Untamed by Design: Wild Women
What makes Wild Women special is that it wasn’t assembled in isolation — and it didn’t stay tied to one night. Created live and shaped moment by moment at Dewey’s Jazz Lounge, the mix has since grown into something larger: a staple of the room’s sonic identity, even on nights when DJ Ananas isn’t behind the decks.
Reading the room was everything. A raised eyebrow at the bar. A sudden surge near the speakers. A pause before the drop where you could feel everyone leaning in. Those cues dictated the direction of the mix more than any pre-set plan ever could, and that responsiveness is exactly why Wild Women continues to resonate within the space.
Certain tracks stayed longer than expected because the energy demanded it. Others were blended early — not because they didn’t work, but because the room was already asking for the next chapter. That spontaneity is embedded in the recording. You can hear it in the pacing, the risk-taking, and the confidence to let moments breathe — qualities that allow the mix to live on naturally within Dewey’s soundtrack.
Dewey’s has always been a place where jazz philosophy meets modern nightlife: improvisation, listening, responding. Wild Women is that philosophy translated into a contemporary, genre-fluid DJ language — and through DJ Ananas’ residency, it has become part of the lounge’s long-term musical DNA.
Years behind the decks at Dewey’s have allowed DJ Ananas to shape not just individual nights, but the overall emotional temperature of the room. Wild Women stands as a reflection of that relationship — a sound developed through consistency, trust, and a deep understanding of how the space breathes. Because of that, the mix carries a familiarity that feels native to Dewey’s, resonating even on nights when DJ Ananas isn’t present.
Rather than existing as a snapshot in time, Wild Women represents a chapter Dewey’s Jazz Lounge and it’s impact on Springfield’s community and nightlife — a reference point for movement, freedom, and genre-fluid expression that continues to influence the room long after the final transition fades.
