Juanita's Mix 086 with Devoye @devoye

Q. How would you describe yourself?
A. A music and people lover

Q. How long have you been a part of the NY scene?
A. Since around 2014

Q. Tell us about this mix.
A. I wanted to make a groovy, sultry and tripped out mix for the series. Most of the tracks have a sense of psychedelia or euphoria going on. Aka sex on 🍄

Juanita's Mix 093 with Yibing @yibingg

Q. How would you describe yourself?
A. Emo & bubbly, Chinese-Mexican, cycling enthusiast, overthinker, moon in gemini.

Q. How long have you been a part of the NY music scene?
A. In literal terms, since 2017, when I started working with Beats in Space (shout out Tim!). Met some of my best friends throughout those years (RVNG crew 4e). I think a lot has changed since then (in great ways!) and I feel a deeper sense of community & belonging with each passing year. 

Zip codes aside though, music has always been where I’ve felt most at home.

Q. Tell us a little bit about this mix.
A. The first song I knew I needed on this mix was Cabaret Voltaire’s “Resonator,” and then it kind of morphed into a bunch of different ideas and iterations from there. The process felt trippy and somewhat contradictory. I lost the plot a few times. But that’s just how it goes sometimes when the mezzo’s kick in!!! I finally recorded this mix a week after Sustain, on a gloomy and rainy Sunday in Dev’s studio. Steph helped me master it ❤. I was still riding off that high of feeling so deeply held by my friends, feeling so rooted in this city I love so much. 

The sound on this mix is somewhat slippery and introspective. There’s a bit of nostalgia and yearning, but also optimism for the future. Overall, it’s a letter for what 2023 has been so far - connections & missed connections, ebbs & flows. What a whirlwind.

Hope you go on a bike ride & cross a few bridges with this mix 🚲

EMC is glad to have Hue onboard!

Co-founder of @itsdelayed and @never-late, Hue is a dedicated artist and selector wisely merging experimental, ambient, deep techno sounds. Here some of his words about this mix: "The original idea started as part of an extended set that I play every year at our Delayed Barn getaways. There’s always a joy in having the opportunity to play long hours with no pressure to ‘get’ somewhere in a time frame. For this mix, I recorded it at home in my apartment with a few friends on a Friday night. I tried to capture that moment where things shift into gear as the energy starts to rise and excitement builds for what is to come".


Enjoy!

Live recording from Fandango in the Lighthouse, Plötzensee, October 2023.

Montreal-based DJ & Producer Pascale Project returned to Fandango to clown around the lighthouse last autumn for season 2. But this clown did get someways serious in the deliverance of a sleek and dynamic set that is stacked with  old and new mid to peak housey rhythms that our day time dancers appreciated dearly. 

We cherish this clown. Listen back to relive or experience a sample of Pascale's skillset and respect in her craft as a DJ.

Pure energy from one of electronic music's brightest lights: Sofia Kourtesis. Clamour had built around the Peruvian artist's poignant brand of house music following a string of EPs and 12"s, culminating in last year's Madres—a passionate, vulnerable and excellent album that resonated widely.

Madres packed in rare specificity for a dancefloor record, combining paeans to the power of sound with direct tributes to the neurosurgeon who saved the life of Kourtesis' mother. (Kourtesis even took him clubbing in Berlin as an additional thank you.) The album's earworm melodies and approachable aura helped launch Kourtesis from bubbling to breakthrough on the global stage. In both sound and impact, it mirrors another record: Swim, the 2010 classic made by Kourtesis' friend and mentor, Dan Snaith.

Speaking of @caribouband: RA.943 kicks off with a brand new Sofia Kourtesis & Daphni collaboration, before powering through summer-ready cuts from LUXE, Floating Points, IceMorph, DJ ADHD and an old Oliver Lieb classic. Even as her reputation as a recording artist swells, this power-hour mix is a sharp reminder of Kourtesis' DJing chops, teeing up a victory-lap summer ahead.

LT | May '24

STUDIO is proud to announce Massimiliano Pagliara as its first resident. The Italian artist's lithe, soaring sonics fuse lush, cosmic house with driving 4x4 cross pollinations, all sealed with a throbbing undercurrent. A set from Pagliara transports you to the heavens; his ear for truly beautiful melodies plays against wiggly acid, interwoven diva vocals and naughty tribal rhythms. This mix sees him in peak form. Not a moment is wasted, and Pagliara dives headfirst into crystalline waters of pure joy.
