Juanita's Mix 83 with NAP @napmusick

Q. How would you describe yourself?
A. Colombo-Canadian male, 33 yrs old, 5’11 ft, 170 lbs.

Q. How long have you been a part of the Mexico City music scene?
A. I’ve only been here since last March and feel that I’m just starting to get to know the city in general. The positive energy that I’ve felt from everyone from the techno to the cumbia scenes here is what has made me want to stay and get to know the city and country more. I’ve also been lucky enough to meet people like DJ Guccichotas, Joyce Musicolor, Jasmanic, Irma Ruiseñor and the EXT crew who have all welcomed me into their scenes and shown me so much love and support. 

Q. Tell us a little bit about this mix.
A. This mix was recorded in the 15th floor of Torre Zacatecas in Tlatelolco, Mexico, after having just moved into a new apartment. We had cdjs for the weekend after my roommate had rented them for her birthday so I took a shot at recording something with Juanita's in mind and it was honestly one of the most natural and fun sessions.

Inc.ternational Mix Series is an umbrella extension of The Weirdos Inc. Show on B-side Radio (which focuses on local Vancouver acts). Inc.ternational says what it is on the tin - looking further afield from all over the world for selectors that inspire us, and fit into the eclectic sound of the Weirdos corporation.  

For the second instalment of the Inc.ternational Mix Series, really happy to welcome fka Boursin, hailing from UK, Bristol. Long time friend of the label, Henry Aka fka Boursin has been creating beautiful dubbed out ambient-house tracks for as long as we've known him. He likes to incorporate critical themes with into his work, with an ongoing analysis of the dance music industry and deep house as a genre.

His recent released on Sam Hall and Ongo Gablogian's Bristol-based label, Few and Far Between. An imprint focussed on rejuvenating old Bristol records with fresh takes from current producers as well as original contemporary material.

He's created a beauty of a mix that spans many genres in a true Weirdos inc. fashion. Much like his productions, the mix filters in and out of rhythms and pads. The mix ends on a whopping 13 min long track of his. Turn on and tune out...

One name that's been floating around the UK and beyond is Dj ojo !! 
A talent that all must know and hear. Joe aka Dj ojo is an artist, DJ and producer based in London. He first caught our attention back in 2021 releasing on Accidental Meetings first Compilation with a progressive, organic and emotive track called Mycelial, which set the tone for what was to come. Next releasing on Pressure Dome, Joe was able to create senses we never knew we had and leave us with hair standing on all parts. His music has really made an internally positive impact in the industry. His debut EP 'Coiled Up', released on Blank Mind, was a weird and cozy dose of 4 uniquely structured tracks that stunned us all. 
Joe not only produces but also Co runs 'Avant garbage' with legendary k means on Netail radio every month offering the most obscure sounds for your ears. He is also a resident on Leeds based station, NARR radio.
We are stoked to have Joe join Cozi with his one hour of dubby infused, house which was his first musical love!


Interview..........

1. How and why did you get into producing / dj’ing?

"I've been making music on and off since my teens but it was only about 3 years ago when i started taking it a bit more seriously. I also played drums when i was younger, and i've enjoyed making sounds and rhythms since as long as i can remember, so in some ways producing music felt inevitable. But there was still a massive mental hurdle just to start actually doing it properly. As for DJing, I guess thats just the natural progression from hogging the aux cord at house parties and friends cars. The music is a bit different these days though..."

2. Who, What/where was your most coziest gig you've been to or experienced and why?

"I think there are a variety of things that can make a gig cosy, a few experiences stick out for me... hearing Dozzy play slow deep house and techno feels like receiving a big warm hug; going to small and homely venues like Spanners is comforting, even if the music is not; ambient yurts at festivals often offer cosy outlets amongst the chaos - freerotation has the best one i've seen so far. Generally speaking London and the UK could definitely do with more venues focused primarily on comfort."

3.Are you an introvert or extrovert in the industry?

"Honestly it depends on my surroundings, overall i guess probably neutral. If i'm in a comfortable space surrounded by friends, then i like to express myself and make new connections. But i also value my solitude very highly and i like to be alone, even in the club from time to time. So if you see me out and i'm acting awkwardly that's probably why 😶‍🌫️"

4. If you had to choose 1 track to vibe out too forever, what would it be?

maus & stolle - bubble on. stick it on at the afters and watch everyone wobble and melt 
www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nl7NpAW232Q

5. What is your routine when preparing for a gig / production/writing session? do you have any special remedies/ mental prep/ places to go to? :)

"If i'm working on some music at home, i like to get into it early in the day if possible. I'll make a coffee and smoothie and prepare my desk area into a calming arrangement. I think most of the best music i've written has been first thing in the morning actually.

Preparing for a DJ gig is more of a gradual process of trying to picture myself in the environment, imagine how i'll feel, and choose a range of music accordingly. Then before the gig, eat a big bowl of pasta and try to not feel too anxious! "

@djbabyleo

Introduce yourself? Pronouns? Where do you currently reside? 

Baby Leo (he/him) residing in Bedstuy, Brooklyn. Soon I’ll be relocating to San Francisco, where I grew up.

Describe your walk around where you live?

Consistently stunningly beautiful. I spend the majority of my time in Bedstuy and am always so grateful to be here. Big trees, beautiful buildings, many friends.

Favorite DJ mixing trick? 

Playing a great song, letting it finish and then playing a different great song. No blend. 

How do you make a mix? Any key tips?

I have three decks at home and record on a little zoom thingy. I may have to do it a few times because I don’t do any post-editing and the first attempt is usually clipping pretty hard despite my best efforts. To prepare, I get fairly stoned and just mix for a while and go back in my rekordbox history and pull the good parts into a playlist. 

Describe your most recent dream in detail...

I almost never dream, but last week had a pretty strange and memorable one. I was involved with some pretty sketchy drug users who were into eating ancient dead people’s big toes. The high was extremely addictive and terrible, but once it started there was basically no way out. The toe that was presented to me was very gray and moldy and flaking apart except the toenail was still pretty solid. I woke up before eating it.

What is your favorite party/collective where you reside and why?

Groovy Groovy. 100%. As a dancer or DJ, you get complete rave catharsis every time, with a courageous, loving and boundless DIY energy guiding the ship. The attendees are open and adventurous listeners. Everything - sound, lights, artwork, curation is life affirming. It makes me want to live this life fully. I played it twice last year which were the two most gratifying DJ sets of my life.

If you could transfer all your knowledge from what you do now into something completely different, what would it be and why?
When I find out, I will just do it. I have made many life changes before and plan to keep transforming. I don’t know what comes next for me, but I know it’s coming and it will certainly be different. I am excited about kitesurfing and eventually hang gliding, but it certainly won’t require a transfer of any knowledge.

Where do you see yourself musically in 2069?

Hopefully somewhere that doesn’t currently exist.  Probably mostly deaf. Perhaps just enjoying the feeling of sonic vibration. 

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

My vision for this community is articulated and realized through Dripping. You will have to come and find out. Dripping is June 30-July 2 2023. Dripping.fyi

For the extended Q&A... please visit our website -----> pipipi.life <-------

Introduce yourself? Pronouns? Where do you currently reside? 

Hello, I’m James Baangura and I currently reside in Washington D.C.

Describe your ideal music listening situation for digging…

For digital digging, my ideal listening environment is early morning in my living room at home while drinking ginger tea. For Vinyl, I like to go on off days to my favorite local shops when there is not a great deal of foot traffic.It gives me the sense of not having to rush any selections.

How do you deal with being nervous before a gig? 

DJing for me is a form of communication. So for me I like to come to gigs early and talk with people in the crowd, learn about them and who they are. That’s important to me, it’s like sharing a meal and talking over delicious food.

Favorite thing to cook? 

I love to bake chicken and add asparagus and basmati rice. Very simple but very versatile. You can do so many things with that combination and it’s affordable haha.

Favorite DJ mixing trick? 

I love to use filter and echo FX in unison for transitions. It’s a way to make false buildups that aren’t already present in a track. Looping vocals or melodies over other tracks is something I like to do for on the spot edits.

What color would you pick to represent the way you produce? 

Clay(Red+Brown) I love warmth in music.If it can feel a bit cozy then it’s an automatic yes for me.

Listen to 11:11 in your PI mix… describe how it makes you feel?

Oh I love this blend. It makes me feel like I'm at a tribal celebration. 

When I was in the military I was fortunate enough to participate in tribal celebrations in Northern Afghanistan and to witness that first hand was sobering. Tribalism is such a raw human experience.

Any advice to upcoming DJs/producers? 

Continue to be you. No need to replicate what anyone else has done. Push yourself in your craft. There is no such thing as a bad question, if you don’t know, ask. Also reaching out to artists you respect for guidance is a good thing. More often that not they’ll you. Make music with friends, you’ll learn much quicker. Finally, make sure it remains fun. If you lose that, re-asses and determine how you can regain that.

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

I’d love to see more infrastructure for North American Dance music. The community is there but the spaces are minimal. So more nightclubs, more underground radio platforms, more publications, more curated festivals. North America now is taking up a bigger part of the conversation because of the last few years and I love that. I hope to see a definitive increase in the next few years.
