Histoires de Piscine 141 by Orée

7e 7Hours at MItsuki 2024/6/7

An episode that feels well overdue yet thoroughly worth the wait! A titan of the Naarm underground music scene, Pjenné has been a kindred spirit and longtime pal since the early days of MDC, and it's no surprise that her contribution is packed full of gloriously deep and immersive feels, bassy and driving in parts and light as a feather in others, speaking to a palette that has been meticulously explored and continues to evolve along with her incredible weekly radio show on PBS, Passing Notes.

Q. What sounds of feelings did you draw upon when gathering inspiration for this mix, and what listening environments could you imagine it being best enjoyed in?

A. For this mix, I wanted to channel the energy and sounds that I associate with Melbourne Deepcast rather than drawing on the darker side of my sound palette that has been at the fore of my radio and club sets of late. MDC means so many things to me, but there’s definitely an energetic, grooviness that comes to mind and this is what inspired the mix. Although the mix does showcase parts of me (heavily atmospheric, emotive and a few downtempo tracks for good measure), I’d say this is more of a mix for you. :) I imagine this mix being listened to outside, on a sunny day, but when you might also need a little extra pep in your step. 

Q. Are there any songs in the mix that are especially close to your heart, and what is it about these tracks that resonate with you so much?

A. The first that came to mind is a track by Sean Cusick and Medway (Jesse Skeens) - It is an incredibly beautiful and emotive breakbeat track from 2002 on Saw recordings, there’s just something about how the vocals and the pads wash over you - although its upbeat there's also a sombreness to it and I just think its the whole package. 

Towards the end of the mix there’s also a very very classic ambient trance number, Lazer Worshippers by Damon Wild & Tim Taylor from 1993 - Not the most deeply dug track but it's a classic for a reason.

Q. You have been lovingly broadcasting your weekly radio show Passing Notes on PBS for six years running, which is a serious achievement! Tell us what you did for your sixth anniversary on International Women's Day, and what keeps you inspired to broadcast the show week in week out?

A. It’s been a wild ride that’s for sure! I really appreciate that International Women’s Day marks each yearly anniversary of Passing Notes - it reminds me to stop and reflect on each year as an achievement that I would probably otherwise forget in the chaos of life. This year I enlisted the help of Syrian DJ and Harmony Rec affiliate Zeynep, who provided an excellent, playful and sassy celebratory guest mix. 

As for my inspiration to keep going, I’d say that I draw from the collective power of electronic artists locally as well as internationally. There’s just so much good music to share, and Passing Notes enables me to provide a crucial connection between ‘underground’ electronic music and the wider music community. I'm also inspired by live radio as a format - it provides a sanctuary for me from the highly curated nature of music today and allows me to be more playful in the way that I explore different sounds. To me it is a place free of judgement.

Blitz Live : Richard Akingbehin : 22/03/2025

This month’s Outsiders show is a deep dive with theories, a Berlin-based audiovisual artist and long-time sound explorer. Recorded at sunrise, the mix drifts gently between haze and clarity. Blending retro-futurist textures, dub-infused rhythms, liquid DnB echoes and downtempo grooves, theories crafts a melancholic, distorted, yet tender music journey. Transitions unfold like shifting moods: unpredictable, raw, yet fluid.

Originally intended as a warm, euphoric ride, the mix instead channels vulnerability and emotional truth — a reflection of a long night where music became the guide. A slowly unfolding, genre-blurring exploration where opposites meet and resonate.

🌐 "Outsiders" is our daily show hosted by labels, collectives, agencies, venues, clubs, ... worldwide
📡 Connect with the Outsiders, every day, at 9 am or 9 pm CET

Outsiders: Futurepast w/ theories @ Kiosk Radio 11.07.2025

Interior Evenings is the first in a series of sound portraits exploring the art of being alone. Each piece lives in that suspended moment between day and night -  where the noise fades, the room settles, and the mind starts to wander.

Built from textures, tone, and stillness, it’s music engineered for emotional clarity -  spacious, cinematic, and unapologetically personal. Designed to fill the room without taking it over.
For those who prefer their own company.

The quiet isn’t lonely -  it’s intentional.
