ZENA MIXSERIES NO. 103 - JUNA 

JUNA 
(she/her)
Techno - Hard Trance - Trance

,,JUNA is a Cuban/American artist, born and raised in Berlin. Her style is a vibrant fusion of rhythms that are influenced by Techno, House, Trance, and Reggaeton resulting in infectious hard-hitting grooves."

,,I have always been an activist and passionate about giving voice to those who have been systemically silenced throughout history. As an upcoming Cuban/American queer female artist in the music industry, my senses have been forcefully heightened by the glaring fact of how male-dominated club culture is.

Male colleagues/DJs have automatically viewed me by default as lesser-than or a bad DJ since I am a woman before they have even heard me play. I have seen over and over again how I have had to prove myself more than those who identify as men. I have seen that in a room full of artists, male DJs usually stick together and alienate everyone else.

However, I am grateful to the queer community for making me feel safe, the Latinx community for always making me feel at home, the African-American community for creating Techno, and my fellow non-male DJs who move me and whom I continuously learn from.

What drives me to keep pursuing my DJ passion is being continuously inspired by my non-binary and female predecessors in the music industry and culture. They have paved the way for people like me nowadays and created the space for us to be able to have the privilege to play in."

"I've always loved mistakes; it's the hidden beauty in all art" - Andrew Weatherall

Transparent Sound are the original dons of UK electro, not exactly household names yet an act with so many under-repped classics that once you dive into their catalogue you might end up emptying your bank account on Discogs. 

To save you going down this calamitous path as well as to finally, raise TS to the level of notoriety they deserve, Tresor Records is very proud to announce the release of Accidents 1994-2023.

Formed by Orson Bramley and Martin Brown in Bognor Regis in 1994, Transparent Sound have managed to create 30 years' worth of some of the best electro from the British Isles, despite claiming to not know what they were doing nor how their instruments work. 

It's likely that it's this lack of knowledge that led to the quality and longevity of their output - the pair experiment and tinker with the machines until something pleasing appears then follow that sound down whatever path seems fruitful: "the confidence of ignorance" as a slightly more-famous Orson, Orson Welles, once put it. 

This tactic has paid off well and found them stumbling into many notable adventures, from remixing The Cure to performing during an intermission between two halves of a lecture - none of which they understood as it was in Spanish.

The compilation collects a lucky-for-you 13 of their most glorious electrical accidents on a three-disc set including the dancefloor hits Punk Mother Fucker (a mainstay of Villalobos sets at the time of release), and No Call From New York (as heard on Helena Hauff's perfect 2017 Essential Mix).

The package also comes with 'Windows To Your Sole' from the unreleased white label Transparent Sound 007, other unreleased tracks, and special 2023 edits as well as six digital bonus tracks.

HER 他 Transmission 134: howrøng

Welcome back to another Transmission broadcasting from the HER 他 Transmission Mix Series, our mix series showcasing amazing artists from around the world. For the edition, we bring you a mix from Singapore DJ and artist, howrøng.

Bouncy beats, hard kicks and queer anthems - howrøng‘s sonic selections are influenced by the same intense energy that inspired him when he was living in Berlin’s underground electronic scene, hearing sets from the likes of Raven, Chlär and LSDXOXO. 

As a resident DJ for queer collective “Bussytemple”, howrøng aims to create safe rave spaces for queer folk in Singapore with his music. His distinct style can be described as a journey through groovy and hard techno, dipping into queer pop, ghetto tech, and tribal tunes - howrøng never fails to bring the energy wherever he performs.

Please enjoy the mix and remember to support, share, and be kind to everyone!
