EMC is glad to have Hue onboard!

Co-founder of @itsdelayed and @never-late, Hue is a dedicated artist and selector wisely merging experimental, ambient, deep techno sounds. Here some of his words about this mix: "The original idea started as part of an extended set that I play every year at our Delayed Barn getaways. There’s always a joy in having the opportunity to play long hours with no pressure to ‘get’ somewhere in a time frame. For this mix, I recorded it at home in my apartment with a few friends on a Friday night. I tried to capture that moment where things shift into gear as the energy starts to rise and excitement builds for what is to come".


Enjoy!

Juanita's Mix 100 with Ciel @ciel_dj

Q. How would you describe yourself?
A. a music maker with too much sincerity and a passion for sampling, film, and leftist politics

Q. What drew you to the music scene in the beginning and where do you hope to see it in the future?
A. Looking back at my life, I think everything from my birth led me on this path towards music. It was my first love. But as an only child, my experience with music growing up was always very solitary. I yearned to be part of a community radio station with Iikeminded music nerds, and it was working for a radio station eventually during my undergraduate that brought me toward DJing and rave culture. Back then I never thought I could do this full time, but once I got the chance to make a living doing this, I realized the scene was far from perfect, in fact it's very exploitative. I hope in the future we can find a way to fairly compensate music makers for the incredible gift of music they bestow upon the world, without becoming beholden to corrupt corporate & military interests. Artists can be hyper individualistic and self-interested, and I hope we can get better at looking out for each other instead of just our own paycheques.

Q. Tell us a little bit about this mix.
A. I wanted to present a different side of myself to international audiences on such a wonderful mix platform. Perhaps people outside of my home city of Toronto are less familiar with my downtempo sets, but it's been a significant part of my wheelhouse for years, and have gained even wider affection from me since I started doing a downtempo party in Toronto last year. Like I always say, 80-100bpm is the most natural tempo for extended human body movements. I also liked the idea of doing a mix that doesn't build in a predictable way, instead it waxes and wanes like the natural rhythm of life. So many of my favourite mixes build and release tension in a way that's very satisfying to listen to, the sounds intensify to a frenzy before disintegrating into nothingness. I wanted to play with that rise and fall and mix downtempo and dub with double time d&b in a non-linear way that is evocative of our most precious memories and tells stories we've only seen in dreams. Downtempo and dub also seemed like the perfect genres to play in the 100th mix for Juanita's, and in the lead up to my fav April holiday. :) I hope the listeners enjoy it.

Live @ Nowadays Nonstop // March 10 2024

Pure energy from one of electronic music's brightest lights: Sofia Kourtesis. Clamour had built around the Peruvian artist's poignant brand of house music following a string of EPs and 12"s, culminating in last year's Madres—a passionate, vulnerable and excellent album that resonated widely.

Madres packed in rare specificity for a dancefloor record, combining paeans to the power of sound with direct tributes to the neurosurgeon who saved the life of Kourtesis' mother. (Kourtesis even took him clubbing in Berlin as an additional thank you.) The album's earworm melodies and approachable aura helped launch Kourtesis from bubbling to breakthrough on the global stage. In both sound and impact, it mirrors another record: Swim, the 2010 classic made by Kourtesis' friend and mentor, Dan Snaith.

Speaking of @caribouband: RA.943 kicks off with a brand new Sofia Kourtesis & Daphni collaboration, before powering through summer-ready cuts from LUXE, Floating Points, IceMorph, DJ ADHD and an old Oliver Lieb classic. Even as her reputation as a recording artist swells, this power-hour mix is a sharp reminder of Kourtesis' DJing chops, teeing up a victory-lap summer ahead.

STUDIO is proud to announce Massimiliano Pagliara as its first resident. The Italian artist's lithe, soaring sonics fuse lush, cosmic house with driving 4x4 cross pollinations, all sealed with a throbbing undercurrent. A set from Pagliara transports you to the heavens; his ear for truly beautiful melodies plays against wiggly acid, interwoven diva vocals and naughty tribal rhythms. This mix sees him in peak form. Not a moment is wasted, and Pagliara dives headfirst into crystalline waters of pure joy.

Mandee aka Manmade Deejay is part of the SAFE family in Aarhus, Denmark, which houses labels such as Regelbau, Help Recordings, No Hands (and plenty more). 

His rich sound embodies the diverse faces of the collective, being difficult to define, yet with an unmistakable distinct red thread.

Dive today into almost 2h30 of mindly structured mix crossing through IDM & Electronica but also Detroit & Deep Techno.

GUEST SERIES : Mandee aka Manmade Deejay

I first met Pjenne in the Bookar Crater at the inaugural Inner Varnika festival in 2017. Only moments after our introduction we were hugging and swaying together, to an unforgettable set by my brother Ben. Little did I know she had already played at the festival before I’de arrived and would soon become one of my favourite disk jockeys. 

Pjenne’s sets all manage to have a unique and alluring atmosphere, a vibe that permeates itself no matter the style or genre she’s exploring. Each set brings a sonic embrace, a warmth similar to that which I felt when we first met. 

This mix is no different, a certified classic of dubbed jams mined from the depths of ’89 to ’03. Please Enjoy!

They claim to have listened to MMSU (whilst working in the store) more than anyone else. Maybe they are right, cos they nailed it.

MMSU 32 - LEGRAM VG (Oscar VG & Anaïs Liro)

Welcome to the latest version of Dream Software's: Virtual Utopia. The tenth update has been programmed by none other than Don Chich (@donchich), a core member of the corporation - that is, and always will be, close to the heart of the label. The southern hemispheres connoisseur of fine trance (and beyond) never fails to impress with his depth of knowledge, ability to synthesisiacally create detailed imagery in the minds of listeners, and his understanding of pace and progression throughout a set that keeps your desires and expectations in a harmonic symbiosis. Alex is a true creative in sonic storytelling, and this one is a timeless novel.

You plug in and feel the familiar sensation of shifting sensory alignment, preparing you for the program you're about to experience. As the landscape renders realtime and your retinas refocus you eventually make sense of what's in front of you. You accept the safety conditions and enter the program.  A dust-covered voyage through lands of future-past, heavy duty steel panels fitted together to the latest interstellar corporations safety 'standards' line the floor as pathways, half covered by orange sand. The panelwork extends to the external walls of buildings, doors, warehouses, and even vehicles - it must be something to do with the pressure or gravity on this planet? Extreme weather? It's hard to be sure. Either way you board a vehicle that feels as if it's waiting for you; the 30cm thick steel door slides closed behind you with a satisfying pneumatic locking system. An increasing drone of engines reaching power vibrate underneath you, the engines stabilise, and the vehicle slowly heads towards the sky, a heavy orange fog, ascending into a distant unknown.

Endless shimmering displays of various gas clouds, exhibiting far more than the visible light spectrum, populate your peripheral vision as you approach a distant quadrant of the net of reality. Constellations you've only seen and heard of through the Ethernet drift by as you allow the gravitational pull of the local solar systems to steer you through this section of deep space. A metallic asteroid being guided through the expanse of existence. Velocity increases as the sizes and number of planets do; light begins to bend in ways you throught unimaginable, layers of reality slowly tear away like burning holes through paper, and as the pace increases, what's revealed below seems impercievable to anything that exists on a dimension lower than it. It felt like a realm of vibrational egalitarianism emitting a pure omnibenevolence and omniscience that made you feel calm and at peace, an entity that felt familiar yet incomprehensible at the same time.

A computerised female voice explains it's time to turn around and head back to the initial coordinate of the program, and due to the rapid expansion of this part of space we must travel at warp speed to counter-act it. As the GForce increases the outside becomes a true spectacle; photons bending and stretching past you as the mechanics of physics become a series of unanswered questions, the phenomenology of 'now' proves the metaphysicality of existence is just as real as the physical. The vibrational information stored beyond of the quarks of existence is now visible to the naked eye and shares secret formulas of nature's code, only perceivable when you realise there is nothing to percieve.

Powering through the dark expanse at such speeds unveils the fracticality of existence. The mathematics of nature is all based on fractal equations and common series' of organic 'numerical' systems which are processed without the desire to categorise or understand. All of this information is embedded within the nucleus of every atom at a vibrational level. Does this mean music is somewhat a language of nature? Is the never ending, fractally peripheral progression of this program an understanding into natures way of doing? Or is this all something we are all too physical to understand?
