deconstructed

As 2023 approaches, we are asking artists to reflect on the year just gone through a series of mixes built from new music they’ve discovered or enjoyed in 2022. 

For Thessa Torsing, the only way is up – upsammy, that is, her most recognised alias and one under which she shares playful productions that touch on IDM and ambient, and takes to the controls for rousing DJ sets. Torsing traversed the globe this year, hop-skipping between Barcelona and Budapest, or Australia and London, with plenty more shows closer to home, in her native Amsterdam, as she continued to raise her glowing profile.

Her set for our end-of-year series starts on an amorphous and vaguely aqueous note, as squelchy synths and moon-lit atmospherics evoke a sense of submersion into a vast body of water. “This mix is a combination of murky low-end, tickling melodies and free-spirited micropercussions by some of my favourite producers of this year,” Torsing says on the recording, which features tracks by DBR, Andriy Kostyukov, CS + Kreme and more.

For their July show, @bambi-dj invites Rotterdam-based DJ and visual artist @nelly_dj, for a one-hour B2B. Known for her psychedelic and narrative-driven sets, Nelly crafts immersive and trippy sonic journeys, blending emotional depth with a distinct psychedelic touch. Together, they’ll explore the depths of deep techno, mind-bending psychedelia, and trance-inducing rhythms — a vortex of tension, texture, and release.
