Toronto's Cindy Li, AKA Ciel, has a knack for balancing warmth and pressure. Her productions and mixes often feel coated in an iridescent gloss, evoking the trippy stylings of '90s UK tech house and the swung drums of classic New York house. In between that, though, there's lots of vigor via sleek electro, rippling trance, barrelling techno and big, bad breakbeats. Her style may lean towards the atmospheric but it's loaded with moxie, giving her the versatility to close out a main room or kick off the afters.

Her fluid movements between bouncy basslines, spiraling synth patterns and weightless house grooves are just one facet of her impressive rise as a DJ and producer. When she's not behind the decks, presenting radio shows or working on the excellent Parallel Minds label she runs alongside other Toronto acts Yohei S and Daniel 58, Li throws herself into community work. Committed to diverse dance floors, affordable housing and overall equality in the music industry, she's a hard worker in the realest sense of the phrase.

Li's RA mix is a treat. Rolling through scintillating drum work, wonky rhythms and dreamy pads, it feels like quintessential Ciel. In her interview below, she described how she enjoys "the challenge of trying to combine and make cohesive all the diverse styles of music I loved in a DJ set." Judging by this mix alone, it's safe to say that Li succeeded.

NTS Guide to: Women of 60s & 70s Folk 040723

It’s been a minute since we released one of Ozzie’s first tracks ‘Dem man Kno’ via TD Records, as the uprising Brighton producer was accelerating his way into the UK bass scene with some unforgettable music. Two years later & we’re proud to deliver the ‘REGIME’ EP, a three track collection that boldly states Ozzie’s continual evolution within electronic music. 
From the melodic tones of ‘Gangsta’, the rumbling drum line of ‘Lights Out’ & the purple infused 'Warios Castle’, the ‘REGIME’ EP body of tracks provides a brief idea of Ozzie’s future intent, as a full length album is currently in the works.

ريتم، رنگ آميزي و قالب در موسيقي مشرق زمين عمومآ نقطه شروع و آخرين متفاوتي دارد و پيمودن اين فاصله در آن خود بيانگر نوعي سير در ريتم و مضمون است. از گوشه اي به گوشه اي ديگر، از مقامي به مقامي ديگر، از حضيض تا اوج و از اوج به حضيض. مبناي اين اثر نيز سفري است به ميان رنگ آميزي هاي مختلف و هارموني هاي شرقي و غربي. همراهي تبلا و حضور سازهاي غربي همچون گيتار، سازهاي زهي و جلوه هاي صوتي در کنار سه تار، مكالمه اي را برقرار مي كند كه در آن سه زبان موسيقيايي متفاوت ايراني، هندي و اروپايي مفهومي مشترك را بيان مي کند.
