Animix

To guide us through the next simulated experience; Passing Notes Radio boss and 1/2 of the great new label ‘Companion', Pjenné [Melbourne, AUS], shows us what a utopian existence can sound, feel and look like.

Follow on as she glides through the stratosphere, looking down on the lush greenery and crystal water that our earth effortlessly inhabits... occasionally looking up into the vast display of distant stars and planets, glittering across the stillness of outer space.

Pjenné beautifully illustrates the phenomenology of nature through tracks which touch on each element, whether that be the ethereality of air, the intricacy of water, the depth of earth, or just the pure warmth flowing through this immaculately thought-out audible narrative.

We couldn’t help but think this would be the perfect soundtrack for the day peace on earth is declared, where humanity sits back and appreciates a new world— where collectively, we love what grows, exists and dies.

This small blue dot is our home… our balanced oasis in the desert of space. Perhaps we need the ability to fly to see a different perspective - and we’re sure this will help.

Close your eyes and drift into your own self.

Enjoy, and thankyou Pjenné

URA (Zac MacArthur)! Mans got tunes. 

How do you typically prepare a mix?

I fill a stick or a bag with music I want to play. Try not to overthink it. After a while I feel like intuition is king.

CFCF / Cecile Believe

3 goals for 2022 that has nothing to do with music?

Huerco S and DJ Healthy at Public Records. Refreshing club music. Love it.

For extended Q&A & OG pi pi pi track game please visit our website ~~~~> pipipi.life <~~~~~~~

Introduce yourself? Pronouns? Where do you currently reside? 1 fun fact about yourself?

H: Hi! My name is Harrison (he/him), and I currently reside in Naarm/Melbourne. 
B: I’m Billy (he/him). We actually met on a dance floor In Naarm, and now live together!

Who/what currently inspires you music-wise that has nothing to do with music?

H: Soccer weirdly inspires me a lot music-wise. It’s a bit hard to explain, but watching endless videos of soccer managers/players definitely makes me DJ/produce in a fun and quirky way, and also makes me not take it too seriously. 

If you had to go back in time music wise what era would it be and why?

B: Early 2000s, i feel like half my library of music is from this period. If only 3-5y/o me knew what I was living through :( 

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

H: Techworld. A monthly party in Naarm, whilst only starting this year, every one of their parties has been some of the best memories I have ever made on a dance floor. To me, the vibe and music played at techworld embodies what a party should be, fun!

What was your best moment on the dance floor?

B: Was very surreal hearing Born Slippy at 6am on an Edinburgh dance floor a day after watching trainspotting for the first time. It was actually one of my first experiences going out to a dance event, I remember thinking I would love to do this all the time.


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

H&B: More inclusivity and diversity in dance communities. We’d particularly like to see venues and promoters do more to make everyone feel welcome and safe at dance events. Everyone should be able to have as much fun as possible without having their nights ruined by others. We’ve had many instances where people’s shitty behaviour on a dance floor has ruined the experience of going out for many of our friends

I am super excited to present the next @deepmindmusic_ mix, a special edition crafted by Australia's @pjenne. A DJ with an intuitive ear, Pjenné's mixes have always made a deep impression on me, through her thoughtful track selection, immersive world-building and clear narrative arcs – and her mix for Deep Mind Music is no different 🤍

I experienced this mix as one fluid motion: through the course of an hour we billow outwards, and drift inwards, in pulsating undulations. As the rolling waves of circular rhythms, dub techno and fluttering wisps floated through me, I felt as if I had become one with a towering cumulonimbus, expanding and contracting as I drifted across a pristine sky ☁️🦋💠

Pjenné has managed to strike a subtle balance between quiet softness and infinite depth in this beautiful and evocative journey, taking us deep into the beyond. The mix ends with an ascension to a bright and delicate twinkling, like a sparkling sunset on the sea, and we're left feeling warm, pensive and peaceful 🔆🌥️🕊️

Some words from Pjenné about the mix: 

I was inspired by a sound I used to be particularly into during my formative years – I remember buying the Deepchord Silent World double LP at Spacehall in Berlin during my first overseas trip. It was long, long before I was a DJ, and I was too scared to play any records in-store, as I didn't really know how turntables worked, and had no idea how record stores functioned. Although I bagged that winner of a record (which I still own and play today a decade later) I also remember accidentally buying some sampling records that I had absolutely no use for... Can't say it was the most inviting place back then...

Anyway, although the mix was inspired by that sound, it ended up completely different during the process of putting it together. Of course, I had to weave in some form of uplifting resolve by the end.

We have a new mix coming in. This one is by David Fogarty, who runs out of Berlin the label Transmigration, plus sublabel Sacred Stones.
David works for the great recordshop Sound Metaphors and has his residency at Refuge Worldwide radio.
Transmigration released a lot of amazing records the last few years. The Ebi, Hybryds and Projective Vision stuff has been rotating frequently here. This mix is a great representation of that sound.

It’s becoming increasingly difficult to find the words to introduce guests who need no introduction, enter: one of Naarm’s most loved and lauded, LOIF. LOIF is a DJ, producer and underground operator who has been forging a luminescent path in uncharted, underwater territory since the release of his first EP ‘Electronic Organism’ in 2019. Since this time, LOIF has been taking us on spelunking adventures through intricate patterns of space and sound. Much like intricately woven cave systems, LOIF produces tracks with hidden complexity, space and depth. LOIF’s forthcoming EP ‘Plunge’, set for imminent release on @animalialabel has been described as an oceanic exploration. Yet unlike the vastness of the ocean, LOIF’s performances and productions are executed with laser-like precision - sharply programmed drums and abundant restraint present an intriguing contrast between minimalism and maximum impact. The result is LOIF’s deep and signature sound spanning electro, psy and dubstep which is garnering local and international label attention from @amniote.editions, @ute.rec, @indexrecords, @purespacefm and more.

Montreal-based DJ, producer and label owner Francis Latrielle, better known as Priori, joins us for the 79th edition of the Phonica Mix Series.

Priori has become a firm favourite of ours here at Phonica over the past couple of years. His releases, which crossover through many electronic genres, from house and techno to IDM and ambient, have been picked up by such labels as Echovolt and Dust E-1’s Dust World in recent years, although much of his musical output, including his phenomenal 2019 album, ‘On A Nimbus’, comes via his own label, NAFF, which he co-runs with fellow Montrealer Ex-Terrestrial.

Head on over to Off The Record to check out the full feature, including an interview, where we talked about his past, present, and future plans, life in lockdown, Montreal’s music scene, and more. Enjoy!
