Golden Hour with Xica Soul

Copyright restrictions pose a challenge for our channel. YouTube automatically monetizes the songs in this mix, directing ad revenue to copyright owners. This means we can’t control the ads or their frequency. As a result, 99.9% of MAJ’s yearly viewership generates no income for us due to copyrighted music. MAJ’s mission is to share high-quality vinyl-only mixes. To continue, we need support to maintain our studio and cover expenses.

Her sets weave driving grooves, smoky atmospheres, and flashes glimpses of tender nostalgia that create an undeniable energy on the dancefloor. With an instinctive ability to move between moods and genres, she crafts dancefloors that feel both unexpected and deeply familiar. Shaped by her South San Diego upbringing and lifelong passion for digging into records, Xica approaches music as a living archive — a way to honor roots while pushing into new sonic terrain. She's played stages from Boiler Room in LA to Good Room in New York, London's Multi Multi Festival, and Mexico City's Sunday Sunday, while her monthly dublab show SoundProof offers a space for deeper exploration. For Xica, every set is a dialogue with the crowd — a celebration of movement, memory, and community that leaves an imprint long after the last track fades. For her debut on My Analog Journal, Los Angeles DJ Xica Soul delivers a love letter to golden hour — that fleeting stretch of time when the light softens, colors blur and the world seems to exhale. Moving through dusky textures and dreamlike rhythms, she captures the ephemeral beauty of day folding into night, showcasing her ability to turn everyday moods into immersive sonic journeys. ------------ Cameras: Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K Pro https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/ The Mixer: Varia Instruments RDM40 https://varia-instruments.com Turntables: Pioneer DJ PLX-1000 https://www.pioneerdj.com/en-gb/product/player/plx-1000/black/overview/ Stylus & Cartridges by Ortofon UK: Ortofon 2M Blue & Ortofon Concorde MKII Twin Club DJ https://www.henleyaudio.co.uk/brands/ortofon/ Record Cleaning Brush: Record brush “Joni” https://ramar.berlin/en/ Equipment Provided by Audio Gold: Leben CS 600x Valve power amplifier Grundig Audiorama Hanging Speakers Yamaha CR-2020 vintage receiver  Mordaunt Short Festival Series 2 vintage speakers Audio Gold custom Technics plinths https://majical.co.uk/stories The “Aladdin’s Cave of hi-fi” Audio Gold specialises in new and second-hand stereo equipment for your home, restaurant or bar.
