Interview & Tracklist

Off The Record Mix Series 20: Gigi Masin

From break dance & hip hop to house & techno, DJ QU has played an essential role and known within the global community. Through the years, Analog room has been very lucky to have DJ Qu playing our dance floor twice.


Ramon Quezada (a.k.a. DJ QU) lives and breathes house music, even if he’s not exactly sure what it is anymore. “House and techno used to be the one thing,” he says. “Now, Derrick May is techno and Kerri Chandler is house, but I never saw the difference.” As far as he’s concerned, if the music can be traced in some way to the deep house that first began to emerge from Chicago in the late ’80s, then it’s suitable for his record bag. Often lauded as a DJ’s DJ, Quezada also heads up his own Strength Music imprint, a label that’s low on hype, high on quality, and home to releases from deep-house luminaries such as Jus-Ed and Fred P., not to mention a myriad of records from DJ QU himself.
Quezada’s love for house music began in his native New Jersey, where his initial passion manifested itself via his participation in competitive house dancing. To be clear, it had nothing to do with raving, a separate scene which was undeniably popping at the time.
Regardless, Quezada’s hardcore dancing days eventually faded. Although he does occasionally still make his way onto the dancefloor. He eventually made the transition behind the decks and became DJ QU. After years of honing his craft, he also started making his own tracks, although his early efforts were hampered by a lack of equipment, and, more importantly, funds. Thankfully, those days are behind him.
In the midst of his studio learning curve, he launched Strength Music, primarily as an outlet for himself. For Quezada, nothing is more important than being able to release his own music on his own timeline. After dropping a series of singles over the past few years, he finally released his first full-length album, Gymnastics, an effort Quezada says was more than a year in the making. Highlights include the gurgling acid pulse and menacing vocal loops of “Get Sum,” the angular synth and loosely funky piano melody of “Slidin Thru,” and the workmanlike funk and infectiously off-kilter squeal of “Mixing Room.” Gymnastics is an incredibly detailed, fully realized album, and now that it’s complete, DJ QU in no rush to make another, although he promises more 12″s are in the pipeline, along with some new additions to the Strength roster.
Beyond that, Quezada continues to maintain a busy DJ schedule, and although he’s an unabashed vinyl purist, his approach to DJing is anything but static. For Quezada, it really is about the music—house music, to be exact.

Read our interview with Grant Aaron here: https://www.patternsofperception.com/post/a-chat-with-grant-aaron

The first time Grant Aaron (@insideout) went to an event with a chill-out room, everything clicked into place. It was the beginning of a long love affair with ambient and experimental music, with its sparsity and often beat-less nature leaving plenty of room for the imagination to take over. Grant went on to take up DJing in chill-out spaces himself before founding the influential platform Mysteries of the Deep in New York a decade ago. Initially a podcast, Mysteries has evolved over time into an event series and record label, and has established itself as one of the most revered sources for ambient music, both online and offline.

2021 is shaping up to be as busy a year as any other for Mysteries: there are releases in the works from Christina Chatfield (@anitserk), Mosam Howieson (@mos-how) and Grant’s label partner Oliver Chapoy (@ohm_sweet_ohm), plus plans to bring back the podcast after a brief hiatus. In the midst of this busy schedule, Grant took the time to showcase his cinematic, storytelling-driven style for our own podcast, with a mix recorded in a dense New York winter and inspired by the dampening of sound that comes with heavy snowfall.

Of the concept of his Patterns of Perception 80, Grant says: “The last eight or nine months have been some of the most difficult that I’ve been through in several years. A lot of it has to do with my work situation, which has been incredibly challenging and pushed me to rethink many things in my life. Then you have the pandemic, which has been this overarching theme for so many, most just trying to get through each day. But then there are these rays of light. I always try to be optimistic and hopeful about stuff, even when that can be really tough, so while this mix is very solemn, there are rays of light coming through.”

John Tejada is a Vienna-born, Los Angeles-based electronic music composer, DJ, and professor at CalArts. Tejada’s professional output of music began in 1994 and has never let up, including four albums for the revered label Kompakt, plus releases on Pokerflat, Cocoon, Plug Research, Seventh City, Playhouse, Defected, and his own label since 1996, Palette Recordings. Tejada has also been responsible for remixing over 100 songs for acts including The Postal Service, Télépopmusic, The Field, Bomb The Bass, Way Out West, Kevin Saunderson, Darren Emerson, Gui Boratto, Simian Mobile Disco and many others. Tejada’s latest venture as Wajatta is a new musical collaboration with international star Reggie Watts, having released their debut album, Casual High Technology, in 2018 and latest album Don’t Let Get You Down in 2020 on Brainfeeder.

Today marks the release of John's fourth LP, 'Year of the Living Dead' which John's describes here;

“The album was started using tools I was unfamiliar with, which became an interesting exploratory process,” Tejada says. “Staying away from the obvious and having to re-learn simple things was a fun challenge.” You can hear these new creative pulsions pushing the eight tracks on Year Of The Living Dead ever-forward; the album has a unique cast, and though there are trace elements of the genres Tejada has indulged previously, he’s never quite put them together this way before. There’s the dubwise glitter sprinkled across the moody opener “The Haunting Of Earth”, the kind caresses found amongst the deftly woven textures of “Sheltered”, and the churchy melancholy, all hymnal and golden, of “Echoes Of Life”

Be sure to check it out and hear for yourself. It's available now via Kompakt.
