Dance Music Mixes

This mix is sort of my personal take on downtempo, the majority of the mix is made up of 90s/early 00's goa trance records at 33RPM (pressed at 45). Fortuitously a large portion of these I obtained cheaply in Sydney while recording shopping with Danny Wild following a Moontown Records party I DJd in October 2019. This mix is for the fans of the nocturnal, darker side of downtempo electronica. Please enjoy" @james-tom / @krakatau-melbourne

BSRMIX #115 - Edge Worker DJ (Mediterranea Progressivo Pt 2)

An incredible hour of melodic trance, breaks and prog from Naarm/ Melbourne based Edge Worker DJ ( @james-tom ). The incredibly versatile and talented musician is known for his role as the keyboard player in @krakatau-melbourne. Here, he explores his Edge Worker side-project, showcasing an impressive and expansive array of rare trance records, and incredible mixing skills. 

Having stumbled upon James' Butter Sessions (Part 1 + 2) trance mixes during lockdown this year, his mixes made me yearn for the dance floors we have been bereft of for so much of the last two years. This mix is a very fitting way to enter 2022, channelling reborn dance floor energy. 

Thanks again for the mix James!

Our final mix release for 2021 comes care of Patterns of Perception resident @andreasmaan.

Hailing from Melbourne and based in Berlin, Andreas' makeup as a DJ has evolved in parallel with our own. Known for his deep and driving closing sets, his repertoire in recent years has branched further afield into noise, ambient and left-of-centre electronica, all of which feature in this wide-ranging set.

As though drifting in and out of a sometimes placid, sometimes fitful sleep, Patterns of Perception 91 snakes delicately through jagged layers of disorientation and delirium to create an edgy, densely textured, yet rhythmically restrained soundscape interspersed, elusively, with echoes of beauty.

Dream b2b? 

i am too caught up in narrating my set that b2b makes me nervous.

Ideal booth set up? 

2x ipod nano 3rd gen, 1x aux cable.

Guilty pleasure track?

i also made a remix of this fanfic anthem that i am too embarrassed to upload.

Why do you think it's important to DJ? And/of why have you chosen to become a DJ? How long do you think you will keep it up?

to make up for the lack of fun and surprising music at parties. personally to soothe my ocd categorizing music and to justify hoarding tracks. a good dj set is like a public service.

Let’s play a pipipi game… I give you a situation & you give me a track 

**Losing your virginity in 2040

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KX44mI5beG4

**Washing your anxiety ridden cat 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pE7DueL2QWA

** Track to make your roommate leave you alone
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QBBv1_m_Tc

**1st track to celebrate the end of quarantine

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7PQgfOhxmI (loud be careful)

Describe the best dj/live set you have seen this year? 

debby friday. lorem. caroline polachek or was that last year?

Most underrated artist at the moment?

ana caprix 😌 

What is your prediction on the next music genre re-vamp 2020?

vocals even more pitched. even more shattered glass. best shattered glass is on kate bush “babooshka”. or even better on “mother stands for comfort”.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESRpQurzJsg

Describe the vibe of your first DJ set?

playing on an ironing board placed on a shopping cart in a tunnel for drunk teens.

Describe what you would want your rider to look like as a DJ all star playing Ibiza…

just plane tickets for all my friends. google “ku club ibiza” and check out the dj on the platform over the pool.

Describe the first moment where you had an epiphany about your love for music?

being a kid playing mars volta on my guitar instead of going to school. 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HE1hX2Kkf9k

Any advice about what to do with free time during this moment of social distancing?

be weary of the establishment. new models podcast.

What would you like to see in the future for the dance community?
could be less immersive and more entertaining.

Advice to beginning djs?

do something trashy it tends to get done faster and come out more genuine.
