There were concerns about a possible lack of German voices in this collection but acid legend Carlos Souffront came to our rescue and his exclusive “Europe from Detroit” mix dispels them in the most unexpected, poignant and concise way possible. Kraftwerk’s 1977 “Trans-Europe-Express” imagined the continent as a haven of post-historical nostalgia. We asked Carlos to reimagine Europe as a province of Detroit in order to invert the usual perspective.
Often, the Motor City is an object of European musical desire, filled to the brim with projections even, and especially if there is post-industrial desolation to be admired. Let’s try it the other way around. The mix expertly strides between delicacy and a sense of impending dread that culminates in a brief sequence where German history unmistakably rears its ugly head. But there is life beyond that, there has to be. This is not a mind trip, this is a body journey.

The first time we'd ever heard of Carlos Souffront was in 2006, when Derek Plaslaiko was encouraging us to book him for our first 3/03 acid party (alongside Mark Verbos).  Derek would not shut up about a party in Detroit where Carlos just played Aphex Twin (and his many aliases) vinyl all night long and demolished the place.  So it only followed that we should invite him to play an all acid set on 3/03.  Carlos of course was phenomenal that night and has been a regular guest at The Bunker ever since.  Earlier this year, when Aphex Twin began uploading a seemingly endless stream of unreleased tracks to Soundcloud, it was Derek once again who called us and said: you HAVE to ask Carlos do a mix of this stuff for The Bunker Podcast.  Carlos obliged and did this mix for us live in one take (after a surprise practice session on RBMA radio).  Enjoy!

Texas native Gi Gi deals in head-down propulsive music. He’s released on a cast of labels including Good Morning Tapes (AUS), Quiet Time (USA), and INDEX:Records (UK/DE). Utilizing a collage-based approach that takes in a wide swath of source material, the result is a peculiar strain of ambient dance music equally at home in headphones or the back rooms of a club. 

As a DJ, the introspection that characterizes his music echoes throughout, but the net is cast wider. The energy inches upwards, and styles that trace contours in his productions present themselves more directly. Gi Gi brings nuance and warmth to his DJing, nudging dancers towards reflection and loungers towards movement.

來自德州的 Gi Gi 擅長製作深邃且具推進感的音樂。他曾於多個廠牌發行作品，包括 Good Morning Tapes (澳洲)、Quiet Time (美國) 和 INDEX:Records (英國/德國)。他的創作運用拼貼式手法，採納大量不同來源的素材，產生出一種獨特的氛圍舞曲，無論是透過耳機聆聽或在俱樂部的後場空間，都能自在呈現。

作為 DJ，他的音樂特有的內省特質依然存在，但風格更為廣泛，能量逐步升溫。那些在他製作作品中較為隱晦的風格線條，在他的 DJ 演出中則更加鮮明直接。Gi Gi 的 DJ 風格細膩且充滿溫度，能引導舞者進入思考，也促使靜坐的聽眾隨之起舞。

For CoziMix 21 we welcome Brooklyn based DJ, Maharam. Maharam is an American DJ and co-organizer of Final Passage, a Brooklyn-based event series emphasizing leftfield curation across both club and deep listening environments. Maharam's affinity for deeper sound is rooted in the melancholic landscapes of his Pacific Northwest upbringing, as well as his background as a guitarist and jazz vocalist. After moving to New York seven years ago, Brooklyn's rich DIY scene has been central to his life, acting as a constant source of inspiration and connection. During this mix he takes us on an atmospheric journey which he recorded spontaneously at 6am on a snowy Sunday dawn at his friend's apartment in the lower east side. 'I wanted to play in my collection of emotive moody trip hop, ambient, and dubby sounds for the cold season.'

CoziMix Questions : 

1. How and why did you get into dj’ing?
Living in Brooklyn, I feel very spoiled by the talent that comes through the city, and I've been very fortunate to have friends with great taste that have led me to some beautiful events. I had been going out for many years before I ever considered DJing, and picking it up after so long was very natural. I had set aside a lot of my musical life after moving to NY in 2018, but rediscovering it through DJing in the context of the scene has been very inspiring. 

2. Who, What/where was your most coziest gig you've been to or experienced and why?
I went to an event at one of my favorite DIY spaces in the fall of 2024 put on by Ballet (shoutout 320 and Blessing). It was a cozy deep listening vibe, where people were lying on mats on the floor. I was really blown away by Significant Other, who played a set spanning shoegaze, folk, and dub, but with a feeling of tender loneliness that left some of the audience in tears. Its not often I experience sets that hold you in the way that one did. 

3. Do you consider yourself an introvert or extrovert in the scene?
I'm probably more of an extrovert, I really enjoy being out and running into people that I've been connected with through music.

4. If you had to choose 1 track to vibe out too forever, what would it be?
Takeo.K - 時々

5. What is your routine when preparing for a gig? Do you have any special remedies/ mental/physical prep/ places to go to? :)
I usually just spend time at home digging, mixing, and playing around in rekordbox, regardless of whether I have a gig or not. I have a pretty intense organizational system that I rely on quite a bit. I've also put a lot of work into my apartment lately, so I enjoy spending a lot of time at home :)

For the newest instalment, i'm really happy to welcome the incredible Brussels-based AliA (@aliamusicc). The local mainstay is a regular on Kiosk radio and runs her own label - @artisjokrecords. Alyah, better known as AliA,  has an exciting & unique approach to dj'ing. She is known for her blend of contemporary club music with jazz, classical and experimental sounds. 

I find AliA's musical outputs incredibly refreshing - the kind of artist who reminds you what a really good DJ can do - they can present genres & sounds to you that you'd otherwise maybe not typically explore, in a new and exciting way. For her Animix, Alyah has gone for an intensely chill blend of ambient & immersive music, with minimal, glitchy, dub techno, jazz, classical sounds and more.

Thank you so much for the mix Alyah <3

Techno Ruined My Life: The Hostile Ambient Takeover Mix (Excerpt)

For this issue we are beside ourselves to present a live mix from Carlos Souffront (Interdimensional Transmissions/No Way Back), shepherding dancers through the strange hours of the night at the July 6, 2017 Surface Tension with Drew McDowall and Hiro Kone. The selections wend a path through a sonic labyrinth of underground burrows and secret doors with unblinking confidence; in this garden of forking paths, left turns are always the safest bet. 
 
Carlos cut his teeth on Detroit radio, curates cheeses in San Francisco, and DJs around the world.

No tracklist, sorry :)
