Oslo trance outfit Accelerationism is the brainchild of Marius Bø & Teo Bachs, whose trippy, high-energy sounds were born back in 2017 as a series of open-air woodland raves. The Norwegian duo are co-founders of the Ute Collective, an umbrella sobriquet spearheading their current charge alongside other artists with forest gathering division Uteklubb and imprint Ute.Rec (and sublabels Sinensis and Translusid for a deeper dive into ambient-, hardtrance as well as Goa). The pair are even known to distribute their music as mix CDs from time to time, an appropriately authentic and tangible format for a 90s sound having such a profound resurgence in a world dominated by digital media. There’s clearly a lot on their plate, and that’s maybe not so surprising: the same passion the duo pours into their many projects is manifested by a diligent and lightning-fast brand of trance - this rabble-rousing duo has energy in abundance. Bassiani Podcast 175 channels Marius and Teo’s firebrand spirit and clandestine forest gatherings with emotive nostalgia as well as fresh and radical optimism. This mix consists of unreleased nordic trance for a dazzling and uncertain future.

Australian Kia very quickly rose up through the grimy after-hours rave scene of Melbourne to make her mark on the international stage. Now Berlin-based, her unique grasp of rhythm is rooted in a love of bass, IDM and deeper techno though she is adept at exploring a wide range of moods within those worlds. She has done so at places like ADE and our own festival and extends her good taste to the curation of her Animalia imprint and its ambient sub-label Cirrus as well as her own original tracks on Nous'klaer Audio.

In this week's mix, Kia showcases a colourful and kaleidoscopic take on techno which she says was awakened by an early trip to Japan's famously head Labyrinth festival. It's a hi-fidelity feast of supple rhythms, icy synths and deep space ambiance that unfolds in late-night fashion. The melodies are as delicate as silk, the drums rubbery yet punchy. It's high-paced future music that manages to be as delicate and beautiful as it is dynamic.

After first crossing paths in the Summer of 2012, Bradley, Edd & Simon finally joined forces on home soil for an unforgettable b3b to close out the annual Wax'o Paradiso Open Air bash at the  Abbotsford Convent.
Quite possibly one of the most epic 3 hours you've ever heard.... just don't fast forward!

A series of deep blue inversions executed within a leafy coastal glade amongst friends both new and old for the first edition of Aries Rising. Endless love to Mish and the crew for the trust and for a beautifully considered occasion. Xx

Live From Aries Rising '24 [16.03.24]

By anyone's standards, KI/KI has had a meteoric rise. She started DJing at queer party SPIELRAUM in Amsterdam in 2018, and by now she's one of Europe's most-talked about DJs. She blends modern strands of techno with trance and acid in a way that feels all her own, veering away from the sugar highs of other DJs or the clobbering kick drums of so much fast dance music. Her style is aerodynamic and sleek, not bludgeoning.

In addition to her DJ career, KI/KI runs the label slash, which has put out music from the likes of Alpha Tracks, Peachlyfe and Newa, artists who share her canny blend of trance and techno aesthetics and sneaky pop sensibilities. Acid is another big love, as shown by her 5HRS OF ACID concept. The decades-old sound has become a key part of her style and appeal, as you'll hear on her RA Podcast. It's a barreling 90 minutes through techno and trance with trap and dubstep accents, breathless but perfectly paced.

Animalia: Kia and Moopie @ The Lot Radio 05-31-2024

A 3,5 hour ode to the perfect summer day. Those diamond days spent with friends, lounging in the sun, jumping in and out of the water and watching the sunset together. Best enjoyed during a heatwave, beach day, boat trip, pool party or balcony holiday. 

Heavily influenced by never taken Eivissa clubbing trips around the turn of the century, expect strong 00’s Ibiza nostalgia, balearic bliss, piano euphoria and sunrise trance. 

Featuring tracks by The Trip, Spray, Shanti Celeste, Clint, Way Out West, Opus III, Orbital, Alex Kassian, Running Hot, Aldonna, Peggy Gou, Sam Alfred, Laroze, B From E, Tre Turner, Courtesy feat. Klō, LUXE, Vitess, E.T.H & Palmiz, Solar Plexus, Man/Ipulate, Earth Trax, SY, Olsvangèr, Hybrid, CC Disco, Match Box, CRW, Alena, Fragma, Cache and many more.
