Rubix Cube (Original Mix)

In celebration of her upcoming gallery exhibition at FiveMyles gallery in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, TOP RANK Magazine asked me to put together a mix using songs that have inspired artist Nakeya Brown in her creative process. Putting the mix together was an absolute pleasure as her selections happen to be some of my all-time favs as well. Comprised of classics imbued with that special touch of Black Girl Magic, much like Brown's work this mixtape is sonic testament to a few particular cultural moments that have shaped black womanhood across generations. Enjoy it, share it, get into it :)

ABOUT THE SHOW///
TOP RANK Magazine and FiveMyles are pleased to present In Private Moments, an exhibition featuring the photography of Nakeya Brown. Brown's whimsically colored, minimally composed still-lives examine the visualization of black womanhood by engaging with the fraught cultural politics of hair.

With a conceptual focus on the objects and rituals of hair maintenance, Brown's portraits present the duality of emotions associated with black hair aesthetics - happiness and pain; beauty and sacrifice; collectivity and alienation - to render visible the deeply intimate process of self-representation.

Brown's photography is featured in the inaugural issue of TOP RANK Magazine.

Allı Turnam is a Turkish folk song. This is a live performance with Yaybahar includes mostly improvisation and conversation with the song's melody. I played with two amateur musician they played Turkish drums, Bendir. They played with very well emotions and minimal style... Rhythm and Yaybahar, they are the best friends. I used 'Just intonation' fret system included one more microtonal fret for that song... Recorded by a smartphone... New recordings will be nice quality...

@derrok ~ Chile.

“Sentir las cosas es lo que marca la diferencia, el poder estar y que estén en el corazón de uno como persona.” 

Here’s top Chilean quality in electronic music. Derrok has gifted us with new material, unreleased tracks, special gifts, plus a hint of what’s coming on his second album. 

His journey through music has gotten him releases with Drosssel, Akumandra, Nomade and more; his performances are memorable and his essence is timeless.

We are thankful for a one of a kind mixtape that will be remembered for long. Such a beautiful, well-crafted psychedelic passage through ourselves and the Earth we live on.

"Derrok's sound is rich in detail and scope, balancing traditional latin themes and ancient ritualistic sounds with modern house and electronica, there’s also some unexpected and unusual diversions along the way. It feels like taking a trip back in time to a more primitive and dynamic time in the human experience"
@metronrecords

Enjoy this while playing cards with your friends, introspecting, dancing, working, being in nature, living!

The Mixtec are indigenous Mesoamerican peoples inhabiting the modern day Mexican states of Oaxaca, Guerrero and Puebla in a region known as La Mixteca. The Mixtecan languages form an important branch of the Otomanguean linguistic family.

In pre-Columbian times, the Mixtec were one of the major civilizations of Mesoamerica. Important ancient centers of the Mixtec include the ancient capital of Tilantongo, as well as the sites of Achiutla, Cuilapan, Huajuapan, Mitla, Tlaxiaco, Tututepec, Juxtlahuaca, and Yucu–udahui.

The term Mixtec (Mixteco in Spanish) comes from the Nahuatl word Mixtecapan, or "place of the cloud-people" or "people of the rain place."

Dancing in a club with the flashing lights leaving colorful shadows on your closed eyes or the sun dancing on your skin between the blue sky and sea are moments out of time and this is its soundtrack.
Recorded at a magic place somewhere in the heart of Berlin <3

Last EP from LOUISAHHH!!! 

She loves playing and making records more than anything else in the whole world. She also enjoys singing.

Raised in an atmosphere bursting with passion for music, LOUISAHHH!!! (born Louisa Pillot) started singing and playing instruments at an early age before discovering a passion for DJing. Starting at age 17, sneaking into New York City clubs with fake IDs, LOUISAHHH!!! (a name chosen 'as a war cry or a shriek of delight') has since honed a style that is hard but deep, tough but tender.

After moving to Los Angeles in 2006, LOUISAHHH!!! became half of house-centric production duo NYCPARTYINFO, releasing records with Throne of Blood, Nurvous and Young Adults. However, it wasn't until friend Danny Daze requested some vocals for his group Senor Stereo that LOUISAHHH!!!'s talents as a singer began to shine, gaining more notoriety as modern classic 'Your Everything' climbed the deep house charts.

Amidst this whirlwind of excitement, a fateful meeting of French techno wonderkind, Brodinski spiraled into a fast friendship and eventual collaboration for Brodinski's young label, Bromance Records. With 'Let the Beat Control Your Body' and 'Nobody Rules the Streets' becoming peak-time anthems, and explosive vocal collaborations in the realms of both deep house and new techno, LOUISAHHH!!! was getting ready to release her own productions into the world.

2013 brings about LOUISAHHH!!!'s first serious solo EP on Bromance records. Supported by dynamic, emotional, ferocious DJ sets rife with technical finesse, LOUISAHHH!!! maintains that 'she is thrilled to be alive', and that her music is an active expression of this.

LOUISAHHH!!! is thrilled to be alive and loves you very much.
