Best mix ive heard in ages - can’t get enough

@kmos i am begging for the ID on this one! awesome mix :)

As part of RA2122, our ongoing celebration of 21 years of club culture, we'll be featuring some of our favourite DJs from around the world, highlighting the parties or clubs most important to their lives in dance music. DJ Voices will be playing our RA2122 party in New York this Saturday, November 29th.

DJ Voices is a prime example of an artist that really can do it all. The New York-based artist, originally from Florida, has been an integral part of New York's electronic music as a DJ and as a booker at one of the city's best venues, Nowadays. Voices got her footing as a selector as a founding member of the DJ collective Working Women, but these days she performs solo through her Nowadays residency and her radio show on The Lot, Nothing In Moderation. Her sets are known for their psychedelic dynamism—her selection, with which she prioritizes "energy and drama over genre," often flits from rolling low-end music, uptempo tracks (that she then slows all the way down) and wonky leftfield beats. 

"It would be hard to overstate how much Nowadays is part of my story at this point, personally and professionally," Voices told RA in the following interview. Her approach to assembling this mix she recorded for us makes that abundantly clear. The mix she recorded for RA—which sprawls out over almost three hours—features tracks that she has either played in her five-year tenure at Nowadays or that she plans to play there in the future. She organized the set in a similar way to the way she goes about her Nowadays sets. She kicks off with fast and nimble bass music ("I like to start fast in hopes of people dancing half-time"), then transitions into a knotty web of dubstep and bright percussive tracks and closes with weightless jungle. The playlist she sourced from to create this mix featured music from every Nowadays resident. It's this same thoughtfulness and meticulous attention to detail that has made her a household name in her local scene.

@livwutang has really arrived on the world stage in the last year. The Seattle-raised, NYC-based artist came up through DIY raves and pirate radio and is now a regular at cult clubs and festivals across North America, as well as being booked in for next year's Dekmantel Selectors. Her sound freely moves between dub, Central and West Africa rhythms and a history of Black American music. All this comes out in her widescreen sets, her curation of the Eto Ano label and her hosting of their show on The Lot Radio.  

The confidence of her selections and ability to shift through moods from the serene to the deep, the energetic to the melodic is evident in this week's mix. It slowly works through the gears from dubbed-out depths to buoyant club rhythms via tribal techno. There is an ever-present mysticism and spirituality that adds an extra layer of intrigue to the body-popping rhythms and it's that which will keep you coming back for more.

Advice for the DJs, producers and artists of our community:
Be yourself and do your best to let go of "perfection", it just does not exist. Ride the rhythm not the cue mark. Practice with any two records and/or tracks. Play YOUR beat in the mix, your friendships and with life in general. Less surrender to being salty may not be so cool these days but it will welcome a more patient attitude with yourself and help those that you love.

One of the minds behind the inimitable NYC record label @inciensorecs, DJ'J aka @jennyslattery is a curator at heart, carefully sculpting the look, feel and sound of the label she began with Anthony Naples back in 2017 while establishing her own blueprint as a top-tier selector of deep dance rhythms from around the globe. She's also one of the three DJs behind the wonderful @down-2-earth mix series, a local music hub with a heavy focus on emerging talent from New York City and beyond.

Hailing from the West Coast but now based in Berlin, Doc Sleep is a DJ, producer and co-founder of the Jacktone label.

Her Sunday Mix, which arrives just days after her latest release – a full-length documentation of these changes and real-world realisations – packs serious emotional heft into a subtle, unhurried set that hops from genre to genre, from the ethereal ambience of Nala Sinephro to synth wizard Ryuichi Sakamoto via Laurie Anderson, Low and Madlib, with each track lingering like a thread you can't help but feel compelled to follow.

Theory Therapy 51 is by producer and field recordist Jake Muir.

Jake is someone we’ve been eager to have on the series for a very long time. The Berlin-based artist has such a fantastic ability to create a specific sense of space and atmosphere in his music and mixes. This recording is no exception. It's an updated version of a set originally made for the Cool Room party in Melbourne, filled with yawning spaces of natural reverb and densely textured ambient. “The way the chillout room was described to me sounded very low key, with people drawing and what not, so I kept that vibe in mind when selecting tracks. The music spans from the late 70s through now.”
