mixes & live

New York-based DJ dreemseed pays homage to her recent stay in the UK. 

dreemseed grew up in Florida and made her way to Brooklyn over 10 years ago, becoming a staple in the city’s close-knit community. A co-curator of the brilliant down2earth mix series, we first discovered dreemseed through online mixes via some of our favourite platforms such as pipipi and The Lot Radio. With regular gigs at Nowadays, Bossa Nova Civic Club and Elsewhere, playing at nights such as pi2pi, SLINK and Incienso label showcases, dreemseed is a go-to for ethereal, trippy sets to lose yourself to whether it’s deep, introspective warm ups or hands-in-the-air bass excursions for those peak-time moments. 

Speaking about this mix, dreemseed says, "as the series is based in the UK and I had been based in the UK for roughly half the year, I thought I would let the mix be informed by the soundscape I've been coming into contact with over there. I've been in a darker mood, not like evil-wise, but just a bit more introspective and secretive. I think this is reflective of that state of mind."

Lights off, heads down. 😈

Jek (@earthdogbk) rolls in with a lightning storm hour full of a little tech and a little house. Metallic, warm and hazy equilibrium. A superreal, kaleidoscopic slice of life.

d o w n 2 e a r t h 34 - Jek

NYC legend - DJ G ( @dj-ggggg ) takes over earth doggo this week with a piping hot hour of murky basslines, foggy pads, and minimal steeze.. peak time morning style

Questions for the dog:

--What's the best dance track of all time? 

The Cool Notes - My Tune.
 
--Best party in recent memory?

Nonstop at the end of January. I got there on Sunday at 9am and expected a very chill one because of the snow storm that weekend but the heads were out in force and the atmosphere and the music was incredible throughout the day.

--Peak time style or Early morning style?

The style when early morning is peak time : )

--Where do you think contemporary dance music is heading? What's the next wave? Any labels pushing a sound your attracted to at the moment?

I think that coming out of the pandemic there's a renewed sense of importance being placed on this culture and on real life human connections. This will only boost the interest in both underground and mainstream experiences centered around dance music and deepen its significance for people already participating. I’m very optimistic about what’s to come and I think the future will make fertile grounds for a lot of fun and more experimentation that help to grow what’s already in bloom.

I also see a refocusing on the roots of this culture underway and lot of conversations happening around how to honor the people of color and the queer communities that are responsible for sowing the seeds that have given life to this thing that brings so many people so much joy. I’m excited by the prospect of newly imagined spaces being led by these groups that will foster new movements and ideas to push everything forward. That’s the next wave, I think. 

Additionally, as technology develops I think we’ll see more attempts to push the experience of listening to dance music further into the digital world and I’m confident that in the not too distant future lots of virtual clubs will exist where people will put on a VR headset in their homes and pretend they’re raving. These things are probably already out there but I think in five to ten years we'll see a lot more. If another deadly virus emerges and we’re not able to get it together irl again then I guess I’m down with the tech if it helps keep the culture going. But as immersive as this stuff has the potential to be, it definitely won't match the feeling of being in a room full of mad-for-it ravers lost in the vibe and feeding off one another’s energy. Despite the best efforts of the Silicon Valley types who think they’ve got the read on what’s happening, there won’t ever be an app for that. The mainstream brands and promoters will probably embrace this and I think the underground will be unified in calling bullshit on it. So it'll be win, win.

And on labels that are delivering the goods, there's an overwhelming amount of people absolutely crushing it but I think what the Incienso fam are doing is right up there with some of the best in the world in terms of releasing a range of high quality and sonically diverse music.

--This mix is insane - what inspired you?

Thank you! I was mainly just trying to do something that I thought Earth Dog would be down with so you were def the guiding light. But in the back of my mind when I was choosing tracks I was thinking about the tripped-out, sultry sounds that I heard Luciano and Villalobos play in between CO2 blasts at Space in Miami one Friday afternoon back in December. Thanks for the opportunity to put it together : )

For the extended Q&A and OG pi pi pi track game please visit our website ~~~~> pipipi.life <~~~~~~~~

Introduce yourself? Pronouns? Where do you currently reside? 1 fact about yourself?

My name is Taya (she/her), I live in Berlin. I am Belarus born and raised, and World shaped and formed

How did you get your DJ name?

I was messing around with a friend, and we were laughing at how absurd this name would sound on a line up.

Said in a serious deep male voice

Yogic

Teleself

DJ LENTIL

After some backs and forths I came to terms with being the ridiculousness I want to see in the world

Fav bpm and why?

140 is the bpm I am truly comfortable in. If I go higher I am ramping it up. Slower than 140bpm is basically downtempo

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

Climax - these women are making their own space and crafting their own vibe in the current techno paradigm. Their mission and ethics are on point, while their music tastes reside outside of time.
3 X L - the existence of ambient influencers has been confirmed
D.U.M.P. - most importantly, a party. Bring what you’ve got and you are welcome here for who you are, but not for who you think you are ;)
Astral VIP - bend your mind with the music and bend your music with the mind.

What do you think future generations will think about the 2022 sound?

“What a strange loop”

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

Post capitalism. Humans gathered all the gun supply on Earth, loaded it on a big spaceship and sent it off into the cosmos. The rich are abolished. Reparations have been paid. Therapy has been mandatory for yt men for a few decades now. There is no such thing anymore as a “bedroom producer”, we record our music directly from our brains. Rave Etiquette and Rave History are the subjects studied in middle-school. There is no talk at the raves in the front of the dance floor - we have telepathy for that. DJing as a craft remains the same because it has always been ahead of its time.

DJ Lentil - 202˚

It's time to pass the decks to AV curator and DJ Boo Lean (Lauren Goshinski) who's always full of surprises and channels the energy of a recent storm in podcast number 110. It's a wild ride that goes straight in for the kill with tracks from Silence Groove and a Phantasy & Aphorite remix. Keeping that energy alive and pumping throughout the mix, Boo Lean uses this opportunity to rinse tracks that she hasn't put into mixes yet. Proving no storm is too strong for Boo Lean as she effortlessly weaves through the records in one take, thriving in amongst the chaos. In her own words, she describes the mix as "spring cleaning my mind, body, n’ soul. Deep Swifferin’ Mode." We certainly feel revitalised after this cleanse!

pi pi pi with deep creep @ The Lot Radio 07 - 25 - 2022

Unpredictable as both a DJ and an event organizer, Seattle's @grymnk brings a fresh, community-centered energy to the North American dance music scene and beyond. From throwing notorious raves in rented mansions and other unconventional spaces and bringing together international favorites and local heroes, to playing alongside artists like Ayesha, Object Blue, and Azu Tiwaline, grymnk is an energetic force. Their mix for Spontaneous Affinity is trippy, wonky, and devilishly fun.

Read the interview:
spontaneous.zone/046-grymnk

"When I made this mix, I had a couple weeks of being alone and to be honest things got a little weird. I think this will come through when you listen.

When I imagined people listening to this, my hope was that they would hear the struggle, the mental illness, but also the celebration of oneself and the wiggle of dancing in a room alone."

Introduce yourself? Hometown? Where do you currently reside? 

Hi I’m Nicki. I’m originally a Ft. Lauderalien. Currently living right on the border between Bushwick and Ridgewood.

If you could place a dj booth anywhere in the world… where would it be & what would you play? 

I would put it on the outermost ring of Saturn and play mid-2000s dubstep. 

Let’s play a pipipi game… I give you a word and you give me a track!

Advice to beginning dj’s? 

I’m a new dj too! First off, if you’re just starting to play out, definitely go early and check everything out and make sure you know where everything is and feel comfortable. Otherwise, I would say don’t try to play what’s trendy or what you think other people will like. Just play what you like even if it’s cheesy or seemingly wack. Trust yourself! And if you fuck up who cares, just keep going. Don’t compare yourself to friends/acquaintances/famous people who have been doing it for 10+ years.

Favorite club & why?

Bossa Nova Civic Club. You already know (◕ ˬ ◕✿)

Secret weapon track? 

W1b0 – Main Squeeze

Favorite b-side? 

Neurø – Paradigm. It’s insane.

Listen to 11:11 in your mix… what color do you see?

Light grey

Most underrated artist at the moment? 

AAAA (Cuatro-A) from Mexico City.

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

I would like to see more of the DJs I love in the community making tracks! It’s hard to get into, and expensive, but I would love to see that happen. It would be great to see some sort of platform to educate/learn from one another in this area. 

Track that makes ya wanna cry? 

Junq- Lila Dreams

Favorite late night snack? 

Ravioli. It doesn’t happen as often as I would like.
