"AN EXPERIMENT IN RHYTHM WITH OCCASIONAL BREAKS WITH SPOKEN VOCALS" —@JulianaHuxtable
Somewhere/sometime in the depths of a Brooklyn after hours Juliana decided she was down to do a mix for us of the techno variety, i say variety because this mix really doesn’t fit cleanly into anything but nor does anything she produces/creates which is what is important here. Juliana has essentially created her own lane locally and globally it’s hard to draw comparisons to her DJ and production style which very much applies to this trip of a techno mix. While listening it felt easy to reflect on the darkness and insanity of this past year with both a smile and a tear. Be prepared for your emotions to go HAM in the most cathartic way. Q+A and mix below:
