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

With our return fast approaching, we’ve been looking back on the soundtrack of our inception.

From the archives, we’re so happy to release Bex's set from the inaugural Moniker - a mostly-vinyl, progressive exploration from the hours of 00:00 - 02:00. Two hours of deep, rolling, endless grooves from Bec’s collection.

@simon-tk

Simon TK is a multifaceted music operator. A true champion of diversity in sound and community, it’s hard to overstate the impact that Simon has had on the Melbourne music community across his over-a-decade long involvement in all areas of the scene.

At the heart of this involvement is Simon’s expansive musical knowledge. An exceptionally versatile DJ, Simon is one of those rare selectors you could call upon to soundtrack almost any occasion - not just appropriately but perfectly. From psych-rock to psy-trance, rare digs or hands in the air, Simon particularly thrives in environments that challenge people’s perception of reality and identity.

Outside Djing, Simon’s community care and sprawling networks have led to two quintessential projects that continue to foster spaces for conversation and connection. In 2018 he co-founded Skylab, an online radio station that has become a vital platform for diverse musical voices and showcasing the very best in local and international talent. On the more playful side of things, Simon has built, curated and cultivated the now-institution that is Wax’o Paradiso alongside long-term collaborator Ed Fisher. Having recently celebrated its 10-year anniversary this legendary events series turned record label herds 1000s of ecstatic punters every year whilst unearthing and releasing contemporary antipodean sounds.

From his deep musical knowledge to his community-first ethos, Simon TK continues to inspire, connect, and challenge, embodying the spirit of Melbourne’s ever-evolving music culture. Simon’s guest mix was broadcast live on the 8th November, 2024 on PBS106.7fm.

Den Haag based jojoj, a prolific digger, with a mix studded with pure groove & rare oddities for number one hundred & sixty eight. A charming old school flavour, filled with pops of crunch & grit, strung together with a classy & timeless sense of rhythm. Jo is a part of the team at the incredible Laak club - one of the most exciting music/club spaces in Europe in my opinion. 

Thanks for the mix Jo <3

Happy new year & gloomy Jan :) with that said we welcome our favorite London based duo, inner zone @inner_zone (Nic & Rupes)for mix 18! 
These two are no strangers to the underground music scene in the UK & beyond. Co founding one of London's most sought out parties & day festivals, Transmissions. Which has organically produced a warm, sophisticated & eclectic energy to our scenes atmosphere, curating promising linup's and some of the best sets we've witnessed. They exceed everything you want from a musical duo with continuous bookings at festival's like Dimensions, Love International and music released on labels such as Space lab & Holding Hands. Were super excited to have them contribute this slow-paced, effortlessly smooth mix created for the deeper, celestial mind...

Cozi questions ...

1.⁠ ⁠How and why did you get into producing / dj’ing?
We started going out in the late 90’s and got hooked on a combination of amazing clubs, killer tunes and even better gary's so buying decks and spinning seemed like a no brainer. Records were cheap, record shops were everywhere. Good times :) 

2.⁠ ⁠Who, What/where was your most coziest gig you've been to or experienced and why?
We played a 4hr ambient set at Nachtdigital festival which was super cozi - we went to the depths whilst everyone was laying around on mattresses and sofas, cuddling in blankets under the stars. It was super special. 

3.⁠ ⁠Do you consider yourself an introvert or extrovert in the scene?
Introverts I guess? There’s enough people making a lot of noise out there, we kind of tick along. We’re happy with our bit :)  

4.⁠ ⁠If you had to choose 1 track to vibe out too forever, what would it be?
Jai-en : Bubble Gum. It’s a stone cold banger and comes to every gig with us. If you see one, buy it! 

5.⁠ ⁠What is your routine when preparing for a gig / production/writing session? Do you have any special remedies/ mental/physical prep/ places to go to? :)
Rupes: I do pretty meticulous preparation, taking vinyl out of sleeves and into plastic cases to protect them and to pack more into the bag. I like a few beers before a gig to settle the nerves. 
Nic: I chaotically throw records around the living room in a panic before the gig and hope for the best. Our friend Adam said watching me prepare for a gig actually gave him anxiety and he had to leave the room. I try and stay sober, I can’t mix after two beers.

Circling back to one of my all time ride or dies, presenting @sandpit_alias for Animix one hundred and seventy one. Feels so good to have him back on this series - he was one of the first appearances which remains a favourite, and this sequel is a perfect reminder of why Aidan in such a vital figure in Naarm/Melbourne's scene. So much integrity, class and intuitive flair, no one does it like him. This instalment is a no nonense, if-you-know-you-know wave of his signature blend of banging house and techno. 

Thanks Aidan <3
