Mantissa Mix 291: Fibre Optixx

With this mix for the Ever Afters 2023 campout, I wanted to help set the stage (literally) for the lineup that Envelope booked for the Yurt. This took three forms: lesbian soundsystem music to establish dancing in that room as a norm (prog); dark and percussive and carnal tracks to open the gates for wider tempos and sonic palettes (dnb); and experimentally-focused pieces to acknowledge the history of the Yurt as a site of primarily ambient casting (experimental ambient). It works best I think if you imagine yourself in the depths of the California midlands, huddled under swerving UFO lights as the hours from 3-5am careen by 🖤

Xi'an-born and Toronto-based producer, pianist, and DJ Ciel steps up for the next Phonica Mix with a slow building club room warm up. With a selection of deep and chugging bass, house and techno this is a mix that equally see itself lending its ears to the home listener as well as the club dancefloor frequenters. Its this diverse sound that has seen Ciel take the helms of some of the greatest clubs, festivals, radio shows and podcasts as well as releasing solid records on labels like Mister Saturday Night, Peach Discs, Coastal Haze and more her sound is truly solidified through these outputs. We are delighted to have Ciel join us ahead of some of her amazing shows this year like Kala Festival & Multi Multi(Where we will also be hosting a 20 Years Of Phonica Stage). We had a chat with Ciel about the mix and about some of the releases she has coming up.

Phonica Mix Series 107: Ciel

Born and raised in New York but now transplanted to Berlin, @gabriellekwarteng has quickly become a Panorama Bar regular known for her eclectic radio shows. The move to Europe widened the scope of her DJ sets which tend to be high energy and punchy with plenty of techno, while on the airwaves she is likely to serve up a mix of boogie, Afro-disco, and neo-soul. That broad approach no doubt stems from growing up in the musical melting pot that is the Bronx, but also from childhood summers - and later a year studying abroad - in London. Add in a desire to champion the classic Black American genres and you have the foundations of the Kwarteng sound. 

All this is reflected in this week's mix which traverses global genres with effortless enthusiasm. Hefty bass cuts and weighty rhythms build into acid-tinged workouts, sounds of the diaspora spread across the course of 70 minutes and energy levels drop even when the mood changes. It's a great snapshot of a DJ at ease with worldly sounds and the ability to thread them all together into a communal dance floor experience.

What a better way to celebrate our freedom than with a shiny new mixtape by https://soundcloud.com/mouthfeel! He graced our booth at the IsBurning x Dekmantel SXSW showcase last year and he has been a key figure in Texas’s developing underground dance scene for the last ten years where he integrated activism with electronic music.

About his favourite track in the mix:
"One track that I am excited to include in the mix is Luca Lozano's "No Rewinds".  It has a mellow feel but actually is in a similar BPM to the other tracks I was considering. The delicate, emotive pianos and heavy bass create this beautiful tension.  It was a fun challenge figuring out how to place a more contemplative track in the middle of these rude and euphoric bangers."

Ilian Tape Show with Fireground & Zenker Brothers - 05 May 2023

August 6th 2022 I was having the pleasure to be part of the Tresor 31 Festival, playing at the Globus floor in the morning hours. I´m happy to share an excerpt of the set with you, that is containing several classics and all-time faves. Enjoy the ride.

Love is the message in the latest episode from local legend @djluvyou! Playing like a personal ode to the dancefloor, the mix is overflowing with heavenly deep house classics and hints of early 90s prog and trance to get you feeling all the feels and ready to sweat! 

Some words on the mix with DJ Luv You:

Q. I noticed that you included a bunch of songs with lyrics about love throughout the mix which I’m guessing was no accident! Tell us a bit more about the theme you had in mind here, and what kind of feelings you were hoping to evoke?

A. I’ve always been attracted to the more joyful side of dance music and I think it just kinda happened in digging for records, as one does looking for a certain aesthetic of a label sticker or a particular artist. For me, the word ‘love’ just always seems catch my attention. I wanted to focus on that energy for this mix, something quite emotional and nostalgic while still maintaining that movement and euphoria about it that you just can’t help but move to!"

Q. What other inspiration did you draw upon when putting the mix together? Is there a particular sound, time period in dance music history or a memory of yours that connects all the different elements in one way or another? 

A. I wanted to create a bit of an origin story for myself. This 90s era of sound has really become an obsession and identity, it feels like the perfect link for me between the two other worlds of dance music that I love; The rare groove housey side and the new wave proggy electronic and trance influenced sound. You’ll find hints of both here in this mix.

I also just wanted to put as many of my favourite records into this mix for my own listening pleasure. When you're doing something for yourself first and foremost there’s a pureness to the way things flow together. This recording was just one of those improvised moments using a really lovely Condesa mixer and enjoying myself fully.

Q. Are there any records in the mix that are particularly close to your heart, and if so what’s the story behind them?

I feel like I rarely play a set without this record making an appearance haha, "When You Love Someone" by Daphne. Its versatility seems to fit any mood or space for me. Allowing me to move from disco into something more contemporary or as an emotive breath towards the end of a hot and heavy electronicy set.

Q. And finally, I see you’re on your way over to Europe at the end of the month. What do you have coming up over there that you’d like to tell us about?

A. Yes, super excited to be heading over till October for my first international tour, opening up with Kala Festival in Albania. Then a run of club shows and more summer festivals across France, Germany, Netherlands, UK and Bulgaria. Looking forward to skipping winter and enjoying the sun with what feels like every other naarm dj ;)

For extended Q&A visit pi headquarters @ ------>pipipi.life<-------

Introduce yourself? Pronouns? Where do you currently reside? 

Hii I’m Mabel. I'm a 23 yr old DJ/producer & visual artist. I use she/her and currently I reside in Naarm, known as Melbourne in Australia. 

Describe your walk around where you live

Residential suburbia mixed with really random nature moments. I live in the same suburb I grew up in so it's very familiar and nostalgic. Extremely FLAT landscape until you come across the creek nearby that creates a surprising amount of cliffy bush walks which also is one of Melbourne's most popular doof locations.  

Last track you would want to hear before orgasming?

Ooooo I have to go with this sexy classic: 
What’s in Your Head - Disclosure

What would you like to see in the future for the dance community?

I want to see the scene down here reignite. We lost a lot of clubs over recent years and laws were introduced regarding illegal doofs. The general vibe has lowered a lot post covid. There’s a lot of reminiscing about the parties filled with sweaty dancers, naked bodies, insane outfits, etc. Parties that were just fun and freeing. I hope these things come back. They were definitely the reason I became obsessed with Djing.
