SonarMix 040: Drea - the past and present of Black dance music
Disco and grime, rap and afrobeats, Chicago house and amapiano. Rising Madrid-based DJ
Drea
connects influences from her formative years with the sounds of the global club underground for the latest edition of our SonarMix series.
“My sound takes in a wide variety of styles,” says the
Rinse FM resident
, alluding to a childhood spent listening to r&b, disco, hip hop and house, as well as her current passion for baile funk, Jersey club and kuduro. All styles and genres that speak to her own African heritage: “I always try to consider the cultural background of these sounds when putting together a set,” she explains.
Loose-limbed amapiano and neck-snapping grime give way to
Mr Ruthy
’s UK garage flip of
TLC’s classic ‘No Scrubs’,
Yaeji
’s laidback hip house collides with amped-up Brazilian funk, and a wild gqom
edit of ‘Hackney Parrot’, courtesy of
State OFFF,
swerves into
moktar
’s furious chaabi percussion. And that’s just the first 20 minutes… By the time the mix winds down, as footwork fades in and out of
Erykah Badu
’s sultry ‘Call Tyrone’, it’s impossible to recall how many genres you’ve heard.
What links it all is, as Drea succinctly puts it, “energy” (plus all those “old school edits” dotted throughout). There’ll be plenty more of that at
Sónar by Night,
although she won’t give much more away. “I prepare all my sets with love but I don't like to set expectations,” she says. One piece of advice: don’t expect your average warm up set.
