Juanita's mix 51 with Simisea @simisea

Q. How would you describe yourself?
A. Sugar, spice, and everything nice.

Q. How long have you been a part of the NYC music scene?
A. I’ve been a part of it for as long as I’ve lived here, which is 10 years now. Before that I was working in nightclubs & for promoters in Miami, my hometown, before I moved to NYC to go to music school. The music communities I’ve been a part of here have been my life & family for the past decade. I don’t really know that I can do anything else but work in music. I’ve had a few different music jobs throughout the last decade, but currently I work at the record label RVNG Intl. which has been my musical home for the last 6 years. There I project manage records and manage artists. I also run my own label with Tristan Arp called Human Pitch, and run another label and party series with my pals Enayet, K Wata and rrao called SLINK.

Q. Tell us a little bit about this mix.
A. This mix is my love letter to summer, my favorite season. Just as I was about to begin pulling tracks, I came across a beautiful book called Summer Solstice by Nina MacLaughlin. It’s a heartwarming essay exploring the meaning of summer in our lives. A perfect and inspirational coincidence that this book and I would find each other for this mix.

In this mix is a full summer day and all of its possibilities….Waking up to a balmy summer morning, sun bouncing off leaves from vines desperately trying to crawl through your apartment window. A cold shower to rinse off the dewy night’s sweat. It’s hot out. A stroll outside, thick humidity filling your lungs. A car ride to the beach with friends, windows down. Nothing beats a summer ride to the ocean; the perfect amount of time to listen to a mix. A BBQ in the park; a loud PA system blaring summer’s ecstatic joy. Sunset…an endless pastel New York sky that stops everyone in their tracks, no matter how many summer days they’ve seen come to a close. You feel cute, you’re kissing your newly blossomed summer crush. Is this the best day ever? Is this summer better than the last? An evening out with friends. What’s the move? Too many. You're unstoppable. Stumbling into bed, full moon so bright your cheap window shades don’t do shit; but it’s ok, you lay there and reminisce on a beautiful summer Saturday. “I have so many more left”….You wake up abruptly the next morning to a knock at the door. Fall is here.

Before starting his own label Solar Body, Otik released music on labels like INTERGRADED, Keysound, 3024 and Shall Not Fade, doing his rounds on the imprints that make up a constellation of the UK's most exciting club music. (To keep it simple, we can call it broken techno, but that's not the whole story.) He hails from Bristol, and takes in that city's unique and enduring blend of techno, dub and drum & bass history, but what sets Otik apart is the sense of atmosphere and space in his music. Perhaps RA's Taylor Bratches put it best: "Otik's precise club music floats on a lush, celestial plane." 

You can hear it in his upcoming EP Xoul Trap, where even a straightforward house beat on "Unorthodox" rides an updraft of choral vocals and eerie synths, as if carried by the wind. Otik says his RA Podcast is meant to be a little more straightforward than usual for him, sticking purely to club music, but it's still full of twists, turns, throwbacks (hello, "Router" by Pangaea) and, of course, the melodic and atmospheric qualities that make Otik tick.

For our 96th podcast, Brussels-based Moroccan DJ OJOO challenges listeners with her wide-eyed amalgamation of dusty dub and noise-inflected dancehall mutations – a mix that is disorienting, yet also entrancing and danceable. OJOO will perform at Unsound 2023 in Kraków this October, as part of our opening party at 89, beneath Hotel Forum.

OJOO is an artist of the SHAPE+ platform for innovative music and interdisciplinary art, co-funded by the European Union.

About the mix

I’ve been thinking about a concept for a mix titled “As the city sleeps” for some time. Soundtracking one of my favourite times of day, between 4-5am, the witching hour, when you fall in love, spend time getting to know the things about your friends you never knew and when towns and cities feel like your own.
When I was asked to contribute an hour of music to the inaugural “Monolithic Installation" (more info below), an immersive light installation in Bristol at Motion this summer it was the perfect catalyst to finally record the mix. I have gone back in and worked on it since and am happy to share it with you now.

"As featured in the Monolithic Installation, 5,376 suspended LEDs, an immersive light installation at Motion Bristol's recent day party by Squid Soup & Ben Price, hear the other mixes here and look out for it on the road this year" - http://bit.ly/2mrsYLo
