softi (@jazz_brown) goes fathoms deep for the podcast series. Big on atmosphere with a serious disregard for genre boundaries, the London-based DJ keeps things engrossing while never loosing sight of a fondness for dub, footwork and depth-charge tribalism.

She’s also cultivated community around @cozi-716789961, a party series and radio show placing emphasis on electronic music’s sensuous potential. Basically, anything softi touches is done in intrepid style. 

Subtly transcendent, timelessly transportive, and like the mix, an upcoming appearance at Draaimolen Festival will undoubtably deliver on that promise.

“I curated a fluid and progressive journey that floats effortlessly through BPMs and genres of the psychedelic sounds of electronic music. I wanted to create a taste of what to expect this year on the dance floor. A sensual, fresh flavour and sound that I want to push throughout my sets. 

Creating an atmosphere, always keeping it deep and expanding consciousness. With a slow but emotive start with smooth ambient and deep tribal techno which expressively leads into experimental bass-heavy IDM, jungle and d&b whilst still keeping a unique, growing spaced-out mood with each track.” – Softi

Introduce yourself? Pronouns? Where do you currently reside? 

Hello, I'm a producer and DJ going by the name of Ciel. My real name is Cindy, my pronouns are she/her, and I'm based in Toronto, Canada.

How do you deal with being nervous before a gig? 

Try not think about it :) It doesn't always work, but i find it happens from time to time if I'm really exhausted from not sleeping on tour and my brain has naturally shut off. If I can't stop thinking about it, I will try to select the first track from my vinyl bag and have a vague sense of what Rekordbox playlists I plan to play from. I ad-hoc all my sets because I love picking tracks in response to the audience's energy, but sometimes that is a lot more stressful for me and I find myself doom scrolling the USB. Devising a strategy, even if I end up not following it, does a lot to soothe my anxiety. 

Where do you see yourself musically in 2044?

I don't know what the future holds but I hope to be a full time composer of film and TV scores when I'm in my 50s and no longer want to tour constantly.

If you could have anything on your rider… What would you choose?

An indica-sativa hybrid joint (no tobacco), nice bottle of orange wine, German flat peaches, and a bathroom in the booth (anything is possible, right?)

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

Less celebrity worship, less influencer culture, less fame & money-chasing, more focus on behind-the-scenes folks (whether DJs or producers or labels) who foster community and tirelessly build their local scenes.

With fall around the corner, we look to Sold (@soldchicago) to take us through the feeling of trying to feel again. It’s time to decompress, grab some tea, take a seat, and ride the wave.

We paired Sold's mix with a work by Frank Bowling titled “Head”. Bowling’s work in abstract expressionism and color field painting resemble a similar mastery in handling and composing dramatic saturation using raw form.
