Tracklist & Interview: www.lowendtheorists.com/theory-therapy-mixes/theory-therapy-19-gi-gi

The latest Theory Therapy mix comes from Austin-based artist Gi Gi. I became aware of the producer after they released Lumino Pleco, one of the most spellbinding releases I’ve heard in a long time. The album, released on New York’s Quiet Time, is made entirely of samples from artists including Prince, Erykah Badu, Vangelis and Miles Davis, then reshaped and recontextualised to say something completely new. If it wasn’t for the liner notes, you would have no idea that this tactile, otherworldly ambient album contains tracks from some of music’s biggest icons.

The fact that it does though adds to the magic of Lumino Pleco. The record brims with life just as a city skyline is filled with people unseen to the naked eye. It is rich, intricately layered ambient music that moves and slowly unfurls, revealing new details with every listen.  

Since the release of the LP, I’ve been catching up with everything that Gi Gi has been involved in, including their incredible three-hour mix for c- and more recent recording for Mitamine. Like the music they create, the Texan’s mastery of rhythm, texture and tone are clear; each mix is absolutely seamless. 

The same can be said for their Theory Therapy recording. There’s unreleased music from Perila, Nueen and an unnamed musician alongside the likes of Dettinger and Massive Attack, tied together in a way that they become almost imperceptible from one another, regardless of how familiar you are with their songs. “The seams are blurred in a way that might allow the listener to become easier enveloped”, they tell us.

He is a multi-faceted electronic musician/sound designer based in Barreiro with three self-released EP's.
His sound is deep and captivating, exploring the different sonic palettes that range from noise, experimental, soundscape, lately focusing on the field of electroacoustics.
For this contribution to the series, you can expect noise, abstract and downtempo set, with originals and unreleased material exclusively for the Nightshift.
The 60 minutes you are about to hear are a testament to his approach towards sound manipulation and the layering of complex pieces. 
Without further ado, it is a pleasure to present this week guest, Y Basics!
