Live at Nowadays - 5th October 2024

The supremely talented DJ Plead launches us into a mind warping world of percussive pleasures and dexterous genre bending, with his trademark agile club rhythms and pacy low end palpitations on full display in episode 303!

Q. What inspiration did you draw upon when planning this mix, and what type of listening environment could you imagine it being easily enjoyed in? 

A. I actually looked through my rekordbox history from a recent Animalia night I played in Naarm and drew some inspiration from that. When listening back to the mix I can imagine it being played for a semi-casual game of Futsal or something like that. I feel like there are some light-footed tracks in there that would be useful to some nimble futsal players. 

Q. Are there any songs in the mix that are especially close to your heart, and what is it about these cuts that resonate with you so much?

A. Mata by Nidia & Valentina

It's taken off  a truly sublime Album that I draw lots of inspiration from. It's simultaneously organic and loose and club-playable, which is a tough one to get right. It's something I’m constantly trying to achieve but they seem to have done it effortlessly. 

Dotted by Cliques

I actually tried to google to see if I’ve ever put this tune in another guest mix before. I probably have, so I’ll apologise for that now. Cliques has always had a big influence on me since I started producing music. They’ve since stopped producing themselves which is a shame but I always play their old tunes out if I can. RIP Cliques..

Q. One of the things I’ve been fascinated with in your DJ sets (the Sustain-Release set for example) is your mixing of polyrhythms to seamlessly bridge tempos throughout a set. How did you first get inspired to experiment with this style and what are some of otherwise conflicting genres/sounds that have blended nicely?

A. My DJing style is at times an extension of my music production. I think this might be a good example of that. The sustain release transition from 150 to 100 is using a tune that I produced years ago in a 3/4 time signature. I’ve produced a few tunes over the past few years that are able to do that. It just allows me at times to bounce around to different worlds and stops me from feeling stuck in a tempo-range. I haven’t done it so much recently but I’d like to get back into doing it. It can create a really strange feeling for the audience. At Sustain-Release, a lot of the audience were on hallucinogens so it felt appropriate to get trippy in that way. It's harder to pull off in a nightclub environment.

I’m no longer sure what the original inspiration for experimenting with this style was. Playing a lot of tunes that have a polyrhythm in them can often make you feel like you have the option to dance at two different tempos.

new york-based dj and promoter como se dj comes through with a live recording from a recent recess party in montreal. with the theme being swamp fairies and como se dj closing for one of our favourites, the mix transcends between dark and light, using beautiful textural melodies to bring you into his world. 

growing up in a household that was always playing music with como se dj’s dad introducing him to a world of different soundscapes, it wasn’t until the last two years of high school that como se dj (paul) was introduced to electronic music via the all encompassing sounds of brian eno, aphex twin, portishead and massive attack. opening up the flood gates for paul, he then got into the renegade scene in montreal which is where the influence of djing came into play. now based in brooklyn, paul runs the diy sunday party series recess which was launched in response to the frequent high energy parties in new york with the aim of creating something more nourishing and softer for the queer community in the city. the previous parties have featured sets from deep creep, loif, adobeprincess, ronan, matas, kia, d. tiffany, adab, succubass, aaron j, rrao and more. 

with plans to play in the eu and moving back to montreal in the fall for studies, como se dj is soaking up the rest of his time in nyc. we caught up with paul to chat about all things recess and new york city influence, what it was like growing up in a musical household, other inspirations outside of music, and what he’s most excited about right now.

STDJ @ The Lot Radio 05-09-2025

Ru's back with some squelchy low end frequencies and dubwise flavours. Nudging the BPM from 116 to 135, Ru builds tension through tempo and texture, with atmospheric intermissions as welcome relief from the bass weight pressure.

Some words from Ru:

"It's been 6 months since I moved back home to Sydney, after 3 years living in Spain and Melbourne before that. Though my time away was special and necessary, returning to my community has been equally inspiring. Many people find their place in the world away from 'home', and in some respects that's true for my experience too. But lately I've been riding my bike down Bourke Street, catching myself thinking 'damn, this place is so ridiculously dope’. It's a sensation that's often felt on the dancefloor too, knowing that this is exactly where you need to be right now. That's the energy I had when playlisting this mix — a respawning on home turf."

Twenty seven ( Perspective _____ 07/08/2025 )

i gotta say
i been attending to the bank
like everyday
im making a play
just in the way
i be getting paid 
ian never like a bitch know that they ain’t on shit
i would never like a nigga playing all that he say she say
nigga im saying
you couldn’t be me
& then this fit
came straight from my hand
stay out the way 
i gotta say
you don’t get paid to be talking on me & that’s far as i seee
you niggas been sleep
better not beef
grudges i keep
i gotta do what niggas don’t do
i gotta woo who nobody can woo & i mean what i say
i do not play
i just get cakee 
don’t play with my cakee
im passing the phone to a nigga that’s wrong
for ever thinking i wasn’t go pop
like fuck out me face 
i gotta say
i got romaine it’s all in my chase
i hop on the beat dissociating
hop on the scene off a lil xan
got smoke in my throaat 
so how do i know
if i should quit
if i should tote
leave me alone 
if you not talm 
about a bag you can render me gone
keeping my attitude on
drinking on Rena to sippin on Rum
planning to fight a garcon 
i couldn’t wait til i could put niggas on
Merica falling like Rome
the plan is get rich get money alone
i be alone on the road
cus trusting is something im not
yes i make money a lot
do nothing but still be on top
