Super eclectic guest mix from DJ Maiya out of our hometown Richmond, VA, kicking off the 2024 mix series proper! Hope yall enjoy-Growing up in a Gujarati household with a very musical family, I was exposed to music from around the world constantly. So much of the joy I experience in DJing comes from finding rhythms that represent larger diasporic communities and that translate the universal language of groove right on the dancefloor. In putting this mix together, I was inspired by the duality of wintertime to create a mix that allows you to chill yet travel the world, rest yet dance at the same time. While this mix centers on downtempo house and techno, you’ll also hear R&B, reggae, drum and bass, classical Indian, and Afro-Latin flavors sprinkled throughout it. - DJ MAIYATracklist:Heyahin - Yusuf Lemone, Shooresh Fezoni, Marco Tegui (2018, Germany)Bangalore Whipsers - Andi Otto, MD Pallavi (2016, Germany, India)Dameek Majeb - Ahmed Ben Ali (2008, Libya)Youm Wara Youm - Samira Saeed feat.
