Lychee (@lycheefrut) & I had a lovely time joining May's Nowadays Nonstop with an extended back-to-back, and I'm glad we're able to revisit the moment.

We wanted this set to be as fun as possible while distinctly ourselves, and I love that you can hear a bit of both of us in the recording, dancing side-by-side in one of our favorite venues and building steadily toward a euphoria of our own.

Recorded live at Nowadays (@nowadaysnyc), 28 May 2022, 10PM - 2AM. With much love & thanks to the Nowadays staff and all the dancers. Illustration by Sofia Hjortberg.

Perhaps best known for his association with beloved dance music blog Truants, @riccardovillella is also one of our favorite DJs—with a streak of mixes that always feel like instant classics—and a staple of the broader dance music scene in his own right. Villella's penchant for community began on early dance music forums and extends into today's social media networks and elevating others through mixes and in-depth interviews on @truants. His mix for us, inspired by timeless mix CDs like those of Fabric and a 'spiritual successor' to his mix for our friends at @sure_thing, is also a vivid memory of teenage bike rides along the beach in 2006.

"For the last 11 years I’d been living in London and for a long time, I had no desire really to leave. People say you can call somewhere 'home' after living there for a duration of seven years, so I was well past and on my way. The last three years though, I had really burnt out quite hard creatively, and was kind of just trudging along. It took me a while to realize that I’d maybe needed a break away from London and the constant living for the weekend parties. Work had gone remote, so the option of moving back home to Brighton on the seafront for a temporary reset and to save some money seemed like the logical next step.

I was quite excited about moving back, as one of my friends Bobby had moved back home from London a year prior to also work remote, my friend Sean was still down there and had been making some really cool art recently so we’d been reconnecting, and my friend Sam who moved to Australia 10 years ago was going to be back for a short trip in Brighton this year for a couple weeks. This felt kind of important to me as, as we’d all be in the same city for the first time in a very long time, and these were people that made up my favourite summer ever - the year 10 one in 2006.

... We spent most of that summer going on these really long bike rides from Shoreham-by-Sea, past the cement factory before reaching Brighton beach, and just cycle as far as we could until the sun went down. Me and Bobby would pack our little MP3 players (think I had a Creative Zen Touch then) the night before with as much ‘feels’ music as we’d like to call it, anything that would make our cycles feel like an extended Michael Mann movie, or "LA Action" we’d say. There was just something quite life-affirming as a 16 year old, headphones in, cycling back as the sun sets after exploring some beach cave and you’ve got either of Fila Brazillia - "Subtle Body", Groove Armada - "Paris", or DJ Shadow - "Blood On The Motorway" playing in the background. It was all very Stand By Me in the most musically liberating way possible. I’ve caught myself thinking of those times a lot lately.

I’ve tried to channel a lot of those feelings quite subtly into my studio mixes over the years—hopeless nostalgia, bittersweetness, a sad euphoria—more so on ones where I’m trying to achieve something other than a club-mix. The Sure Thing mix comes to mind especially, but that was also very influenced by the techno aspect of the series and certain life events. Whilst this feels very much like a spiritual successor to that mix, I didn’t want to be so subtle with this one. It’s a straight ode to a single perfect 24 hours that summer, and all the tunes that I was listening to back then, plus some that capture that perfect world-at-your-feet, carefree, teen vibe for me. It covers many moods and feelings of a hot day down at the beach and the transition as the sun sets and you’re getting ready to dance the night away.

I’ve wanted to record something like this for a long time, something that kind of felt like a timeless mix CD, and think you gave me the best opportunity and timing in wanting to put it together, especially as I’ve been doing that same cycle route every other weekend whilst down here."

With roots in Pittsburgh and a recent stint in Denver, Paul Fleetwood @fleet412 is both a beacon and a connector within the North American dance music community. A co-founder of Hot Mass with hands in events such as Honcho Campout, Lot Mass, VIA Festival, the Great American Techno Festival, and Humanaut, his DJ sets and productions blend a classic, grounded Midwest techno sensibility with a modern edge, always infused with emotion and sincerity. In 2021, Fleetwood launched his own label, Perimeter Junk, which has already cemented itself as a forerunner in predicting the next wave of dancefloor heaters for kind-hearted weirdos.

"I knew I wanted a mix that featured mostly four-on-the-floor music, upbeat but smooth and not too aggressive. I imagined a much deeper and more emotive mix than what I originally intended but that didn’t make me any less happy with how it turned out.

This was recorded Saturday, October 8th, 2022 at my apartment in Denver, CO. I used two XDJ-700s and a A&H Xone:92 rotary mixer. I compiled a playlist of roughly nine hours of music from which to choose. Experimenting from that list, it took around seven takes to nail a flow that felt right.

The interview questions brought Molly Nilsson’s 'Never Coming Home' to mind so I decided to include it. I couldn't come up with a smarter way other than to place it as an encore so there ya go, my creative apex at work."

Campout is an experience that we meticulously curate from start to finish; finding an artist that can connect the dots and close the festival is never an easy task. When asking artists to play, we always encourage them to stay through the festival in its entirety. This is the best way to truly understand what the festival is and what the community brings. 

This brings us to @ciel_dj, who we view as one of the most talented and hardworking DJ/producers in dance music. She's put in the work with her own music but also with her community in Toronto. We fully trusted her to step up and give us all proper send off. From slamming house to funky tech house rollers, Ciel gifted the crowd the energy to make it across the finish line. The ending track, 'Right Here' by SWV was damn near perfection.

"This mix was a re-creation of a set I did at the Stream Informer Glen Falls House party this past June. I recorded the live set and was hoping to release that, but I was redlining a little too hard, and the recording came out hopelessly distorted. I was really proud of the mix and put a lot of work into it, so 3 months after the fact I decided to revisit it.

In preparing the set initially I decided to pretend I was playing to the sunrise even though the set ended at 4AM. Sunrise for me means… trance, I guess. It was a really cute party and lots of friends (Alyce included!) were there providing tons of warm and wiggly energy. I remember looking out and seeing someone twerking on the subwoofer at one point. My summer was kind of up and down after that, so it was a really positive memory to revisit.

I did this incarnation of the mix in my living room with 2 old CDJ 2000s, one XDJ 700 that I borrowed from my friend Danny, and my Mastersound 4 rotary mixer. I spent one day practicing, then did two full takes over the next two evenings. The take you’re hearing right now was the last one that I recorded. Looking back at the tracklist, one thing that stands out is how much new music I played, which is pretty rare for me. You’re not usually gonna see this much music from 2020 and beyond in a Tony G tracklist."

Two mixes meet on a late night wandering through a city. Bodies emerge from the underground to twist and gyrate.... There is a scent in the air of sweat, energy, concrete, flowers breaking through the pavement... 

We begin with a wavy metamorphic mix from Yessi from the experimental groove collective Dyspheric...

And to follow [starting at 50:45] is an undeniable techno crusher from room-melter I.D.E....

aka-Sol (@acaciabaila) is an Ecuadorian DJ, producer, and multidisciplinary artist based in Brooklyn. Through their Acacia Baila label, they're also a connector: they've released their own tracks and collaborations alongside releases from their friends and community, as well as thrown events at spaces like Mansions and their involvement in the Dripping event series and festival. As a DJ, their sets are genre-defying and psychedelic, bridging the gap between heady, trippy sounds and groove and percussion that go straight to the body. Their mix for us is deftly controlled chaos — a fresh, freaky take on 'fast' that's as floating and expansive as it is frenetic.

spontaneous.zone/052-aka-sol

"I wanted to create a mix exploring the 150-160 bpm pocket. I feel like I have only landed in playing around these tempos a few times while DJing live, and had definitely not recorded a mix up there before. I was itching to submerge into it after a crucial year in my DJ career, where I have widely expanded the limitations of the things I feel comfortable playing.

It’s been refreshing to understand more and more that I am not an artist/DJ that could be defined by a music genre, but rather by the sensibility in which I lace the different styles and sounds I use to create narratives when constructing my sets. Another important challenge I presented to myself for recording this mix was the curiosity of understanding what kind of tunes I would select and blend for this as a non DnB nor hard techno DJ. I feel like by going through this challenge, I have opened a world of possibilities that I can’t wait to incorporate when playing out there.

In terms of feelings explored, I would say that expansiveness of the body and the mind are a recurrent element in my practice and it was very present in this mix too. I wanted to build something that could feel both complex yet fluid. Entering into deeper introspections while feeling your body being pulled in all possible directions at once until the point of surrendering into a floating state of slow movements is the only possible solution to cope with the amount of information being received.

In terms of gear, I used 2 Pioneer XDJ-700s and a Pioneer DJM 450 mixer. For the recording I use a Zoom H6 recorder."

Vancouver's @djhockey brings a sense of playfulness, groove, and emotion to a realm of psychedelic, twisted techno that can often take itself too seriously. He regularly appears at Vancouver venues like Dolly and recently played at the inaugural Osmosis in the Trees festival in Oregon. In addition to DJing, he co-runs record label and mix series @pprzrecords alongside Adam 2, uplifting emerging artists from across the underground and most recently releasing his own latest EP, Celestial Pursuit.

"This mix combined parts of various gigs I was working on that fell through. The gigs had quite differing musical lineups and set times, which I combined with some tracks that had been sitting in my wishlist on Bandcamp but never seen a fit for a particular project as of yet. It quickly turned into my favourite mix I’ve created thus far, as I feel it closely represents my favourite aspects of dance music all in one.

I have been working on trying to incorporate a wider range of my style into my podcasts so that each one doesn’t get tunnel vision, while still telling a slow burning story. I’ve also been pushing myself to make each individual blend something unique. Lots of tracks work well together, but is it something special and new? These are questions I have been asking myself more lately. I like the playfulness of this mix, but it also has moments where you may question what emotion you’re feeling."

As Seunghee @seungheeworks prepares to make a move back to Europe and Seoul after a stint based in Brooklyn, we feel lucky to have connected with her range of creative output. She has hosted events under the banner of Yulheim Electronics alongside DJ Snail at intimate, audiophile venues like Jupiter Disco and Mansions, showcasing artists with a taste for dance music that builds layered, dreamy soundscapes, a descriptor that could also apply to her own DJing. With a patient, colorful, emotional approach and a penchant for abstracted kicks and polyrhythms, Seunghee's sound somehow feels as evocative of an urban landscape as a forest ecosystem, organic and full of life, even when that life may be struggling.

"Every time I make a mix, I just put in all the tracks I really like and play them by the BPM, and sort out the ones that mix well. After finishing the mix, I hear it and realize what thoughts and intentions were being made.

This time, it sounded like I was trying to build a conviction. There’s a virtual character and she is trying to say something without losing her tone or deviating from her angle. There are a lot of forces trying to convince her out of her own narrative but somehow she maintains it. At least it shows the struggle.

I am currently making a lot of difficult and big choices in life. These choices will determine my survival. It helps to remember where I come from and which direction I am going. It’s not just about my own wants. I think everyone has a name, background, and roots that connect them to their own destiny. I feel I am in a stage of life where I understand myself better. (I am in my thirties) and the mix is about moving forward without compromising. Hopefully it relates to others who are going through changes.

I used a pair of CDJs and Xone92 mixer with a pair of KRKs & Audio-Technica headphones."

Tony G is a DJ and Producer newly based in Chicago after relocating from New York City in 2023. You never know what you’ll get when Tony G is at the controls - his unpredictable DJ sets reflect his kaleidoscopic taste and years of diligent record collecting. As a producer, he has released music on Sorry Records, Eat Dis, Eto Ano, Toucan Sounds, and Super Tuff, and he co-runs Sorry Records with his friend Nick Boyd. 

Notes on the Mix ///
"This was a mix I recorded on a whim one night shortly before moving out of New York. I was trying to sell some records before I moved and thought I’d go through some of the house records on my shelves that I wasn’t super familiar with. This mix was the result… safe to say i didn’t sell any of these records! 

PS: I recorded this mix a few months ago and went back just recently to figure out the tracklist.. most of them I remembered pretty easily, a few took some deeper digging through the record shelf, and there’s one track that, as of this mix being released, I cannot ID! It’s on the tip of my tongue.. maybe i’ll come back and update the tracklist at some point. Anyways, hope you enjoy!"

B18. Tony Giambrone

Hello and welcome to my kitchen. I am Tony Giambrone, a descendant of Italians on my father's side. Here is how I make red sauce. I wish I could say that it was a family recipe. Instead it borrows heavily from alt-comedian Eric Wareheim's Nonna Sauce, with some modifications and some key instructions on incorporating your sauce with the pasta. It is a great, easy, meatless meal to make for friends and family. I hope that it pairs well with the music I have selected, which starts with jazz to help those alliums simmer and lands with an italo-disco chef's kiss, traversing many records that I love to listen to while I cook in between. I hope you love it as much as I love you.

Ingredients:

1 box of your favorite pasta 
1/2 cup high quality olive oil
One large yellow onion
One head of garlic with nice big cloves
A couple of leaves of basil
2 large cans of whole peeled San Marzano tomatoes 
Oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, pepper
A wedge of fresh parmesan cheese

Method:

1. Gather 4 to 6 friends at whoever’s house has the most comfortable kitchen.
2. If you drink alcohol, make a round of Americanos:
Fill a short glass with ice. Add one part Campari, one part sweet Vermouth, and two parts soda water. Garnish with an orange peel. Give it a quick whirl around the rim of the glass before you twist it and drop it into the drink. Fragrance is half the battle.
3. Hit play on the mix that accompanies this recipe
4. Dice your onion and garlic (the whole damn head!)
5. Heat the olive oil in a dutch oven or large sauce pan over very low heat. Add the garlic and a few basil leaves. Let it simmer for about ten minutes to infuse the garlic and basil into the oil. Be careful not to let the garlic burn! Stir often. 
6. Remove the garlic and basil from the oil and set aside.
7. Turn the heat up to medium and add the onion. Simmer for another ten minutes until the onion is translucent and soft. 
8. Add back in your garlic and basil as well as a pinch of oregano, red pepper flakes, and salt and pepper to taste. 
9. Add your tomatoes. Turn up the heat until the sauce starts to boil, then lower it to a gentle simmer. Start to gently crush the tomatoes against the side of the pot. Careful! They have a tendency to squirt their juices at you. Never wear a white shirt while you’re cooking sauce!
10. If you have a parmesan rind lying around for some reason, don’t be afraid to toss that in there for some added flavour.
11. Let the sauce simmer for at least an hour, until the tomatoes have broken down and the whole thing takes on a nice chunky but smooth consistency. Keep an eye on it and stir occasionally. 
12. Cook your pasta in a big pot of salted water until it’s just below al dente.
13. Reserve a cup of pasta water. 
14. Drain the pasta and add it back into the pot you cooked it in over low heat. 
15. Add a generous amount of your sauce to the pot. Stir it heartily for about a minute, slowly adding a few splashes of pasta water, until the noodles are coated in the sauce. 
16. Turn off the heat. Drizzle in some more olive oil, and grate some parmesan into it. Continue to stir until everything is combined. 
Serve with fresh basil and more fresh grated parmesan to garnish.
17. Consider serving with a side arugula salad, roasted vegetables, chicken thighs, eggplant parmesan… the list goes on! Mangia!

Since his last set at the club and now, he has moved to a new city, put out some top notch releases and played sets the world over, garnering him residencies at some of best clubs around (also championing those around him all along the way.)

Following a warm up set by Detroit’s 2 Lanes, Savile proceed to play a set that could honestly be described as nothing but a roller coaster ride. Track after track gave way to rapid shifts in genre and style, causing the crowd to responded with enthusiastic cheers to each unexpected twist and turn. So find a seat and enjoy the ride, this one has something for everyone.

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.
