Animix

For the third installment of Animix i've invited my friend Albert (@steinakafun), Barcelona local and member of @draftbcn. Albert's diverse taste is showcased through a selection of his amazing and eclectic record collection in this beautiful mix.
Perfect for home listening. 

Thanks so much for putting this together Albert :-)

Heath is the co-founder of my favourite party in Melbourne, @syrupmelbourne, alongside Chaz. 

As long as i've known Heath, he's always had the best music taste. This mix is a perfect slice of his always interesting and perfectly crafted sets. An hour of downtempo selections that reflect Heath's classy style and cool collection....He knows what's up!

I think this mix is a really beautiful reflection of her personality. Dream girl! <3

udmo is an enigmatic talent. For the sixth Animix he presents his new alias, @dollllly
Whether it be dreamy releases via @analogueattic, or 6am party sets, dan/udmo/dolly never fails to impress! 

Keep your eyes/ears out for Dolly on a forthcoming Animalia release too... :)

Mattikk is a Planet Delsin resident and curator of the new Delsin offshoot label Mantis. The Dutch local always crafts the most interesting sets... always somehow finding the perfect balance between trippy deep broken beats, yet still beautiful, clubby and driving. Glad to share his music on this side of the world.

Love this one a lot. So glad you could  put this one together for us Thijs ! :')@mattikk

The queen of Sydney! So many special songs from local and abroad in this one. Host of Home Time on @nomadradiofm & co-founder of headroom, Ivy is one of my favourite local DJs and deserves every last bit of the hype that surrounds her. Her sets and mixes are always dynamic & fresh. This mix is no exception! 

Thank you so much for this Ivy <3 @iv-dripp

I discovered Adam through his EP on @analogueattic, which has become one of my longstanding favourite local releases.  I've been a big fan of his creations ever since.

I love the way he always manages to find the perfect balance between ambient and dance, with many of his tracks featuring acoustic instruments. Every new track he sends me is even more charming, innovative and unique than the last.

Thanks for this beautiful mix Adam! @citizenmaze

It's nice how music can bring people together no matter how far away they are. I met Takumi through a small facebook group for people who love trance, and through that discovered his last mix. Very happy to host his newest one. Takumi is a Tokyo local and integral member of the techno/trance rave scene.  He has flawlessly pulled together an hour of trance gems, including a forthcoming Animalia tune ;-) 

Thanks so much for this one Takumi! Hopefully we can meet and listen to more trance sometime in the future. @takumiinamoto1994

Based in Bucharest, Romania, Romi was another internet discovery for me. 
Romi is a master at weaving beautiful ambient journeys. His Lullabies for Insomniacs mix has become my go to relax mix in the last few years <3

This one is really special. The music is stunning, emotional and the perfect healing music for this long drawn out lockdown period we're facing in Melbourne right now

You can listen to more of his beautiful work here :-) @4142

Thanks again Romi for this beautiful contribution to the Animix series <3

For the newest Animix instalment, i’m so happy to share this emotional journey by @nenaghnenagh. Beautifully put together, the mix is a sublime exploration of moody 90s era idm & dreamy electro tunes. 

Before Covid hit, she was running vortex, one of my favourite Melbourne parties, alongside @megmldrm

The euphoric, ravey vibe of this mix really hit home and made me miss dancing with friends. Hopefully we’ll all be dancing together soon 

Thanks again <3 @nenaghnenagh

For the newest Animix i'm very happy to host a beautiful mix from my lovely London based friend Flo (Florence Scott-Anderton / @florencesa ). Being a filmmaker, Flo's tasteful & selective ear for music in film can be seen in her involvement in the NTS Sounds on Screen series & her always interesting MUBI Notebook soundtrack mixes. 

This mix is a dreamy float through her eclectic and stunningly diverse taste....from ethereal ambience to chuggy electronica, world, and everything in between. A very special one indeed <3

Lots of love Flo!

Animix number seventeen presented by a very exciting DJ I came across this year...@mrassister!
Ben's recent mix for sub:system struck a special nerve mid lockdown -- really making me miss those special 6am summer dance floors. 

The founder of BEAM, drummer for James Blake’s live band & London local, Mr Assister's style oozes through deep, proggy techno & rare, tasteful psy gems. This mix is a euphoric trip to help us through these strange times. Thanks again Ben! <3

For the newest Animix i'm very happy to host an exciting, bass-heavy mix by one of my favourite DJs at the moment, Amsterdam local @jasminhoek

She is in many ways a perfect representation of the bright, bubbly and diverse style that is common amongst so many of my favourite Dutch DJs and producers, whilst at the same time she is certainly paving her own refreshing and unique style. 

Residing in Amsterdam & studying gender studies, Jasmin hosts her own radio show "petting dogs" on Stranded FM.  She frequently featured on De School lineups before its' closure this year, and i'm excited to see where she goes with her DJ'ing in the post-covid music world.

Thanks again for being a part of the series Jasmín! <3

This is a very special one. Here I host a mix by someone very close to home.. I’ve been begging him to make a mix for this series for ages, but he’s even more of a perfectionist than i am.  Clearly the wait has paid off!

I’m always astonished by sam’s humble talent. His artist name, ‘nino’ is an endearing homage to our beloved grandfather Nino, as well as our Croatian roots. Nino was an architect for decades. Sam’s own architectural talent lies in his creative ear...shining through in this unique, and magically woven musical journey :) enjoy !

Another Dutch pal joining the series! This time, i'm glad to host a deep & diverse mix full of bangers & rarities from No Services. Also known as David Cornelissen, the Amsterdam local is an active member of the scene, and before its' closure earlier this year, was a resident of Red Light Radio. I originally came across the DJ via his magical Nachtdigital Mint opening set and can't wait to see more of him around when parties kick off again.

For now, enjoy this hour of on deep, breaky & on point gems <3 This mix has something i'm always striving for when I make mixes myself ~~ balance, and the perfect flow. Thanks David and hopefully see you on a dance floor somewhere soon! @noservicee

I am so happy to share this new mix with you by the lovely Dwayne aka @parris_dj

With an incredible repertoire of releases on Idle Hands, Trilogy Tapes & a recent collaboration with Call Super, Parris has become an undeniable beacon of talent within the UK scene & beyond. I love the warmth and positive energy that come from his unique bass driven productions. His style oozing through here in this beautiful mix. 

Thank you so much for contributing to the series Dwayne <3

Can't believe Animix is already at it's twentieth mix! I am delighted that no.20 comes from @kikimolina, all the way from Santiago, Chile. Kiki has been a drummer/percussionist their whole life, and works as an anthropologist, recently focusing on pre-Columbian American music and instruments. With mixes, Kiki aims to create a ritual and lasting space, long, languid ideas, and an essence of calm... 

Gracefully done, this mix is just that. An other-wordly float through electronica, ambient & beyond.

Thank you so much for your contribution to the series Kiki <3

In recent times, Space Cadets have taken the scene by storm. Based in Leeds, UK, the two are quickly becoming synonymous with a modern and exciting tech/trancey style of production. Both are also residents/co-run the party/mix series @on-rotation-music

Marlon (@liseneuk) & Adam (@adampits) have pioneered a new and unique sound, inspired by elements of 90's and early 2000's tech/trance/prog and electronica but with their own signature touches and embedded with a distinctly UK vibe. With respective releases on Planet Euphorique, Banoffee Pies, X-Kalay & Holding Hands, not only are both incredibly talented producers in their own right, but this mix is proof that their ability to select and compile a compelling set is just as impressive. 

This mix is what we all need after a long 2020. 

Thankyou Marlon & Adam :')

Number twenty two is nostalgic trip to the beachside Outro Lado stage at Waking Life, by my friend Sam (@billusmoon). Sam is a talented local producer and DJ who has been involved in an array of events and musical leanings in Melbourne over the last few years. He is a co-creator of @lifeworld and just released a beautiful tune on the new @mindmap_music compilation. 
I've been a big fan of Sam's taste for a while. His Jazzy, minimal and sometimes idm-y style is always emotionally reminiscent of musical moments we experienced at Waking life <3 

Enjoy the beautifully selected sunny vibes. Thanks Sam!
