Dream Chimney 'Mix of the Week'

Mix of the Week #565: Break Mode - Cafe del Gumar - Volumen Ocho

Name: Alicia Greco
Alias: Leesh (@dj_leesh)

Location: Chicago

Influences: Flowers, prisms, the sun and moon and stars and planets, addiction and recovery, kung fu, interconnection, acceptance, love.
 
Affiliations/Residencies/Projects: Daisychain

Favorite Quote: “Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.” 

Advice for the DJs, producers and artists of our community:
You are good enough. Your voice is important. Do not let anyone put you beneath them, and if they try to - use your FORWARD ENERGY. When the punches get more intense, relax harder. Breathe. Keep going. You’ll get stuck sometimes, and then you’ll keep going. Things will change, and you will keep going. 

There is not something deeply broken inside of you. We all have parts of us that are hurt and need healing, but the core of you is not broken. The core of you is beautiful and whole. And that beauty can be found. Listen to your inner voice, speak kindly to yourself. Healing is not linear. When you feel the urge to isolate, reach out. It is OKAY to ask for help. Learn what form of self-care works for you at any given moment. You deserve to love and be loved.

Imposter syndrome happens to all of us. But all of those minutes you spend questioning your sound, your message, your decisions, your selection, your transitions - all of those minutes you spend questioning and judging YOU - enough time will pass and you’ll look back or listen back and you’ll be proud of who you are and what you made. The mistakes that felt blinding will fade. You’re still going to sweat about it, just try not to sweat too much because it will keep you from enjoying the moment. You are not a machine! You are a human! 

Fuck the system. Use that DIY energy to create the space you long for but don’t go it alone. Find others, build something, do it together. Play the game if you wish, but remember you also don’t have to. You can forge your own path, one that’s less trodden. It will be hard and you will have doubts but if you keep going, you will find authenticity. It’s never too late.

Know yourself. Learn to love yourself. 

About the mix: In all of these years, I myself have never made a Daisychain mix. Now, here it is. Talk about daunting pressure! But with these ideas of time, transition and change, I did a retrospective to create this concept: my sonic journey through Daisychain. I went back and listened to all of my old mixes to select tracks that were of utmost significance to me during this span of time. I wrote down 125 tracks on 125 post-its that took over the walls of my dining room. I somehow narrowed it down. [Continued on website]

With this mix Leesh asks for you to please learn more about and consider donating to:

❁ Dogs Matter: An organization that provides temporary foster service for folks going into rehab for alcoholism and addiction. (https://www.dogsmatter2.org/)

❁ FreeFrom: This LA-based organization was created to help survivors of domestic violence achieve financial security and help to dismantle the systemic economic structures that perpetuate the violence. As a survivor myself, this organization is doing something incredible and I truly believe in it.(https://www.freefrom.org/)

❁ Beagle Freedom Project: Beagles are the most used dogs for experimental testing due to their kind and trusting nature and temperament. BFP rescues and rehomes beagles from these labs to provide for them a better, safer life. If you know me, you know Yahtzee. He's the rescued beagle baby angel of my life. Rescue the beagles!

Break Mode (26/04/25)

This mix is from Palm Pilot and Break Mode under their moniker Freak Out! and it references a lot of things they play at their nights in Portland. They like to ride the wave where genres collide and create euphoric moments that can be exciting or excite them at least. They take the dancefloor along for the ride.

TP539 Freak Out! (Break Mode x Palm Pilot)

Mix of the Week #604 is by Freak Out!
Follow and include @freakfreakfreakfreak in your track ID requests

Fueled by an outlaw spirit, Freak Out!—the DJ duo comprised of Break Mode @gumar and Palm Pilot @palmpilottt —compels dance floors to do exactly that. Their sets stitch together rock & roll attitude with house, electro, EBM, and disco, creating a sound that’s as unpredictable as it is dance inducing.

Mix of the Week #604: Freak Out!

Auntie Flo aka Brian d’Souza is back with a new album 'Birds of Paradise' on his imprint A State of Flo which we've just reviewed on the site. We like Flo or Brian d’Souza as he is known to his mum. He wrote a really great article about how hard it is to be an independent artist these days and seems really honest both in his approach and his music. Which brings us nicely to this mix which pulls together all his nice afro ethno influences before zoning out into a horizontal come down... It's a lovely journey.



TP550 Auntie Flo

Christopher Tubbs has been releasing music for nearly 25 years now... Both as Antlantic Conveyor and under his own Tubbs name and in recent years he's linked with Eden Burns as Burns and Tubbs on Public Possession to release music that is just nailing it. It's awlays really well produced and has a perfect mix of club groove and melodic hooks to drive the music along. He's also been a DJ for as long as I can remember... So to the mix... All you need to know is it has A Guy Called Gerald's 'I Won't Give In' on it which is one of the finest records known to man... It also moves through lovely balearic stuff into more clubby moments... A very enjoyable ride.


TP551 Tubbs

Eternal Love are an Italian duo quietly making waves. They are about to release their second single on Music From Memory's Second Circle label and pull together the classic Italian sounds of Italo new wave, cosmic, tribal and afro through to 90s electronica but done with a modern take. A trusted source saw them play at the Living Room in NY recently and said 'they were just great. Like sweet 105bpm balearic business that you'd never heard before'. Which, lets be honest, sounds very much up our street. Enjoy the mix. It's super nice.

TP552 Eternal Love

An hours-worth of trippy sideways sonics from Stella Z... One of London’s rising selectors, Stella Z has had quite the 2025, with both her output as a producer and DJing prowess cultivated out of a youth spent in a mountainous seaside town in China immersed in Mandarin and Cantonese pop, post-punk, and international sounds.
