Shades of The Airplane, the Dead, et al!!!

V special guest for number ninety, Austin raised, now Brooklyn based Deep Creep ( @deepcreep88 ) presents a crazy mix in her signature style. Diverse, exciting and always fresh... Somehow always finding a way to blend smooth tech house and groove with surprising pops of dubstep, bass and beyond.

Resident at @thelotradio , regular at NYC favourite Public Records, and creative brain behind one of my favourite mix series @pipipigroup (www.pipipi.life), it's safe to say sasha is an integral member of the NYC scene. 

Admiring each other's series from opposite ends of of the world, we thought it'd be cute to publish our mixes for each other's series at the same time.

Big love and thanks again for this stunning mix Sasha!

Animix Ninety: deep creep

Purelink have emerged as underdogs of the Ambient and Downtempo scenes – the past couple of years has seen the group release a number of records which showcases a deep sense of understanding and ambition toward a genre which is often misunderstood and misheard.

Tommy Paslaski (aka Concave Reflection), Ben Paulson (aka Kindtree) and Akeem Asani (aka Millia) have been releasing music as Purelink – broadening the narrative around their sound as they weave intricate layers, samples and melodies together to create a new age world of their own making.

Their music is atmospheric and rooted in moments of personal reflection and self awareness. They rework material and samples to create something else entirely and the music itself is as much a soundscape or a backdrop to the world of the listener.

Recent releases have come on Peak Oil, UwU dust bath, Naff and Lillerne Tape Club.

Purelink: The Wednesday Alternative Mix

Juanita's Mix 096 with Kia @kia-sydney

Q. How would you describe yourself?
A. easily distracted, busy bee, passionate, nomadic, pensive.. :)

Q. What was your last memorable club night in NYC?
A. nowadays nonstop in may was epic.. that room is honestly the dream in the right context. the lighting and sound is so on point and the energy during my set time was so infectious (I played 3.30-6am before the legend PLO man). also special shout-out to groovy groovy which i played in july :) DIY parties are always extra special when done right

Q. Tell us a little bit about this mix.
A. this is a very honest/ sombre personal diary I’ve been compiling all year. it’s almost for me the musical embodiment of an infinite plane ride.. watching the sun rise and then set and then rise again. also an ode to all the new & old people that were in my life this year.

this year brought lots of purgatory moments, lots of solo transit.. times of isolation and change, also new friends, positive growth, and people coming into my life… so I guess it’s supposed to represent the ups and downs, change and the journey,

I was struggling to finish the mix and it was sitting at 80% complete for the last little while but I feel like the current situation in Palestine </3 really inspired the missing pieces of the mix. for me, I use music and storytelling as an outlet for frustration and emotion generally. lots of old classics in this and pensive moments.. hope the listeners can feel some of that emotion through listening too..

Juanita's Mix 096: Kia

Purelink have been described more than once as an "ambient boy band." (They themselves say "jam band.") It's not meant dismissively—the American trio purposefully mean to function as a band, even if their main instruments are laptops. Ambient might not quite cut it as a descriptor, though. The group's music crosses eras and scenes, touching on the late '90s clicks & cuts boom as well as the billowy ambient techno put out by labels like 3XL, West Mineral Ltd. and NAFF. 

Their most recent LP, Signs, released on enigmatic imprint Peak Oil (and one of our favourite albums of 2023), is especially impressive, made of stuttering rhythms and glassy textures. In other words, it's ambient-not-ambient. While members Concave Reflection, kindtree and Millia have all made excellent music on their own, something special happens when they come together.

Purelink's RA Podcast is another stellar contribution to our post-New Year's tradition, where we highlight a more laid-back sound to soothe weary minds and frazzled brain cells after the heavy holiday celebrations. This is 90-plus minutes of intricately textured downtempo, dub techno and even UK garage, all cut through with a floaty, almost drowsy quality, with plenty of exclusives and unreleased cuts from the likes of Nick León, James K, Downstairs J and more. It highlights Purelink's position as a bridger of worlds, sounds and tempos.

Amelia Holt here. One of my favourite human beings that crossed my path the last few years. From the late nights in New York last year, to her Public Records invite, to a b2b night in Radio Radio in Amsterdam. 
This is the recording from an amazing openingset at her own party called Honey Trap, in NYC. Getting into a spectrum of steamy downtempo, triphop & smokey deep dubs in underwater realms.

Knekelhuis # 113 - Amelia Holt

Show made by Jacky Jeane (Live recording @Badaboum for Bambi’s residency)
&ampquot;There was a giant woman in my room. I told my friends, but they didn&amp#39;t react that much. I turned around and read an article that said I&amp#39;d been dead for 120 years and was about to be reborn. I drank out of a jar containing a mushroom, removed the cap, inhaled the smoke and spat it out.&ampquot;


Poterne des Peupliers w/ Jacky Jeane (11/06/24)

Kate Miller and Emelyne blew us away with their opening set at the vivid opera house party. Big bold bassy goodness with classical tones flirting across deep polyrhythms. A set fitting of our most iconic historical venue. Mix up via Soundcloud 👉🏽

For our 12th edition of the CoziMix series we welcome queen of it all, basic chanel @basicchanel ! Chanel is a core member & lover in the electronic music scene venturing through the UK & beyond, leaving her mark wherever she goes. Not only is she a talented dj but also is the creator of platforms @untitled909 & Dawn Creatives and Wavdotworld... Chanel blesses us with her work ethic & passion for our scene pushing the boundaries and offering artists a space to showcase their talents. This year has proven Chanel is just as bold a dj as she is behind the scenes with shows at Corsica & Floorless festival this year :)
We are very excited to have her curate this beautifully crafted, transcendent mix filled with low end frequencies, deep based rhythms & percussive drums.


1. How and why did you get into producing / dj’ing?
I got into DJing through the nature of my job. I’m constantly digging and listening to new music, sharing it via Untitled 909 or just on my channels and this led to me starting a radio residency. I don’t know why exactly but putting myself out there as a DJ and learning to mix always terrified me. It wasn’t until last year that I pulled my first DJ mix together thanks to Bake who invited me on his Rinse FM show and shortly after that I was booked at Corsica Studios for my second DJ gig. 

2. Who, What/where was your most coziest gig you've been to or experienced and why?
One in very recent memory was the second edition of playbody in February. They host a very special ambient afters and I played the first one. During the three hours set, every time I looked up, everyone in the room was curled up into snuggle puddles, either deep in conversation or all loved up. It was so beautiful to witness this dreamy wind down moment after a very special party.

3. Do you consider yourself an introvert or extrovert in the scene?
My friends will tell you that I’m an extrovert but I definitely feel more like an introvert - I spend a lot of time on my own. My job relies on me being an extrovert so it’s very hard to balance sometimes and I’ll often disappear from my friends in order to recharge my batteries (sorry!) 

4. If you had to choose 1 track to vibe out too forever, what would it be?
Theo Parrish - Solitary Flight. This track makes me so emotional every time I hear it. 

5. What is your routine when preparing for a gig / production/writing session? Do you have any special remedies/ mental/physical prep/ places to go to? :)
I’ve only played two gigs so far but in the lead up to both of them I was over prepping my playlist and practicing whenever I could. Spending time with friends leading up to the gig to help distract my mind and doing some form of exercise, faves being running and yoga.
