NOODS guestmix - 30 september 2021

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

EMC is honored to invite Ada Kaleh

Ada Kaleh is a musician and composer based in Bucharest, Romania and currently releasing forward thinking aesthetics on legendary labels @r-srecords Records and its ambient division @apollo-records, widely considered as the labels responsible for bringing Techno to Europe.
He's been releasing music for over 20 years under various aliases, but his current focus is on the Ada Kaleh alias, and the more recent techno persona, Supersanity. Ignoring genre boundaries, his music combines hypnotic rhythms with rich, naturally evolving sounds often inspired by literal and metaphorical trips and mystic experiences. Questioning the linear nature of time, each composition guides the listener though whirling soundscapes, DMT realms and time loops, creating an aural safe
space in which to explore. Propelled by a passion for 60's & 70's spiritual jazz, afro-beats and other psychedelic inducing textures, Ada Kaleh describes his recent musical endeavours as Quantum Techno.

Enjoy this fantastic mix he put together for us!

For U-R-S, sound is not merely an expression of what has already been mastered or performed. Instead, it’s a living archive, a musical encyclopedia in constant evolution. Much like a library of unread books, her studio is filled with instruments, recordings, and fragments of compositions that might never be fully realized but are essential in her potential. These sounds are not just records of past achievements but seeds for future experiments—a reservoir of possibilities waiting to be explored.
Every note played, every texture created, adds to a vast network of interconnected ideas. On U-R-S approach, the incomplete sketches, dissonant layers, and raw recordings are not failures or incomplete works; they are tools, ideas in waiting, elements of a larger and ongoing process. In this way, her mixes are not a finished product but an evolving workshop—a space where sound is continuously transformed, recontextualized, and enriched.
Artefact : 
Just as Umberto Eco’s library is a repository of future projects, U-R-S’s archive of sound is not a reflection of what has been definitively achieved but a workshop brimming with future explorations. Her music, like Eco’s library, embodies the ever-unfolding pursuit of knowledge, creativity, and discovery.

Lefse is a scandinavian potato flatbread. It has a mildly sweet taste and I normally prepare it as a dessert by buttering and sprinkling with granulated sugar on one side, rolling it up, and cutting it into finger food sized bites. Preparing and sharing lefse is one of the only Norwegian traditions I do. I make lefse once a year -- either for Thanksgiving or around Christmas. When I make lefse I make large batches. Scratch-made food is a great gift. And though the preparation/frying time increases with the batch size. The not-insignificant cleaning time stays mostly the same.

Cooking tools

- Flat griddle (can use a frying pan on a stovetop too)
- Lefse flipper 
- Rolling pin with rolling pin cover (you can just use a sock and rolling pin)
- A pastry rolling board with cover (it’s really nice to have a spare cover in case the first gets wet)
- Potato ricer
- A big pot (8qts work well)
- Baking sheet
- Mixing Bowl

Ingredients (~40 lefse)

- 5 lbs of potatoes (big russets are the starchiest potatoes and will produce the most workable lefse dough. However, yukon gold tastes better. I like to do a mixture: 3 lb yukon gold + 2 lb russet)
- 1 stick butter
- 3 ¾ cup flower (and a lot of extra flower to keep rolling surfaces coated)
- 2.5 tsp salt
- 5 tsp sugar
- 1 ¼ cup heavy cream

Prepping the potatoes (the night before)

Fill pot with water and salt and heat to a boil. Wash the potatoes. Boil until soft -- use a fork to test(~25 min). Drain water and let the potatoes cool enough to handle (don’t let them fully cool). Skin potatoes and remove all dark/tough growths from the potatoes. Dice the potatoes into chunks small enough for the potato ricer. Rice the potatoes while they are warm into a bowl/pot. Melt 1 stick of butter into the hot riced potatoes (dice the butter and mix it up!)
Transfer hot buttery potatoes to baking sheet and allow to cool on counter (the goal is to get moisture out of the potatoes). Transfer tray to refrigerator overnight uncovered (again we’re drying these things out).

Prepping the lefse dough

Hand blend flour, salt, sugar, heavy cream, and sugar with the riced potatoes from the previous night. Prep dough balls -- firmly hand roll dough to balls slightly larger than golf balls. Place on baking sheet and put in the fridge.

Preparing to roll and grill

Heat your griddle to 400-450 F (If you’re in the groove of grilling these things you can turn it up to decrease the cook time). Prepare your rolling surface and rolling pin with a generous coating of flour. The flour will prevent moisture from being transferred from the lefse balls to the rolling surface or to the rolling pin. Be sure to keep these things coated in flour! If wet spots develop on either surface rolling the lefse will become very difficult. You can use a sharp knife to scrape down sticky spots that develop. Follow up with excess flower and the spot and you should be able to recover. 

Rolling and Grilling

Grab a dough ball from the fridge and roll it out on the surface. The goal is pretty thin -- thin enough to almost be transparent. Transfer rolled lefse onto the griddle using the lefse flipper -- gently slide flipper under the middle of the lefse, gently lift up the lefse with the stick, if you experience resistance gently sweep under the lefse with the lefse flipper, place an end of the lefse on to the edge of the griddle and lower ½ of the lefse onto the griddle, then roll the lefse stick transfer the other half of the lefse to the griddle. Allow the lefse to grill on one side (30-60s) (until some light brown marks form). Flip and cook the remaining side for (30-45s)
Transfer cooked lefse to a place to cool before stacking (they can start to stick together if stacked). 

Storage

Fold the cooled lefse sheets in half twice. Stack 3-5 pieces and put into large ziplock bag
Store in refrigerator for short term or store in freezer for long term
