Pontiac Streator Hot Mix 6/15/21

interview: https://www.lowendtheorists.com/theory-therapy-mixes/theory-therapy-38-index-records

Amorphous textures and undulating rhythms from INDEX:Records co-owner Conna Haraway.

Next up on the TT series is Conna Haraway who co-runs the indefinably good INDEX:Records with King Softy. The pair originally met and formed their label in Amsterdam (they also run Appendix.files) but Connor is now based in Glasgow while Amos lives in Berlin.

Like the music they make and release, I can't and won't attempt to describe this mix because genre terms don’t really work when it comes to these guys, but the whole thing encapsulates the INDEX style perfectly. I’ve also asked Connor a few questions about Glasgow because I love and miss that city so couldn't pass up the opportunity to speak a little about it (and it's very temperamental weather).

Rain or shine, we hope you enjoy this one.

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."

We warmly welcome Dani & Irimias (@danisivar & @irimiass) to our WHiTMIX series with a live recording from their 2024 set at MNMT festival @monument-podcast

The Stockholm-based diggers discovered a shared love for diverse flavours of music, through their initial connection at Monument in its inception years. Forging a long-lasting friendship you can feel reflected in their mix.

"We had a lot of fun playing this set together as we felt a lot of freedom to do our own thing with the timeslot (23:40-03:30), playing on the second stage (Haven) and knowing the festival very intimately. It was especially fun as we had played there the year before as well together with @celadon, opening the main stage on Saturday. So to get to do a night time set with some weirder selections was a blast.

This section of the mix is from the middle of the set and we felt it represents the overall mood the best."

Tune in to their immersive selections as they guide us through the waves of free, electronic expressions

Thank you Dani & Irimias.

Inspired by cities and dancefloors where she's lived and explored, London-based Annx’s (@annx-anna-whomp) deep sound echos within her multi-genre selections. 

Her commitment to the scene goes beyond the booth with her events being a staple for psychedelic music on London's club circuit. As well as co-curating perspectives• with Nicole Gordon, she founded and curates Whomp with Lora Mipsum and is part of the Above Below Festival music team.

This mix floats around 140bpm, blending freaky textural bass with psychedelic techno and deep dubstep.

For this month's mix, we welcome Maïore, a French and Berlin-based artist, vinyl selector, and curator of @preceptco. Maïore's sound is rooted in the deep, minimal, and dubby realms of electronic music, today he takes us on a journey through gentle melodies and subtle grooves, drifting between ambient and downtempo. This mix perfectly sets the mood for a slow summer day. Big thanks to Maïore for sharing his universe with us!

KOSCOY & MIRRORLAKE / SPIRIT FREQUENCY MIX 02•08•25

Resident Stelios Bouboukis (@silent-stelios) has created an immersive, two-hour mix to get us in the mood for Bleep43 Inclines on 11th October 2025 at The Bath House, London. Stelios has mixed tracks from our wonderful guests with music from his extensive collection, travelling deep and wide. 

We’re very much looking forward to welcoming you back to The Bath House with a listening session for those that like to lie down and those that like to dance. Over the course of the day and across two rooms we’ll present sound healing, experimentation, deep listening and dancing. We’ll be guided by some of our favourite performers, composers and DJs, delivered on carefully tuned and custom installed sound systems.

In the main room C. Lavender will open the day and set the course with a gong and electronics sound bath.

Luke Fraser follows C. Lavender with a hybrid audio and visual performance mixing generative and interactive elements.

Our third live act of the day is a brand new collaborative project between Bleep43’s Bea Brennan and Minced Oath that was commissioned for this year’s Open Ear Festival in Ireland.

Surgeon will be playing back to back with Dan Bean throughout the day in the main room, carefully guiding us from horizontal sound immersion through to dancefloor release via the the more ecstatic, cathartic and psychedelic regions of their musical worlds.

As well as The Bath House’s main room we’ll be taking over their second room this time with extended DJ sets from Sybil and Ali Wade that promise to explore the boundaries between stasis and movement. 

Tickets are available on RA: https://ra.co/events/2205555
There are a small number of discounts for Bleep43 mailing list subscribers: https://bio.site/bleep43

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.
