TRENCH Radio: 10 Of The Best Mixes This Week

WavyWednesdayVol.88

This is who I am

Refuge Worldwide resident @Stem whips up a vortex of percussive, experimental club music for the Fresh Kicks series, and chats to Niamh O’Connor about her interest in dance genres’ cultural histories and evolutions

Fresh Kicks 155: Stem

Stem, aka Jenny Cheng, is a London-based DJ and radio host. Stylistically, her curiosity-fuelled approach sees her prioritising energetic selections and explorative sounds from a global network of artists above any one genre or mood in particular. Very much in keeping with the musical melting pot bubbling away within the capital itself. 

Threading breakneck footwork and explosive East African club music with flashes of eerie ambient and Afro-Caribbean rhythms, Cheng’s Crack Mix is a fast and heavy thrill ride through some of her recent favourite tunes. Expect “many colours and flows” stitched together with serious velocity.

My EE mix is made up of so many artists and labels that I respect and admire. Their ideas, values and approach are very inspiring to me and every track moves me in a certain way. As you dive through the mix there are changes in mood and pace, with each track pushing forward a new transition. It includes new loves, old loves, stuff I play out a lot, stuff I don’t get to play out. 

I am shifting between different styles and feelings at the moment, I often find it hard to describe what they are with words.. I think it’s better that way though. The mix is a good representation of me at this point in time, and what I try to achieve in mixes. Connecting threads, progression, a bit of all hell breaking loose, haha. I hope you find something in it that you like!

Bio:
Jenny Cheng’s time as a DJ has been relatively short but she has found herself a good footing. Picking up the skill very quickly was not surprising given her musical background, and in a few years has earned gigs at Griessmühle and Corsica Studios amongst many others. She takes influence from the different cities she’s lived in, and a recent move back to London sees her continue to grow as an artist. With her wealth of influence and knowledge she has a knack for creating a vibe, and wishes to simply to share it with a room of open minds and no constraints - this is shown through her colourful and vibrant sets.

*Soso also contributed a new hot one, "ZZC4502"  to FT's FIGS Compilation, ongoing thru all of Oct 2019 > https://futuretimes.bandcamp.com/track/zzc4502

FT051 - Hot Wax from one of DC's freshest! 
OUT IN NOV on 12"/DIGI

Soso Tharpa is one of DC's best young producers and the A Side here, "Decode" has been the secret weapon in a ton of DJ mixes over the last year. A true wtf acid beast, "Decode" bangs traditionally and levels the place. B Side "Sea Mojo" takes the sharp drums and filtered moves somewhere jumpy and PlayStation-tech'd, with a nice bubble. Powerpack. Tip!

Stem is the new guise of London-based DJ and radio host Jenny Cheng. Sonically her DJ sets and radio shows move through deep bass explorations and crisp shuffling rhythms that feel distinctly fresh and distinctly UK. These energetic selections have seen her grace the airwaves of stations like NTS, Noods and Rinse as well as holding down a residency, Sublime Portals, last year on East London's Netil Radio. 

Having recently moved in a new direction with her DJ name, we thought what better time to introduce the world to the sounds of Stem...
