For the extended Q&A and OG pi pi pi track game please visit our website ~~~~> pipipi.life <~~~~~~~~

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

My name is Taya (she/her), I live in Berlin. I am Belarus born and raised, and World shaped and formed

How did you get your DJ name?

I was messing around with a friend, and we were laughing at how absurd this name would sound on a line up.

Said in a serious deep male voice

Yogic

Teleself

DJ LENTIL

After some backs and forths I came to terms with being the ridiculousness I want to see in the world

Fav bpm and why?

140 is the bpm I am truly comfortable in. If I go higher I am ramping it up. Slower than 140bpm is basically downtempo

What is your favorite party/collective where you reside and why?

Climax - these women are making their own space and crafting their own vibe in the current techno paradigm. Their mission and ethics are on point, while their music tastes reside outside of time.
3 X L - the existence of ambient influencers has been confirmed
D.U.M.P. - most importantly, a party. Bring what you’ve got and you are welcome here for who you are, but not for who you think you are ;)
Astral VIP - bend your mind with the music and bend your music with the mind.

What do you think future generations will think about the 2022 sound?

“What a strange loop”

What would you like to see in the future for the dance community?

Post capitalism. Humans gathered all the gun supply on Earth, loaded it on a big spaceship and sent it off into the cosmos. The rich are abolished. Reparations have been paid. Therapy has been mandatory for yt men for a few decades now. There is no such thing anymore as a “bedroom producer”, we record our music directly from our brains. Rave Etiquette and Rave History are the subjects studied in middle-school. There is no talk at the raves in the front of the dance floor - we have telepathy for that. DJing as a craft remains the same because it has always been ahead of its time.

DJ Lentil - 202˚

The Energy Workshop hiatus is over.
A huge welcome to @tangeladj.
Eora based Tangela is on high rotation and frequently booked due to her highly developed aptitude to adapt to any dancefloor. 
Tangela has been gigging hard and as a contrast to a lot of her bookings, wanted to make something introspective and thoughtful.
A deep thought out piece that reflects her musical influences and takes you on a journey that spans multiple genres.
An absolute privilege to have her contribute to the series.
Enjoy,
stretch and flex!

Taking us deep into the first night is Zara's incredible closing set, recorded from 03:30 - 05:00 on 16/09. Memories of textural elements layered atop of speedy basslines are now for us to listen back to. Also to note, the cabins were shaking.

For the newest Animix i'm very happy to host an exciting, bass-heavy mix by one of my favourite DJs at the moment, Amsterdam local @jasminhoek

She is in many ways a perfect representation of the bright, bubbly and diverse style that is common amongst so many of my favourite Dutch DJs and producers, whilst at the same time she is certainly paving her own refreshing and unique style. 

Residing in Amsterdam & studying gender studies, Jasmin hosts her own radio show "petting dogs" on Stranded FM.  She frequently featured on De School lineups before its' closure this year, and i'm excited to see where she goes with her DJ'ing in the post-covid music world.

Thanks again for being a part of the series Jasmín! <3

Dublin-based DJ EMA is one of the minds behind Woozy, a club night in the capital dedicated to celebrating low-end frequencies and pushing contemporary soundsystem culture.

Earlier this year, alongside co-founder and fellow Dubliner Sputnik One, she launched the night's label arm with a V/A compilation that highlighted several underground artists manoeuvering in sub-heavy realms — the likes of Jurango, Kamus, Kellen303 and more.

Her regular slot on Dublin Digital Radio is yet another space to spread her love of all things bass, but every now and then you might hear a cheeky dose of trance of UKG. She sticks to her guns for this week's Wednesday Alternative mix, though she takes the levels up a notch launching us into 150+ bpm territory... hold on to your hats!

DJ Voices (@latenitesbookclub) keeps things leftfield and intriguing without loosing sight of dancefloor utility.
