended human body movements. I also liked the idea of doing a mix that doesn't build in a predictable way, instead it waxes and wanes like the natural rhythm of life. So many of my favourite mixes build and release tension in a way that's very satisfying to listen to, the sounds intensify to a frenzy before disintegrating into nothingness. I wanted to play with that rise and fall and mix downtempo and dub with double time d&b in a non-linear way that is evocative of our most precious memories and tells stories we've only seen in dreams. Downtempo and dub also seemed like the perfect genres to play in the 100th mix for Juanita's, and in the lead up to my fav April holiday. :) I hope the listeners enjoy it.

Our latest SORRYMIX comes via transdisciplinary performance artist, curator, and educator MIRA MIRA (@mirasamira ) 🎶  

Although we only met fairly recently at Honcho Campout, Samira and I are both from the same hometown of Winston-Salem, North Carolina!! Currently based in Brooklyn, she's also spent a good amount of time in the Pittsburgh underground; co-founding collectives like @dyspheric-x alongside XC-17 (@stephanie-alona-helen) and @yessimusic and Uhaul Disco alongside @johnnyzoloft. Her deejaying is a joy to behold - psychedelic intimacy, passionate + personal, sublimely jacked out improvisational genre-soup flow that I just can't get enough of. 

SORRYMIX29 finds her opening up the first party of our 2024 residency at techno living room @bossanovacivicclub in Brooklyn before sets from @mxblaire and myself. There's some words from Samira below on the recording ✨ Make sure to catch Nowadays debut at our label night this Friday alongside Hits Only (@davisgalvin + @aliberger) and myself! - @nickboydnyc

"It was my first time playing at Bossa and I was kinda nervous but also feeling a lot of feelings from the week. I was pulled by cops twice that week, the day before four cops stopped me supposedly for hopping a turnstile, stopped for $2.90... The day of I came in fresh off of a shift at Trans Pecos where I worked a benefit show for Gaza. It featured some powerful performances and a teach-in by DegrowNYC.

Usually, when I'm given opening duties I like to warm things up and keep things a little lighter but I had too much on my heart. I decided that it was more important to speak to what's happening in Gaza, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. I think the mix ended up being a chaotic reflection of what I was feeling. Hopefully it made people reflect with me and wiggle a little bit too."

Truancy Sessions S01 E04: Kuscheln (@kuschelntime)

Locking in with a new episode of our Truancy Sessions series with a mix of hi-energy hypnotics from Toronto-based DJ and tastemaker Kuscheln. An all-round purveyor of playful, thought-provoking dance music, he has become a staple figure in the Toronto underground, with his Klub Ferret parties offering nights of steamy dance-offs and queer revelry to a soundtrack of the hottest house and bubbling bass. His mix for us today is party perfection, rolling through with an infectious palette of  late night mind twisters, soaring grooves and big room breaks. As the curveball-loving fans that we are at Truants too, we've completely lost count of the amount of times we've wheeled up the Spice Girls remix in this mix. An unreal statement of flow and taste over 100 glorious minutes.

We've put the mix as well as a little photo diary and selection of the tracklist up on our wesbite. You can download Truancy Sessions S01 E04: Kuscheln in 320kbps and view the full tracklist on Patreon here (patreon.com/truants). Couple tracks are unreleased Kuscheln tunes.

Jaywalking with Yumi @ The Lot Radio 04-15-2024

Tonights Somersault mix is brought to us by Nick Boyd & boxofbox!
@nickboydnyc @boxofbox @sorry-records

"Durham, NC based “artist/scientist/engineer working on cutting-edge digital signal processing and the fundamental physics of rump-shaking” boxofbox and Sorry Records founder Nick Boyd are two muppet brain music freaks who love each other very much. Despite years of friendship and a number of collaborations from boxofbox’s historic 6 hour SORRYMIX to his appearances at Sorry Records parties at Good Room and Glen Falls House and a wacked out joint appearance on Boo Lean’s Lot Radio show, this recording finds box and Boyd playing together for a dancefloor for the very first time. Recorded live and direct from a particularly sweaty sunday evening Sorry Records party at Bossa Nova Civic Club in Brooklyn, Somersault 297 finds the Statler and Waldorf of the rave underground both opening up and closing down the party with a profound display of just the kind of wonked out genre soup glee that these two revel in. 10+ minute long Shep Pettibone megamixes? ✓ Beatport Florida Breaks?  ✓ Sung Tongs era Animal Collective blended over corrupted hardgroove soulseek mp3s?  ✓ Herbie Hancock????  ✓  ✓  ✓  ✓  ✓

Thank you for listening, we hope you enjoy.

Somersault 297 (boxofbox b2b Nick Boyd) "Open the Boydbox! Close the Boydbox!"

Simon Aussel is known for a particularly wild DJing style and leftfield bassy bangers, and it's his curious and playful approach to clubland that's won him loyal fans over the years. Whether photographing drink tokens from gigs or creating an 8-bit version of his debut album on a Game Boy cartridge, he seems to approach every endeavour with childlike joy and wonder—rare qualities in an industry that can leave so many jaded.

The Nantes-born, Paris-based artist's love of club culture, digging and world-building has set him on a blazing path in club music. He's released an exceptionally wide range of music, including a Memphis rap tape for Trilogy Tapes, dubstep-trap-jazz hybrids with Egyptian singer Abdullah Miniawy and deadly hard drum for Livity Sound. His mixes, meanwhile, are fast becoming DJ lore thanks to his knack for connecting seemingly opposed genres like new wave and fast techno. Look no further than his now-infamous Dekmantel Selectors set from 2021 or a marathon back-to-back with Skee Mask in 2022. 

As the French DJ gets more comfortable with story-telling, he's getting more personal and focusing on deeper, slower sounds. That's evident on this RA Podcast—six months in the works—which incorporates woozy downtempo, weighty dub and bleepy beats. Of course, in the chaotic middle section there's plenty of huge basslines, plus old-school electro, acidic techno and even a bouncy edit of the Montell Jordan classic "This Is How We Do It." Showcasing his quirks, influences and growth, this is Simo Cell in prime time.
