Unveiling my final dates of the year 🍷 Especially gassed to be going back to Australia this month. Many thanks @untitledgroupau for putting this together. 💟 🎨 by my artist in resident @mugwert 🫧 Tickets available on RA / Dice / Zeffy 10 Nov 2026

It's hard to believe that I'm finally announcing my debut album after two years, but today I'm so proud to share this news with you. 🕊️ In 2021, spurred on by a productive creative streak and the economic austerity of pandemic lockdowns, I applied for grant funding from the Canada Council for the Arts to write my debut album. Tbh I never thought I'd gain the self-confidence to write an album. It wasn’t until after spending time away from clubs & festivals whilst dedicating myself to daily sessions in the studio that I found the motivation and aspiration to make a musical statement that only an album could express. Like many other Chinese diaspora people in the West, I had felt a great deal of pain at the rise of anti-Chinese sentiment and racism in the media after the start of the covid-19 pandemic. Tired of expressing my frustrations online, I felt inspired to channel that into my music, to turn something that was filled with hate into a thing of joy and beauty. It was within this context that Homesick began to take shape. After researching the history of Chinese instruments, a concept began to form in which I could marry my love of sampling and analogue instruments. Using the 8 types of traditional Chinese instruments (silk, bamboo, wood, stone, metal, clay, gourd, and hide) as a guideline, I began writing each track with a focus on 1 of the eight. I worked with Chinese instrumentalists to play the guzheng and the xiao, whilst teaching myself the smaller hand drums like the kuaiban (bamboo clappers) and muyu (temple blocks). After successfully getting the grant, I wrote, recorded, arranged, and mixed all nine tracks over the first three months of 2022. More than just highlighting Chinese instruments, the music on this album encapsulates so many musical influences from my childhood when I began my lifelong love affair with music, and true to my style, incorporates a diversity of genres I love, from drum & bass to house, electro to breaks - even downtempo.

The day is here! Groovedeep “Speed Queen EP” is out on Bandcamp today, everywhere else digitally tomorrow. Order your copy via Bandcamp, @oneyewitness or your favorite specialty shop and swipe for snippets of the EP to solidify your decision to pick it up. :) Big big up to every head, DJ, bedroom headphone connoisseur, car sound system pumper who has picked up the EP so far. Thank you to @warning._____ @moskalus @tucca.premiere and @lesyeuxorange for the premieres! *Groovedeep “Speed Queen EP”* Groovedeep, the international supergroup comprised of Toronto’s @ciel_dj and DC’s @_james_bangura and @jacksonryland aka JR2k, brings @fixed_rhythms “Speed Queen EP”, a 12” of four racing, groovy, energetic, funky and lush techno cuts. “Speed Queen” opens up the EP with hypnotizing techno that eschews any four-on-the-floor demands. Up-tempo with a touch of house and handdrums and a tantalizing vocal clip. “Witness” has a similar structure…handdrums, non four-on-the-floor kick drum composition, rhythmic vocal chop-work, but whereas A1 is the leap into the deep, “Witness” has us diving down, exploring the eerier depths. Whip to the B-side with “Flashback”, a slightly more east coast club track while also incorporating a bit more of a pummeling kick. The aforementioned Groovedeep sonic signatures are there, and…can’t get enough of the handdrums?!?! Well then just let that last “Witness (Bongo Heavy VIP)” track slide in, a slightly meaner (and of course bongo-ier) boom of a take on the A2. Mastered by Dietrich Schoenemann Artwork by @r_ymondowen 300 copies pressed on black wax. Get it while you can! 15 Oct 2026

On December 4, we head to the trippier corners of house and techno with tINI, Anthea and Ciel at a secret East Williamsburg location. Three adventurous selectors with plenty of common ground. tINI moves between old-school house, techno and deeper, stripped-back records—a sound developed alongside her tINI and the Gang parties, which grew from free gatherings on Ibiza’s beaches into an international series. Anthea’s hypnotic, psychedelic selections draw on years behind the counter at London’s record shops, with the same curiosity informing the music she champions through her label, Partisan. Toronto-based DJ and producer Ciel opens things up further, bringing acid, breaks and percussive bass music together with a feel for melody and a playful edge. December 4 22:00-10:00 TBA East Williamsburg @tinicouldbeworse @__anthea__ @ciel_dj Early bird tickets are available now. Link in bio. 04 Nov 2026

After a whirlwind summer of dizzying BPMs & breakneck fast tempos on dancefloors, Slowburn is back to get you in the mood for slow and slinky and sexy grooves. With our first international guest DJ, @gi____gi_____ of @indexrecords @mood_hut 🫧🦋🌀 I first met Gi Gi back in 2023 when we both played together at the Watershed in Portland and as part of an INDEX showcase, he played an absolutely stunning downtempo set in the chill out room. I was so captivated, I stayed in Room 2 for the rest of the night after my set. There was a deep and dubwise quality to his selects that spoke to me. His music has been described as "sun beams cutting through crystal water". There is an evocative nostalgia to the music, a patience, and a playful rendering of textures that fit right in at Slowburn. ✨🔮 Now, hot on the heels of his full length for Mood Hut, Gi Gi will make his Slowburn debut and kindly slow it down for us for a special November night at @cafeteria_____ Early bird tickets now on sale via RA. 🌺💟 14 Oct 2026

New mix alert! Inviting @ciel_dj to deliver our 518th episode means you’re in for a two-hour trip reflecting the real range and originality of her craft. From the deep and dreamy ends of dub to wayward guitars and big, wiggly snares, the Toronto artist folds tempos, timbres and textures into a sound world that’s warm, full of suspense and very much her own.⁠ ⁠ Dive in now: link in bio. 28 Sep 2026

It's been a little over a week since my Dekmantel mix was released. THANK YOU to every one of you who've listened, asked me for IDs, and sent me sweet messages about what it means to you. Your curiosity about what I played makes me feel like all the hard work paid off, so I thought I'd share a few of my favourite tunes from the mix! These tracks acted as highway markers in my process of mapping out the musical journey and were crucial in the sequencing of the final track selection. 1️⃣ Colin Newman - The Orange House and the Blue House (swim~ records) - Colin Newman of the band Wire actually founded an electronic label with his wife Malka Spiegel and released a slew of esoteric guitar-downtempo-dubby shit in the late 90s and they were all gems. 2️⃣ CiM - First (deFocus) - this record is one of the best IDM records ever made and it needs no introduction. 3️⃣ Crave - In Pipe Words (Woodwork) - deep Cancon deliciousness from Toronto's very own Mark Thibideau, a true legend of the minimal scene, and one of my most abused warm-up tracks. 4️⃣ Paloma - Funky Bones (Fabrique) - this is a new-ish discovery for me and I think they are German. Dubby and soulful, this is one of my fav moments in the mix. 5️⃣ Swayzak - Re: Serieculture (Timothy Really) - gorgina stunner from a Ciel-dj-set mainstay. I'll never stop playing Swayzak. 💗🫡 6️⃣ Moreon & Baffa - Once Vueltas (Budare) - I found this specifically for this mix and since then I can't stop playing it in my sets. Like dancing in outer space. 🚀👩🏻‍🚀🪐 7️⃣ Gideon Jackson & Nathan Scott - Look what I did (Wiggle) - Is it even a mix by me if there isn't a wiggle tune???? 🌀🌀 8️⃣ Lipstick - Situation Again (electrolyt) - the most perfect closing track a girl could ever ask for. 💋 If you want the full tracklist, subscribe to my mailing list and get every track sent to your inbox TMR 🙂 THANK YOU FOR READING....AND LISTENING 🔊🗣️ Mix can be found in the link in my bio! 06 Oct 2026

A belated but very much deserved recap of my recent quasi-world tour — what a trip to perform on multiple continents on one tour, my back is NOT happy about that but it was 1000000% worth it!! 💓💓💓💓 Highlights include going to my very first Carnival in London — shout out to King Tubby's insanely massive stacks, I'm going to be feeling that sub bass even when I'm dead lmao. Every single moment in Brazil was a blessing and a privilege, I love everyone I met and spent time with down there. 🇧🇷🇧🇷 Plus the sold out show in Glasgow which I sadly have zero documentation of, my live show in Belgrade was such a joy, returning to Blå Oslo was an even better set than my previous time, and getting to spend my last days in Georgia was a true honour. ✨🫂🫶🏻 Grateful as always to everyone who invited me out. Thank you to @basssiani @reflector_club @karmakoma_belgrade @bylarmfestivalen @funkkthesystem @the_berkeley_suite @kodefervo @goptun @veludobh @rally.rally.rally Thank you to my agents Sam at @klsbookings, Nicole at @muisca.la and @puddy_uk for putting this together. And of course to @mutekmontreal x @canada.council for getting my butt over there. 💗💗💗 Love to you all!! 30 Sep 2026

Hello Toronto friends - today I'm announcing my next @standardtime.to residency, which'll be so special. 💗✨ This is the 1st time my residency will take place on a Sunday, and will feature a guest dj who has been very dear to me: @ccl_url 🦋 Me & Ceci met online circa 2015, when we were both mentioned in a Fader article about femme & queer dj collectives. They were active in Seattle at the time, s/o to TUF, and I had been doing Work in Progress parties here in Toronto. We started chatting over Twitter and struck up a friendship. In them I found a kindred spirit, and it's been a joy to embark on this journey of making DJing happen for ourselves, side by side, for the last 10 years. When we eventually put out our first rec in 2024, it truly felt like a culmination of years of trading trax & gossip over text, touring the world together, psychedelic DF excursions, & all of the 🍄 giggle-fests. 🫂 I wrote this about them: 𝘈 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘶𝘮𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘥𝘪𝘨𝘨𝘦𝘳 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘢 𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘭𝘺 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘪𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯, 𝘊𝘊𝘓 𝘪𝘴 𝘢 𝘥𝘫 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘤𝘳𝘢𝘧𝘵𝘴 𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘳𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘦𝘵𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘺 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘪𝘹𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦.
