Aspartame
Lumidee to start, Laurie Anderson to close and all manner of blends, bootlegs and 200mph club trax sandwiched in between. A one-of-a-kind mix right here.
About this mix
This mix is inspired by the profane and polysemous experience of the club – joy, anxiety, uncanny memories, broken thresholds.
I see DJing as aestheticised fandom, so I always try to make edits and mixes that are hopefully as fun to hear as they are to make. Bootlegs and blends work well here, injecting propulsion with meaning, connecting functional to popular, knitting together playful and sincere.
I'm really grateful to Total Freedom for his love and his music – we all walk in his shadow.
We all live atop this shitheap they call life; we may as well pick through the trash and find something beautiful together.
