After a year & a half of mixes, I’m humbled and excited to see animix hit number #50 with this banging, get-me-back-to-the-club mix from local icon Simon TK. Looking back, it’s warming to see how animix has spanned an amazing array of artists, styles, locations and moons. 

Simon TK ( @simon-tk ) has been a mainstay in the Naarm/ Melbourne scene for a long while now, playing an integral part in some of the city’s most loved and important musical institutions, such as Skylab radio and the recently launched vinyl imprint for the long-standing Waxo Paradiso duo/ collective, and Club d’Erange.

An incredibly talented DJ, Simon is a musical chameleon, somehow shining in every different style and mood he pulls out of the hat. His versatility, skill and dedication to community has left him with a well deserved respect amongst the Australian musical community, and his taste and bubbly vibe are just the cherry on the cake. 

Thanks for this one Simon! <3

A beautiful musical interpretation of the visual of sunset to sunrise in a forest, byVenus Flytrap (@venusflyyytrap), a talented emerging DJ who recently moved to Melbourne/ Naarm via Shanghai. Rachel has a penchant for deep, rhythmic & chuggy, with a range of radio shows for Baihui Live and Shanghai Community Radio.

This mix is a beautiful representation of her style and a poignant continuation of her previous outputs - I'm excited to see her flourish in Melbourne :) 

Thanks for the mix Rachel!

Jill Krecké aka GURL (https://soundcloud.com/j1ll) is a Luxembourg-born, Brussels-based artist & archivist. We met more than a decade ago on the dancefloor of Fuse Club, Brussels. Ever since, we’ve stayed close music/clubbing friends and swum through different moments in our lives, forever positively connected and supportive. 

Properly balanced and in the pipeline for some years (!!!) now, Gurl’s Basic Moves podcast demonstrates her love for detroity electro, wonky breakbeats and dusty techno. Her passion and skills for mixing and digging up this specific sound of dance music have forged her a steady presence in the electronic music scene of Brussels. Since she started performing as a deejay at the age of 22, she’s became part of various projects (Brüxsel Jardin, C12, Planet), not only as an artist but also as a promoter and safe spacer. 

As a number one supporter and participant of our Beautiful Freaks party, it was a logical choice to ask Jill to join the core team. Multitasking 3-dimensional friends forever. Enjoy the energies & roll out the beats. Gurl in the mix!

Closing out the year, OVAVA Music founder Ollie Mundy releases his final single of 2025, ‘Home’. A profound and emotional journey that explores the experience of finding someone who makes the world fall into place, ‘Home’ evokes a sense of safety, truth, and belonging that transcends any physical space.
Built on a warm and atmospheric foundation and layered with intricate melodic detail, the track carries a quiet power, intimate yet expansive. It moves through moments of reflection and release, capturing the serenity of being truly seen and connected. Like much of Ollie Mundy’s catalogue of music to date, ‘Home’ blends vulnerability with strength, offering a sound that feels both personal and universal. It serves as a reminder that home is not just a destination.

Ollie Mundy’s OVAVA Music, the UK and Ibiza-based imprint, has built a strong reputation for standout releases and authentic talent. Celebrating both emerging and established artists, OVAVA has created a distinct identity in the electronic music scene, drawing inspiration from Burning Man and Ollie’s global travels. Since the label’s inception, OVAVA music has welcomed an ever-growing list of artists to its roster, championing releases from the likes of DJ Hydra, Ari, Fogel, NatalieJane, David Ramano, Gipetto, and many more.

Known for quality club-focused releases, the label has received consistent support from industry heavyweights, including Black Coffee, Damian Lazarus, Themba, Claptone, Marco Carola, Paco Osuna, Joris Voorn, Paul van Dyk, Ruben Mandolini, Steve Lawler, Shiba San, and TSHA, just to name a few.
OVAVA’s highlights include a No.1 on Beatport’s Afro House chart, multiple Traxsource Top 10 positions, and Ollie’s Burning Man-inspired mixes surpassing 5 million views. Rooted in emotion, Ollie’s journey as curator and artist shapes the label’s immersive output, designed to inspire introspection, connection, and euphoria. Extending this ethos, OVAVA Music Radio streams 24/7 with seamless, ad-free mixes showcasing the depth and diversity of the roster. In less than a year, OVAVA has amassed nearly 200,000 streams with a playlist reach of 2.4 million, recently featuring at Café del Mar and Back to Mine in Ibiza. 

Beyond studio releases, Ollie Mundy continues to command global dancefloors with his performances. Outside of his international DJ features, he also retains a residency with Organica Radio, and continues to perform at seminal events worldwide, with highlights across 2025 including 528 supporting the iconic Sasha & John Digweed. OVAVA Music also took another exciting step with their first showcase at Café del Mar in Ibiza, bringing the label’s signature sound to one of the island’s most iconic venues and paving the way for an international footprint.

‘Home’ marks the next step in Ollie Mundy’s musical journey, showcasing his signature blend of emotion and rhythm while hinting at the exciting directions OVAVA Music will take in 2026. Designed to connect listeners on both personal and global dancefloors, the track reflects Ollie’s continued growth as an artist and curator in electronic music.
