This mix is indebted to Andrew Weatherall. It’s a nod to both his familiar and lesser-known sonic sides. I hope the mix is something he would enjoy listening to, with new songs to discover and signature tunes spread throughout. We could call it a tribute to (or perhaps more honestly, a rip-off of) an undeniably defined sound.

But was it? Weatherall would be the first to reject this premise, even if we know it to be the case that his sound was recognizable far beyond the average musician or dj's reach. But perhaps by 'sound' we really mean 'style,' for no one could argue - not even the man himself - that on this he remains unrivaled.

Weatherall refused to be predictable or risk being put in a box, on principle but also quite naturally: if ever he felt pigeon-holed, he wouldn’t “change musical direction, just sidestep.” He was an artist in constant evolution, impervious to the rules of others, and I am inspired by his mind just as much as I am his methods.

As a self-proclaimed underachiever, Weatherall took a stance against ambition throughout his career, in subtle and not-so-subtle ways. The sidestep lifestyle hinges on this ethos, and from it emerges a clear channel for creativity - with originality at its source.

This mix is an ode to the underachievers, the anti-ambitionists, the sidesteppers. Never forget, as the man himself once said: if you ever find yourself climbing the ladder, it’d be best to jump off before you’re halfway up.

Yours in failing and sailing,
DJ Voices

This mix was originally recorded in June of 2023 & liberated from the archives in February of 2025 to commemorate the five year anniversary of Weatherall's passing.

Either in the middle of the day or in the middle of the night, Valesuchi distinctly translates the vast mixture of her timeless and fertile sonic research, embodied as a big list of questions that has grown at an unpredictable pace through her music production and DJ craft, since she was 15 years old.
With precision and purpose she stitches and improvises a message, looking to blend each crowd’s shadow, expansive aliveness and sometimes hidden sense of humour. By choosing people’s bodies as a limitless answer, Valesuchi rides the rhythm until there’s not much ice left to melt.
Never a lazy digger, the tools she has come from her background in Santiago’s risky
gatherings and from the lessons learnt at the uncomparable raves she’s played all over Brazil. She chose Rio de Janeiro as her homebase in 2017, a place where techno, groove, funk, desire and danger coexist.
