Juanita’s Mix 063 with quest?onmarq @iamquestionmarc

Q. How would you describe yourself?

A. a question mark


Q. How long have you been a part of the NYC music scene?

A. long enough. i’ve been living in NY my whole life. i grew up on long island. 
my adventures in that scene going to punk and hardcore shows are another story for another time but, more recently i'd commute for nights out in brooklyn and the city every weekend, often meeting the sunrise on my return trips. 
starting around dubstep days for the programming at webster hall, eventually finding the rave & underground scenes... 
anything happening in industrial or atypical venues in Brooklyn captured my attention. 
i miss parties like lit city rave, #top8 and s!ck magic.. 
memories of going to 285 kent, the wick, steel drums and more spots without names are still pretty vivid. 

around that time i'd also been put onto bossa nova civic club by following lineups which would eventually become a very big part of my own story as i graduated from patron to dj. 
there was recently a fire which has affected the building, its tenants and the team. there's a fund active if you are able to contribute :)

i'd like to start organizing my own events soon...


Q. Tell us a little bit about this mix.

A. it’s super chill jungle vibes straight thru featuring tracks from 1992 to 2022.
coming from legendary labels that championed this genre such as moving shadow, good looking, limited e edition... and a newer imprint - 8205 recordings which is focused on previously unreleased 90's hardcore and jungle.
it feels like one of my more personal collages of sounds out to date as jungle along with many other forward uk genres were pretty integral to my childhood..
i’d burn cd’s and make curated mini discs for myself to enjoy as a hobby
though my interest in the history and the figures in the scene was far more passive at the time..

this mix gives great context to two recently released productions —
my remix of ‘volshebno stretched’ by anastasia kristensen which is a fusion of jungle, techno and club
and the original self-released ‘elevation’ which draws heavily from atmospheric influence (like ltj) even through its title.

i'd also like to share this review of 'elevation' with you all..
out to DV & MG of Grooves n James for connecting with the track in ways a producer can hope
thanks also for soty shout in 2020 xxxx

Juanita's Mix 063: quest?onmarq

Next up we have Yumi! 
Everything we've heard from the NY-based selector has been banging, so we were gassd when they were keen for the pod. The mix keeps to their standard, just over an hour of left-of-centre club sonics, built expertly. Real nice tackle throughout, big ups to Yumi. 
We also caught up for a little chat, which you can check out below > 

AM: Yo! What you been up to recently? 

You know… I’ve been chilling. Grilling with friends, watching the homies play out, just big group hangs when I’m not working. 

AM: How and where did you record the mix? Was there any theme etc behind it? 

I recorded this mix with a pioneer djm-450, two xdj-700s, and my iPhone using the pioneer djm recorder app to record it. That app rocks. I recorded this at my apartment in ridgewood during the day when I probably should’ve been working. I really love going from 90 down to 160… so many crazy tunes in that area. So I started off with some tracks I knew I wanted to play and then let Jesus take the wheel. 

AM: Tell us a bit about IYDE, you run it with a couple others ye? 

In Your Dirty Ears is a monthly newsletter I do with my close friends and former colleagues Amelia Holt and Sara Casella. We were always sending each other bandcamp links and Amelia had the idea to do a newsletter and we were deep in the pandemic and I was like okay why not. Selfishly It’s been really great because it makes me very regimented about checking the hundreds of bandcamp emails in my inbox. But it’s been really nice to hear that ppl enjoy it. Ultimately if ppl r buying music and supporting artists because they checked out the newsletter I’m happy. 

AM: Whats next for ya this year? 

Looking forward to some fun gigs this summer. this weekend gonna be playing fourth world (a showcase of local nyc djs and live acts) at knockdown center with Amelia and Sasha (deep creep). It’s been really really fun to mix with them. I love them. Also amelia and I are going to be in Europe the last half of august playing some shows. But I’m honestly just super hype to see Aba Shanti-I in London.

Equally comfortable playing peak time club sets or deeper introspective selections, Emily Jeanne has found her own niche sitting at the borders of many sounds and never steering too far in any one direction. Expect cutting edge sounds ranging from more floor focussed techno music to the outer limits of experimental drone/ambient and everything in between.
