#087 Love, Grief & Sounds for Stomping

  • octubre 15, 2024 19:00

«Esta mezcla pretende ser una gestalt de sonidos tomados del techno y el electro, con un fondo de bassy house, sobre todo porque me distraigo y no siempre puedo concentrarme, ¡lo que espero que os mantenga interesados! Si bien espero que la mezcla sea capaz de valerse por sí misma y contar su propia historia, te adelanto, a ti – el oyente – que en una nota más personal, dentro de esta mezcla existen pistas con las que he luchado para averiguar cómo mezclar, así como pistas con las que he gritado y llorado, algunas en pistas de baile y otras en privado. Mi objetivo es que el oyente deje espacio para el sonido, a veces enfrentado, de melodías exuberantes y arrebatos ásperos. Espero que esta mezcla te encuentre donde estás, ayude a tu cuerpo a mantener el compás y te ayude a superar cualquier cosa alta, baja o tercera secreta por la que estés pasando en este momento de la historia.»

«This mix is intended to be a swirling gestalt of sounds borrowed from techno and electro, set to a pumping bassy house backdrop–mostly because I get distracted and can’t always focus; which hopefully will keep you interested! While I hope the mix is able to stand alone and tell its own story, I will preface, to you–the listener–that on a more personal note, within this mix exist tracks that I have fought with to figure out how to mix as well as tracks that I have screamed and cried to, some on dancefloors and some in private. My goal is for the listener to make space for the, at times, battling sound of lush melodies and harsh outbursts. It’s my hope that this mix is able to find you where you’re at, can help your body keep time, and help you work through whatever high, low, or secret third thing that you’re going through at this moment in time and history.»

#086 Emotion, Energy and Empowerment

  • octubre 8, 2024 19:00

«Este set es una selección de temas que realmente me han estado resonando últimamente, incluyendo algunos vinilos que aprecio y que no he tocado tan a menudo como debería. Quería crear una mezcla con emociones profundas e introspección, empezando con un poco de house italiano atmosférico y flotando brevemente hacia el house progresivo, antes de volverse más emotivo y atrevido. Al final, el conjunto estaba muy arraigado en los 90, con algunos temas que aportaban modernidad, aunque seguían siendo nostálgicos y descarados. Las voces de los temas se centran en los sentimientos, las necesidades y la autodeterminación, por eso también quise orientar la mezcla hacia el empoderamiento. Otra forma en la que quería que me empoderara a mí y a otras FLINTA es incluyendo a increíbles vocalistas y productoras femeninas, como Crystal Waters, Kim English, Dina Carroll, Vicky Martin y Ladymonix. Las voces son vitales para la cultura, ¡y espero que todas las colaboradoras de FLINTA obtengan el reconocimiento que merecen en esta escena!
La música house es tan poderosa porque puede evocar una amplia gama de emociones en todo el mundo, conmovernos de diferentes maneras y darnos espacio para expresarnos y conectar con nuestros sentimientos. Puede ser introspectiva, romántica, atrevida, sexy, edificante y mucho más. Esta mezcla, aunque sólo encarna partes del espectro emocional de la música house, es un reflejo de temas con los que he conectado, que me dan fuerza y, por supuesto, ¡me hacen bailar!»

«This set is a selection of tracks that have really been resonating with me lately, including some vinyl that I cherish and haven’t played out as often as I should. I wanted to create a mix with deep emotions and introspection, starting with some atmospheric Italian house and floating briefly toward progressive house, before getting more emotive and bold. The set ended up being quite deeply rooted in the 90s, with a few tracks bringing in modernity, though still nostalgic and cheeky. The vocals from the tracks focus on feelings, needs, and self-determination, which is why I also wanted to steer the mix toward empowerment. Another way I wanted to make it empowering for myself and other FLINTA is by including incredible femme vocalists and producers, such as Crystal Waters, Kim English, Dina Carroll, Vicky Martin, and Ladymonix. Vocals are vital to the culture, and I hope all FLINTA contributors get the recognition they deserve in this scene!
House music is so powerful because it can evoke such a wide range of emotions in everyone, moving us in different ways and giving us space to express ourselves and connect with our feelings. It can be introspective, romantic, bold, sexy, uplifting and more.This mix, while just embodying parts of house music’s emotional spectrum, is a reflection of tracks that I’ve connected with, that give me strength, and of course, make me dance!»

«Esta mezcla es una gran representación de cómo ha evolucionado mi sonido como DJ de house a lo largo de los años, y qué sonidos guardo con cariño en mi corazón. Desde el house soulful de la vieja escuela hasta el garage polvoriento, pasando por el electro, el deep house moderno, el minimal house y el sonido rave resurgido de los 90; este set es un gran testimonio de mi inquebrantable devoción por el groove.»

«This mix is a great representation of how has my sound evolved as house DJ throughout the years, and which sounds i hold dearly in my heart. Going from old school, soulful house to dusty garage, peaking into electro, modern deep house, minimal house & re-surfaced 90s rave sound; this set is a great testament of my unwavering devotion to the groove.»
