Études Mix N°65 by DJ Plead @1djplead
IG:@djplead
Curated by Aimée @am-agency

A few words from the artist:
1/ How would you describe your personal connection to music and how it influences your creative process?
My personal connection to music is constantly evolving and occasionally complicated. At times I'll feel so tired by it and at other times I'm addicted to it. My creative process requires me to have some time-off from music. Mainly time off from DJing, actually. When I'm surrounded by lots of functional music designed for night clubs, it's hard for me to truly feel creative and have the energy to make new music. 

2/ As an artist, how do you see the intersection between fashion and music? 
I'd like to be more involved with the intersection of fashion and music! It feels like it would be an exciting estuary. 

3/ What particularly interested you in collaborating with Études to make this mix?
I like Études! I've been a fan since before I was releasing music. I was interested in a particular artist called Colin Snapp and bought his book that Études had published. The Études tumblr was also a very frequent source of inspiration for me. It feels weird and exciting to do something for a brand I've been following for a long time. 

4/ How did you curate this musical sequence/audio journey?
I tried to think about it being autumn going into winter over in europe and chose a few tracks that felt a bit like they were slowing down. I'm currently back in Australia so the opposite seasonal change is occurring, so I still have some slightly more spring-oriented tracks in there. 

5/ Three words to define your mix for Études?
Groovy, Deaky, Sloppy

Truancy Sessions S01 E03: Andrew Devlin (@andrewdevlin17)

Artwork by Kushagra (kushlet on Instagram)

For the third episode of our Truancy Sessions series, we're thrilled to feature New York-based DJ and promoter Andrew Devlin, renowned for his iconic Level parties. Since its inception in 2014, Level has evolved from filling dancefloors in small Bushwick dive bars to becoming a staple of NYC's nightlife scene, with a recent expansion to Miami showing they are still in ascension. Andrew, along with his team of five residents, has cultivated a musical ethos that spans from tasteful record selections to peak-time party curveballs, showcasing his versatility and range as a gifted DJ. His opening set at Sustain Release in 2022 exemplifies this, seamlessly blending Carly Simon, Beck, Portishead, and Chaka Khan with cutting-edge dance music. We knew Andrew would deliver a stellar selection for our Sessions series, and he has certainly exceeded our expectations.

Hi, we are back, let's not make a big thing of it! It's an honor to have GBD on the series.

“Long live the intifada! Free Palestine. Blessings to the Martyrs. This mix is raw output from a fragmented mind. Residues of insurgency across genres and decades.”

Gianpaolo Dieli (AKA gbd, PKA Savile) is a non-binary dj and producer who has been an integral player in the American dance music underground for over a decade. A Michigan native who began their career in Chicago with a residency at hallowed Smart Bar, gbd has built their practice around an effort to create equitable environments, imaginative visions, and disruptive programming.

Since their international debut at Berghain/Panorama Bar in 2016, Dieli has toured 10+ countries and 30+ cities across North and South America, Asia, and Europe, spreading their raw sound and unbridled energy with an open heart. In the intervening years, they’ve received support from some of the most notable publications and outlets across dance music and culture; the likes of BBC Radio 1, Red Bull Radio, Resident Advisor, i-D mag, Beats in Space, Ghostly, RinseFM, NTS, Truants, DJ Mag, Mixmag, and Groove Magazine.

Called “one of the most exciting secrets in US club culture” by Boiler Room, Gianpaolo currently works and resides in Brooklyn, New York, and holds a residency at Public Records. In 2023 they changed their artist name from Savile to gbd - marking a new beginning in their artistic journey and a continued commitment to unearthing dance musics' deepest sounds.

As always, thanks for listening.

Our latest SORRYMIX comes via transdisciplinary performance artist, curator, and educator MIRA MIRA (@mirasamira ) 🎶  

Although we only met fairly recently at Honcho Campout, Samira and I are both from the same hometown of Winston-Salem, North Carolina!! Currently based in Brooklyn, she's also spent a good amount of time in the Pittsburgh underground; co-founding collectives like @dyspheric-x alongside XC-17 (@stephanie-alona-helen) and @yessimusic and Uhaul Disco alongside @johnnyzoloft. Her deejaying is a joy to behold - psychedelic intimacy, passionate + personal, sublimely jacked out improvisational genre-soup flow that I just can't get enough of. 

SORRYMIX29 finds her opening up the first party of our 2024 residency at techno living room @bossanovacivicclub in Brooklyn before sets from @mxblaire and myself. There's some words from Samira below on the recording ✨ Make sure to catch Nowadays debut at our label night this Friday alongside Hits Only (@davisgalvin + @aliberger) and myself! - @nickboydnyc

"It was my first time playing at Bossa and I was kinda nervous but also feeling a lot of feelings from the week. I was pulled by cops twice that week, the day before four cops stopped me supposedly for hopping a turnstile, stopped for $2.90... The day of I came in fresh off of a shift at Trans Pecos where I worked a benefit show for Gaza. It featured some powerful performances and a teach-in by DegrowNYC.

Usually, when I'm given opening duties I like to warm things up and keep things a little lighter but I had too much on my heart. I decided that it was more important to speak to what's happening in Gaza, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. I think the mix ended up being a chaotic reflection of what I was feeling. Hopefully it made people reflect with me and wiggle a little bit too."

This installment of Live & Direct features the opening segment of a set that Russell E.L. Butler (@russellelbutler), played alongside NIKS on June 2, 2023.

"Reggae music is a teacher. I’ve learned about spaces between short moments through this music. I’ve learned to listen through this music. I’ve learned how to connect with others through love and consideration through this music. I’ve learned that every moment is the beginning and the end and how to listen for the space in between. I’ve learned that no matter how far away home is, you can always find a way back." — @russellelbutler

Russell E.L. Butler returns to Nowadays for an all-night set this Friday, April 19, 2024.

All Night: 4/19

@kiernan-laveaux takes us on a zany trip through her mind with a peek into the kind of sounds crowds can expect at Horst 2024

"My warm-up mix is a zany trip through my mind for an hour and a peek into what a solo set from me at the festival might look like — 100% KL special low-frequency version. I’m happy to be showing more specific strains of what I do in B2Bs this year, and grateful for the opportunity to spin it out at the speed of sound in this mix. Influenced by the never-ending cycles of violence, corruption, and fascistic decline we’re forced to exist within on Earth, as well as the way music can be both a communicator of liberatory ideas and also a pacifying force to maintain the status quo of white supremacist capitalist patriarchy. The strategic adversary is fascism - free everywhere and destroy what destroys you. A better world is possible.

There's lots of music within visionary worldbuilders and friends and an upcoming release from myself, Johnny Zoloft, and Gladstone Deluxe entitled 'Total Body Extension'. Keep your heart and mind open - I hope this mix can soundtrack some moments of discord, headbanging, and hip-moving."
