Recording from our Butt2Butt Sunrise (5am-9am) at @NowadaysNYC Nonstop Sept 26, 2021.

CCL x Physical Therapy [Live @ Nowadays Nonstop Sept 2021]

CCL on their staggering Friday performance at ROTUNDA: 

“I normally don’t get to play that fast from the get go but the crowd was so great it felt easy to play literally everything. It felt a bit like a wind tunnel in there. The shape of the stage, the whirling in and out of different tempos and the crowd’s energy made up for the perfect environment to play nothing but fast and half time rollers.”

CCL at Horst Arts & Music Festival 2022

Juanita's Mix 85 with livwutang @livwutang

Q. How would you describe yourself?
A. Aspiring multi-hyphenate : )

Q. How long have you been a part of the NY music scene?
A. I moved to NY in September of 2021. I had started to meet the seedlings of my now friends and budding community when I played here earlier in the summer of 2021 and before that, when I went to Sustain in 2019.

Q. Tell us a little bit about this mix.
A. This mix is:

1/2 the sequel to my beloved Honcho dubstep mix from 2021
1/2 a mix of music I would have shown to my baby stoner self in high school, instead of the carefully curated Majestic Casual-ridden playlists she was dutifully crafting at the time to accompany her equally intricate apple pipes.

Recorded live in studio from @refugeworldwide, a journey into the darkside of 2-step, garage, and proto-dubstep.

Big up the bad boys, gyals and theys!

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.

Ploy makes mad music – a lot of his music sounds mad. It shouldn’t necessarily make sense but it does.

The term discombobulated comes to mind at times but in the very best way. No, seriously we mean that as a compliment.

For many years Ploy has been one of the most interesting producers in underground Electronic music having released records with the likes of Hessle Audio, Hemlock, Timedance and L.I.E.S.

No two have sounded the same and each of them have drawn upon a musical influence or five as Ploy attempts to piece together his own flavour of dance. As an artist he has continued to evolve – creating his own world in which to release the music that feels right to him.

Ploy’s own record label, Deaf Test, has been integral in the evolution of his sound. Acting as a platform in which to experiment and explore new sounds and concepts.

One challenge of his career thus far has been working out a way to connect the dots between his own musical tastes, productions and outlook towards club culture. However, as of late his focus has been rooted in the wonkier undercurrents of UK Bass music and its intersection with Tech House. A new record on Timedance forthcoming cements this idea.

We invited Ploy to record a mix and the result… Well, you are in for a treat as we gain an insight into some of the music which makes Ploy tick on the dancefloor.

Ploy: The Ransom Note Mix

For the third mix in the Field Maneuvers takeover we're very, very happy to welcome Glasgow-based DJ Bake. One of our favourite DJs (even more so once you read the concept behind the mix 🥲), I've had the pleasure of seeing him play twice over the last year - at Corsica Studios for the Fever AM x Small Talk party and Fitzroy in Berlin. The Berlin set, as part of the Redstone Press label showcase, is one of my favourite memories from this year - it was wild, giving me the new lease of life I needed at that moment as it took place towards the finishing line of the May day bank holiday weekender with some of my closest friends - it's a dancefloor memory that hasn't left my mind since. 

Co-founder of the now defunct ALL CAPS label which housed releases from Kowton, Helix, Bluntman Deejay, Flørist, Neuroshima and more, Bake also hosts a long-standing show on Rinse FM called C to the Power of X with guest including Doo, Akanbi, DJ Voices, Ben UFO, Neinzer, EMA, Jio and more. Earlier this year, Bake launched a new residency at Sub Club called Spirit. In the event description for the first Spirit event, Bake goes into the concept for series, saying "I've grown up around many forms of Spiritualism. Regardless of how they've made me feel, it has always been quite clear that Sharing is at the heart of it all, whether it's food, ideas, stories or music; something in between it all makes you feel more significant than yourself. In that spirit, I'll be inviting a guest to share the evening with. DJing as a process is an interesting, important and vulnerable one to me. After a decade of doing this, I've learned a lot about it, myself and how I relate to others. I've looked to this world, perhaps too heavily, as a means to give me a sense of purpose, belonging and community - I mean, it literally changed my life as a young teenager going to the art school and listening to the early developments of Dubstep on a massive sound system. Since then, I've gone through many phases of growing up and come to understand just how scary it is to be visible as a human and how much I need DJing as a practice to help me face that fear and stand up straighter in myself - in some sense, it's all I've got" which I feel tells you all you need to know about Bake's approach to music, DJing and beyond. 

For the mix, Bake says, "Made with Chanel in mind, this mix is a homage to a moment we shared on a Berlin dancefloor earlier this year. I'm playing with my friend Omar for FM this year, a collaboration born out of a session we had at my Glasgow residency a few months back. I wanted to feature one of Omar's tracks, as well as tunes from our circle of friends and family. The idea was to give a taste of what an hour of our set could potentially sound like - NRG! Bangers! The mix also opens and closes with the same song to round things off. Hope you enjoy!" [my reaction 🥺😭🥲🥺😭🥲🥺😭🥲]

Celebrating their 10th(!) anniversary this year, Field Maneuvers returns with their biggest line-up yet at the intimate secret Norfolk location. With a strong mixture of local legends and international talent on the bill, inviting the likes of Black Artist Database, Dialled In, Rye Wax, Kindred, Dalston Superstore and more to do stage takeovers, it's set to be a scorcher!

You can catch Bake at Field Maneuvers this summer with the festival taking place from the 18th - 20th August - buy tickets here: http://ra.co/events/1611218
