Juanita's Mix 093 with Yibing @yibingg

Q. How would you describe yourself?
A. Emo & bubbly, Chinese-Mexican, cycling enthusiast, overthinker, moon in gemini.

Q. How long have you been a part of the NY music scene?
A. In literal terms, since 2017, when I started working with Beats in Space (shout out Tim!). Met some of my best friends throughout those years (RVNG crew 4e). I think a lot has changed since then (in great ways!) and I feel a deeper sense of community & belonging with each passing year. 

Zip codes aside though, music has always been where I’ve felt most at home.

Q. Tell us a little bit about this mix.
A. The first song I knew I needed on this mix was Cabaret Voltaire’s “Resonator,” and then it kind of morphed into a bunch of different ideas and iterations from there. The process felt trippy and somewhat contradictory. I lost the plot a few times. But that’s just how it goes sometimes when the mezzo’s kick in!!! I finally recorded this mix a week after Sustain, on a gloomy and rainy Sunday in Dev’s studio. Steph helped me master it ❤. I was still riding off that high of feeling so deeply held by my friends, feeling so rooted in this city I love so much. 

The sound on this mix is somewhat slippery and introspective. There’s a bit of nostalgia and yearning, but also optimism for the future. Overall, it’s a letter for what 2023 has been so far - connections & missed connections, ebbs & flows. What a whirlwind.

Hope you go on a bike ride & cross a few bridges with this mix 🚲

𝒴𝒾𝒷𝒾𝓃𝑔 | US, Brooklyn

Brooklyn-based DJ, @yibingg went on an all night long at her favorite wine watering hole, Mansions back in February. Three hours excerpt jumping between proggy tracks to wonky and warped basslines, and rounded out by some spaced-out ambient interludes and dreamy house synths - well worth the journey 🌱

Transmissions From Planet Groovy — Yibing [@yibingg] 

Recorded on 08/08/24 at Public Records in New York

 Yibing says: 

"Playing GROOVY GROOVY for the first time ever with legends Baby Leo and Akanbi after years following this incredible party and community was so special. They’ve put in so much work in creating a whole energy around it, with an unwavering anything-goes ethos that really allows you to push yourself and your sound further. It felt like the perfect environment to bring in some tracks that make me emotional, and weave them with others that make me feel challenged. It was so inspiring to go into a deeper journey on a Thursday night in a club setting, and feel an incredibly open-minded room, willing to go there with me. Thank you GG for creating this energy wherever you go. 10 years of music magic. LET’S GO!!"

Tranquilamente Radio with Yibing @ The Lot Radio 08-01-2025

Tranquilamente Radio with NEMA HÄN @ The Lot Radio 08-30-2025

Welcoming one of our personal favourite's from the big apple! A positive conductor of all things deep and dreamy, NYC's @yibingg is a longtime resident on The Lot Radio with an impeccable ear for contemplative sonics, ever thoughtfully sliced and diced with a big signature smile :)

Time to hit recline and let Yibing tranquilify your mind.

Q. What sounds or feelings did you draw upon when gathering inspiration for this mix, and what listening environments could you imagine it being best enjoyed in?

A. I’ve always been drawn to uplifting sounds, but I also love deep, percussive music and melancholic minor key melodies, which I think there’s a lot of in this mix. Hopefully a nice journey to drift into and daydream with :)

I really wanted this mix to be a sort of homage to the sound of MDC and the AU music community (as I hear it), which I connect with deeply. I find it so playful, psychedelic and beautiful. It definitely took me a while to untangle this, especially knowing it was for one of the most goated series out there… One that’s inspired me time and time again.

Personally, my favorite place to test mixes is on my bike. Maybe not the safest spot to zone out, but it’s become part of my post recording ritual. 

Q. Are there any songs in the mix that you were especially excited to share, and what is it about these tracks that resonate with you so much?

A. Atone's "Lost & Found"! I became obsessed with Tonal Ocean's Atone Special after it aired on NTS last year. Atone is, of course, an Australian project from the mind of Andrew Fitzgerald. I've listened to that mix countless times. "Atonement" is really just such a perfect record to me.  

I played "Lost & Found" last year at a festival that Doc Tom and CZ Wang curated called In The Open. It's still one of my favorite sets I've ever played and a memory I will cherish forever... I felt people really locking in during it and I was surrounded by some of my closest friends too… Music & friendship - truly nothing better than it.

Q. Tell us about the evolution of Tranquilamente Radio on The Lot Radio, you play such a wide variety of beautiful music on the show, do you approach each show with a theme of sorts or just let things flow naturally?

A. It's wild to think that I've been involved with radio in one shape or another for over a decade at this point... Through so many changes, radio in its different iterations has remained the only constant.

When I started the show on The Lot Radio almost five years ago, it was deep during the pandemic and I wanted to foster a space for more laidback, at-home listening music. The inspiration for the title of the show was the Pacific Ocean - thinking about oceans as connectors of all these beautiful ~music waves~ around the world.

I have done some themed shows over the years - I do an indie rock special every year, as a nod to my roots and to what I was playing back at KCSB, a college radio station in California where everything started. I also did a Canto-pop special a while back with some music I grew up listening to. More recently, I did a Music From Memory special that I really enjoyed, using the opportunity to really dive deep into everything that's come out from that label. I definitely want to keep doing more of that.

I find it exciting that even though the show is pretty eclectic, it’s developed a sound of its own. I definitely have a predilection for weirdo, left-field music and I love that the show can be a platform where me and my guests are encouraged to explore different sounds beyond the club. I think doing the show has also taught me and motivated me over the years to bring that sound into my sets too.
