MIMS Guest Mix: DILETA (Coolground, Montreal)

Allow me all you Music Is My Sanctuary regulars to introduce you to one of Montreal dopest up and coming DJ’s in our scene. Dileta is the founder of the Coolground collective and also one of the resident DJ’s of the Homegrown Harvest parties.

I always have an immediate kinship with anyone in Montreal has that plays electronic with that loose, swinging, abstract, unquantized feel and just from nerding out with Dileta about music I knew that this mix was going to be stellar. It did not disappoint. Proper beat science I tell ya!

@diletamtl: This mix is an experiment in dynamics between various ultramodern ‘cool vibe’ corkers and house stompers, with some UKG and 100-something drummy chugging thrown in for good measure. When assembling it, I tried to focus on two things. First, rhythm juggling and layering, often changing between diagonal lift and forward propulsion, and second, toying with the impression of free fall through the use of ascending and descending high-pitched synths and abrupt drum pattern changes. There’s also a fair share of cheeky fun inside. Thanks so much for listening!
