Introduce yourself? Pronouns?  1 fun fact about yourself?

Hiii I’m Kia, (people often ask me what my real name is so I thought I’d specify that). Pronouns are she/her. 

Fun fact - my name is a car dealership (Kia Sydney), and people often think that’s a joke too. My Croatian grandfather changed his last name to Sydney when he moved there in the 50s as a means of getting a job in what was a very (and still for the most part is) racist society. 

Biggest musical influence from childhood?

Well when I was going up I played the piano, clarinet and percussion (played the glockenspiel in the school band lol) so that definitely led me to be musically minded from a young age. When I was 13/14 I remember getting into electronic music via big idm producers like aphex twin, four tet and aleksi perala. Because I was into really melodic stuff I think it was the first time I’d heard it done in an electronic way and I remember finding that really exciting. 

Favorite DJ mixing trick? 

Cobblestone jazz - India in me. It’s not particularly easy to mix per say, but it’s an insane 14 minute roller that completely shifts vibe in the middle, so I always play it if I feel like I need a breather or an energy shift in a set.

Write us a haiku about this mix… 

Sounds of travelling
Australia and beyond
People, places, moods

(Sorry that was really hard lol)

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

Early 2000s. So much good tech house. 

If you had to describe yourself as a flower, which one would it be and why?

Sunflower. I flourish in the summertime and I really really hate winter. 

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

Vortex <3 (https://soundcloud.app.goo.gl/Bi3dZPdKhT2QCHmC7 )

femme collective consisting of my friends Meg + nenagh, who book the best lineups. We also do a collab party animalia x vortex and the parties always have a really special energy. 

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

More community run clubs and more people who listen and participate in the scene understanding the importance of community in dance music generally.

For the newest instalment, i'm really happy to welcome the incredible Brussels-based AliA (@aliamusicc). The local mainstay is a regular on Kiosk radio and runs her own label - @artisjokrecords. Alyah, better known as AliA,  has an exciting & unique approach to dj'ing. She is known for her blend of contemporary club music with jazz, classical and experimental sounds. 

I find AliA's musical outputs incredibly refreshing - the kind of artist who reminds you what a really good DJ can do - they can present genres & sounds to you that you'd otherwise maybe not typically explore, in a new and exciting way. For her Animix, Alyah has gone for an intensely chill blend of ambient & immersive music, with minimal, glitchy, dub techno, jazz, classical sounds and more.

Thank you so much for the mix Alyah <3

Helsinki raised, Paris based Jeku is know for his trippy, psy-infused rhythms, expertly crafted to compel movement and progressively elevate the senses.

With acclaimed releases on labels like Craigie Knowes, Haŵs, and Avoidance, and his most recent EP ‘Twisted Utopia’ on Harmony Records, Jeku continues to push the boundaries of contemporary electronic music.

About the mix: "This mix is heavily inspired by my recent experiences at Pe:rsona and Ozora festivals, which I attended back-to back straight from one to the other. I found a resurgence in deeper and slowly evolving sets which felt so fresh I wanted to channel that energy into this mix. Best enjoyed outdoors or afters!"

This week's animix comes from the incredible duo, Atrice (@atricemiras) - a mystical pairing who are part of a pool of insanely talented artists in the small Central European state, Switzerland -  there is a seemingly bursting ratio of talent per capita in this country!.

Drawing inspiration from everyday encounters and digital overstimulation, Atrice's music is refreshing, unique and modern - idm, experimental & bass driven - it somehow also sits perfectly amongst the class & purity of old school & solidified genres like dub, bass, techno - which is seen in their releases on labels like Illian Tape. 

On top of their productions and live sets, Lino & Pablo extend their craft with their on theme DJ'ing - always presenting new & exciting.. and always making perfect sense. For their animix, a beautiful journey through dub and beyond. 

Thanks so much for the mix Lino & Pablo <3

OK EG  turn inwards on Silent Green, their new release on Kia's ambient label, Cirrus. Written for a live performance in Berlin, Silent Green finds balance between intimate post club dream states and low tempo rhythmic workouts.

Fragmented voices harmonise with delicate synths and organic textures on open sky.
Wooden machinery clicks and whirs on veil, opening into an inner expanse.

Optimistic warmth and melancholy blend on spirit, knitted with resonant hi hats, scrolling
wavetables and dubbed claves.

Sequenced hand drums and piccolo snares create structure for rising pads and analog bass on death adder, as subtle grooves unfurl under the watchful gaze of digital crows.
The artwork, created by the Amsterdam based digital artist @tharimcornelisse , finds the cycle of life and death in the artificial environment of a greenhouse, digitally blended with patch notes from the first time the music was performed.

Artist: OK EG (Naarm/ Melbourne, Aus) @okegmusic

the next mix in the series is pure dubwise profundity coming from @edenaurelius and @milliamusic

Some words from the artists :

“This mix is a live recording taken from Nowadays in April of this year for livwutang’s recidency, where we were invited to open for Deepchord as a part of a dub techno focused event here in New York. 

The three hour mix is the culmination of our shared inspirations - contemporary and classic, and our own interpretations of the genre itself.

We have b2b’ed many times over the past 10 years, and we feel this may be our favorite set so far - we hope you enjoy”

Ein Flug durch den Himmel – getragen von Klang, geführt vom Gefühl des Fernwehs. Zwischen Licht und Dunkelheit entfaltet sich eine Reise, die dich weiter trägt, als Worte reichen. HeavensGate öffnet sich für jene, die den Himmel hören wollen.

English
A flight through the sky – carried by sound, guided by the longing for the distant. Between light and darkness unfolds a journey that takes you further than words can reach. HeavensGate opens for those who dare to listen to the sky.

After brushwork, J-CARDS returns on The Hague’s Fish Tapes label with two new layers of his steadily unfolding sound world: “wyrm” and “cloud flipping".

wyrm breathes fire. It’s a track that is both heavy and deep, yet comforting. cloud flipping is its lighter counterpart: a playful, touchy groove, repetitive and hopefull. Nor an a nor a b-side, its sunny energy easily earns all attention.
