CCL (@ccl-url) has many tricks and plenty of surprises up their sleeve. London-born, US-bred but now Berlin-based, they are playful in what they play but serious about how they play it, whether that's head spinning 160bpm cut, "cowgirl-breaks or wiggle steppers." The key for this multidisciplinary artist and former New Forms festival curator is to find the similarities and differences between shades of sound and rhythm and exploit them to spellbinding effect. As a producer, they are no different and have always managed to find fresh in-between sounds on labels like Fever AM and Discwoman. 

The singular DJ steps up this week with almost two hours of pure sonic adventure. It's a perfect showcase of how they can soundtrack imaginary worlds from humid future jungles to robot dances in the sky. You'll hear rhythms you could never imagine and contort your body in impossible ways, all while admiring the dexterity of the DJ who has threaded together such a trippy trip.

Hi, james k, she/they, ridgewood, NY

What sound would you listen to… if it was the only thing you could listen to 24/7?

purrr

What is your favorite party/collective where you reside and why?

Truly no favorites, lots of people doing great things atm! But will shout out to CNC, had a lot of fun playing with them over the years.

If you could transfer all your knowledge from what you do now into something completely different, what would it be and why?

Listen. Dig deep. Trends don’t last, so define yourself by what you love, and share that with people. 

What would you like to see in the future for the dance community?

More support to diy spaces, independent bookings, intention, care, respect, love.

For her Crack Mix, upsammy’s architectural and shape-shifting approach to sound is in full force. “This mix is more on the percussive and clubby side of my sound,” she tells us, “focussing on a flow between adventurous rhythms with playful high frequencies, eccentric kicks and ambiguous tones”.

Introduce yourself? Pronouns? Where do you currently reside? 

Heyyyy I’m Roy, He / Him, I’m based in South-East London

What is your favorite party/collective where you reside and why?

Watersign by a country mile. It’s the only party keeping it real imo. Hot bookings, always a sexy vibe inside. Lineup is secret until the day of. A must-attend if you’re in town <3

What movie would you pick to do the score for?

Can I choose Surfs Up?

If you could transfer all your knowledge from what you do now into something completely different, what would it be and why?

Print making 🙂

It’s a beautiful artform with so many possibilities. I would love to dive deeper.

Track that makes you think about being in water…

I have a playlist for this! I think I'll go with LTD Colours – Messy Objects, from their Patterns EP.

What would you like to see in the future for the dance community?

I think a more unionised approach to the scene would be nice. Solidarity and mutual aid – in regard to uplifting and platforming our peers.

For our 96th podcast, Brussels-based Moroccan DJ OJOO challenges listeners with her wide-eyed amalgamation of dusty dub and noise-inflected dancehall mutations – a mix that is disorienting, yet also entrancing and danceable. OJOO will perform at Unsound 2023 in Kraków this October, as part of our opening party at 89, beneath Hotel Forum.

OJOO is an artist of the SHAPE+ platform for innovative music and interdisciplinary art, co-funded by the European Union.
