Juanita's mix 51 with Simisea @simisea

Q. How would you describe yourself?
A. Sugar, spice, and everything nice.

Q. How long have you been a part of the NYC music scene?
A. I’ve been a part of it for as long as I’ve lived here, which is 10 years now. Before that I was working in nightclubs & for promoters in Miami, my hometown, before I moved to NYC to go to music school. The music communities I’ve been a part of here have been my life & family for the past decade. I don’t really know that I can do anything else but work in music. I’ve had a few different music jobs throughout the last decade, but currently I work at the record label RVNG Intl. which has been my musical home for the last 6 years. There I project manage records and manage artists. I also run my own label with Tristan Arp called Human Pitch, and run another label and party series with my pals Enayet, K Wata and rrao called SLINK.

Q. Tell us a little bit about this mix.
A. This mix is my love letter to summer, my favorite season. Just as I was about to begin pulling tracks, I came across a beautiful book called Summer Solstice by Nina MacLaughlin. It’s a heartwarming essay exploring the meaning of summer in our lives. A perfect and inspirational coincidence that this book and I would find each other for this mix.

In this mix is a full summer day and all of its possibilities….Waking up to a balmy summer morning, sun bouncing off leaves from vines desperately trying to crawl through your apartment window. A cold shower to rinse off the dewy night’s sweat. It’s hot out. A stroll outside, thick humidity filling your lungs. A car ride to the beach with friends, windows down. Nothing beats a summer ride to the ocean; the perfect amount of time to listen to a mix. A BBQ in the park; a loud PA system blaring summer’s ecstatic joy. Sunset…an endless pastel New York sky that stops everyone in their tracks, no matter how many summer days they’ve seen come to a close. You feel cute, you’re kissing your newly blossomed summer crush. Is this the best day ever? Is this summer better than the last? An evening out with friends. What’s the move? Too many. You're unstoppable. Stumbling into bed, full moon so bright your cheap window shades don’t do shit; but it’s ok, you lay there and reminisce on a beautiful summer Saturday. “I have so many more left”….You wake up abruptly the next morning to a knock at the door. Fall is here.

Juanita's Mix 051: Simisea

Experimental sound artist KMRU(@kamarujoseph)is a master of quietness. His music is as much about empty space as it is the delicate field recordings that fill it in. The Kenyan artist has been perfecting this balancing act from his base in Berlin, most notably on 2020 full-length Peel. It's a record of slowly unfolding synth beauty and drawn-out drone mindfulness. Soft focus chords bleed and blend into one another like different shades of watercolour paint and the environmental nature of the sound sources lends it a gorgeously natural atmosphere.
For this week's most meditative mix, KMRU puts together an hour of soothing sound in a painterly fashion. It is unhurried but always going somewhere thanks to a gentle underlapping rhythm, expansive synth arc or little hiss of static. What sounds like distant vocal calls drift in and out of the mix which at times is like a recording from the furthest recess of the cosmos, at others the pleasant ambiance you might hear out of a Berlin window on a sunny afternoon.

C to the Power of X: Bake with Kassem Mosse - 26 September 2022

Friday morning, @jakemuir opened Hemlock Hole with an absolutely spellbinding morning ambient set. The 'Jake Fan Club' were front and center with a comfortable chair in tow. This wasn't a 4x4 dancefloor moment and those who didn't know quickly understood the magic that Jake was creating. It was a beautiful way to start the day and we are grateful for Jake's ability to generate such a special atmosphere.

First mix of the year is by NYC based Yumi. What a delightful listening here. She created an exciting mix that kicks if with a weird up cosmic episode, ending up in jacking acid territories. Blast. x

"Starsystem endurance. Arrival station Centauri RY70X. Cryosleep memory leak; maunder sterile corridors. Grit thoroughfares. Recollect high ability: wildstyle! Abandon former life isolate. Art-zeal-fixation.

Beyond all mire.

The heavenspot ensures death, tag it anyway.” L.C.

Delighted to host NAP Influence mix on Oddity Radio for @sonidoisla

@napmusick : The mix is an amalgamate of disparate inspirations behind the label. Here you’ll find music from some of my friends who inspired the label and who were also behind some of the first releases (Scott Gailey, Yu Su, Spencer Davis). Likewise, there’s a lot of formative records across various genres and labels which were some of the instigators behind starting a label. A lot of these I found working at Dandelion Records which was a shop I frequented and worked at during my teens/ early 20’s in Vancouver. Shout out to Jeff Knowlton and Les the record man – my music dads!

Turn on, tune in and don't drop out!
