My debut album Grow! is out April 23 <3

lyrics:

Remember when you got quite close (oh)
You sent me gush of your love
But it will never touch a ghost in a stroke
I know that, know that, know that, know that now
There’s a butterfly that flutters quite close (ah)
Quite close to me, oh my
And I would never have my eyes open
Don’t care, don’t care, don’t care (oh)

Found a clover that cares for good luck,
Now, come on go and hide it (oh)
Hush, hush, it will never let you go
Got lost in a dream now hit the light switch on

Remember when you got so close, so close (oh)
Now I’ve got my heart wide open
And I don’t ever ever wanna go back, go back
I don’t wanna go back

So be careful, careful now
Hold your breath (ah)
I wanna be your sidekick
But this dream is getting violent
Got a demon, try to fight it
I know you’re the only one I wanna care for
Gush, gush, gush, butterfly be careful
Cause it could be all gone in a stroke

Remember when you got so close (oh)
You sent me gush of your love
And your love could kill a ghost in a crush
I know that, know that, know that, know that now
There’s a butterfly that flutter quite close (ah)
Quite close to me, oh my
And know I got my heart wide open
Alright, alright, alright (ah)

You put me in a spell for the best
Caught me in my feels, I cannot have it (oh)
Drop a tear, drop a tear, make it last
All this glitter in my eyelid (oh)
Remember when you got so close, so close (oh)
Now you got my heart wide open
Never let you go, I hold back, hold back,
I won’t let you go back

Care For You

a ghost has no consciousness
this spaceship is laid to rest
i’m floating in consciousness
this eternal family laid to rest

laid to rest
laid to rest
laid to rest

an opened box of cursedness
i reach inside a dead birds nest
tangle my soul around my neck
this eternal family laid to rest

laid to rest
laid to rest
laid to rest

slip away from my wicked ways (forfeiting every)
i can't find my (altitude)

slip away from my wicked ways (forfeiting every)
i can't find my (altitude)

slip away from my wicked ways (forfeiting every)
i can't find my (altitude)

Eternal Family

For extended Q&A + OG pi pi pi track game please visit our website ~~~~~> pipipi.life <~~~~~~~

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 :-) 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYEYc8Ge3nw&ab_channel=crocdoc2 

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

Favorite Quote: “Bam” - Emeril Lagasse

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.”

q. pls introduce yourself
i'm z, walker in words and navigator in sounds; from lisbon and based in brussels

q. is there a story behind the set?
for every mix i make i try to bring up the general feeling inside me through that phase - still quite unconsciously - i just need to feel that it fits what i'm feeling in order to fit each sound together, being solitude, spontaneity, infatuation, confusion... more practical criteria is to use mainly new sounds, sounds from friends, small projects, and mostly non-cis-male artists

q. what's the best way to enjoy your set?
probably alone in a writing setting, journaling, or putting an idea onto paper

q. describe a favorite object in your living room...
i have many so i'll choose three: a poem written with heat on an copper covered aluminium sheet, given by a lover; a photo of patti smith live in the 70's given by a dear friend; a steel rod with this shape Ω i found on the street. can't help but also say my piano

q. are you working on any projects right now (music or not music)?
i'm preparing for a concert in the forest this month, and planning a writing workshop in france later in september with a dear one too

Island Of Angels w/ Marc O'Callaghan & Mark Allen Soul - 07/07/2022

MUBI and NTS affiliate @florencesa takes the reins for our latest Concept In Practice mix!

Between MUBI's ‘Notebook Soundtrack’ mixes and ‘Sounds on Screen’, an ongoing series for NTS, the Berlin-based curator is typically found paying homage and drawing attention to some of finest movie soundtracks around. Here though, Florence’s mix serves as a companion piece to a recent film project; a time capsule of sorts reflecting on that chapter.

“I see this as a mixtape accompaniment put together whilst shooting a film earlier this summer. The film, a diary piece now in the edit, is surrounding my experimentation with the 2 cup manifestation method, or something like that lol… A mix of some of the tunes and words that soundtracked my world during the production and shooting process. A sonic time capsule of sorts, wrapped up with thoughtz, feelz n fun. Featuring classiques, music from heroes, friends and filmic snipetZ of a journey from start 2 finish.” – florence

Concept In Practice: florence's 'as it comes' Mix

@danielnessmusic bares his soul on new EP ‘Hell Is A Room’. Melding gossamer folkbient and trance euphoria with trace echoes of jungle and garage, the French-Icelandic artist’s latest effort toes a line between optimism and melancholy. 

Representing a departure from more club-focused output, all in favour of placing vocals front and centre, it seems fitting that he’d contribute to our Concept In Practice series with a mix centred around traditional songwriting.

“This mix is an amalgamation of two worlds I hold dearly. It combines traditional songwriting with a range of electronic soundscapes and compositions taking inspiration from ambient, shoegaze, trance and club music. At its core, 'Writers Guild' is a praise to songwriting, moulding songs I grew up on such as Tom Waits, Mugison or Gillian Welch with music from the present. 

Folk music however is at the centre of this mix as it's a beautifully stripped back yet intricate and very communicative world which is an important part of my musical upbringing and has always impacted my own practice. It's vulnerable, melodic, blunt and versatile in its form and an ever-expanding realm that I think shares many similarities to the more-electronic tracks featured. 

'Writers Guild' is a little exploratory trip into how these worlds coexist in my head and an attempt at re-contextualising the timeless efficiency of folk music through the use of resampling, pitching and effects.” – Daniel Ness

'Hell Is A Room' is out now.

"They entered the structure at dusk, barely able to comprehend its magnitude in the dim red twilight of the setting Agamid sun. Extrasensory hallucinations, infinitely folded spaces and quantum impossibilities had quickly separated Reppi T. Lizrd from the Gecko Force. Now his air supply was dwindling, and his limbs were numb from wandering endless corridors and strangely illuminated hallways, yet his determination to reach the centre of the palace only grew. The one-eyed tyrant was waiting."

Hailing from the land down under and currently taking the northern hemisphere by storm, @reptant_the_lizard joins forces with TRUST for his 'Halls Of Perception' EP - five tracks of blistering electro bass, percussive beat workouts, and bleepy moments of transcendent bliss.

Recent @tobago-tracks debutant @canhota leans into nocturnal, dreamlike sensibilities for our Concept In Practice series.

An extension of her TT debut, the Brooklyn-based artist has recorded a mix evocative of nighttime scenes. Like ‘Night Glow’, where smudged r&b nocturnes gave the impression of sleepwalking through an unconscious mind, Swaya’s ‘Cycles of the Night’ mix recalls the blur of city and streetlights from a night bus’ top deck.

“Having spent the last 3 years working in recording studios, night clubs and DJing, I've been reflecting on what it means/how it feels to live a largely nocturnal life. I wanted to bring together music that relates to life at night whether through feeling or sonic and lyrical content to hone in on those experiences. Walking outside at night, dancing deep in the rave or being up late with a lover–these are some of the moments I was thinking of when putting this mix together.” – Swaya

Ahead of returning to @gabbereleganza's @neversleeplife label, our latest mix finds Lizzitsky on an ambient tip.

The British-Venezuelan artist heralds a sophomore release with a contribution to our Concept In Practice series. Where both 2020’s ‘Molto Crudo’ EP and the latest effort, ‘Miasma Jester’, consolidate avant-hardcore tendencies with dirgey electronics and dembow flourishes, his 'On the Verge of a Crisis' mix treads a gentler path.

“A selection of ambient tracks recorded between the end of the Cold War & the 2007-8 financial crisis. Mood: Mille Plateaux, Cuts and Clicks, G3 Macbooks, Affordable Housing, ISDN & Quake III mods.” – Lizzitsky

'Miasma Jester' is out March 17th on Never Sleep.

@laila-sakini comin' thru with a beautifully meditative mix ahead of performing at Sweden's Intonal Festival.

Sakini’s music is quietly captivating; textured and bewitching, with a pervading sense of plaintive serenity. Each release draws from the same sensuous palette while being a world unto itself. Intimately beautiful and always providing room for personal interpretation.

As expected, the mix goes some distance to emulate those enigmatic, daydream qualities. 

“Performance, life, lights is a mix of warped regal ideas, drama and DIY, hierarchy and performance, context and setting.  

Lavish strings, stage ready pianos and ambitious compositions provide a crystalline opening yet after some twists and turns things eventually devolve into rudimentary components, the basics of life and sound, ending with the most primal instruments - the strings plucked from inside a piano, the  voices of town folk and found percussive home sounds.” – Laila Sakini

Alexander Scriabin - Simple Affections
Francis Plagne - 07
Autumn Fair - The Town Clock

made a rmx of the amazing track god's chariots by oklou. i was quite fascinated with the arpeggios and the first lyrics. i thought i'd share this bop. had lot of fun doing it.

original track : www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvlJ3keIJdw

the whole album is such a nice pop record.

Note that all profits will go to the Utopia 56 association which does a great field work helping refugees in several part of France where our government is failing to take care of this, only using tools of repression...
