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

Hi i’m Gigi — he/his — Austin, TX — I was a childhood ice hockey star

How is everything going with you right now?

I have been fortunate enough to be well.. been using this year off from work to dive into a practice and learn some discipline.

How did you get your dj name?

I got it from my partner, Mimi — she flipped my original g-name into gigi & it stuck. I never liked my birth name much anyway + it’s cute to match.

Who currently inspires your music-wise?

ry, tito fuego/mister water wet, charles, bobby, nueen, boundary, jel, purelink, pascäal, ian kim judd, jung dj, shiner, downstairs j, hysterical love project,  perila, oli/px, thurlow joyce+ many more.. so many friends exploring inspiring places these days

If you had to describe yourself as a flower,which one would it be and why? 

Mimi says “frost flowers because they’re ephemeral”

Favorite weird drug/mind altering experience?

Sensory deprivation tank before the rave at Shirley’s Temple (r.i.p.)
What was your first gig? How did it go? 

A show put together by Ben Aqua at an upstairs club on downtown Congress that I don’t recall. I was 18 & had only started making music on ableton a few months prior, and played a live set that mostly consisted of pressing play on a 30 min composed production mix with a little knob twiddling & dj drop triggering. considering that, I’d say it went pretty well

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

I think it’s obvious, but increased representation without tokenism. also, turn away from the dj & look at your fellow dancers.

Any cool releases upcoming for Gi Gi this year? 

I don’t want to speak too soon, but I do have a couple of records in the pipeline with quiet time & index, both of which I’m very excited about. working on some more uptempo material as kept that should be seeing the light of day soon as well.

Gi Gi - 79˚ Cloudy

Animix Forty One presented by Austin, Texas based DJ/ Producer Gi Gi ( @keptmale ) with a beautiful trip. The artist focuses on deep and contemplative listening in this xtra long mix.  

In their own words, Gi Gi writes, "the idea for these mixes is to be a collection of longer-form tracks (7+ min) that demand (imo) to be heard front to back, producing a patient wander of a listen, and to serve as a greatest hits of sorts of songs that are especially personal/special to me-- as opposed to just an attempt to show off the deepest digs i've stumbled on (a thought pattern i think i and many other selectors can get caught up in at times..)."

Love the idea behind this mix, and it's the perfect extended listen for a sunny or rainy day wherever you are. 

Gigi released an LP on Quiet Tapes earlier this year, and has a few more LPs in the works, due out later this year --https://quiettimetapes.bandcamp.com/album/lumino-pleco

Thanks again for this one, Gi Gi!

@milliamusic

"For this mix, I wanted to try something a little bit out of my comfort zone. Instead of a dance mix I went with the downtempo & trip hop sounds I've been inspired by as of late."
Milla's group project, Purelink, just released their debut full length "Puredub" via Chicago's Lillerne Tapes, the outfit's take on ambient, dub, downtempo grooves, and more.

JS, Mister Water Wet, Pil, Ryan at Plant Town (9/15/20)

Boorloo/Perth's @mikemidnight has kindly compiled some tracks that have been inspiring his recent productions - all bursting with bliss and imagination. This is some of his fav downtempo from over the years, in particular those which embody a sense of safeness in darkness.

On the releases front, Mike has a track coming out with https://soundcloud.com/theory-therapy later this year and may also be self-releasing an EP :)

Here, he's aimed to gather classic downtempo songs from the period which embody a genuine sense of humanity and honesty. More than merely nostalgic, this mix recalls connection, community and all that is beautiful and shared <333

☼ Pairs perfectly with late autumn sun ☼

feeling blessed to debut our mix series with a super speshy one by the bestest @perila
 
recorded live at co:clear in The Old Hairdresser's, Glasgow

jack and elaine’s mixes feature consistently in many of our lives. 

it means a lot to share a recording from them. I don’t know how to express it. maybe like diane once said, it’s a secret about a secret. the more it tells you the less you know.

this one features music that seems to capture the gravity of one place in exchange with a new space and force. a vaporous melange of melancholia and euphoria. metronomic and infinite. that dose of diazepam, guiding the slow death of a year.
