To guide us through the next simulated experience; Passing Notes Radio boss and 1/2 of the great new label ‘Companion', Pjenné [Melbourne, AUS], shows us what a utopian existence can sound, feel and look like.

Follow on as she glides through the stratosphere, looking down on the lush greenery and crystal water that our earth effortlessly inhabits... occasionally looking up into the vast display of distant stars and planets, glittering across the stillness of outer space.

Pjenné beautifully illustrates the phenomenology of nature through tracks which touch on each element, whether that be the ethereality of air, the intricacy of water, the depth of earth, or just the pure warmth flowing through this immaculately thought-out audible narrative.

We couldn’t help but think this would be the perfect soundtrack for the day peace on earth is declared, where humanity sits back and appreciates a new world— where collectively, we love what grows, exists and dies.

This small blue dot is our home… our balanced oasis in the desert of space. Perhaps we need the ability to fly to see a different perspective - and we’re sure this will help.

Close your eyes and drift into your own self.

Enjoy, and thankyou Pjenné

Introduce yourself? Preferred pronouns? Where do you currently reside? 1 fun fact about yourself? 

Hi i’m Gigi — he/his — Austin, TX — I was a childhood ice hockey star

How is everything going with you right now?

I have been fortunate enough to be well.. been using this year off from work to dive into a practice and learn some discipline.

How did you get your dj name?

I got it from my partner, Mimi — she flipped my original g-name into gigi & it stuck. I never liked my birth name much anyway + it’s cute to match.

Who currently inspires your music-wise?

ry, tito fuego/mister water wet, charles, bobby, nueen, boundary, jel, purelink, pascäal, ian kim judd, jung dj, shiner, downstairs j, hysterical love project,  perila, oli/px, thurlow joyce+ many more.. so many friends exploring inspiring places these days

If you had to describe yourself as a flower,which one would it be and why? 

Mimi says “frost flowers because they’re ephemeral”

Favorite weird drug/mind altering experience?

What was your first gig? How did it go? 

A show put together by Ben Aqua at an upstairs club on downtown Congress that I don’t recall. I was 18 & had only started making music on ableton a few months prior, and played a live set that mostly consisted of pressing play on a 30 min composed production mix with a little knob twiddling & dj drop triggering. considering that, I’d say it went pretty well

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

I think it’s obvious, but increased representation without tokenism. also, turn away from the dj & look at your fellow dancers.

Any cool releases upcoming for Gi Gi this year? 

I don’t want to speak too soon, but I do have a couple of records in the pipeline with quiet time & index, both of which I’m very excited about. working on some more uptempo material as kept that should be seeing the light of day soon as well.

We’re proud to welcome @daisyrecordsmelbourne into our WHiTMIX series — a mix that moves with the pulse of so-called Australia and the deep threads of community that continue to shape us across distance and time.

Crafted by the Berlin/Naarm-based collective, this mix holds space for the voices and rhythms that formed their roots and ours — a sonic reflection of connection, memory, and place.

From Daisy Records:
“We’re a Berlin/Naarm-based label, online store, DJ duo and event series. This mix is a personal one, made entirely of artists from so-called Australia — a place that shaped our ears, friendships and dancefloors, and continues to ground our project even as we live oceans away.

Through our first three annual compilations and beyond, we’ve always aimed to highlight emerging talent from back home. This mix is no different — it’s filled with rhythm, memory, and love for the community that raised us.”

Grateful to share this frequency with you.

Focus Zen – The Sound of Balance is a 13-track ambient journey exploring the harmony between strength and calm through Vietnamese Zen soundscapes.

Each 1-hour composition blends bamboo flute, temple bells, and deep forest ambience — representing the balance of masculine discipline and feminine softness.

Inspired by Vietnamese temples, bamboo groves, and the quiet rhythm of breath, this album invites listeners into “moving meditation” — a state of flow where concentration itself becomes calm.

This is Vietnamese Zen: minimal, grounded, alive.

🌿 Created by One Hour Zen.

Jane Fitz played the 2011 Dorisburg track "Tundra" around the middle of her Sunday night set at the Treehouse. We're mentioning this because "Tundra" does a nice job of illustrating Fitz's sound, a sound that's seen her international bookings grow substantially over the past couple years. The track rolls and bubbles and fizzes, its groove locking you completely to the floor without being flashy about it.
