Addly Muff

Some sets defy categorization, serving instead as a fascinating peek into a DJ’s personal, possibly chaotic, record collection. Addly Muff’s Lapi Takeover in CDMX is a brief, bizarre, and utterly captivating slice of experimental electronica that makes David Guetta sound like an avant-garde composer. The vibe is one of curated absurdity and sonic adventure, perfect for the hour when everyone’s too committed to leave.

With only four tracks spanning 118 to 158 BPM, this is less a club set and more an art piece, averaging 142 BPM but defined by its wild dynamic shifts. The keys jump from 4A to 11A, highlighting a deliberate lack of harmonic mixing in favor of jarring, conceptual contrasts. Addly Muff lets each segment breathe, treating the 41-minute 'Modular On the Roof 2' by Wandertalk as the centerpiece—a sprawling, live modular synth journey that demands and rewards attention.

The selection is gloriously unhinged: opening with 'Sexy Bitch' is either a troll move or a stroke of genius, recontextualizing EDM bombast as a quirky, nostalgic artifact. The closing move to DJ Gato’s 'Banda (Mix 3)' injects a shot of regional flavor and cumbia rhythm. It’s a journey that starts with commercial peak-time irony, descends into a long-form analog synth odyssey, and emerges with folk-dance warmth, proving that the best tracklists are often the ones that make the least sense on paper.
