at the end of the day it's a game ov two halves really init.

@aya_yco has dazzled the UK underground with her experimental club productions and genre-hopping sets, which she demonstrates in her exhilarating Recognise mix. The London-based, Huddersfield-raised artist also speaks to Sophie McNulty about how her creative upbringing in West Yorkshire informs her work, and how her hyper-detailed process allows her to create art that is genuine

Corin - 040122

Podcast #55 stammt von Jana Rush (https://soundcloud.com/planetmurecords) aka https://soundcloud.com/jaru-1, einer der interessantesten Künstlerinnen Chicagos, der Stadt von Dance Mania. Das Label um DJ Deeon und seine Crew haben Jana musikalisch großgezogen und geprägt, seit sie im Alter von elf Jahren anfing aufzulegen. Keine Überraschung, dass sie in dieser Szene später auch DJ Rashad und andere Teklife Künstler kennenlernte. Dennoch fehlte ihr damals das Vertrauen in ihr eigenes Talent und Jana entschied sich, sich zunächst auf einen "richtigen" Job zu konzentrieren. In ihrem Artistprofile kann man zum Beispiel lesen, dass sie bei der Feuerwehr arbeitete, als Chemie-Ingenieurin bei einer Ölraffinerie und gerade als CT-Scan Assistentin im Krankenhaus. Musik war dabei immer eine Art mentale Rettungsleine für sie, etwas an das sie sich klammmern konnte wenn der Stress des Alltags zu groß wurde oder die Depression, mit der sie kämpfen musste, die Oberhand gewann. Indem sie diesen Struggle in ihrer eigenen Musik einfließen ließ (und immer noch lässt) hat sie ihren eigenen Sound und so am Ende zu sich selbst gefunden. "Painful Enlightenment" heißt dann passenderweise auch ihr aktuellstes Album. In den letzten Jahren konnte sie nicht nur als DJ Dancefloors auf der ganzen Welt beglücken sondern auch einige grandiose Releases auf Labels wie Objects Unlimited oder Planet Mu veröffentlichen, wo auch ihr neues Album "Dark Humor" im März rauskommt. Im April steht auch eine kleine Tour durch Europa an, die von Corona hoffentlich nicht vermiest wird.

Um ihren Style zu beschreiben greift das Label "Footwork" definitiv zu kurz, vor allem da Jana selbst eher ein gespaltenes Verhältnis zum Genre und seinen Konventionen hat. Schlauerweise macht sie jedoch diesen Konflikt zum Ausgangspunkt ihrer musikalischen Experimente und zitiert, destilliert und dekonstruiert fast jedes bekannte Footwork Motiv von sich wiederholenden, wild zerstückelte und neu zusammengesetzte Vocalsamples, 808 Drumsounds, Rhythmen, die ihren Puls zwischen schnellen Offbeats und swingendem Halftime-Feel verschieben bis hin zu smoothen Jazz-, Rap- und Soulsamples, die auf die reiche Musikgeschichte des Genres und Chicagos selbst verweisen in eine düsterere, dystopische Version. Besonders in ihren eigenen Tracks drückt sie dieser Mischung einen Stempel auf, der von ihrem persönlichen Struggle erzählt, vom Widerstreit zwischen dem Etablierten, "Erwachsensein" und mit "richtiger Arbeit" Geld verdienen, Alltagsstress und Depression auf der einen Seite und Innovation, zu sich selbst finden, Vertrauen in die eigene künstlerische Stimme aufbauen und Halt in der Musik finden auf der anderen Seite. Die Grenzen zwischen DJ-Set und Live-Performance verlaufen dabei fließend, denn ihr Samplepad hat sie meistens auch beim Auflegen dabei. Big ups to Jana for this breathtaking mix!

Infinite Sequence Podcast #055 - Jana Rush (Planet Mu, Chicago)

Om Unit B2B Djrum - Live From Love Saves The Day 02ND JUN 2022

Living Room n°51 ~ @beatricemasters

q. pls introduce yourself
a. I’m Beatrice, a Franco-english DJ, producer and musician based in Paris, France. I’m born on the 16th of April 2000 in Paris and I grew up in the country side in Burgundy. I studied sound art for 5 years in Strasbourg and now I do music as my profession. 

q. is there a story behind the mix? how did it come together?
a. Dubstep and ambient being the main genres that I DJ, I thought I might make a mix that combines the two, like Gabber Eleganza’s Hardcore Soul Mixtape, where they take intros/buildups of hardcore track, but never leave the drop. So I took dubstep tracks with melancolic intros, bridges and outros, and made this ambient mix on Ableton. 

q. in your opinion, what would be the ideal circumstances to enjoy your mix?
a. That’s a hard question. I’d say in a train on your way to a party in a city. The dubstep samples will excite you for the party to come, but the ambient will make it nice to watch the landscape go by out the window with the sunset.

q. describe a favourite object in your living room...
a. I don’t really have a living room at the moment because I’m moving between studio or shared flats sublets for short periods, but I like to bring with me my perfume which has been Eden by Cacharel for the past 8 years and has a beautiful packaging that looks nice in a living space.

q. are you working on any projects right now (music or not music)?
a. I’m working on trying to produce music  which is a hybrid of techno and dubstep, and working on a label of my own that I will launch by the end of the year.

LA’s Carré kicks off the first in a two-part mix series curated by Darwin, marking a decade of the SPE:C label. Known for her subversive sets and a sharp focus on dubstep, leftfield techno, and bass-driven sounds, her contribution to the RC mix series delivers exactly that.

Darwin: "I met Carré a few years ago when she booked me for her party at Fast at Work in LA. I’d already been playing out her dubs quite a bit and had asked her then to sign to SPE:C. It was really inspiring to meet another woman as dedicated to running events and as passionate about dubstep and bass music as I am. Carré’s flair for lush, dreamy atmospheres is unmatched, and I feel honored to have been able to give her a platform to showcase that. She’s also a killer DJ and played one of the sickest after-hours sets at REEF last spring. You can check out her skills on this mix."

RC:149 Carré

Kinetic club energy generated by one of the sharpest talents in drum & bass and beyond.

Much of the best electronic music rests along the axes of versatility and curiosity: being able to a pull a broad array of influences into your orbit and alchemise it into something distinctive and fresh. That's gyrofield to a tee.

Kiana Li began making waves in drum & bass as a teenager, years before setting foot in a club or experiencing the sound on a proper rig. That's a key factor which helps explain how the deeply-considered, Hong Kong-born producer arrived at a style that eludes easy description. Li, one of the foremost trans women working in drum & bass today, marshals complex rhythms like a sluice and has a knack for detailed bass programming that floods the stereo field without ever dominating it.

2024's spellbinding These Heavens was the apotheosis of an already quietly prolific catalogue; we named it the seventh best record of last year, but in truth, it could have actually nudged up a bit higher.

Li's RA Podcast is a blur of rapid motion, featuring stalwarts (Dillinja, Skee Mask, Calibre, upsammy, Marcus Intalex), contemporary limelights (Nestax, Ehua, Aquarian, Maude Vôs), 17 of their own productions and a grip of truly uncommon selections, like Burnt Friedman & João Pais Filipe's "18-140." It's an ambitious mix from one of the most exciting talents at the vanguard of outer-zonal club music right now.

Mix 068 - HIBIKIII Guest Mix
————————————
For Mix 068, I've enlisted my good friend and fellow Ableton soldier @hibikiii333! I discovered HIBIKIII on the tenth episode of Apply Pressure Radio and have always really enjoyed the energy and sound selection she brings to her mixes. I've been following her along her producer journey and have really appreciated and respected the time and effort she puts into her craft. Doing all this while balancing her career as a Graphic Designer takes a lot of energy and I'm lucky I get to share some of HIBIKIII's energy with you right now!
