Mix 042 for n10.as - Riv.ka

ffiles

Riv is a multimedia artist juggling many projects in their early stages. Fka aso ani (genre bending weirdness), she now goes by the aliases Demi gorl (queer party tunes) and R.ivy (ambient and chill beats). She’s been using her song creations to amplify the joy and peace she obtains from self care practices. She recommends pairing her ambient music, eclectic spiritual beats and wildly unpredictable techno experiments with candle lighting, crystal energizing and closed-eyed interpretive dancing sessions, respectively. This bright, gritty techno stepper of a mix is a portion of an informal 2021 recording. S/O DJ Coteries for hopping on the decks a couple times. The cover art is a manipulated image of a flower pot Riv decorated under the moonlight with repurposed beads from worn out 90’s sandals while amidst a power failure. The day after, she dropped it on the floor and it broke beyond repair. She offers a cheers to this cover art for making that disappointment feel less dire. Follow her on soundcloud @asoani. Reach out to her for a tape recently released on Kapha Selections. The intro on the R.ivy & Friends side is an exclusive modular jam by Riv and Damon which can only be heard off the tape itself.
