Lente Kabinet Festival 2023

Clara! at Lente Kabinet Festival 2023

"To me, this mix feels like being in the midst of a psychedelic thunderstorm. At times, it feels like the sky is about to fall and the earth is about to crack open, but it comes and goes in cycles. There are moments that seem to suddenly spit you out into a cerebral fog, and as the clouds break, you're in awe of yourself & your capacity for existence. Sub-bass frequencies roll through like thunder claps, stirring up innate, carnal energy. Syncopated, twisted, ethereal rhythms encourage you to completely lose yourself. I wanted to capture the feeling of moving through moments of intensity and coming out on the other side, feeling relief while still preparing to ride the next wave."

Mx. Blaire is drawn to the magic that’s released when humans convene together. Organizing events in Boston, she strives to curate environments where folks can release their inhibitions for true self-expression and encourage celebration of radical love. She is an organizer and one of the resident DJs of the Queer dance collective, Boudoir.

They like to float through multiple genres during any given set and find joy moving through different sonic textures while keeping a fluid groove. They let their emotions flow through in sets to open up a conversation with listeners and dancers alike. A humble guide for helping healing bass tones and rejuvenating frequencies pass through speakers.

Name: Yana Kalanzi 
Alias:  Nalule (@nalule)
Pronouns:  she / they
Location:  ‘Vancouver, BC, Canada (Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), and səl̓ilwətaɁɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) unceded ancestral territories) 

Influences: Yemaya & Oshun, ancestral spiritual practices, my pastoral cattle-herding ancestors (Batooro), The Nile River, bachwezi mysticism , Maasai warriors, esotericism, western red cedars, mossy forest grounds, ferns, rainforests, shrooms, marijuana, black rave culture, UK club genres, Eastcoast club genres, bass music, flow artists, sex workers, healers, shamans, priestesses and indigenous matriarchs.

Affiliations/Residencies/Projects: I am the founder of my collective, Neptune7, which currently is a rave series that prioritizes showcasing QTIBIPOC artists who share a mutual affinity for DnB club genres such as : Jungle, Dub, UKG, breakbeat and Footwork in Vancouver,BC. Currently, I am in the process of launching my monthly radio show / record label, Neptune7 Records in the fall at Bside Radio which can be streamed on Twitch. 

My earnest intention with this project, Neptune7, is to create innovative events which blend rave culture with holistic medicine. (I’m currently in college studying Acupuncture & Traditional Chinese Medicine with the goal of becoming a registered acupuncturist) In my free time I am learning how to use various flow arts props and learning the art of fire performance. My studies and hobbies have played a tremendous role in driving my passion to creating artistic spaces which incorporate holistic modalities of healing with movement, dance and rave culture as these spaces are all sites of catharsis and wellness.

With this mix Nalule asks to please learn more about and consider donating to:
❁ Ugandan LGBTQ Emergency Fund 
https://www.gofundme.com/f/euganda-lgbtq-emergency-fund

In March 2023, Ugandan MP's passed a bill imposing the death penalty for homosexuality. In the run up to the bill's passing, a new wave of anti-gay animus had taken hold. In February, alone more than 110 LGBTQ Ugandans reported incidents including arrests, sexual violence, evictions and public undressing to advocacy group SMUG. The bill further puts LGBTQ people at risk by threatening landlords with imprisonment. 

This fundraiser is run by a group of LGBTQ Ugandans and UK allies from the arts, electronic music and activist community who are rallying to directly support at-risk individuals.  The fund acquired will go directly to those affected, paying for costs such as
- Bail for LGBTQ people inprisoned 
- Relocating to a safer area
- Emergency accommodation costs
- Legal and medical fees 
- Visa and transportation costs for those leaving the country 

❁ Kílala Lelum (Urban Indigenous Health and Healing Cooperative) is a health center borne out a desire to partner Indigenous Elders with group an experience group of inner-city physicians, nurses and allied health professionals to go beyond the traditional clinical care by providing physical, mental, emotional and spiritual care to Indigenous  communities within Vancouver's Downtown Eastside. Kílala Lelum is based on a holistic and culturally-based health center which provides dignified care which is Indigenous-focused and Elder-led and trauma-informed.

Kindergarten with Davis Galvin and Ayesha B2B Despina B2B Sobolik @ The Lot Radio 07-29-2023

Hi! We are back from a little hiatus and to kick off our return we have a special live mix from our friend JIALING @pbnstrawberryjam from their Nowadays debut. JIALING (big J) is a Taiwanese American producer, DJ, musician, and interdisciplinary artist. Born and raised in Baltimore, they were a classically trained cellist for 15 years before transitioning to visual and sound art. Currently based in New York, they have monthly residencies on Balamii and Hyde FM, co-founded WOE (Baltimore) and is a member of Ayi Ayi (NY).

We are happy to be back and we want to mention that we will be tweaking the series a bit. We will now only release one mix a week so we can have an emphasis on our curation and our art design and tbh our mental health since there’s only two of us. We will be responding to emails and DM’s shortly to start scheduling. As for the comp3 , that’s on hold atm but once we find our footing again we will start reaching out for tracks. 

As always, we hope you enjoy. 

have a good day
