As part of our podcast series we proudly share the recording of the first part of NM DJ's set during our anniversary celebration at OHM.

Nadia Marcus is a poet, vocalist, DJ and designer. She spins under the NM DJ moniker, holds a residency at Berlin’s Refuge Worldwide radio station, and plays regularly for another residency at the listening bar kwia. Her musical range is wide, spanning spaced-out deep house cuts to hip-hop to liquid drum & bass – whatever the genre or style, the presence of groove and spirit is paramount, and has bumped out of systems across Berlin such as OHM, Tresor, Arkaoda and Sameheads. 

Marcus is co-editor of TABLOID Press, an imprint founded in Berlin in 2014. The publishing house maintains a focus on the text as a social space – for instance, in 2022 TABLOID released Breathing Room, a longform interview with Lakuti and Tama Sumo, focusing on pre- and post-pandemic dancefloor culture. Marcus’ poetry, art criticism and lyric journalism, often circling around the history and poetics of dance music, have also appeared in Arts of the Working Class, The Ransom Note and Edit. In addition to the collections of clothing Marcus silkscreens and releases under the TABLOID imprint, she has worked as a designer for numerous record labels including Uzuri, 3XL, wood//work and West Mineral Ltd.

Living Room n°85 ~ @living_roooom sleep set

8.5 hour hybrid set recorded on the 8th of February 2025, 23:30-08:00 at Oficina Municipal do Teatro in Coimbra, Portugal by @asiootus and @usofusofusofusof

~~~

q. pls introduce yourself:
a. Hi we’re asio and usof from the Living Room crew


q. is there a story behind the mix?
a. We were invited to perform a sleep show by the Ouvido Absoluto crew in Coimbra. We were very excited because playing a sleep set was always something we wanted to do. We've been collecting tracks specifically for an occasion like this for many years. On top of the different tracks we were improvising with a variety of digital instruments, to create an organic canvas of sound that is always moving, but very slowly. The idea of influencing dreams with music is one aspect that we found particularly interesting. So for that reason the set is not always focused on creating comfort, but rather different, sometimes quite alien moods.


q. what’s the best way to enjoy your mix?
a. Sleeping and dreaming.


q. describe a favourite object in your living room…
a. Perhaps the red desk light in Cosmos (technically our living room:). it creates a very cozy atmosphere.


q. are you working on any projects right now (music or not music)?
a. The whole Living Room crew is soon set off to play at Waking Life. After that we’ll have a string of events in Lisbon, with the next one being on the 6th of July.

Fixed Abode w/ Rainy Miller 130725

“Recently, I’ve been really inspired by bass music in the 80-85 (or 160-70) BPM range that shifts between slow and fast registers, opening up space for a deep interior journey and for a driving, percussive dancefloor experience alike. Much music in this space that I’m drawn to has a visceral, haptic, and earthy quality -- body music for mental landscapes. 

The mix is conceived as a journey into a densely foliated forest of ever-shifting dimensions, drawing you deeper and deeper into its cavernous shadows and spectral pockets of light. Dewdrops shiver on pillowy moss ,flanked by the hungry mouths of carnivorous plants; burly vines dangle low and heavy under velvet leaves. Mysterious and heretofore unknown flora abound, beguiling you with their sensuous textures, suffusing the humid air with smells both luxuriant and noxious. Finally you emerge into a softly-hued meadow, your journey into the darkness having brought you closer to a sense of calm.”

10 - Parle-moi pas d'Amour

un sourire facile quand mes yeux se ferment
toi et moi sur une plage d'hiver 
est-ce un souvenir ou était-ce juste un rêve
Parle-moi pas d’amour 
Je sais que tu me mens
J’aurais dû comprendre 
Dès le premier jour 
Parle-moi pas d’amour 
Je sais que tu me mens 
T’as passé ton temps 
À faire le sourd 
Parle-moi pas d’amour

Parle-moi pas d'Amour
