A3K262 VITAMIN DJ - 3 September 2021

Hi xx

Sooooo excited to host the debut mix from Activator (a combination of Vitamin DJ and Toorak cowboy) These two bring just as much energy and joy into their sets together as they do on the dance floor. Making a emphasis on fun while still demonstrating their taste, they have been playing out more and more throughout Naarm and that trend will most definitely continue.

Here they bring us a combination of house, hard house, bouncy progressive and some gems from locals in 1 hour of non stop NRG xxx

Cass cast 13 - Activator

For Rotations 26 we have Activator — the newly formed project from two Naarm DJs Jaevin aka Vitamin DJ / @vitamin_D_J  and Clay aka Toorak Cowboy / @claywaddell.

Two of the most warm and vibrant lovers of the Naarm music scene, both Jaevin and Clay's infectious energy translates into their sets which are pure, unadulterated fun.

Progressive, trancey and with a little euro-house flava, this mix is nearly 2 hours of non-stop energy with a few unreleased local tracks ;)

Thanking Activator for this gorg mix <3

Tantalising turbo tunes from the enforcers of fun, Clay (@claywaddell) and Jaevin (@vitamin_d_j), affectionately known as Activator. This mix is a sonic representation of the energy these two bring to dance floor. It’s awfully fun, diabolically energetic, and utterly contagious. You are destined to fall terribly sick under their spell x

Neurocrank Mix: Activator

It’s springtime in the southern hemisphere and today we’re celebrating it with a mix from London-based DJ, Anna Rose (aka ANNX). 

We’ve been admiring Anna’s mixes for some time - her flawless mixing and the relentless collection of the best progressive & psytrance. We’re lucky enough to be able to share a recording of her set from this year’s Above Below Festival in Chiltern Hills in the UK. Anna played 7-9pm on The Beacon stage, and woweee it’s making us wish we were there to witness this set as the sun went down. 

Thank you Annx for gifting us this mix ❤️

Tracklist & interview

The Sound Of: Butter Sessions, mixed by Sleep D

Here we have the last set for now from this year's Nachtipod series from Olganitz. @moopie, even though it was his first time at this place, understood it immediately. His set at the lake was a pure joy for the dancers - less techno tunnel, more bouncy, less trippy, more looking right and left(field).
He paired vintage prog with dreamy electro that morning and even ventured slightly into italo territories. Well it's all rave and in the end Moopie's greatest talent is knowing exactly what that one track is that people need most right now.

Q. Hey Hannah, what inspiration did you draw upon when putting this mix together? Is there a sound, feeling, or time/place in dance music history that connects all the different elements in one way or another?

A. Hey Myles! Thank you so much for having me on, I’m over the moon to be a part of the series. This mix is a bit of an ode to my favourite time and place to DJ — sunset at a festival or doof in the bush. When the day turns to night is such a special time, especially in these settings, and I really wanted to try and emulate that feeling — starting out soft and building into something a bit euphoric.

Q. Are there any records in the mix that are especially close to your heart, or new or old favourites that you’ve been keeping up your sleeve for the right moment?

A. Yes actually! One that comes to mind is Dario - Sweet Love (Evolution Mix). I found it a few years ago and was obsessed with it but the record was so expensive on Discogs (currently $200!) and I couldn’t find it anywhere else so I kinda gave up on it. When you asked me to do this mix I decided to have another look for it and ended up being able to trade someone for a rip of the vinyl. So happy to finally play it!! Another special one is Kalle-M - This Place. My partner David actually found this and sent it to me a while ago and I love it so much, so shout out to Dave for that one :) and a final special mention for Blue Noise - Coldflow which is close to the end. It gives me goosebumps every time, so intensely emotional and I would be crying if I heard this on a dancefloor!

Q. I know you’ve had quite the busy year on the events front, hosting a number of different parties with great local and international DJs as part of the Luna Blessings and Send/Return collectives. What were some of your favourite moments from the year that was, and what projects are you looking forward to working on in 2024?

A. Thank you! It’s been a crazy year looking back and I’m so grateful to be a part of so many special parties. A moment that stands out was the Waxo Paradiso x Hope Street Radio party the other week, the vibes were so perfect all day. This year I’ve actually played quite a lot of b2b sets which has been so fun, and I’ve had the chance to play interstate a couple of times and in Europe which was amazing :) We’ve got a super stacked year ahead with both Luna Blessings and Send/Return which I can’t wait for! We’re hosting one of my favourite artists ever for Luna in January which we’ll announce very soon. I’m looking forward to more of all of the above in 2024!

Iconic Naarm/Melbourne duo @claywaddell & @vitamin_d_ aka Activator (@activator-546298935) bring their signature energetic housey breaks & bounce for a mid summer hoorah.

The charismatic duo have been popping up increasingly frequently across Melbourne lineups, and no one is complaining. With a positive, anthem like, trance tinged flavour, their style & charisma is always welcomed.

So happy to have them as part o the series, thank you Clay & Jaevin <3 <3 <3
