Eytan Tobin

'Exclaim! Mix 02'

BY Daryl KeatingPublished Jan 12, 2017

For the second instalment of Exclaim!'s all-Canadian mix series, we're very excited to bring Eytan Tobin to the floor. He's a key member of Toronto's Bedroomer collective, a group of artists, producers, and DJs whose members include Hudson Alexander, Lum, Kare, Internet Daughter and Carson Teal, to name a few.

Their parties are a weirdo's dream, ranging from comfy-clothed sleepovers to body-part-themed sweatboxes decorated with papier-mâché genitals. If Bedroomer has a modus operandi, it's inclusivity: they're not pegged by one style or one type of person. They come across more like a gathering of oddball foragers than anything else — sifting through the detritus of wayward pop and Internet off-spill to build something entirely new.

And so, as you might expect, Exclaim! Mix 02 plays like an archetype for the collective as a whole, rolling through a number of styles in its hour-and-40-minute runtime. Opening with some sullen vocal cuts, the mix eventually gives way to frantic footwork and jungle, before closing off with dirty trap and hip-hop.

The whole thing is then peppered with gratuitous gunshots, acid warbles, a healthy dose of ghetto-rave and a few Bedroomer goodies to boot, some of which are from the EMO EDITS tape that's set to drop tomorrow (January 13).

Check out the mix below, along with some words from Tobin and the tracklist.

If this mix seems long, it's because I had a lot to get out. 2016 was kind of a... weird year. I split this up into a few sections so I could cover a lot of the music I've been working on — my peers and Bedroomer pals music + a lot of favorites and inspiration from the past year. The first part is just stuff in the slower realm; I tried to start it off moody. Around the 23-minute mark it kicks into some footwork, which leads on to jungle and DnB. I close off the mix with trap-leaning styles, hip-hop etc. — a lot of Internet Daughter who I've been collabing with heavily this year. You can probably catch me doing at least one of these styles in the club when I'm on my own or with my best DJ friends.

I sprinkled in bootlegs that I'm releasing in early January. I'm hoping for a good (clean) start to 2017 so I don't have to bore folks in 2018. Stay tuned for maybe less Bedroomer showcases in the beginning of the new year but a lot of music from the roster 100%. The family has been quietly and very organically growing over the last while.
