Guest Shows and Mixes

We are delighted to welcome back, former Phonica staff member Prague born, London-based Adriana aka Ariane V, who is next up on our Friend & Family mix series.
Ariane V is known for having a vast taste in disco, UKG, Balearic & house, these are all represented in her Balamii residency that we can't get enough of here at Phonica. She also runs Rhythm Sister, a collective/community through which they support female, nonbinary, and trans DJs and producers by running workshops and hosting events.
For this two hour journey Adriana brings us into the setting of her set at Love International where she just returned from playing just recently. Adriana has taken the records from that evening and reconstructed the setting of a warm summery beach in Croatia to a blissful cosmic connection of balearic sounds & deep house. We had a quick chat with Adriana so she could tell us a bit more about the mix in detail. You can read that over on WWW.OFFTHERECORD.NET

Radio On Vacation with Ariane V

Ariane V is a sucker for an infectious house cut. Not your regular "monotonous doof doof" as she calls it, we're talking the kind of house music that'll keep your energy levels high and your bodies moving from the get go. 

The Czech-born, London-based DJ has come up through the ranks as part of Common Ground (FKA Rhythm Sister), a DJ collective who platform, support and promote womxn, non-binary and trans artists.

Thanks to her refined tastes, which you can hear on her monthly radio show on South London's Balamii, individually she's been picking up regular slots across London and the UK, with an upcoming debut overseas in Slovakia soon.

Best listened to as a little Friday night sonic pre-amble or to soundtrack your home cooking, Ariane's Shine A Light offering is an hour and a half journey through laidback jams, cosmic chuggers, uplifting vocal house and driving progressive cuts, with a couple of tracks from her native Czech Republic thrown in the mix.

Ariane V: The 'Shine A Light On' Mix

This month's guest mix comes from London based selector Ariane V. She's part of the Common Ground collective, has a show on Balamii Radio, and has played at Corsica Studios, Night Tales, Brilliant Corners, and Love International festival. I heard her mix for Permanent Vacation and loved it! So I'm honoured to have her contribute a guest mix to the show.

There's also new tunes this month from Zellmani, Choopsie, and Milio.

Soho Radio 035 with Ariane V - October 2022

Twisted are a grassroots festival and indie electronic party creators curating some of the best nights across London. Twisted's takeover brings their resident festival DJs and friends alike for an electronic takeover like no other.

"We're super gassed to be joined by the Czech born, London based Ariane V. With a pedigree spent cutting her teeth behind the counter at Phonica Records and as a member of the Common Ground collective fka Rhythm Sister.

Ariane V's exquisite selections frequently drift through the dreamlike and euphoric to the broken beat and acid pumpers, with a back catalogue of mixes for the likes of Balamii, Rinse, Hör, and Permanent Vacation to name a few, it's safe to say we are in for a real treat."

We Out Here x Worldwide FM - Ariane V

Ariane V joins the series for Viscera 109! 

"Prague-born, London based Ariane V is a selector on the rise. Cutting her teeth with a stint behind the counter at Soho’s legendary Phonica Records, she quickly developed a taste for a broad range of dance music, building an enviable record collection in the process.

Initially rooted in house & disco, Ariane V’s exquisite selections frequently drift through the dreamlike and euphoric to the broken beat and acid pumpers. She’s a regular at many of London's best venues, either getting people dancing at the likes of Corsica Studios and the Cause, or digging deep at audiophile spaces such as Brilliant Corners. An experienced radio host, she has appeared on multiple radio stations in the UK and abroad in addition to her regular monthly show on Peckham’s Balamii Radio."

Let today's mix guide you through a deep exploration of the cosmos.

PNNY TAKEOVER w/ ARRIANE V - Friday 2nd February 2024

London based Ariane V joins for an hour of her latest favourite club cuts.

Ariane V @ The Lot Radio 05-24-2024

Excited to be finally sharing a live recording of @arianev from the most recent @Optick_dance party with our @Visceramusic compadres. Going strength to strength in London's music scene, this mix is an example of what Ariane V does best, connecting the dots between balaeric cuts, glistening house, chug and italo. Her Balamii residency has seen guest appearances from the likes of Secretsundaze, Moxie and Hardway Bros (Sean Johnson). Her growing reputation as a broadcaster and DJ has gained international attention, recently warming up for Berghain resident Roi Perez at @PlanetGroove, Belgium. 

Here's a few words from Ariane V herself ...

"Sometimes you play a set and wish it had been recorded, and this was one of those times - but it actually *was* recorded. I've never released a recording of a live set before, and I'm so glad this gets to be the first. The Viscera/Paradia guys who played before me on the night played a great opening set ending around 100 bpm, which gave me all the freedom to do whatever I wanted with my slot. Going from chug, to balearic, to acid, slowly bringing it up to house tempos. Exactly the kind of set I love playing. A definite highlight for me was a group of guys shazaming Gazza's Fog on the Tyne. Thank you for having me and for recording the set and putting it out there for everyone to hear ❤️''

The rest is nooooiiiise

[3.04] PARADIA w/ Ariane V

Slam City FM is back! This time with a lovely guest mix in the second hour by London based DJ and radio host @arianev. She hosts a weekly (!!) show on the great Balamii radio and is part of the Balearic London crew. Two hours with everything house music 🏠

Slam City FM 47 I w/ Ariane V + Rhode & Brown I via Radio 80000

This guest mix by @arianev @refugeworldwide is a thoughtful blend of deep grooves and vibrant rhythms. Moving across house, dubby textures, and hints of balearic energy, her selections—like Minimal Vision’s “Milky Way” and Sy’s “Feel the Rhythm”—strike a balance between introspection and movement. It’s a mix that feels effortless yet intentional, with a warmth that lingers long after the last track fades.

Interview

WEMOTO RADIO - 032 - ARIANE V

The first edition of PHANTASYMIX in 2025 arrives courtesy of London’s much-loved Ariane V, a DJ and radio host who represents a new vanguard of generous selectors with an audible appreciation for dance music with depth and character. Beginning with a three-year stint building her taste and record collection from behind the counter at Phonica Records, Ariane’s knowledge and instincts for a great record have only deepened in the decade since. as exemplified not only by a tour schedule that has taken from London to Paris, Berlin and Barcelona, but weekly to Peckham, where her previous residency for Balaami FM saw her sharing the decks and the mic in conversation with DJs including Wallace, Colleen Cosmo Murphy, Mr. Ho and Moxie. 

Taking keen cue from Phantasy’s undercurrent of a ‘psychedelic sensibility’, Ariane V’s PHANTASYMIX blends the likes of Prince, CC:DISCO, Josh Caffe, Hardway Bros and more.

Up next for Tapes #162 is South London-based DJ Ariane V, with a recorded set from Corsica Studios’ Palestine Fundraiser back in May.

Ariane’s reputation continues to rise as her sound becomes ever-more assured. Whether turning up the energy with breaks and acid cuts at peak time or locking in for a heads-down ride, her selections are rooted in a deep sense of groove. Emotive house cuts give way to driving prog, punctuated by leftfield disco, glistening italo, and euphoric piano moments. all delivered with a joyful appreciation and deep connection to the music.

Origins Tapes 162 - Ariane V

I had the pleasure to open Phonox on the 6th of September, warming up for Harrison BDP and Session Victim. I had the best time taking the room from empty to vibing, handing the room over to the boys in the best state I could get it to. 2 hours of pure house. Enjoy <3
