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

Hello! I’m Ivy (she/ her) and I live in Eora (Sydney), Australia :-) + I have a 2 year old cat called Frankie 

Who/what currently inspires you music-wise that has nothing to do with music?

I’d say that my emotions generally inspire me, as well as different times of the day. I tend to get the most ideas when I’m trying to figure out what music to listen to in a particular setting - like whether I’m walking around the neighbourhood at dusk, at the park on a beautiful day, cooking something really yummy and comforting or if I’m in a bad mood and need to let some angst out haha


Favorite sound of the city? Describe how it makes you feel. 

I don’t know if this is specific to the city but I love the bird calls that magpies make - I can hear them outside my house early in the morning and it makes me feel like I’m on holiday in the country somewhere :-)

Dream line-up? 

Sandpit Alias - sundown to sunrise 

Who do you think is the most underrated artist of our time?

Alex G <3  

If you had to describe yourself as flavor, what would it be and why?

Cinnamon - a little spicy but also sweet and delicious ;P

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

Such a tough question! If I had to name a few - Nectar, Pure Space and Vibe Positive for always putting endless love and care into their events - from lineup curation to constantly working on how they can make spaces safer, more accessible and representative of Eora/ Sydney’s diverse music community :-) 

What was your best moment on the dance floor?

In 2019 Moopie and Bayu closed a small festival called Echo Flats that was a few hours drive away, they played like 4 - 5 hours of the best, grooviest tech house I’d ever heard until the sun came up - it was a life changing morning :’)

What is your favorite temperature? What kind of music goes well with it? 

Probably something between 25 - 28 degrees celsius with some downtempo RnB :-) 

Any advice to upcoming DJs? 

Practice makes perfect! 
Preparing/ pre-planning your sets - especially when you’re nervous about a gig
Backup your shit (!!!!!!)

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

More 24hr licences for venues - less gronks - more tech house

Ivy - 32˚C

Advice for the DJs, producers and artists of our community: Don’t gatekeep, don’t rush, find people you’re excited to share music with. Support your peers (listen and share their mixes, buy their music, go to their gigs)! 
The mix I initially prepared for this series I recorded a couple of times -  it felt like I was trying too hard to make something work and it just wasn’t sitting right… but after a night of djing at my friend Amelia Holt’s crib and then watching our friend liivwutang literally tear the club apart, I recorded this session the next day. I wasn’t recording with the intention of using it for anything so there was 0 pressure, I just plugged in my usb and tried to ride the vibes I was blessed with from the night before and something good happened. So record all your sessions and more importantly stay inspired/energized by the work n skills of other djs bc why did we wanna start doing this in the first place? some dj rocked your shit fr.

Since the launch of their much-loved party brand in 2002, Giles Smith and James Priestley – Secretsundaze’s founders and residents – have dedicated their work and output to ecstatic club experiences. 

A record label followed suit, as did their booking agency, long-running NTS radio show and a stack more DJ and production projects undertaken by the pair. Plus, of course, plenty more parties. 2022 marks 20 years of Secretsundaze, with the duo currently working on some exciting anniversary celebrations – but we’ll leave them to reveal those in due course. 

Here, the pair usher in the new year with their first new mix in 18 months. “The mix is direct and club-focused,” they tell Crack Magazine. “All-vinyl, with our typical Detroit and NYC stylings before moving into some more pushy atmospheric, European bizzness.”

....

A line of scantily-clad gay boys chain pass a bottle of poppers, then prance into the waves like background extras in an Esther Williams production. Trans masculine boys beam elatedly as they peel off their shirt, revealing fresh chest scars; years of physical and emotional weight finally released from their bodies. A cacophony of bouncing beats emit from tents with Dominican, Puerto Rican, and Colombian flags, battling for prominence. A handsome dark-skinned black man with 8-pack abs hands over a laminated cocktail menu. Sun-kissed legs intertwine, sand gets under swimsuits as lips and tongues tango. A group of friends giggle sharing greasy cheeseburgers and fries as salty as the Atlantic.

The rhythmic hum of crashing waves hypnotizes me into a blissed reverie. I wake up from a snooze. The evening sun grew as large as a trans girl’s newly-minted breasts. It casts a deep golden shimmer over the waves that picked up their crash landing. Tension escalates. A group drunk from a mix of too much sun, too many Nutcrackers, and too little food start fighting. Hair pulled. Glass bottles crashed. Others look on with a half-wilted cigarette and raised eyebrow.

It’s time to go. We wait for the Q35. The artery that connects the beach to Brooklyn and Queens. The floor dusted with scattered bits of sand. We dazedly meander from the bus’ last stop to the shuttle. The shortened train waits for passengers to load, ready to bring us back into reality. It runs raised on an elevated track; looking out the windows—over seaside homes—waves continue their Siren call, singing its memory of bliss, chaos, and sublimity. The track veers left. Through the other side, the blistering orange sun silhouettes the skyline far on the horizon. Glistening reflections of the sun ripple across Broad Channel. Both window views are filled with the imbued navy of water. Egrets rustle through the reeds, wings cast wide, mirroring the 747s taking off and landing at nearby JFK. 

The doors open. Bewildered international travelers — dragging suitcases bursting at the seams — confusedly eye the passengers with scantily-clad red & pink skin, salt-dried hair. The A lurches on. More working-class New Yorkers board the train, then we descend back underground. 

The ant-swarm bustle of New York builds as we get deeper into the city. I'm happy. For a moment, the stress releases its grip from my mind and a wave of calm keeps me at ease. 
....

WHAT IS ALWAYS?
The smell of the ocean

WHEN WOULD YOU NEVER?
Wear white shoes after Labor Day.

TELL ME ABOUT YESTERDAY
Forgiving myself for past mistakes
Learning to say no
Prioritizing rest
Quiet nights in
Being ok with my own pace

Always Never Yesterday

ANY019: Aunt Acid

An all-vinyl mix of dance music encompassing boogie funk, electro, deep house, soul, and disco. 

I want this mix to reflect my history with DJing and my current approach and attitude towards the craft. It is a product of humid Pittsburgh Summers spent in the DJ booth, out of town digging missions, and the friendship and respect of my peers and mentors. It's imperfect, a bit dusty, sometimes a little off-kilter, but completely me. Here it is- fresh for '22! 

All wax, one take. 

Tracklist & IDs on request.
