GRADIENT GUESTMIXES

Sets 2024

Vertigo Mixes ꩜

Neu-Romancer, originally from Fremantle, Australia, is a Berlin based producer, musician and DJ. Playing with the likes of Zanias (Fleisch) and post-punk band Ciern, her broad aesthetic entangles Dark Disco, Electro, EBM, Italo and sleazy beats along with a few unexpected surprises, bringing a playful light to the depths of the dark realm. Expect a solo release soon to come that nods sonically to late 80’s goth and leather studded dance floors.

For MNMT 387 we are excited to present the talents of Polar Inertia.

With a focus on the Sci Fi mythology surrounding techno music they provide a pulsating energetic session building with layers over the course of the one hour live journey recorded exclusively for MNMT in Paris, France.

Polar Inertia builds anticipation for their 4th chapter, soon to unfold but partially heard in this session.

Advice for the DJs, producers and artists of our community:
Always dig with an open mind and continue to learn about the history of the communities and genres/artists that inspire you. don’t constrain yourself to one genre or one vision of yourself - trust your ear, lean into change and new directions, your artistic identity is a constant journey! surround yourself with people that inspire you and push you to grow, but don’t compare yourself to them. Pace yourself - burnout is real!!

About the mix: This was recorded back in April at Vitarave 006, one of my favorite diy events Vitamin1000 throws annually in the Southern California desert - a friends + fam renegade celebrating our community and honoring how our collective started :) I leaned into the dark liminal space the desert can have at night - this mix blends some of my favorite tracks filled with punchy and electro-infused rhythms, bubbly and lush leads, and bass/dubstep/dnb surprises that I’ve been enjoying sprinkling into my sets.
