Zara

Based in Berlin Ruin is a writer, vocalist, activist and sex worker. She is passionately independent and is a founding member of the Sex Worker Action Group, Berlin Collective Action e.V and Radiant Love Berlin. 

We were first introduced to her through the release of a new EP in which she collaborated with D.Tiffany and Vani-T on Isla Records. Her contribution to the record allowed for her to reach and interconnect with a new audience, showcasing her own creative perspective toward lyricism, sound and design.

She herself was keen to explore this part of her nature in more detail and emphasises the importance of her and other sex workers amplification and inclusion in the wider music community. The following mixtape she has submitted is conceptual in nature and reflects the following ethos:

"It's not often that I am invited to participate in such a formate with a reach to the music community. I think it is incredibly important that we start to include sex workers in the conversation, not only because of stigma and raising awareness of their struggles but because of the incredible amount of exploitation of sex work aesthetic and vibe within the music industry 'the hustle'. Some think it's sick but existing in capitalism is harmful and violent and this is what I want to express. Do I like my work? no. I don't enjoy existing in capitalism, but furthermore sex workers are not only judged for the way we choose to survive within it but criminalised. And legalisation without decriminalisation is nothing, because it only regulates a very small amount of the community that can register. Being a sex worker becomes your identity, something that I could have never prepared myself for.

I would like to use this mix, What's your nature?, with two themes sewn throughout, almost as a collage. The themes I have chosen to speak about in my writing are pain/stigma & decriminalisation of sex work. The newly released record 'Calling Me' will be featured throughout the mix along with other collaborations, and some tones to accompany my writing."

Liucy

An incredible hour of melodic trance, breaks and prog from Naarm/ Melbourne based Edge Worker DJ ( @james-tom ). The incredibly versatile and talented musician is known for his role as the keyboard player in @krakatau-melbourne. Here, he explores his Edge Worker side-project, showcasing an impressive and expansive array of rare trance records, and incredible mixing skills. 

Having stumbled upon James' Butter Sessions (Part 1 + 2) trance mixes during lockdown this year, his mixes made me yearn for the dance floors we have been bereft of for so much of the last two years. This mix is a very fitting way to enter 2022, channelling reborn dance floor energy. 

Thanks again for the mix James!

"a mix for wellness & protection"

broadcasted january 10th 2021 8-9pm
athens / berlin
info+tracklist: http://www.movement.radio/show/Wellness-and-Protection-feat-Ruin-Klarity-10012022

Strokes on clouds like pikes in water
Bubbling always, I seem to be pulling away from open space and the possibility of new dreams and new disappointments.
Step step step, can’t step backwards
Protection; No one can do it for me. Does that mean that it can't be done?
I’ll take that challenge and I wish you the same power.
I’m chanting I love you right into your mouth
I don’t understand motivates me to study human behaviour
What you see is what you understand limited
Now feel the air around the skin, feel what cannot be seen
Touch will interpret information, I understand through touch
I understand; do not abandon the pain of others
Wide mind A C C E P T S. There is flow; wellness and protection.

For the extended Q&A and OG pi pi pi track game please visit our website ~~~~> pipipi.life <~~~~~~~~

Introduce yourself? Pronouns? Where do you currently reside? 1 fact about yourself?

My name is Taya (she/her), I live in Berlin. I am Belarus born and raised, and World shaped and formed

How did you get your DJ name?

I was messing around with a friend, and we were laughing at how absurd this name would sound on a line up.

Said in a serious deep male voice

Yogic

Teleself

DJ LENTIL

After some backs and forths I came to terms with being the ridiculousness I want to see in the world

Fav bpm and why?

140 is the bpm I am truly comfortable in. If I go higher I am ramping it up. Slower than 140bpm is basically downtempo

What is your favorite party/collective where you reside and why?

Climax - these women are making their own space and crafting their own vibe in the current techno paradigm. Their mission and ethics are on point, while their music tastes reside outside of time.
3 X L - the existence of ambient influencers has been confirmed
D.U.M.P. - most importantly, a party. Bring what you’ve got and you are welcome here for who you are, but not for who you think you are ;)
Astral VIP - bend your mind with the music and bend your music with the mind.

What do you think future generations will think about the 2022 sound?

“What a strange loop”

What would you like to see in the future for the dance community?

Post capitalism. Humans gathered all the gun supply on Earth, loaded it on a big spaceship and sent it off into the cosmos. The rich are abolished. Reparations have been paid. Therapy has been mandatory for yt men for a few decades now. There is no such thing anymore as a “bedroom producer”, we record our music directly from our brains. Rave Etiquette and Rave History are the subjects studied in middle-school. There is no talk at the raves in the front of the dance floor - we have telepathy for that. DJing as a craft remains the same because it has always been ahead of its time.

Nothing In Moderation With DJ Voices @ The Lot Radio 03 - 02 - 2022

DJ Name:  ābnamā
Pronouns: ask me irl;)
Based in: berlin

▼ How did your DJ journey start? 

I was running out of ideas on how to procrastinate on my uni graduation project so decided to install a cracked copy of traktor on my laptop

▼ What is your favourite thing about being a DJ? 

the fact that a process as nerdy and private as obsessing over music, translates into a very social thing

▼ How would you describe the queer clubbing scene in your area?

it's been well and alive but now coming out of the pandemic and faced with increasingly predatory real estate speculation, the fight for our living and social spaces is quite urgent
