03: CCL, international selector of mystery

A true DJ’s DJ, CCL is typical of the kind of artist we both
admire: someone with reassuringly broad taste, a lifelong
affinity with the underground and a winningly self-deprecating
sense of humour.


After obsessing over their recorded mixes for ages we realised we
knew almost nothing about Ceci the person. Turns out, there’s
much to tell – with past lives in Moscow, Rome, Bristol and
Seattle, their life story veers from elite dance schools to
cider-swilling student nights via stints as a festival booker,
trainee coder and crisis hotline staffer.


We sat down with Ceci between two London gigs for a great IRL
conversation, going deep on the intricacies (and flaws!) of
Rekordbox, the politics of DJ collectives, the dynamics of queer
dancefloors, the importance of digital archiving and more, all
threaded through their unique life story.
