wav.world emerged out of a long-running chat exchange of mixes, tracks, and some playful speculation: If you were going to make a platform for DJ mixes in 2024, what would it look like?

Mixes are a unique type of musical expression. They capture a specific moment in time, determined by the knowledge and style of the artist. A mix is as important a creative statement as an album, remix or EP. One mix can change an artist’s career, one mix can open a listener’s mind to something completely new.

𝔂𝓸𝓾𝓻 𝓯𝓪𝓿𝓸𝓻𝓲𝓽𝓮 𝓶𝓲𝔁𝓮𝓼 𝓪𝓻𝓮 𝓽𝓲𝓶𝓮𝓵𝓮𝓼𝓼.

We miss the importance that mixes used to have. So, we made a platform for mixes.

Each wav.world mix gives one artist the time and resources to create whatever kind of mix they want, to share something sonic about who they are and what they love.

Every wav.world mix will feature a longform interview with the artist which gets to the heart of what moves them—in music and in life—through text, video and image. Each edition of wav.world will feature the commissioned work of music journalists, visual artists and graphic artists.

Machine Woman invited BLUME - 11 March 2024

Hi, we are back, let's not make a big thing of it! It's an honor to have GBD on the series.

“Long live the intifada! Free Palestine. Blessings to the Martyrs. This mix is raw output from a fragmented mind. Residues of insurgency across genres and decades.”

Gianpaolo Dieli (AKA gbd, PKA Savile) is a non-binary dj and producer who has been an integral player in the American dance music underground for over a decade. A Michigan native who began their career in Chicago with a residency at hallowed Smart Bar, gbd has built their practice around an effort to create equitable environments, imaginative visions, and disruptive programming.

Since their international debut at Berghain/Panorama Bar in 2016, Dieli has toured 10+ countries and 30+ cities across North and South America, Asia, and Europe, spreading their raw sound and unbridled energy with an open heart. In the intervening years, they’ve received support from some of the most notable publications and outlets across dance music and culture; the likes of BBC Radio 1, Red Bull Radio, Resident Advisor, i-D mag, Beats in Space, Ghostly, RinseFM, NTS, Truants, DJ Mag, Mixmag, and Groove Magazine.

Called “one of the most exciting secrets in US club culture” by Boiler Room, Gianpaolo currently works and resides in Brooklyn, New York, and holds a residency at Public Records. In 2023 they changed their artist name from Savile to gbd - marking a new beginning in their artistic journey and a continued commitment to unearthing dance musics' deepest sounds.

As always, thanks for listening.

In-demand DJ and radio host, producer of sound system shakers for labels like @Timedance and Ilian Tape, promoter and label co-founder at re:lax, Lauren Bush, aka @renildn, has become a seemingly unstoppable force in UK club music through a combination of hard work and self-belief. Alongside a pulse-quickening Recognise mix, she speaks to Jasmine Kent-Smith about formative club experiences, the importance of role models, and the pursuit of authenticity.

Paris-based bass devotee @beatricemasters lures us across a tightrope walk of a mix

"This mix is a recording from La Machine du Moulin Rouge in Paris for Positive Education Festival's event in January 2024. I was opening for Flowdan, Toma Kami and Bianca Oblivion, and was never happier to be doing a warmup, as the festival's crowd is super open to more experimental music. Therefore, I felt free to explore my favourite mood which resembles me the most: building a narrative from about 120 BPM to 140 BPM, navigating between psychedelic, syncopated techno and minimal deep dubstep. At the peak of the set, when the room started to full up, I deliberately took the energy down a notch with heavy contemplative dubs. The set felt like walking on a tightrope, balancing intensity and murkiness, bass and techno, playing with tension. It was one of the best times I ever had DJing."

Simon Aussel is known for a particularly wild DJing style and leftfield bassy bangers, and it's his curious and playful approach to clubland that's won him loyal fans over the years. Whether photographing drink tokens from gigs or creating an 8-bit version of his debut album on a Game Boy cartridge, he seems to approach every endeavour with childlike joy and wonder—rare qualities in an industry that can leave so many jaded.

The Nantes-born, Paris-based artist's love of club culture, digging and world-building has set him on a blazing path in club music. He's released an exceptionally wide range of music, including a Memphis rap tape for Trilogy Tapes, dubstep-trap-jazz hybrids with Egyptian singer Abdullah Miniawy and deadly hard drum for Livity Sound. His mixes, meanwhile, are fast becoming DJ lore thanks to his knack for connecting seemingly opposed genres like new wave and fast techno. Look no further than his now-infamous Dekmantel Selectors set from 2021 or a marathon back-to-back with Skee Mask in 2022. 

As the French DJ gets more comfortable with story-telling, he's getting more personal and focusing on deeper, slower sounds. That's evident on this RA Podcast—six months in the works—which incorporates woozy downtempo, weighty dub and bleepy beats. Of course, in the chaotic middle section there's plenty of huge basslines, plus old-school electro, acidic techno and even a bouncy edit of the Montell Jordan classic "This Is How We Do It." Showcasing his quirks, influences and growth, this is Simo Cell in prime time.

Kevin McHugh has spent the last few years redefining his sound as LA-4A, focusing on what he terms "roots techno" after a long period working as Ambivalent. This direction is at its most palpable on his debut album Phonautograph, which is inspired by the redundancy of futurism. Tracks are titled after and inspired by obsolete technologies, from the titular early sound-recording device and the semantron, used to call monks to prayer, right up to the relatively freshly dumped dialup (which you can hear on the track); "Technologies that helped create a ‘tomorrow’, but were quickly obsolete by the time that tomorrow arrived," as LA-4A puts it himself. The track we're premiering here is "Capacitance", and appropriately enough it's brimming with electrical charge, acid fizzing through its core.
