Our next mix comes from @deejay_slug. He can be found co-running the party Maximum Tilt in Berlin, and is one half of the maximalist rave production duo, 'Ecki Pirates’. Containing lots of delightful tracks from himself and friends, this mix represents a step away from typical dancefloor-oriented music to something more off-kilter and introspective.

Disclaimer: I am a white cis woman and am continually trying to come to terms with the privileges that come with that. The music I play originates from black people and I want to honour them in an appropriate way. Unfortunately, this is still forgotten in many places today and thus the colonial continuum is also perpetuated on a musical level. I enjoy playing genres and music from many places around the world, but I try to do so in a respectful way. If I don't succeed, I am open to criticism. I am learning every day. 

Furthermore, the fight against patriarchy is an important concern of mine, which is why I try to use as much music produced by non- cis male people as possible. That's super hard, because this field is still massively cis male-dominated. One way I found a little less shitty is to include as many non-cis male vocals as possible and also ones that de-taboo non-cis male pleasure. 

Thanks for your attention!
