stud1nt’s Mix For Discwoman Is A Versatile Barrage Of Club Sounds
It features tracks from DJ Haram, quest?onmarc, NA Nguzu, HITMAKERCHINX, and many more.
The latest installment of creative platform Discwoman's mix series comes from Izzy Barreiro, aka stud1nt, a Queens producer, musician, DJ, and KUNQ affiliate. Featuring tracks from DJ Haram, quest?onmarc, NA Nguzu, & HITMAKERCHINX, the mix is a versatile barrage of club sounds with a bittersweet late-night timbre. Highlights include a robotically redone sample of The ARC Choir's "Walk With Me" (made famous by Kanye West's "Jesus Walks"), a myriad of breathless Jersey club tracks, and a brightly soothing edit of Rihanna's "Work." Navigating between tempos effortlessly, stud1nt encourages you to leave it all on the dancefloor in just under half an hour.
"I always feel a little more free when I make a mix as opposed to when I DJ live," they explained to The FADER over email. "I know that people are paying closer attention, and I can obsess over the subtleties of sound. I let the relationship between club tracks and more 'abstract' stuff play out totally unsupervised. This mix is one long, serendipitous blend."
You can catch stud1nt at Trans-Pecos next month with Elysia Crampton, Sadaf, Shellz, and Che Gossett — for more info, check out the party's event page. Until then, let this mix tide you over. Listen below.
