An essential and prolific figure in Australia’s electronic music community, producer Reptant officially presents his new tech-house inspired alias Ulo. S for ANIMA13. What started as a one-off live experiment for Melbourne’s Techworld party series, Ulo now reveals Beat Seeker - an EP of serious groove and a pure timeless quality. Beat Seeker advances on the signature old-school electro Reptant style and merges it with euphoric melodies and crisp, driving basslines. A dear friend of Animalia, Beat Seeker is another family affair that truly represents our entire ethos of colourful and mind bending sounds.

Animalia would like to acknowledge that all tracks were produced on the traditional land of the Wurundjeri peoples, and pay respect to their elders past, and present. Sovereignty was never ceded.

I met the lovely Copehagen based Vika, @vika-cph at Kune Festival on an island off Copenhagen last year after I'd stumbled upon her set on the beach in the afternoon - playing dreamy half speed & soft dnb. 

As part of the core amazing Kune festival crew, she's an important member of the Copenhagen scene, and has a beautiful polyrhythmic, enchanting dj style of fast & slow, hard and soft. Very happy to host her in the series :)

Thanks so much for the mix Vika!

Rotterdam talent @nelly_dj for the newest contribution to the series, with a mix inspired by warm summer days in the city. Creativity is the tool Nelly uses to process, understand and cope with the world. She finds solace in forest walks as much as she does on darkened dance floors and losing herself in these moments allows her to reset, reflect and become re-inspired. 

With an intricate, developing journey from trip-hop, to deep techno, ambient, trance, dub and beyond, Nelly's world building approach has a certain pensive beauty to it.. perfectly fitting for the series.

Thanks again Mei :)

Another musical connection formed on a dance floor (and one of many on the sandy shores of Floresta), I met Hans (@benkamal) at Waking Life last year. This mix is a lovely blend of tech house grooves, progressive, breaks and beyond - his collection coalesced into a divine interpretation of Animalia's sound.

A longstanding member of the Brussels scene, Hans is a dedicated & eclectic digger with a penchant for subtle grooves. Kamal explores house and techno's deepest cuts - each track deliberately chosen to lure the audience further into a hazy trip.

Thanks again for the mix Hans <3

Animix One Hundred & Sixty: Ben Kamal

A real pleasure to host one of my favourite djs in the Animix series, the ever-charming and immensely talented @playvlada, with her distinctly recognisable signature sound.

With a style deep, but somehow oozing with equal parts crunch and groove, Vlada is a master of blending her wide and eclectic old-school record collection into undulating journeys of bassy, hypnotic grooves, telling of her longstanding passion to the craft. 

The Russian born, but Berlin based mainstay balances touring with running mix series/party collective speLL in Berlin & beyond, with @vaahzer. One of my favourite parties in town :) 

Thanks again for the mix Vlada <33
