Introduce yourself? Pronouns? Where do you currently reside?

Hello : - ) I’m Charley (he/him) and I’ve recently started living in Newtown, Sydney/Eora.

Describe in detail your favorite place to sit & listen to music.

In the front or back yard of my house each morning while I drink coffee, that’s when I do most of my listening.

Best Ableton trick?

Command + D

Last track you would want to hear before losing your hearing…

Either Bill Evans - Lucky To Be Me or one of the 30 minute dub techno journeys on Echospace Detroit. Depends on which mood I’m in at the time.

Favorite DJ mixing trick?

A well done highpass filter, I don’t always nail it…


Write me a haiku about this mix…

Chill for a moment
Only to sink deep within
And emerge again


What is your favorite party/collective where you reside and why?

Can’t pick one as everyone offers their own flavour. Fruit Bowl, Umami, Translate, Pure Space, General Merchant, Douglas St, DUNJ, Alien, Honey Point, Unsung, Athletica, Brighter Days, Heavenly, Headroom, Eureka, Nectar, Vibe Positive, Boof and Jazz Wednesdays (lol) are just off the top of my head. The list goes on! Lots of passionate people here doing great things.

What is your most recent favorite DJ mix and why?

The mix by Gi Gi on Motion Ward is definitely my favourite and most played mix of the year. The whole thing flows so well and the selections have a really beautiful cohesion within the textures and sounds. All of the blends are incredible and the second half will bring a tear to your eye.

Any advice to upcoming DJs/producers?

Explore the things you love the most, progression will be much easier and faster this way. Showing your passion and support within your local scene will present you with opportunities and being prepared will help you utilise those opportunities to create more.

Favorite BPM and why?

130bpm is my favorite. For the styles of music that I DJ most of the time it seems to cover the widest range of styles. It has a lot of energy but enough space to focus on the accents and space. It also sounds good in non dance music. It’s a weird one because even though I can say pretty confidently that 130 is my favourite, when I was prepping for a wedding gig one day I realised that BPM has a very minor effect on the energy of a tune and it’s really all about the production.

What would you like to see in the future for the dance community?

More day events!

For the extended Q&A please visit our website ----> pipipi.life <--------

Introduce yourself? Pronouns? Where do you currently reside?

I’m Gareth. Pronouns he/him/his. I live in New York.

Describe in detail your favorite place to sit & listen to music.

The bleachers at the back of the dance floor at Nowadays.

When you are in the crowd… where do you like to stand and why?

I’m quite tall and don’t like feeling as though I'm in the way so I prefer to stand at the back or off to the side.

What color would you pick to represent the way you DJ?

Infrared.

Best gig of your life so far?

Bossa on a Wednesday night in October last year. It was my first time back there since it reopened after the flooding. I shared the bill with three people I love and admire and got to do it up in a space that has been very important to me down the years. Vibes were premium that night!

What would you like to see in the future for the dance community?

There are a few things…

I’d like to see more recognition of DIY dance music / club culture as legitimate culture across all levels of government in the US and support systems put in place to uplift it that are equivalent to those enjoyed by more traditional sectors of the arts. It’s starting to happen but there’s still a long way to go.

I’d like to see the development of more minority owned and operated spaces. (If there happens to be any POC/femmes reading this that want to know how to make nightlife spaces work, I’m very down to share what I’ve learned over the years about how things function.)

I’d like to see less emphasis placed on what gets posted to social media networks and more on making sick art and actual culture happen in the real world.

And I’d like to see less chatting and more dancing inside the speakers.

DJ G - 100˚

Welcome https://soundcloud.com/loiflan to the BSRMIX!

Dominating the Oz scene with his abstract spin on techno and its offshoots, LOIF is definitely one of the heads to keep an eye out for. With releases on Ute, Aminote Editions, Pure Space, Companion and many more, he’s already carved out a distinct sound of his own that’s penetrating ears around the globe. Be sure to keep an eye out for his upcoming Animalia release and any live/dj sets you can catch…he’s headed to the euro zone this year too. Enjoy this one and half hour genreless session for a snapshot of LOIF’s twisted mind.

BSRMIX #136 - LOIF

With purest delight, I'm so excited to welcome Pjenné of Passing Notes Radio & Companion (@companionmelb) for the latest episode in our series. Penny's curatorial expertise and long-standing dedication to the Naarm/Melbourne scene have established her as a pillar of the city's sonic landscape, and both her love of musical discovery and unmistakable influence are felt deeply from afar. 

Pjenné's mix is a enchanting trip through fields of wonder, equal parts honey and gossamer, moving and blissfully sublime. Tender hues paint the air while fervent warmth fills the aching heart. There are few selectors out there with a repertoire as consistently profound as Penny's, and yet one feels we've barely scratched the surface of what's to come. Thank you Penny!
