Spinning up a new mix series! “Nothing culture” is the phenomenon of people on social media who “make their lives about nothing,” e.g. streaming while eating fast food. It’s mostly a way of poking fun at myself for contributing to the endless stream of Entertainment Content™️ online.

For this first one, in light of the changing seasons, I wanted to explore icy textures which gradually thaw into humid, subterranean rhythms, catching glimmers of sunlight along the way. Includes a bit of everything: ambient, downtempo, 2000s IDM, dubby bass and techno and more. Hope you enjoy.

For the second volume of lazed, a mix series thought as a playground for listening music, we're happy to introduce Italian DJ and visual artist Aka Hyoo. Next to Djing in a club setting, the Decadance collective co-owner has always been keen of experimental listening music scenarios. Through his selections, he guides the listener into a blend of cinematic sounds, creating vivid and otherworldly sonic experiences. 

Aka Hyoo: "The introspective silence of John Cage's "4'33''" and Plastic Ono Band's "give peace a chance" samples, set the floor to this melancholic cinematic odyssey, inspired by Jim Jarmusch's Champagne chapter from "Coffee and Cigarettes.” Contrasting emotions intertwine, mixing popular and upbeat sounds with darker, somber moods through sporadic vocals, endless loops, and noisy glitches. It is a personal reflection on the world, crafted to evoke a sense of distance and contemplation."

frail808’s selections are wide and genre agnostic,
with a unifying penchant for driving syncopated percussion, heavy sub bass and yearning ambience. she brings an ecstatic energy to the decks, and thrives on the energy of a sweaty,
uninhibited dancefloor. Her sets are often broad in scope, traveling through searing bass bangers, ethereal breakbeat, introspective deep dub, and pulsing ambient tracks. She runs
