Honcho Podcast Series 127: Ricky Mawzlin

Deezy (@deezys) is an Arab-American DJ based in San Francisco and one of the co-founders of QUICHE, a party series that provides stages to emerging and established queer DJ’s. Influenced by his upbringing in Detroit, he’s developed a decade-long obsession for collecting and curating a wide range of dance music that reflects his passion for the history of the craft. This mix presents a selection of timeless house cuts that reflect on the urgency of the dance floor to “let your body be free”, a sentiment all too important in our current political moment.

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.

Our latest SORRYMIX comes via transdisciplinary performance artist, curator, and educator MIRA MIRA (@mirasamira ) 🎶  

Although we only met fairly recently at Honcho Campout, Samira and I are both from the same hometown of Winston-Salem, North Carolina!! Currently based in Brooklyn, she's also spent a good amount of time in the Pittsburgh underground; co-founding collectives like @dyspheric-x alongside XC-17 (@stephanie-alona-helen) and @yessimusic and Uhaul Disco alongside @johnnyzoloft. Her deejaying is a joy to behold - psychedelic intimacy, passionate + personal, sublimely jacked out improvisational genre-soup flow that I just can't get enough of. 

SORRYMIX29 finds her opening up the first party of our 2024 residency at techno living room @bossanovacivicclub in Brooklyn before sets from @mxblaire and myself. There's some words from Samira below on the recording ✨ Make sure to catch Nowadays debut at our label night this Friday alongside Hits Only (@davisgalvin + @aliberger) and myself! - @nickboydnyc

"It was my first time playing at Bossa and I was kinda nervous but also feeling a lot of feelings from the week. I was pulled by cops twice that week, the day before four cops stopped me supposedly for hopping a turnstile, stopped for $2.90... The day of I came in fresh off of a shift at Trans Pecos where I worked a benefit show for Gaza. It featured some powerful performances and a teach-in by DegrowNYC.

Usually, when I'm given opening duties I like to warm things up and keep things a little lighter but I had too much on my heart. I decided that it was more important to speak to what's happening in Gaza, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. I think the mix ended up being a chaotic reflection of what I was feeling. Hopefully it made people reflect with me and wiggle a little bit too."

As LNS stated herself: 
This was taken from a particularly nice Sunday morning after a long club night at Paloma in Berlin. The time when everyone needing intensity have gone home and those left are down to just vibe out. Magic!

T4T LUV NRG is about to rock your stereo this spring with a sequel to the label’s first release “Raving Disco Breaks Vol. I” (2018). Eris Drew wanted to create a new sound for the second volume of her acclaimed mixtape series instead of simply retracing the pure disco vibes of the original. Setting her sights and intentions on creating a rock ‘n’ roll infected house mix, Eris worked on building crates for the last five years, finally reaching an inflection point—a moment of concrescence—when she was ready to put the needle on the records and let the beats flow. “Rock The House” was born, a concept for Volume II built from musical fragments, memories, and synchronicities. There are no classic Big Beat tunes on Volume II, instead Eris kicks out the jams for this mix with non-stop house and breaks cuts featuring plenty of rockin’ vocal vamps, as well as the likes of Janis Jopin, Joe Strummer, Ramones, and Led Zeppelin—all sampled, scratched and dropped along the way. Both sides of the mix include some of her most personally coveted recordings. To gather these records, Eris spent decades identifying tracks from older mix cassettes recorded by her DJ heroes, such as Terry Mullan and Mystic Bill, as well as discovering many of the featured tracks through happenstance and countless hours digging through dusty bins and YouTube rips. Each of the tracks on Volume II are at least 20 years old—some much older—but fresh is the word here, and the word is freeeesh!

Now, as the snow melts and the flowers of rave romance start to bloom, T4T wants to know one thing…Are U ready to rock right?
