Juanita's Mix 072 with Kiernan Laveaux @kiernan-laveaux

Q. How would you describe yourself?
A. A girl doing their best to channel kindness, fun, & understanding throughout our known universe

Some ways other people have described me: Conductress of Chaos, Rockstar with a kind soul, Patroness of free divers


Q. How long have you been a part of the dance music community?
A. Since 2014, right after I graduated high school & started to help throw parties in Cleveland - almost like a whole decade now which is wild.

My relationship to it all continues to shift & grow but my life would be so much worse & empty without dancing & the people I've met thru it.


Q. Tell us about this mix.
A. So this mix is a super special one for me, composed of broken beat records I've picked up in NYC, but also Detroit & online. I've been really fortunate to be able to come to New York to play & see loved ones over the past few years, many of those times I'd end up leaving with a stack of these records in between some necessary laughs & growth in life. Every track in here honestly contains a snapshot of times I've felt able to really live my life & the people who've helped me realize we can all do that together - very much part of my soundtrack to feeling the sun & love around me in NYC.

Broken beat is a really special style of music for me - I was first introduced to it through Titonton Duvante & Charles Noel (Archetyp) through the way it influenced them in creating their unique vision of midwest techno that in turn has influenced a lot of my approach to music. 
The way that broken beat combines & dissolves so many eras of music (drum n bass, hip hop, 70s fusion, R&B, dub, etc) into new continuums is endlessly inspiring - always focusing on community, personal insight, celestial unknowns, the depths of life & self, the joys of moving with people, cultivating togetherness in a way that always makes me feel better after listening. 
Whenever I am having a weird day or don't know what music to play at home, I bust out my stack of broken beat records & just start mixing - this mix is very much a no thoughts vibes only kinetic result of that. 
I hope it can help soothe the mind & spirit for anyone else listening - a distillation of joy in the complicated world we share.

Included a thorough tracklist for this, really recommend checking any & all of these artists/tracks + the labels People, Main Squeeze, 2000black, Bitasweet, Archive, Co-Operation... the list goes on!
What is also really amazing about this music to me is the self contained but like infinite universe it's in, all sorts of producers & vocalists gliding in & out of each other's music - exchanging energy under all different names & sounds. Much love & respect to everyone whose music is in here & to everyone whose music will be in mixes like this in the future <3

It makes sense to have Oltermann back for seconds. Love Mix was recorded around valentines day earlier this year, when he was meant to play at a gaff but they hadn't sorted out decks. Shit when that happens. Distraught? Never. The ambassador of love heads home, plugs Zoom in and here we are. 

If you've heard him play what ensued will come as no surprise: heartfelt soul, disco, house and italo. Classics and obscurities. Some played for the first time, others rinsed over the past 15 years of Olli being sound. Trust me, I know. We were in the scouts together around -96. True story. @djoltermann

Miah Benton (adab) puts heavy emphasis on presenting the margins of existence and sound through their djing. The now Philadelphia resident started spinning various eras of dance music as a result of finding Cleveland's queer techno party & crew In Training and being a Chicago born queer youth raised across a few states in the Rustbelt. But ADAB, as presented here, is less persona and moreso a referential way of being that seeks to illuminate perspectives for others wherever they may be found...

This album unfolds as a sonic journey that blends electronic landscapes with experimental and atmospheric nuances, offering an immersive experience that moves between contemplation and rhythmic energy. Each track functions as an independent chapter, yet together they build a coherent narrative that reflects an emotional passage: from dawn to night, from stillness to expansion, from the intimate to the expansive.

The opening piece, **“Solitary Sequence,”** opens the door to an introspective world. Its minimalist and repetitive structure conveys the sensation of a pattern unfolding slowly, like a thought repeating in the mind until it becomes a landscape. It is a track that invites solitary reflection, where time seems to stretch and the sonic texture becomes almost tangible.

In contrast, **“Twilight Mosaic”** proposes a tapestry of richer and more colorful sounds, evoking the hues of twilight. The melodic layers overlap like pieces of a mosaic that shimmer differently depending on perspective. There is a play of light and shadow that adds dynamism while maintaining a meditative air.

With **“Winding Harmony,”** the album flows toward a more organic exploration. Its progressions recall winding paths that are never linear, generating a sense of continuous, shifting movement. The harmony twists and unfolds in new directions, reinforcing the idea of a journey in constant evolution.

**“Resonant Dawn”** offers a luminous respite, as if the listener awakens to a newly lit horizon. The resonance of the title is reflected in the spaciousness of the sound, which seems to vibrate in an open, hopeful space. It is a piece that balances delicacy with expansion, transmitting renewal and clarity.

Finally, **“Rising Syncopation”** introduces a stronger and more rhythmic pulse, closing the album with energy and vitality. The syncopation creates a constant tension that pushes forward, like a heart beating powerfully after an emotional journey. This piece elevates the ending, offering a vibrant and dynamic conclusion.

Taken as a whole, the album is an exploration of moods and soundscapes that shift between the intimate and the expansive. It flows seamlessly between meditative calm and rhythmic drive, constructing a narrative arc that reflects both introspection and vital impulse. Its richness lies in the ability of each track to stand on its own while simultaneously contributing to a greater story. In essence, it is a work that invites both attentive listening and full sensory immersion.
