Faultlines E29 - harold - routine

Kicking off a special Animix sub series of live recordings from Animalia x @vortexvortexvortex events. 

No better way than to start things off with one of the most long awaited, exciting sets we've been lucky to witness recently. Ricci (@riccimm ) is a dear friend, notorious for his incredibly low key but mind-blowing dj abilities. We were so so happy to host his comeback set after 2+ years in the club. It was total euphoria from beginning to end. Classy, refined non-stop bangers.  We hope you. enjoy just as much as we did!

Also special thanks to my sister Tara for whipping up this quick pic edit of .. THE CUBE.

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.

"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."

Rerecording and rework of a sonically dusty sunrise set somewhere in a field in August 2023

Excelsior Ruth - sunrise field rework August 2023

‘For home use only’ is an anti-club social, a chance to get to know someone/something. A series of transmissions purely dedicated to exploring the other side.

I hope this finds you well, and well, I hope this finds you. Apologies for the extended hiatus, I've been busy baking my brain. Alas, I return with an exceptional offering from the sonic god aka Ricci aka The godson of Naarm aka the holy one aka the DJ’s DJ aka the BPM prophet, the list goes on and on. Heading in a very alt route this time around, instead of seeing him behind the decks we’re taking a glimpse of what’s behind his eyes… A beautifully romanticised chaoticness, strewn together with the delicate thread of the unknown, resulting in one of the most fascinating ambient canvases that I've ever wrapped my ears around. A complex musical mosaic of thought-out sounds, shapes, and textures, a full introspective layered with an incredible amount of detail, the closest thing you’ll get to a reverse lobotomy. Take a few deep breaths in and out before pushing play on this one, perfect for a sunrise or a sunset. 

Enjoy, In your own time (and world)
