Introduce yourself? Preferred pronouns? Where do you currently reside? 1 fun fact about yourself? 

Hi i’m Gigi — he/his — Austin, TX — I was a childhood ice hockey star

How is everything going with you right now?

I have been fortunate enough to be well.. been using this year off from work to dive into a practice and learn some discipline.

How did you get your dj name?

I got it from my partner, Mimi — she flipped my original g-name into gigi & it stuck. I never liked my birth name much anyway + it’s cute to match.

Who currently inspires your music-wise?

ry, tito fuego/mister water wet, charles, bobby, nueen, boundary, jel, purelink, pascäal, ian kim judd, jung dj, shiner, downstairs j, hysterical love project,  perila, oli/px, thurlow joyce+ many more.. so many friends exploring inspiring places these days

If you had to describe yourself as a flower,which one would it be and why? 

Mimi says “frost flowers because they’re ephemeral”

Favorite weird drug/mind altering experience?

Sensory deprivation tank before the rave at Shirley’s Temple (r.i.p.)
What was your first gig? How did it go? 

A show put together by Ben Aqua at an upstairs club on downtown Congress that I don’t recall. I was 18 & had only started making music on ableton a few months prior, and played a live set that mostly consisted of pressing play on a 30 min composed production mix with a little knob twiddling & dj drop triggering. considering that, I’d say it went pretty well

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

I think it’s obvious, but increased representation without tokenism. also, turn away from the dj & look at your fellow dancers.

Any cool releases upcoming for Gi Gi this year? 

I don’t want to speak too soon, but I do have a couple of records in the pipeline with quiet time & index, both of which I’m very excited about. working on some more uptempo material as kept that should be seeing the light of day soon as well.

elysium solidity #05 - sensi.ble - 15.11.2023

INEN KÄMPFERISCHEN 8. MÄRZ!

Zu dieser sehr besonderen Folge ist eine sehr besondere Person Gäst:in der Vomens Bar digitale. Diese Person spricht über das Schreiben und den Literaturbetrieb als Insitution. Wir sprechen über Erfolg und Ablehnung in einem System, das Erfolg scheinbar exponentiell denkt, das Arbeit fetischisiert und Community Care genauso wie Selbstfürsorge entwertet.

Wie ist es als FLINTA Person selbstständig zu sein? Aktivistisch zu sein? Zu schreiben oder Literatur produzierende Person zu sein?

Die Person erzählt von Ängsten und Selbstzweifeln, dem Imposter-Syndrom in einer patriarchalen Leistungsgesellschaft, die uns zu Konkurrent:innen macht, Missgunst und Neid schürt.

Und wir sprechen über Klarheit und Sucht.

Habt ihr es vielleicht schon erraten?

Gäst:in ist Autor:in, Podcaster:in und Journalist:in Svenja Gräfen.

She's here with a smooth, jazzy, and gently chilled hour of downtempo - perfect for lying in the grass and watching the levees dance in the breeze.

Tune in // fade out!

sound collage & more, this set starts both cassette and digital recordings made in the surroundings of crisálida. later on, you can find a temptation to dialogue between these and tracks crisálida feels in touch with; as she tries to communicate and escalate her frozen wings through languages already taken. closing off with twin peaks' magic, crisálida finds her way asleep again.

butterflies' shield + saxofone recording - crisálida
eden et après - crisálida

Main Ingredient #43 - Blats - Bhangra Force on @sphere radio

Today, we use Bhangra as our Main Ingredient! 

@blatsss says: My fascination with Bhangra, especially the UK hybrid version, has been with me for a while now. It all began when I discovered Bindu on Multitone and the Love 2 Love trilogy on Audiorec.

The rhythmic beats, often driven by the dhol and combined with elements of hip-hop and house, really resonate with me.

Sometimes, it can feel a bit much, but if you take the journey, it all makes sense.
