For the extended Q&A please visit our website ~~~~> pipipi.life <~~~~~

Introduce yourself? Pronouns? Where do you currently reside? 1 fun fact about yourself?

Hello :) I’m Jodie (she/her) and I currently reside in Vancouver, Canada. I’m left handed lol.

Who/what currently inspires you music-wise that has nothing to do with music?

My mom inspires me, she’s the strongest most resilient person I know.

How did you get your DJ name?

My mother’s last name is Overland.

Fav bpm and why?

It’s a tie between 150 and 160 right now. Always been attracted to fast, somewhat intense music.   

Dream line-up?

Akua, DJ Stingray & Purelink 

How do you typically prepare a mix?

I’ll spend a decent amount of time digging (maybe 1-2 weeks depending on the deadline). For some reason I like to try to stretch the limits of what BPMs to play. In this mix I start at 85BPM and finish at 160BPM. I’ll usually make a rough mix, listen to it a couple of times, and run through it again the next day with a fresh set of ears.

Who do you think is the most underrated artist of our time?

Purelink & Millia

What is the theme song of your life?

The Sun Can’t Compare - Larry Heard presents Mr. White

If you had to go back in time music wise what era would it be and why?

Probably late ‘90s early 00’s, the music then is a lot of what I play now.

Azo is a lover of the cosmos; if she could have it her way she'd be soundtracking the furthest reaches of outer space. And perhaps she will in the future, bring on ecological space tourism!

But until billionaires don't have the monopoly over space travel, Azo's doing plenty on planet earth, particularly in her home of Brussels. In club world she's the mind behind three parties, Queer Future Club, Bénédiction Rituels Exceptionels and Electronic Solidarity, all of which seek to make spaces more diverse, inclusive and safer.

You'll find her behind the decks at these parties and other spaces and places across Europe, as well as providing cosmic soundtracks on her monthly transmissions on community-led station Kiosk Radio. Of course her own productions are from an intergalactic sphere too. Pulling from acid, techno, electro and hardcore, and using her arsenal of vintage synths and drum machines, her releases for labels like Duality Trax, LYO and Biologic - the home of her new release Space Tourism - are full of bright, futurist sounds to lift you up.

Her mix for us, which she suggests being listened to on a sunny dusk or dawn, moves through varying tempos and moods, and captures the cosmic sounds she loves so much.

Glen S is a name that you might forget but a man you will remember. Known for his high energy, spacey and euphoric sets, Glen is backing this up with a string of releases on local and international labels, delivering his signature prog and trance orientated sound. 

This mix is a 3 and a half hour long journey that was made for intergalactic travel. Taking you to heights you didn’t know you needed to get to, with stops along the way at your favourite trance destinations, before arriving at planet electro for the last hour.

Off the back of his recent ARIA nomination for Best Cover Art, Eben (aka @ekzander) continues to create a surrealistic atmosphere in his portrait series for phase 080-089. Focusing on his fascination of eyes and the human form, he explores abstraction of digital painting mediums and traditional techniques to create warped techno figures.

Exclusive: DMX Krew - The Wiggly Worm (Remix)

For his third outing on the label DMX Krew returns to Super Rhythm Trax with a six-tracker showcasing a wide repertoire of his musical madness chasing listeners, dancers and DJs from House to Techno while adding the game, his game, a slight Acid-note (from time to time), in short: Second Moon EP is a classic before it's out already. The B1, a revisit of The Wiggly Worm, comes in with a lush bass line topped with a sweet Acid-line and the "wiggly worm" vocal, which - in the course of the track - is enriched with various effects just like the bass- and synth-line of the track. Once again it proves to be true that it's not the high amount of elements, which make a track an outstanding one, but rather few ones combined doing the job just as DMX Krew does and did with this one. Chapeau!

DMX Krew's Second Moon EP will be released on Super Rhythm Trax on August 22nd, 2022.

When you really think about it, it only makes perfect sense to have Lemyn take up the next slot within Hyper Violet Sequences. Her full throttle audio assault back at our debut event in March was one we have not forgotten in a hurry. 

The Leeds based DJ is a genius at blending gritty breaks alongside bass heavy selections with ghetto-tech curveballs gaurunteed. One of the key things about her musical style is that whilst she knows how to tough it out on the decks, she never loses the element of fun within her mixes.

This is one whole hour of Lemyn at her absolute pinnacle!
