New mix online for @dazed and I’m also sharing the accompanying interview below 🧚♀️ photo and styling by @cornichedotcom
How is your summer going? What have you been up to?
Courtesy: I’ve been working on a merchandise collection for an upcoming show with designer and artist @filipsamuelberg I’m also happy about new work with Danish-based creatives and collective, @cornichedotcom They have styled and documented multiple of my performances and editorials.
Besides that, I’ve been reading a lot. Currently, I’m carrying around Joan Didion’s The Year Of Magical Thinking, The Intellectual Lives Of Children by Susan Engel, and @heavy_traffic_mag
You released your debut Night Journeys in May, how do you feel about it?
Courtesy: It feels like it came out at the right time, and if you know any artists personally you would also know that the feeling of content towards realising a new project is rare and a gift.
What are some of the inspirations behind Night Journeys?
Courtesy: When I wrote the music for Night Journeys, I was listening to Steve Reich’s piano phase pieces as well as trance and euro dance from the 90s and early 2000s.
What are some of your earliest memories of music? Have they influenced your sound at all?
Courtesy: I would go to children’s discos as a preteen and dance to pop, euro dance and trance, and that definitely influenced the music I am interested in today as an artist.
Tell us about your Dazed mix.
Courtesy: In my practice as a DJ, I am currently working a lot with the aesthetics of pop music, and I used this mix to blend music where pop and dance merged in a particularly emotional and endearing way.
