@claudiasin
With a penchant for off-kilter drum and bass, bass, dub and dubstep, sina meticulously curates sets that mix and match elements of atmospheric trip hop, murky post-DnB and the mischievous 2-step sounds of the 90/00s. Witnessing sina grace the decks at Inward Goods festival was a nostalgic luxury - I felt like I’d stepped into some form of magical Y2k swamp party, where only the best of early 2000s drum and bass were being thrown down. Sina’s contributions to the community extend beyond the decks and into the realm of party planning and label curation (Secret World) whilst also forming ⅓ of the band dregs. Sina’s bass-centric Framework parties create a much needed bro-free zone, an inclusive space for us lovers of the high energy sounds that sina is becoming so well known for. sina joined me to celebrate for episode 156 and 3 years of Passing Notes with a deep, dubby guest mix and written interview here -> https://passingnotes.radio

sina - PN 156 (3 Years of PN)

Number 76 comes from Eora based DJ Paramat ( @paramatiq ), recorded live at Outsider festival a couple of months ago.

The talented DJ is currently doing a monthly show on @nomadradiofm (All Purpose) as well as a show every 3 months on @@area3000 called Opposite Ends.

He founded a label in 2019 that has taken a lot of twists and turns, now called General Merchant, running in a new direction once again with an upcoming release from Slow83. They're also  putting on their first rave May 7th.

Nahar also produces the sunsets show for Kato and Ben Fester on FBi radio.

Outside of music Nahar studies ecology/botany at UNSW, currently in his final year and doing an honours next year.

Thanks again for this amazing set Nahar!

Introduce yourself? Pronouns? Where do you currently reside? 

Ello, I’m Jackson. Pronouns are He/Him. Residing in Eora/Sydney

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

Water and light mostly 

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

Too many faves. Some heavy hitters off the top are Umami/Echo Flats/Heavenly/Community Chest. They are %100 in it for the experience. Community Chest is a joint force crew of about 7 great crews from Sydney – It’s kinda like when the power rangers come together to make that big robot fighter guy

What was your best moment at the supermarket?

They were playing Bill Withers in a Woollies once and it got me

What is your most recent favorite DJ mix and why?

Max D – Indie Rock on C- was maybe the last one that got me good. Max D only plays by Max D’s rules

Any advice to upcoming DJs/producers? 

Enjoy your life & be kind to others

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

More love and respect, always

Introduce yourself? Pronouns? Where do you currently reside?

Hello : - ) I’m Charley (he/him) and I’ve recently started living in Newtown, Sydney/Eora.

Describe in detail your favorite place to sit & listen to music.

In the front or back yard of my house each morning while I drink coffee, that’s when I do most of my listening.

Best Ableton trick?

Command + D

Last track you would want to hear before losing your hearing…

Either Bill Evans - Lucky To Be Me or one of the 30 minute dub techno journeys on Echospace Detroit. Depends on which mood I’m in at the time.

Favorite DJ mixing trick?

A well done highpass filter, I don’t always nail it…


Write me a haiku about this mix…

Chill for a moment
Only to sink deep within
And emerge again


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

Can’t pick one as everyone offers their own flavour. Fruit Bowl, Umami, Translate, Pure Space, General Merchant, Douglas St, DUNJ, Alien, Honey Point, Unsung, Athletica, Brighter Days, Heavenly, Headroom, Eureka, Nectar, Vibe Positive, Boof and Jazz Wednesdays (lol) are just off the top of my head. The list goes on! Lots of passionate people here doing great things.

What is your most recent favorite DJ mix and why?

The mix by Gi Gi on Motion Ward is definitely my favourite and most played mix of the year. The whole thing flows so well and the selections have a really beautiful cohesion within the textures and sounds. All of the blends are incredible and the second half will bring a tear to your eye.

Any advice to upcoming DJs/producers?

Explore the things you love the most, progression will be much easier and faster this way. Showing your passion and support within your local scene will present you with opportunities and being prepared will help you utilise those opportunities to create more.

Favorite BPM and why?

130bpm is my favorite. For the styles of music that I DJ most of the time it seems to cover the widest range of styles. It has a lot of energy but enough space to focus on the accents and space. It also sounds good in non dance music. It’s a weird one because even though I can say pretty confidently that 130 is my favourite, when I was prepping for a wedding gig one day I realised that BPM has a very minor effect on the energy of a tune and it’s really all about the production.

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

More day events!

Welcome https://soundcloud.com/loiflan to the BSRMIX!

Dominating the Oz scene with his abstract spin on techno and its offshoots, LOIF is definitely one of the heads to keep an eye out for. With releases on Ute, Aminote Editions, Pure Space, Companion and many more, he’s already carved out a distinct sound of his own that’s penetrating ears around the globe. Be sure to keep an eye out for his upcoming Animalia release and any live/dj sets you can catch…he’s headed to the euro zone this year too. Enjoy this one and half hour genreless session for a snapshot of LOIF’s twisted mind.

BSRMIX #136 - LOIF

So so happy to have Naarm's https://soundcloud.com/mgmldrm on the series!! 

miscmeg's sensitive take on electronic music just hits. the. spot. Having made a name for herself as a versatile selector, as suited to a club setting and those moments of total energetic release, as periods of reflection and stillness. It's the latter she has compiled in this mix, originally recorded at Hope St Radio in Naarm.

One of the founders of https://soundcloud.com/vortexvortexvortex and its associated skylab show, miscmeg is a major contributor to Naarm's scene, effortlessly adding an essential dimension, rooted in emotional dance music. 

With a 90s flavour, this mix meanders through sugarcoated, glistening downtempo, occasionally plunging into destabilising slow burns. miscmeg's ear for downtempo is on full show here, pausing for darker, dub-inflicted haziness and moments of melancholy before erupting shining light, love and red-hot desire. 

miscmeg, with what seems like a knowing wink, sprinkles breadcrumbs for us to follow, each moment a fragile, expanding, crystallising and, soon, razor sharp declaration of self-worth. She's a pro and we can't thank her enough : --)

Emotions are high, may require a dance in your kitchen ⚘ ❁ ⚘ ❁ ⚘
