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.

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 🚲
