melt mix vol. 60 - dj netburner

@Toniyotzi sifted through her collection of 2021 releases to mix for us her dance music favourites of the year. The result is a seamless blend of broken beat techno and bass music, underwritten with that distinctive UK sound she has been known to blast on sound systems across Australia.

Stick around for the interview after the mix, in which we spoke with Toni about her DJing mindset, her musical evolution, the pros and cons of DJing in a smaller town versus a bigger town, and more.

Lena Willikens joined us in the arcade for a one-off show. 60 minutes of hypnotic bass, techno and breaks from the likes of Batu, Pugilist and Anunaku.

Off-kilter techno, spacey electro and thumping bass. Signature sounds from Maad, one of Naarm's most exciting selectors.

@edavd is the project of multidisciplinary artist Emmanuel David Monteiro. A deep thinker, E Davd brings a theoretical and conceptual lens to his work - if you listen deeply and with intent, you can begin to understand some of the complex ideas that underscore his music. Process driven and creative, E Davd is not bound by genre, rather working with different patterns, rhythms and approaches to sound to explore his connection to, and barriers to ancestry and heritage. Starting out age nine on the congas, playing Cape Verdean and afro music in his dad’s band, E Davd now uses electronic music to explore his own ideas about black music. Now, he uses techno as a mechanism to explore complex themes such as the nexus of nature and technology, Indigenous technologies and afrofuturism. His radio show and soon to be record label ‘Visions of Utopia’ on Nomad Radio also encapsulate these themes, looking toward a utopian society that is not only equal and free from racial violence, but one in which blackness is privileged.  E Davd uses his guest mix on Passing Notes to present a deep excavation into the internet, himself and afrofuturism - expect a sound collage of original works - finished and ‘unfinished’, samples and snippets from afrofuturism documentary ‘The Last Angel of History’. I had a wonderful time talking with E Davd about afrofuturism, ancestry, blackness, black music and more.
