For the second time broski :) id on this pls

For the inaugural edition of the Nina Label Mix series, we invited @kia-sydney to kick it off with a mix of material from her labels @animalia-label and @cirruslabel. A purveyor of trippy, psychedelic sounds, the Naarm/Melbourne and Berlin-based selector recorded the mix live at Nina HQ while in NYC to play the Nowadays Nonstop party in May 2023.

Harmony Rec. w/ Kia

The past decade has seen Andy Garvey become a leading presence within the Australian music landscape. As a producer, esteemed radio host, label boss of her own @purespacefm imprint, and co-founder of the NECTAR events collective, Andy’s passionate dedication to her home scene is abundantly clear.

Having recently relocated to Berlin, she is now able to bring her home-grown passion and a strong inclination towards all things trippy, vibrant and percussive to new shores, with a host of appearances scheduled across Europe over the summer.

Andy's Patterns of Perception 114 is wide-ranging but also deeply transportive, with a rare fluidity at its core. Inspired by a disparate string of gigs that she played before leaving Australia (a warehouse party, a bush doof and a sunrise set), this mix sets out to capture the unique energy and vibrancy of Australian dance floors - and the sounds that currently move them.
Round, rolling grooves flow and undulate, connecting far-flung soundscapes. Exotic, hallucinogenic atmospheres swirl in capacious fullness. An arresting and distinctly Antipodean balance of hedonistic frenzy and sleek composure.

Patterns of Perception 114 - Andy Garvey

Australian Kia very quickly rose up through the grimy after-hours rave scene of Melbourne to make her mark on the international stage. Now Berlin-based, her unique grasp of rhythm is rooted in a love of bass, IDM and deeper techno though she is adept at exploring a wide range of moods within those worlds. She has done so at places like ADE and our own festival and extends her good taste to the curation of her Animalia imprint and its ambient sub-label Cirrus as well as her own original tracks on Nous'klaer Audio.

In this week's mix, Kia showcases a colourful and kaleidoscopic take on techno which she says was awakened by an early trip to Japan's famously head Labyrinth festival. It's a hi-fidelity feast of supple rhythms, icy synths and deep space ambiance that unfolds in late-night fashion. The melodies are as delicate as silk, the drums rubbery yet punchy. It's high-paced future music that manages to be as delicate and beautiful as it is dynamic.

Musical trends are nothing more than waves that rise and fall according to fashions, desires and inspirations.
The current trend towards progressive house, mental techno and goa trance, for example, is merely a recuperation of initiatives launched in the 90s. Yet we're improving the sound, making it more modern and reappropriating it to suit our generation.

The two artists featured on this latest issue of tdt are all in love with paying tribute to those famous years, and they do it particularly well. They are the very reason why we continue to look to the past to produce a present that strives to do better.

Both club-oriented and at the same time introspective and intimate, the worlds of Pjenne and Jolly encourage exploration, and that's exactly what we're interested in here!

The 8th Virtual Utopia is a 100-minute extract from the sonically expansive mind of @nicolasure of @southernexposurerecords. An in-depth audio-presentation of various snippets of existence, an eclectic mixture of conversations from the past, present and future. Here will we explore visions of distant civilisations and cultures, and delve into abstract worlds with imperceivable communication. This is a space for deep and thorough sine-wave inspection.

Weightlessly glide over vast sand dunes and feel the air glide over your shoulders like warm silk. As you pass over distant mountain ranges the scenery changes dramatically. Glades of luscious beauty which calm you instantly, as the grass sways slowly like liquid beneath you. Glistening waters ripple underneath reflecting endless sparks from the sun, and as you pass through a cloud of fog, the other end reveals misty caverns of desolate planets where life dried out many moons ago.

This program summarises the vast variety of existence, here you will examine the spectrum of 'being' through a broad selection of sonic expression. Existence is an array of fractal probability and this mix illustrates that perfectly. Plug in and explore the ideology that we are 'one' but within that we are all completely unique.

Recorded live in Berlin- 8-9pm, 8th August, 2023.

Pjenné | Berlin [Live - 8.08.23]

Helsinki based legend Denzel  (@denzelmyman)for number #140 with 100% groove, rare digger gems and the perfect balance of percussive & dubby rhythms. Of course too, an oomph of cheekiness to the mix, reflective of both his musical output and personality. One of the brains behind Post Bar, Solstice Festival and more, Dennis has a crazy broad knowledge and taste in a wide range of musical styles, but always manages to pull things together with class & ease.

Dennis is also a very talented producer, with a new punchy, banging EP on Helsinki output @emotsiyamusic due out on the 11th October, which the label describes as "brainy and bouncy like Denzel’s sense of humor" (so true)

So happy to have you in the series Denis1 <3 Thanks for the mix

Juanita's Mix 096 with Kia @kia-sydney

Q. How would you describe yourself?
A. easily distracted, busy bee, passionate, nomadic, pensive.. :)

Q. What was your last memorable club night in NYC?
A. nowadays nonstop in may was epic.. that room is honestly the dream in the right context. the lighting and sound is so on point and the energy during my set time was so infectious (I played 3.30-6am before the legend PLO man). also special shout-out to groovy groovy which i played in july :) DIY parties are always extra special when done right

Q. Tell us a little bit about this mix.
A. this is a very honest/ sombre personal diary I’ve been compiling all year. it’s almost for me the musical embodiment of an infinite plane ride.. watching the sun rise and then set and then rise again. also an ode to all the new & old people that were in my life this year.

this year brought lots of purgatory moments, lots of solo transit.. times of isolation and change, also new friends, positive growth, and people coming into my life… so I guess it’s supposed to represent the ups and downs, change and the journey,

I was struggling to finish the mix and it was sitting at 80% complete for the last little while but I feel like the current situation in Palestine </3 really inspired the missing pieces of the mix. for me, I use music and storytelling as an outlet for frustration and emotion generally. lots of old classics in this and pensive moments.. hope the listeners can feel some of that emotion through listening too..
