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.

“i grew up on the east coast in new jersey and after school in the midwest and a few years on the west coast, i moved back home and realized deep in my bones, i’m an east coast gal! i need the revolution of 4 seasons and autumn is forever my favorite season. nothing beats an east coast autumn—as the summer heat starts to cool, it’s back-to-school season, and the leaves begin to transform and glow with earthy, vibrant hues. it’s apple picking season!” This is how vicki huang @vickihuang feels about “Autumn Commences,” as they bring the 23rd Orbitinging mix.

“it’s an ambient IDM glitch mix for spacing out, laying on the grass with your headphones on to enjoy all the ear candy—bleeps and bloops, brain food, bits and bytes,” they add. “i was a spacey kid and still am a space cadet!”

vicki huang is a Taiwanese-American musician, DJ, and vinyl storyteller focused on the preservation and revival of Taiwanese folk music. Their work explores diasporic memory through archival materials combined with contemporary downtempo and electronic grooves. Based in Taiwan, they are a resident DJ at Taipei’s 潮電Bar&RecordStore and founder of 鹽埕區長salt district mayor,  a living archive and audiovisual label devoted to forgotten voices and field recordings from Taiwan’s roots culture.

vicki highlights “brood xii - brood xii” from their mix—a track by John Hughes III, founder of Chicago-based IDM label Hefty Records. “hefty was home to my childhood favorite band, ‘telefon tel aviv’. i listened to their album fahrenheit fair enough on repeat throughout high school and college—it feels like sonic home to me. ‘brood xii’ probably refers to cicadas, which reminds me of nature’s chorus in late summer.”

“hello from my childhood bedroom in new jersey!” vicki shares, visiting family and hosting a few listening sessions in NYC this midsummer. They found their old tape recorder—“my first tool for electronic music—used for field recording, sampling, and playing with soundwaves. i used to get such a kick out of the simplest effect: reverse. for this mix, i pressed reverse again—returning to the music that inspired and healed me as a kid. some tracks were ripped from my old CD collection,” they share excitedly.

vicki will return to Kaohsiung in the fall to continue working on their debut EP—a collection of downtempo/techno reimaginings of Tainan folk songs—and to prepare the first 鹽埕區長 salt district mayor vinyl release.

「我在美國東岸的紐澤西長大，在中西部念書，然後在西岸待了幾年後搬回家，才深刻地意識到：我骨子裡就是個東岸女孩！我需要四季的變換，而秋天永遠是我最喜歡的季節。沒有什麼比東岸的秋天更棒了——夏天的熱氣開始消退，就是開學的季節，樹葉開始轉變成大地氣息的色彩，亦是蘋果採收的季節！」這是黃美琦vicki huang @vickihuang 對於「立秋」的感受，他同時也為帶Orbitinging系列帶來第23部混音作品。

「混音中夾雜了ambient、IDM、glitch，適合放空、躺在草地上戴著耳機聆聽──那些嗶嗶啵啵像耳朵裡的糖果、腦部糧食以及數據碎片的聲響。」她補充道，「我從小到大就是個淘氣的孩子。」

黃美琦 vicki huang 是一位台裔美籍音樂人和DJ，專注於保存與復興台灣的民謠文化。他的創作透過歷史資料與當代downtempo、電子聲響結合，探索離散記憶的可能性。現居台灣，為台北黑膠酒吧「潮電 Bar&RecordStore」的常駐 DJ，同時也是視聽資料庫與音樂廠牌「鹽埕區長 salt district mayor」的創辦人——致力於重現台灣被遺忘的聲音與民間文化。

/
vicki特別從混音中挑選了〈brood xii - brood xii〉與我們分享，這首歌來自 John Hughes III——芝加哥 IDM 廠牌 Hefty Records 的創辦人。「Hefty 是我童年最喜歡的樂團『telefon tel aviv』的老家。我從高中到大學每天都重複播放他們的專輯《fahrenheit fair enough》，那對我來說是音樂的家與慰藉。『brood xii』指的大概是蟬，讓我聯想到夏末大自然的合鳴。」

/
vicki在紐澤西兒時的臥房笑著和我們打招呼──這個夏天，她回到美國東岸陪家人，同時也在紐約籌辦幾場聆聽會。她翻出小時候使用的錄音機：「那是我做電子樂使用的第一個工具，用來錄環境音、取樣，還有把玩聲波。我以前超愛一個最簡單的效果：倒轉 (reverse)。這次的作品，我也按下了『倒轉』鍵——回到那些曾啟發我、療癒我的童年音樂。裡面有幾首甚至是我從小時候的CD裡翻出來的。」

vicki 將在秋天回到高雄，並持續創作她的首張 EP——一張將台南民謠重新詮釋為downtempo/techno曲風的作品，同時也將準備 鹽埕區長 salt district mayor 的第一張實體黑膠發行。

Autumn Commences 立秋

As the days remain hot and the mornings and evenings begin to cool, reduced rainfall can sometimes lead to even higher temperatures than during Major Heat—a phenomenon known as the “Autumn Tiger.” In traditional belief, autumn corresponds to the lungs, which are associated with the emotion of grief. Excessive sorrow can harm the lungs, so it’s important to stay calm and at ease, avoiding emotional distress.

“the concept for this mix is ‘healing, patience and then fun’; three things i wasn’t really allowing myself too much of throughout the last three months of this year, outside of some brief magical encounters with new friends scattered throughout.” - georg-i



every now and then a producer enters the world wide chat and unlocks a new pathway, helping you rethink the way certain things(music) are meant to be. bristol-based georg-i is one of those artists. making his debut on yco in 2021 with the epic ‘yco002’ featuring the much-loved ‘body static’, georg-i made his mark from the get go. an artist in the truest sense of the word, georg-i’s music is grand in sound, often powerful club tools that are both wonky and dynamic and so unique in that you can spot one of his tracks coming into a mix or set from a mile away. somewhat earwormy, like ‘stasis’, which felt like it became every djs favourite track but blew you away every time no matter how many times you heard it. then there’s the debut release on ccl’s subglow imprint, ‘rebuild’, that was so deliciously wormholey, i’m not sure there’s anyone else making oddball club tracks like georg-i right now that brings together so many of his influences from punk to the industrial environments he grew up in. last month, georg-i released a collaborative release with lisbon-based lyricist older brother for katiusha’s grace imprint, channeling a slightly different side of his soundscape as he delves into hi-tek bass and trip-hop, injected with gritty vocal poetry. ‘foundations’ sounds like a continuation of ‘torn in two’ from the subglow ep whilst the ep as a whole draws influences from massive attack and samurai music. 

constantly wondering how georg-i consistently makes music this good & otherworldly, we caught up with him to chat about the process behind ‘rebuild’ and ‘warm skin’, his artistic journey and early influences, working with vocals and more.

MAGIKA_MENTE was developed entirely as an abstract, theoretical sound experiment — born from a deep discussion about magical and esoteric musical scales. The work explores transitions between Locrian, Dorian, and Mixolydian modes, tuned to 432 Hz, and interwoven with the primal resonance of the didgeridoo in open tuning.

This is not a simple or soft composition: it is vibe coding magic in music, a living grimoire, a Solomonic portal where frequencies become incantations and sound itself becomes ritual. CID available on IPFS
