favs of '22

Attention please: that mix might make you feel nostalgic (if not already) of a time where parties were bonding us together. But what we see through that hour of downtempo mental gems and break ritual beats is the opportunity to focus on the futur rather than the past or present, buckle up @mrassister is the Doc to our Marty McFly.

Karagi ಏ Mr Assister

Based in Berlin Ruin is a writer, vocalist, activist and sex worker. She is passionately independent and is a founding member of the Sex Worker Action Group, Berlin Collective Action e.V and Radiant Love Berlin. 

We were first introduced to her through the release of a new EP in which she collaborated with D.Tiffany and Vani-T on Isla Records. Her contribution to the record allowed for her to reach and interconnect with a new audience, showcasing her own creative perspective toward lyricism, sound and design.

She herself was keen to explore this part of her nature in more detail and emphasises the importance of her and other sex workers amplification and inclusion in the wider music community. The following mixtape she has submitted is conceptual in nature and reflects the following ethos:

"It's not often that I am invited to participate in such a formate with a reach to the music community. I think it is incredibly important that we start to include sex workers in the conversation, not only because of stigma and raising awareness of their struggles but because of the incredible amount of exploitation of sex work aesthetic and vibe within the music industry 'the hustle'. Some think it's sick but existing in capitalism is harmful and violent and this is what I want to express. Do I like my work? no. I don't enjoy existing in capitalism, but furthermore sex workers are not only judged for the way we choose to survive within it but criminalised. And legalisation without decriminalisation is nothing, because it only regulates a very small amount of the community that can register. Being a sex worker becomes your identity, something that I could have never prepared myself for.

I would like to use this mix, What's your nature?, with two themes sewn throughout, almost as a collage. The themes I have chosen to speak about in my writing are pain/stigma & decriminalisation of sex work. The newly released record 'Calling Me' will be featured throughout the mix along with other collaborations, and some tones to accompany my writing."

For extended Q&A + OG pi pi pi track game please visit our website ~~~~~> pipipi.life <~~~~~~~

Introduce yourself? Pronouns? Where do you currently reside? 1 fun fact about yourself?

Hello! I’m Ivy (she/ her) and I live in Eora (Sydney), Australia :-) + I have a 2 year old cat called Frankie 

Who/what currently inspires you music-wise that has nothing to do with music?

I’d say that my emotions generally inspire me, as well as different times of the day. I tend to get the most ideas when I’m trying to figure out what music to listen to in a particular setting - like whether I’m walking around the neighbourhood at dusk, at the park on a beautiful day, cooking something really yummy and comforting or if I’m in a bad mood and need to let some angst out haha


Favorite sound of the city? Describe how it makes you feel. 

I don’t know if this is specific to the city but I love the bird calls that magpies make - I can hear them outside my house early in the morning and it makes me feel like I’m on holiday in the country somewhere :-)

Dream line-up? 

Sandpit Alias - sundown to sunrise 

Who do you think is the most underrated artist of our time?

Alex G <3  

If you had to describe yourself as flavor, what would it be and why?

Cinnamon - a little spicy but also sweet and delicious ;P

What is your favorite party/collective where you reside and why?

Such a tough question! If I had to name a few - Nectar, Pure Space and Vibe Positive for always putting endless love and care into their events - from lineup curation to constantly working on how they can make spaces safer, more accessible and representative of Eora/ Sydney’s diverse music community :-) 

What was your best moment on the dance floor?

In 2019 Moopie and Bayu closed a small festival called Echo Flats that was a few hours drive away, they played like 4 - 5 hours of the best, grooviest tech house I’d ever heard until the sun came up - it was a life changing morning :’)

What is your favorite temperature? What kind of music goes well with it? 

Probably something between 25 - 28 degrees celsius with some downtempo RnB :-) 

Any advice to upcoming DJs? 

Practice makes perfect! 
Preparing/ pre-planning your sets - especially when you’re nervous about a gig
Backup your shit (!!!!!!)

What would you like to see in the future for the dance community? 

More 24hr licences for venues - less gronks - more tech house

Ivy - 32˚C

Advice for the DJs, producers and artists of our community: Don’t gatekeep, don’t rush, find people you’re excited to share music with. Support your peers (listen and share their mixes, buy their music, go to their gigs)! 
The mix I initially prepared for this series I recorded a couple of times -  it felt like I was trying too hard to make something work and it just wasn’t sitting right… but after a night of djing at my friend Amelia Holt’s crib and then watching our friend liivwutang literally tear the club apart, I recorded this session the next day. I wasn’t recording with the intention of using it for anything so there was 0 pressure, I just plugged in my usb and tried to ride the vibes I was blessed with from the night before and something good happened. So record all your sessions and more importantly stay inspired/energized by the work n skills of other djs bc why did we wanna start doing this in the first place? some dj rocked your shit fr.

"a mix for wellness & protection"

broadcasted january 10th 2021 8-9pm
athens / berlin
info+tracklist: http://www.movement.radio/show/Wellness-and-Protection-feat-Ruin-Klarity-10012022

Strokes on clouds like pikes in water
Bubbling always, I seem to be pulling away from open space and the possibility of new dreams and new disappointments.
Step step step, can’t step backwards
Protection; No one can do it for me. Does that mean that it can't be done?
I’ll take that challenge and I wish you the same power.
I’m chanting I love you right into your mouth
I don’t understand motivates me to study human behaviour
What you see is what you understand limited
Now feel the air around the skin, feel what cannot be seen
Touch will interpret information, I understand through touch
I understand; do not abandon the pain of others
Wide mind A C C E P T S. There is flow; wellness and protection.

cute af • Wellness And Protection feat. Ruin Klarity - 10 January 2022

Since the launch of their much-loved party brand in 2002, Giles Smith and James Priestley – Secretsundaze’s founders and residents – have dedicated their work and output to ecstatic club experiences. 

A record label followed suit, as did their booking agency, long-running NTS radio show and a stack more DJ and production projects undertaken by the pair. Plus, of course, plenty more parties. 2022 marks 20 years of Secretsundaze, with the duo currently working on some exciting anniversary celebrations – but we’ll leave them to reveal those in due course. 

Here, the pair usher in the new year with their first new mix in 18 months. “The mix is direct and club-focused,” they tell Crack Magazine. “All-vinyl, with our typical Detroit and NYC stylings before moving into some more pushy atmospheric, European bizzness.”
