Warm melancholia and heady sonics from Iris - the Montreal-based DJ, fellow @n10.as host, and mind behind the queer-focused @underground-love-affair party and mix series (with a few shared contributors!). Their usual playing styles foreground an insatiable appetite for musics guided by emotion — “cyberjazz, aquabreaks, bubblestep, windmill techno, critter-hop, and punk house”. Intentionally created for the last months of summer, his mix runs the gamut through lush ambient, shoegaze, dubbed out leftfield reggaeton and glistening polyrhythms
“I feel this is a very nostalgia time of year and nostalgia is such a powerful sensation — like a deep yearning for parts of the past or escape from the present”
