When are you releasing that bomb @jialing.bigj?

Juanita's Mix 068 (420 edition) with @DJ-SWISHA

Q. How would you describe yourself?
A. I’m a very reserved and private person. Definitely on the “let the music speak for itself” vibe when it comes to my career but I also find myself applying that to every facet of my life the older I get. People are usually surprised when they meet me in person because they assume I’m more “out there”, which is hilarious to me. My real friends know I’m a big clown though haha.

Q. How long have you been a part of the NY music scene?
A. That’s honestly hard for me to answer personally. I was born in Philadelphia and grew up in Los Angeles but my first trip to NYC was in 2015. I came here already having a solid year+ of remote collaboration with Kush Jones and got to know a lot of people born and raised here. Since then people also assumed I’m from the Bronx, which I’ll gladly joke around with but I actually moved to there late 2017. For the first year living uptown people didn’t register that I was based in NYC because 98% of people in our music scene have never been to the Bronx. Once I moved to Brooklyn in 2019 it was a pretty aggressive upward trajectory. It’s always wild to remind myself the first time Kush and I played Bossa even was 2019.

Q. Tell us a little bit about this mix.
A. Recording this mix was a fluid expression of myself, how I listen to and experience music while high. The only prompt I gave myself was “what do I want to listen to on 420?” and I recorded it first try. I never go into DJing anything with a lot or if any preparation. The process of putting my mind to a subject, theme, type of crowd and space in the moment then going off that energy is such a release for me. Once I see the effects of those decisions on my end, I go on autopilot and the consistency of the outcome is secondary in my opinion.

Excited to say that tonights release is a mix by Devoye recorded at the amazing @nowadays on April 1st

“Wanted to channel the spirit of pumping 90s dj energy. In honor of playing with Claude Young I wanted the set to be raw, full of risks, going with the progression of energy in the room. Riding the ebb and flow of mixes. Going with the progression of energy in the room; focused on telling a story throughout the set. Id describe it as fun, erotic, hypnotic, sexy, chunked and funky. One of my favorite things about the mix was including records i got the day of and 6 years ago.”

I was lucky enough to be able to catch this set in person at nowadays, but if you weren’t able to make it that night you can check out the two hour set on our SoundCloud!

We hope you enjoy 🤸‍♂️

Fact Mix 857: Sarra Wild (May '22)

Nick León is part of a newer generation of Miami producers who infuse modern-day club music with sounds from around the region, everything from Miami bass to reggaeton. In León's case, his most recent—and most exciting—music has focused on beats inspired by reggaeton and its sub-genre perreo, but with a musical palette that speaks to a love of electronic music from Aphex Twin to Burial to music on labels like NAAFI and TraTraTrax. (This is a predilection he shares with DJ Python, whom León just launched a new party with.) 

It's on the latter label he released the Rompediscoteka EP, one of the canniest genre fusions he's done yet, meant to hark back to the feeling he had when he first discovered reggaeton. (It came with eye-opening remixes from Maral, Kelman Duran and Henzo, producers whose personal-but-global approach mirrors León's own.) He also head a head-turning EP on Future Times, which threw Miami-style electro into the mix, with an ambient touch.

Like his productions, the young Miami DJ's sets can range from slow and low to high and tight, and his RA Podcast captures León in peak-time mode. It's a Latin-spin on everything from techno to tech house to cool-kid club music, with selections from Nico, Simisea, Siete Catorce, Ricardo Villalobos and MM adding up to a vibrant and rhythmically restless hour that soars across genres and scenes.

Bold rhythms in this week's Rhythmic Culture podcast, as Basel's Mukuna sets the tone for 60 minutes. Being a member of Basel’s collective and label Somatic Rituals, Mukuna is at the helm of the cities forward-thinking scene. Since being a kid and taking Senegalese drum lessons, the main essence of his music has been percussion. As he got into clubbing and electronic music, he began exploring every corner of this newfound playground in which he explored a variety of polyrhythmic percussions and pounding beats. This mix is just a perfect reflection of all of that – we're in for a treat from start to finish.
