This mix has me missing humid summers in TN.  The whole selection is excellent @sddp-dj :-)

Nick León is part of a newer generation of Miami producers who infuse modern-day club music with sounds from around the region, everything from Miami bass to reggaeton. In León's case, his most recent—and most exciting—music has focused on beats inspired by reggaeton and its sub-genre perreo, but with a musical palette that speaks to a love of electronic music from Aphex Twin to Burial to music on labels like NAAFI and TraTraTrax. (This is a predilection he shares with DJ Python, whom León just launched a new party with.) 

It's on the latter label he released the Rompediscoteka EP, one of the canniest genre fusions he's done yet, meant to hark back to the feeling he had when he first discovered reggaeton. (It came with eye-opening remixes from Maral, Kelman Duran and Henzo, producers whose personal-but-global approach mirrors León's own.) He also head a head-turning EP on Future Times, which threw Miami-style electro into the mix, with an ambient touch.

Like his productions, the young Miami DJ's sets can range from slow and low to high and tight, and his RA Podcast captures León in peak-time mode. It's a Latin-spin on everything from techno to tech house to cool-kid club music, with selections from Nico, Simisea, Siete Catorce, Ricardo Villalobos and MM adding up to a vibrant and rhythmically restless hour that soars across genres and scenes.

Advice for the DJs, producers and artists of our community:
I think the goal in deejaying and producing should be to deejay like no one else, produce like no one else, and take your time. And put the work in!

Juanita's Mix 077 with JADALAREIGN @jadalareign

Q. How would you describe yourself? 
A. Multiplicitous

Q. How long have you been a part of the NY music scene?
A. I've been a part of the scene for about 10 years, DJing for the last 8.

Q. Tell us about this mix.
A. This mix is a snapshot of my life and mood as of late. As I move into a new season, I'm learning a lot about my own capacity for resilience and fortitude, and this mix captures that nicely. It's introspective, emotional, deep with moments of darkness and hope, and is rounded out with a bit of celebratory fun. It explores the more ambient side of house and techno, with a nice blend of textures and percussion throughout. It's imperfect, uneven, lofi, but honest. I see it as a nice accompaniment to lounging, working, pondering, tripping, feeling or simply just existing.

MoMA Ready @ The Lot Radio 11 - 02 - 2022

With his lengthy, freewheeling sets, spanning everything from dancehall to new wave and IDM, Tom Boogizm is gaining recognition as Manchester's best DJ, playing sets that are eclectic not as a flex but as a necessity. He appeared at the Unsound 2022 opening party at 89, the former strip club beneath Hotel Forum, and delivered one of the festival's highlights - which you can now experience as an Unsound podcast.

Heading up the Shotta Tapes label, Boogizm has also developed a reputation for his unclassifiable productions under the Rat Heart moniker, where he's able to lurch into polar zones just as easily as he does in his DJ sets, flickering from deranged lo-fi disco into melancholy blues without missing a beat. It's Northern British eccentricity at its most blunted.

Notes on the Mix /// 
"With this mix I wanted to highlight the rich history of southern dance music, specifically bass music from Atlanta as well as surrounding areas & breakbeat oriented club music. Equal parts sincere as party starting, tender R&B love songs meet hard hitting electro breaks leaving you no choice but to swing this way!!"

"I imagine that 20 years ago, a society of hard-working, secretive machines buried twenty miles below the surface of Proxima B began receiving the wispy artifacts of our Terran speech that had escaped our radio stations, sung like a gospel through the vacuum of deep space, to be intercepted by their above-ground sensors. I wonder if that would have been the first time they ever heard music and thought to take a break and dance. I wonder if they bump their own subsurface rhythms. If they grind their servos on each other, if they sniff their own electromagic powders. Perhaps this mix is their response to my question."

Since the pandemic and the murder of George Floyd, there have been renewed efforts to shine a light on dance music's roots in Black communities. Still, there's a critical need for more Black-forefronted collectives and programmers—as well as more thoughtfully curated and balanced rosters of talent in clubs and festivals—to keep the origins of electronic music alive. 

In comes Brooklyn’s dweller festival, founded in 2019 by Discwoman's Frankie Decaiza Hutchinson, which aims to highlight exclusively Black talent from across the globe. This year’s edition featured a live RA Exchange with Nigerian-British selector OK Williams, who spoke to RA music critic Kiana Mickles about some of the deep-rooted inequities that continue to bar Black artists from contributing to the contemporary dance music landscape. They also discuss Williams’ ascent on the global stage—beginning from her Early Bird residency at NTS and full-fledged touring career post-pandemic—and her first forays into production. This is a lively discussion that includes questions from the audience. Listen to the episode in full.
