A few words from Evita [@la_dolc_evita] about her mix...
 
This mix unfolds like a lucid dream on the verge of breaking—familiar, yet forever just out of reach.  Melodies drift through vast, empty rooms; basslines rise like fog from the ground, slow and enveloping.  It’s the sound of falling in love with a moment you know won’t last, and dancing with its ghost long after it’s gone.

@mr_mur_ray is a NYC based DJ and the founder of Ladies On Wax, Outwatch, & FTF Records.  Here's a few words from the artist about the mix...

This podcast has been a real journey for me… like flipping through the pages of an old journal, seeing how my taste has shifted, evolved, and expanded over time. But even as I grow, I always keep that kid in mind… the one with gauges, blasting Senses Fail and Taking Back Sunday, feeling everything way too much..

My love for EBM, techno, and electro isn’t something new. It started back in my earliest encounters with electronic music… first as a raver falling hard for the Libertine sound, where everything felt raw, rebellious, and punk as hell. That energy never left me.

Making this mix felt like I was searching for something… meaning, maybe, or some forgotten part of myself. Each track came together not because it was supposed to, but because it felt right. It wasn’t about making something crowd-pleasing or polished… it was about letting the music speak, letting it pull me wherever it wanted to go. And honestly…I had the best time making it.

This isn’t a background listen. You don’t have to get it. You don’t have to like it. But if you give it a chance… if you let it sink in a little… it might just move you.

DJ Spirit [@xxdeejayspiritxx] is the co-founder of Praxis and has been active in the Montreal underground scene since 2017.  Here are few words about the mix...

This hour-long mix was inspired by some recent mixes I’ve been listening to over the last few months. Really into some recordings from the 2000s that are 116bpm-ish early morning sunrise energy, and this has a bit of that essence (A good mix to check out is the Troy Pierce Mix on Dance Shake Swing from Sept 2008, it's on Soundcloud). I decided to rev it up in the latter half but I still think it remains “deep” and keeps rolling along…which is my favourite energy to dance to. Hope you enjoy!
