Stomping around my bedtoom like a dinosaur

Recently joining the UK-based label All Centre as co-head alongside Simkin and DJ Pitch, Sobolik has been turning heads over the last few years with their futuristic club cuts on labels such as 3024 and early reflex. Hailing from New York, Sobolik's world is filled with colour and hyperkinetic energy - not fitting in one box, their output can span across UK-influenced soundscapes of UKG and weighty bass rhythms to glistening, rolling techno anthems which can be found on their recent All Centre release. A producer very much on the rise, Sobolik is one of our ones to watch out for in 2022, we're so excited to see what they get up to next! 

Speaking about their contribution to our series, Sobolik says, "this mix basically sums up where my head is at musically these days, both from the records i've been listening to and dj sets i've enjoyed recently from the likes of lychee & aaron j, aurora halal & ron like hell, sharlese, plo man, sister zo, and zoe mcpherson. i feel like each of these sets i got to experience in the past three weeks presented such a compelling and deep narrative that colored in and around the lines of 'straightforward' techno, and inspired me to rethink how you can blend together tracky/functional and more offbeat material to tell a compelling story in a set. this mix throws together a lot of disparate styles to hopefully stitch together something that's equally heady as it is danceable, and also includes a few juicy forthcoming bits from friends & comrades :)"

NYC based - amelia holt ( @ameliaholt ) takes over earth doggo this month w a ripping mix of broken techy steeze and og trance stylings.. perfection!

Earth Dog Radio 016: Amelia Holt

@kiernan-laveaux is a boundless ball of chaos energy - an adventurous spirit, conducting the binary dissolving forces of our world that are reflected & transmuted through the unbridled passion contained within her DJing. The Cleveland artist's mission is "to channel love and understanding to dancers of open mind and spirit everywhere." Since 2014, her ethos of community building, personal autonomy, & transportative psychedelia has grown to encompass the multiversal creators of possible worlds everywhere, the In Training, Heaven is in You, & Disco Paradiso parties that traversed the wormhole of limitless expression & jouissance together in Cleveland from 2014-2018, & the Motherbeat raves that continue to manifest sporadically throughout our known universe. The music she plays is impossible to pin down in genre terms, but is unified by it's restless sense of ecstatic momentum, dissonant euphoria, & kinetic exuberance.

Her 80-minute mix for us this week is jam-packed with a little bit of everything, from peak time and head melting techno to heavenly electronics and Earth moving beats. The twisted rhythms and quick mixing style keep the whole thing moving at a real pace and move you ever closer to a transcendental state of dance floor psychedelia.

Dekmantel Podcast 385 - Kiernan Laveaux

Zoey Shopmaker aka Sister Zo is a Brooklyn-based producer, DJ, writer and co-founder of the Kansas City-based Queer/Trans collective and record label, UN/TUCK. Her February debut EP 'Screw Cheek' on Scuffed Recordings was met with critical acclaim, earning support from the likes of Ben UFO, Surgeon, I. JORDAN, Jossy Mitsu, Louise Chen and more. With her forthcoming 'Freak Shift' EP on Martyn's 3024 imprint, Zo has established herself as one of North America's breakthrough artists exploring the continuum of UK bass and techno. She has recently played sets for New York City's premier techno institution, The Bunker NYC, and is set to make her Nowadays debut on June 11th. Her sets combine the weight of percussion-heavy dubstep, UK funky and techno with effervescent club cuts and emotive house. 

Notes on the Mix ///
"I originally planned to call this my TRANSEXUAL BASS Mix, drawing exclusively from music made by trans women. Eventually I decided to include a handful of tracks that , while not made by trans women, nonetheless conveyed the message clearly. The mix begins with dark rumbly bassweight courtesy of aya (fka LOFT) interspersed with a scene from POSE in which Elektra tells off a transphobe; and it ends on an overwhelmingly positive note—with the Morales Carnival Club extended mix of 'Spice Up Your Life' by the Spice Girls. It feels like a journey from justified rage into effusive joy and affirmation, with each track carefully selected to amplify the energy of trans and queer empowerment."

XOXA BLEND 104 - SISTER ZO

Entering our minds through the rumbling of bass bins planted firmly on the ocean floor, Cousin’s deep earth rhythms span wide, from massage chair dubs on 7" to peak time dust burners echoing live under the stars. Summoning sounds from well below the surface and far beyond the ozone layer, we're treated here to a blissed out blend of atmospheric groovers inspired by the natural surrounds of the Moonshoe boss' daily commute.

Unpredictable as both a DJ and an event organizer, Seattle's @grymnk brings a fresh, community-centered energy to the North American dance music scene and beyond. From throwing notorious raves in rented mansions and other unconventional spaces and bringing together international favorites and local heroes, to playing alongside artists like Ayesha, Object Blue, and Azu Tiwaline, grymnk is an energetic force. Their mix for Spontaneous Affinity is trippy, wonky, and devilishly fun.

"When I made this mix, I had a couple weeks of being alone and to be honest things got a little weird. I think this will come through when you listen.

When I imagined people listening to this, my hope was that they would hear the struggle, the mental illness, but also the celebration of oneself and the wiggle of dancing in a room alone."

SPONTANEOUS AFFINITY is about the communal nature of the dancefloor. It's about communication and feedback. Spontaneous Affinity isn't for the isolated bedroom producer, although we love them, too—it is for those of us who understand music and dance as one of the most powerful sources of personal growth and interpersonal empathy, who are driven by the need to support and elevate one another, and as a result experience the evolution of our creative and connective selves.

Spontaneous Affinity isn't about ego, knowledge, paraphernalia, or exclusivity of any kind. It's about PURE SENSATION. It's about losing track of yourself and merging with a moment. It's about temporary autonomous zones and ephemeral connections. It's about forgetting to Shazam that track or fix your hair. It's about the hours far past dawn when everyone left on the dancefloor has laid their soul bare but still looks beautiful under the harshness of sunlight.

Spontaneous Affinity is NOT A UTOPIAN VISION. It's about understanding how to let go. How to let go of a person. How to let go of a place. How to break a routine even if it hurts. How to appreciate a feeling that can't last forever as if it were eternal, and how to appreciate challenging moments—and challenging sounds—as catalysts for growth.
