Fact Mix 915: Jasmín (Jul '23)

[Scroll down for ENG]

Yakın çevrem zaten biliyor; bu toplama serisine başlama fikri uzun bir süredir aklımın bir köşesindeydi. Küçük yaşta alternatif ve sonrasında underground müziğin farklı türlerine ilgi duysam da, iyi pop’a olan zaafım hep yerinde saydı - hele ki 90’larda :)

O dönemde altyapılarına bu kadar dikkat etmediğim bazı albümleri yeniden keşfettim (bazıları o zaman da kendini belli ediyordu bu arada). Kasetlerde yer almayan, sadece CD ya da dijital versiyonlarda bulunan bonus parçaları da avlamaya başladım ve bu av hala sürüyor. Ana temamız house etkisinde 90'lar Türkye'si pop'u diyebiliriz kısaca, ezbere bildiğimiz şeyler de var içinde...

Bu parçaların düzenlemelerini ve remixlerini yapan prodüktörlere, 7-17 yaşlarımı geçirdiğim Hatay Dörtyol'da her gün uğradığım Mega Müzik Market’e, İstanbul ve Hatay arasında kimi zaman gullümde akan ve kimi zaman da ağır bully'lenen küçük kendime...

My close friends already know; the idea of starting this compilation series had been lingering in the back of my mind for quite some time. Although I’ve been interested in various alternative and later underground music genres since a young age, my soft spot for good pop has always remained—especially in the '90s. :)

Back then, I didn’t pay much attention to the production of some albums, but I’ve been rediscovering them lately (though some did stand out even back then, to be fair). I also started hunting down those bonus tracks that weren’t on cassettes, only on CDs or digital versions, and this hunt is still ongoing. We can say that the main theme is '90s pop from Turkey with a house influence—though there are a few songs we know by heart in there…

Shoutout to the producers who arranged and remixed these tracks, to Mega Müzik Market in Hatay Dörtyol, where I spent every day between the ages of 7-17, and to my younger self, bouncing between Istanbul and Hatay, sometimes having a blast, sometimes getting heavily bullied…

Hessle Audio presents Jasmin - 19 December 2024

The in-demand US DJ unfurls dubby, dance floor poetry.

Where does sentimentality fit on the dance floor? For Liv Klutse, AKA livwutang, the answer is everywhere. The New York-based DJ is guided by a deep desire to stir connection, finding themes and points of correspondence across an impressively broad range of sounds, tempos and eras. 

This emotional intuition lends Klutse's sets a depth few others can match. Her selections can seem unpredictable, rooted in an appreciation for feeling over genre—hard and soft sounds are carefully balanced with surrealism and bursts of nostalgia (for instance, the Lazy Dog bootleg edit of Everything But The Girl's "Tracey In My Room"). But as versatile as she is, a few signature traits colour her style, such as a love for dubwise music and rhythms from across the Black diaspora, alongside a refreshingly introspective energy that invites dancers to find moments of meditation—even during peak time. 

A former staffer at our New York office, Klutse has long merited an RA Podcast. Her slow-burning blends and mystical selections have graced near-enough every major festival and club out there, from Dekmantel and Sustain-Release to Nowadays, where she's been a resident since 2022. Despite this cross-continental touring schedule, she still plays plenty of grassroots venues—testament to her days with TUF collective and Orphan Radio in Seattle, as well as her enduring belief in the power of DIY, community-orientated dance music. 

"How did you come down off life?" James Massiah asks at the beginning of RA.975. Across nearly 90 minutes, Klutse's downright beautiful mix seeks answers to this question, reflecting on hedonism in times of political decay. She's in full-on dub mode, moving through meditative bassweight, glitchy house and flat-out weirdo techno with a deftness we've come to expect from one of the most promising, singular voices in dance music right now. She's got there all on her own terms—and we couldn't be prouder.

A clinic in minimal from the elusive Acting Press boss. 

Why do certain sounds cultivate a cult following? Simply put, it's often because they resist easy consumption. PLO Man and his imprint Acting Press lean into this. 

Searching for the Berlin-based DJ and producer, you won’t find much online presence, interviews or conventional PR. What you will find, if you look hard enough, is a catalogue of records and mixes with a kind of tape hiss charm (a spiritual successor to Basic Channel and Chain Reaction, but scuzzier and lighter on its feet).

Founded in 2015, Acting Press once seemed to belong to the short-lived "outsider house" trend, but is now synonymous with a certain strain of modern minimal, one that is analogue, spacious and pointedly opaque. PLO Man's output is equally sparse by design: this week, he joins the RA Podcast with a characteristically elusive style, accompanying the near two-hour mix is a one-answer Q&A that gives almost nothing away.

Stripped-back, ever-so-slightly sleazy and coated in dust, PLO Man's RA Podcast continues that lineage in style. Opening with the featherlight microhouse of Margaret Dygas, RA.988 unfolds into a carefully curated spectrum of minimal, dub and deep techno. Among familiar names—look out for the blinding Rhythm & Sound and Moodymann blend—are deep cuts and left turns alongside the odd outlier, like lovers' rock pioneer Gregory Isaacs.

Like the best of his forebears, PLO Man wants RA.988 to take time for you to settle in. But once you do, you won’t want to leave.

the 10th mix in our naffcast series comes from Jasmín. An incredible Amsterdam based dj and producer Jasmín. Here's a few words from the artist herself :

This mix was recorded at home during a heatwave in Amsterdam. The faint voices and warm, slightly distorted drums echo the hazy, feverish heat of humid summers in a city for me. Most of these tracks are older, have been with me for years, and I keep coming back to them. Others are more recent discoveries, found in digital back catalogues.

French born but Amsterdam based for almost 20 years, Kléo draws on her work as a visual artist when she's painting colourful musical landscapes in the DJ booth. She also takes the same approach when programming soul, jazz and boogie at Café Belgique. It is a homely space that suits her heartfelt sounds, while her Red Light Radio show has become synonymous with music that is just as sensitive. After appearances at both Lentekabinet and Dekmantel Festival before now, she finally brings her bright and beautiful approach to our mix series.

Over the course of two hours she delves deep into lots of cuddly strains of house music from deep and jazzy to romantic, melodic and late night. Her tender touch draws you in close and keeps you there with lots of warm chords, pillowy pads and plenty of love struck grooves. This is one perfectly suited to long winter nights and snuggling up with close friends.
