#096 Ace Of Bass

  • diciembre 17, 2024 09:00

«Para mí, el House es color, ritmo, felicidad y, sobre todo, alegría.
Como hacer Fump en el agua.
Sentir como la línea del bajo groovy recorre todo mi cuerpo y pensar que la libertad define el House.
Disfrutar siendo bailadora o pinchando, indistintamente.
En este mix te invito a bailar con ingredientes de Cereal Groover que podrían alimentar el motor de un Generador de Rave.
Hacer que el loft se convierta en Fuego y finalices disfrutando sonidos de estructura musical que suenan un poco a los 90.
¡Que lo hagan! ¡Sí!
Bailar como si estuvieras en el Club E.
Hacer que tu huella en el piso permanezca como mi huella musical en tus oídos.
Como el dulce sabor de una baya en tu boca.
¡Aquí es donde tengo la Alegría!
¿Qué Miras?
¡Únete a mí y toma la misma Medicina!
¡Mira cómo explotan los Bass Bins!
Sentir que bailamos juntes, luchamos juntes, saltando y disfrutando del sonido House para la pista.
Sudar juntes al ritmo de la música en cuerpo y alma con toda la pandilla housera.
Sentirnos libres como en el Teatro DV8.
Deja que la Iglesia que tú creas y nosotres destruimos desaparezca con la libertad de la música House y lata en tu cabeza como un Mantra Rave.»

«To me, House is color, rhythm, happiness, and above all, joy.
Like doing Fump in the water.
Feeling the Groove Bass line running through my whole body and thinking that Freedom Defines House.
Enjoying being a Danzer or playing, indistinctly.
In this mix, I invite you to dance, with Cereal Groover ingredients that could feed a Rave Generator engine.
Making The Loft so that it becomes Fire and you end up dancing with sounds of musical Structure that Sounding a bit 90’s.
Wurk it! Yeah!
Dancing like you’re in the Club E.
Making your Footstep remain as my music print in your ears.
Like the sweet taste of a Berry in your mouth. Here is where I’ve Got Joy!
What Ya Looking At?
Join me and take the same Medicine!
Watch Ya Bass Bins exploding!
Feeling like We Dance together, We Fight Together, Jumpin and enjoying the House Sound For the Floor.
Sweating together to the rhythm of the music in Body & Soul with the whole House Gang.
Feeling free like in the DV8 Theater.
Let the Church that You Create and We Destroy disappear with the freedom of House music beating in your head like a Rave Mantra.»

«El propósito del mix es fluido, para escuchar o para bailar siempre es válido, para mi house es la conexión de mil cosas, mucho groove, toque latino, toque político, trans rights e infinidad de historias! La selección de los tracks ha sido un poco freestyle, pero muchos de los temas que hace tiempo quería grabar juntos en un solo mix! ¡Sigamos bailando, Sigamos luchando!»

#088 Can You Really Dance To My Beat?

  • octubre 22, 2024 19:00

««Can You Really Dance to My Beat?» es una referencia a una de mis frases favoritas del tema My Beat de Blaze. La letra cuenta una historia sobre los orígenes, la ascendencia y la importancia de la música para los grupos marginados. Como persona sensible a los problemas del mundo en que vivimos hoy, estos temas resuenan profundamente en mí. Mientras exploraba los planos de la música electrónica moderna, me sentí atraído por los ritmos de la música tribal y sus múltiples capas. Como género enraizado en las influencias de los sonidos africanos, esta selección es una invitación a conectar con nuestro yo interior, nuestros instintos, y a liberar nuestras frustraciones con las injusticias del mundo a través de la danza. Animo a les oyentes a que se pongan los auriculares y me dejen guiarles en este viaje.»

««Can You Really Dance to My Beat?» is a reference to one of my favorite lines from the track My Beat by Blaze. The lyrics tell a story about origins, ancestry, and the importance of music to marginalized groups. As someone who is sensitive to the problems of the world we live in today, these themes resonate deeply with me. While exploring the blueprints of modern electronic music, I found myself drawn to the rhythms of Tribal Music and its many layers. As a genre rooted in the influences of African sounds, this selection is an invitation to connect with our inner selves, our instincts, and to release our frustrations with the world’s injustices through dance. I encourage listeners to put on their headphones and let me be their guide on this journey.»

#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!»

#083 Vinyl Only Tour

  • septiembre 17, 2024 19:00

«Mi primer contacto con la música House fue cogiendo y reproduciendo al azar una de las cintas de casete ilegales de mi hermana (¡así compartíamos música en los 90!). Debió de ser alrededor de 1998, cuando yo tenía unos 11 o 12 años. La cinta decía «Daft Punk – Homework» y yo no tenía ni idea de lo que era, pero me impactó al instante. Un par de años más tarde, cuando conseguí mi primer sueldo en mi primer trabajo, me lo gasté en un par de giradiscos y una mesa de mezclas de segunda mano para aprender a pinchar. Los primeros años de la década de 2000 fueron un revival del electro, el electroclash, la idolatría de la EBM y un fetiche por la estética de los 80. Así que eso era lo que yo utilizaba. Así que eso es lo que pinchaba. No mucha música house en realidad… Me hace mucha gracia que hoy en día mis sesiones de DJ estén tan impregnadas de la misma fuerte influencia del Chicago House de los 90 que tenía «Homework», especialmente desde que pasé tantos años sin pinchar nada de música house. Para este mix quise reunir muchos discos house que me encantan en un set Vinyl Only, la mayoría de ellos de mediados de los 90, muchos clásicos, algunos de ellos muy en el paraguas Chicago House, pero también algunos otros que caen en categorías como HI-NRG, Acid, Proto-House, Electro y Techno de los 90. Espero que os guste.»

«My first contact with House music was by randomly grabbing and playing one of my sister’s illegal cassette tapes (that’s how we shared music in the 90’s!). It must have been around 1998, when I was about 11 or 12. The cassette said «Daft Punk – Homework» and I had no idea what that was, but it blew me away instantly. Cut 2 to a couple of years later, when I got my first salary from my first job ever, which I spent on a pair of second-hand turntables and mixer to learn how to dj. The early 2000s were all about electro revival, electroclash, EBM idolatry and a fetish for the 80s aesthetics. So that’s what I used to play. Not much house music really… It’s so funny to me that today my Dj sets are so much infused with that same strong 90’s Chicago House influence that «Homework» had, specially since I spent soooo many years playing no house music at all. For this mix I wanted to put together many house records that I love in a Vinyl Only set, most of them are mid 90s, many classics, some of them very much in the Chicago House umbrella, but also some others falling in categories like HI-NRG, Acid, Proto-House, Electro and 90s Techno. I hope you like it!»

#068 Latinodrama Bar

«Muy frecuentemente la poderosa influencia de les migrantes latines en la creación y desarrollo de la música house es tristemente olvidada.
La selección de este set son retazos de lo que es, quizás, mi propia identidad híbrida: un migrante, latino y queer que vive en Berlín hace 12 años. Es quizás un scrapbook de experiencias y sentimientos transatlánticos.
En esta ciudad tuve el privilegio de conocer y aprender a experimentar la música house como una forma de arte que no está exenta de la espiritualidad humana. Y lo más importante: entender que para las personas queer, la mayoría de las veces una fiesta y un set son experiencias políticas.
Si una forma de arte creada por y para personas queer puede ser lo que sucede en las interminables horas de una pista de baile, crea espacios de encuentro y nos permite experimentar en la realidad utopías y futuros posibles, es sin duda un arte revolucionario. Y en la revolución, creo firmemente que todes querremos bailar.»

«Too often the powerful influence of Latin migrants in the creation and development of house music is sadly forgotten.
The selections in this set are snippets of what is, perhaps, my own hybrid identity: a migrant, latin and queer living in Berlin for 12 years. It is perhaps a scrapbook of transatlantic experiences and feelings.
In this city I had the privilege of knowing and learning to experience house music as an art form that is not exempt from human spirituality. And most importantly: to understand that for queer people, most of the time a party and a set are political experiences.
If an art form created by and for queer people can be what happens in the endless hours of a dance floor, creates spaces of encounter and allows us to experience in reality utopias and possible futures, it is undoubtedly a revolutionary art. And in the revolution, I firmly believe that we will all want to dance.»

«¡En Berlín, es hora de LEGALIZAR!
¡Ojalá pudiéramos conmemorar algo, pero aquí seguimos luchando contra el apoyo al genocidio!
El House juega un papel fundamental en mi vida, al igual que en la de muchas personas queer y migrantes. Junto con los afrodescendientes, los latinos han fusionado raíces para crear el estilo musical que nos hace bailar hacen décadas. Mis primeras raves, yá a los 26 años, me hicieron sentir parte de una escena artística única. Como estudiante y profesor de historia del arte, me di cuenta de que era parte de una expresión artística que aún no se enseñaba en la universidad. Desde entonces, el House y el baile han sido mi mayor fascinación artística.
Para este mix, seleccioné vinilos y tracks recientes producidos por personas que comparten experiencias de vida similares a las mías. Seguro que muchos los compré mientras estaba bien colocado de marihuana. ¡Parece que yo y la hierba tenemos un bello gusto musical en común! Entonces ahí están 39 tracks que me hacen tripear :)»

«In Berlin, it’s time to LEGALIZE!
I wish we could commemorate something, but here we are still fighting against support for genocide!
House music plays a fundamental role in my life, as it does for many queer and migrant folks. Alongside Afro-descendants, Latinos have blended roots to create the musical style that has been making us dance for decades. My first raves, at the age of 26, made me feel part of a unique artistic scene. As a student and teacher of art history, I realized I was part of an artistic expression not yet taught in university. Since then, House music and dance have been my greatest artistic fascination. For this mix, I’ve selected vinyl records and recent tracks produced by people who share similar life experiences to mine. I’m sure many of them I bought while being nicely high on marijuana. It seems like me and weed have a nice musical taste in common! So, here are 39 tracks that make me trip 🙂 »

#062 Music 4 Healing a Heartbreak

  • abril 10, 2024 19:00

«La música House llegó a mi vida cuando estaba pasando por una mala racha al final de mi adolescencia, así que pensé en hacer una mixtape de temas que me habría encantado escuchar entonces. Comienza a finales de los 80 con un puñado de temas «Proto-House» que podría imaginarme escuchando en el Paradise Garage (NY) & Warehouse (Chicago) para después adentrarme en el sonido House de los 90. Si alguna vez me has oído pinchar en una función, te habrás dado cuenta de que considero la música House como un gran lienzo sonoro para expresar mis sentimientos y por eso recurro a las voces tanto como puedo. Hay tantas variedades y sabores diferentes de House que, en parte, esa es la razón por la que parece que nunca me aburro de él. Muchos de los géneros que me inspiran pueden integrarse en una sesión de House, por ejemplo Soul, Gospel, Disco, Jazz, Reggae, Latin y muchos más.

La angustia que inspiró esto no fue exactamente una angustia romántica, sino más bien una angustia por la situación actual del mundo (en alemán hay una gran palabra llamada «weltschmerz» que yo describiría como algo parecido a «dolor del mundo», un sentimiento que parece haber estado conmigo desde los 15 años). Espero que esta mezcla te ayude a sentarte con tu tristeza y a recordar que hay que tener esperanza. He procesado muchas cosas en mi vida con la música House sonando, ya sea en casa o en la pista de baile con mi comunidad y siempre encuentro interesante cuando la gente me dice algo como «oh, no me gusta la música House». No la critiques hasta que la pruebes, ¿eh? »

«This all Vinyl mix displays some of my favourite house tracks from my collection. House music has such a rich and diverse history growing from other genres before it and influencing other types of music which have followed. Some of my favourites include the Soulful and Jazzy house music with some Garage, Tech House and Disco influences, leading on to more melodic Techno and clubby pumpers. House music for me is very positive and uplifting and radiates love and joy-perfect to lift your mood.»
