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

@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.

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 

Tracklist: 

Alexander Scriabin - Simple Affections
Francis Plagne - 07
Autumn Fair - The Town Clock
Laila Sakini - Unreleased
William Henry Meung - Airport Song

LOUD live @ Origin Festival 2017 [Full Set]

Canadians Pender Street Steppers appeared as if from nowhere in 2014
 and quickly became one of the most visible acts in house music. Their loved-up sound was frayed and roughhewn, sprinkled with lovestruck vibes and built on ramshackle drums that sounded immediately aged yet thoroughly new and fresh at the same time. Their penchant for new age romance and earthy aesthetics are mirrored in the buy-on-sight Mood Hut label they run with a larger collective, and their DJ sets are just as relaxed and big hearted, which immediately stood out at Dekmantel Festival and Dekmantel Selectors over the last couple of years.

Across an hour, the famously reticent pair—they’ve done no interviews—effortlessly segue through afro grooves, boogie laced disco and lo-fi house. It’s a timeless mix of sounds that could work a small back yard gathering as much a bigger club setting, such is its irresistibly colourful and emotive sense of charm. That being said, it's probably no surprise that having these two fine and talented chaps on our podcast series is a big honour.

Since the start of 2019, we've been recording pretty much every minute of every function that's happened at Nowadays. We're lucky enough to be in a position to host the most amazing DJs in the game every single week, both from within the scene here in New York and around the world, and it only felt right to try and share some of the action with those who couldn't make it and with those who want to relive it.

The first installment comes from beloved Nowadays resident and queen of the twilight hours, Beta Librae. Bailey's contributions to the vibe down here, both as a friend, a DJ and a dancer have been tremendous, and what she served up on the hi-fi back in early February blew our minds. This excerpt is taken from the last two hours of the party, just after Noncompliant had finished, and it flawlessly stitches together mutant electro oddities, heady, tribal bombs and super tight, tech-house rollers.

Big thanks to Bailey for the killer sounds, to Lou for the mastering, and to all the hardcore, late-night/early-morning heads for their energy on the dance floor. It might get foggy in here sometimes, but we see you.

After providing a wonderfully jack-tastic remix for Apollo View's Delta V EP last month, we are over the moon to welcome super-star in the making, Violet back to ITI. 

This time, she's done us a DJ mix of music from the slower side of the tracks; genre hopping throughout and delivering something fresh at every turn, whist never getting up much above 100bpm! The Naive label boss exhibits her wide and varied musical appreciation, and we're thoroughly mesmerised. Turn it up!
