I’d love to give a particular shoutout to Kindergarten Records, I will be releasing a split EP with Drummy sometime next month. The label owner Masha and the extended Kindergarten fam have welcomed me with open arms since my first release with the label in 2023.

Advice for the DJs, producers and artists of our community:
Give into your curiosity and passion! I find that exploring your interests can lead you toward unexpected, beautiful places.

I think it’s also incredibly important to build and uplift the community you find yourself in. We live in bleak times and the state of the music industry is unsustainable. We need to take care of each other!

About this mix:
I have an omnivorous appetite for music/sound and my interests are ever-shifting. At the moment, I’ve been interested in bridging the gap in my music library between electronic dance music and other stuff I enjoy.

For the past few years, I’ve had a particular affinity with forward-thinking club music, particularly tracks that you can’t quite put your finger on. This is definitely reflected in this mix!

With this mix Martini asks for you to please learn more about and consider donating to:

❁ Synth Library of Portland: I want to highlight the Synth Library of Portland, as this is an important collectively run arts organization that is an amazing resource for those who are underrepresented or economically disadvantaged.

I grew up in a rural town outside of Eugene and never had access to equipment or community. When I moved to Portland, I became a member of the Synth Library of Portland and finally had the chance to have hands-on experience with hardware and meet like-minded people. There are substantial economic barriers for those who want to explore physical hardware and I’m glad that I had the opportunity.

Although I still don’t really own any gear besides a few pedals and some MIDI controllers, the Synth Library also introduced me to the work of the sound artist and co-founder of the Synth Library, Felisha Ledesma. Her work is incredibly inspiring and I took a modular synth workshop she taught over Zoom which explored concepts of modular synths using Pure Data and Automatonism. This was eye-opening for me!
