o•rbyss aims to help soothe the queer spectrum and focus on the well-being of the community. Queer DJs are invited to submit a mix to showcase an alternative side to their music library outside of a rave and take us on a meditative journey. ✨

Notes on the mix:

“As the final chapter of summer approaches, I chose to create an ambient mix in time for the seasonal shift to introspection, reflection & hibernation. A mix for any time or place, to help you experience your surroundings away from the dancefloor.”

Bethan is a London based DJ, and can often be found playing and promoting at East London's much loved Dalston Superstore, as well as other queer parties across the capital, and is a core member of the long running night 'Happy Endings'.

She creates diverse sets that explore the deep, percussive & emotional side to progressive house, early trance, techno & beyond. However, she is just as comfortable playing at lower BPMs, swirling between ambient, downtempo & jungle.

To begin the mix series of Deities, I am delighted to welcome Bethan as Nova. With a beautiful fusion of etherealness, light & tranquility, Bethan has curated a Deity that holds profoundness, nature and a purpose in life close to them. 

This mix elegantly captures these wonders through storytelling and seamless blends of carefully selected tracks, serving as the soundtrack to their initiation into becoming Nova.

01 - NOVA - Bethan

BDE regular @bethan_l is a London based DJ, and has been slowly establishing herself in London’s growing queer scene for the past 9 years. She can often be found playing and promoting at East London’s much loved Dalston Superstore as a core member of long standing parties ‘Happy Endings’ & ‘Bodycon'

Notes on the mix:

“I decided to play array of genres which serves as a nod to a small handful some of my favourite sets I witnessed over the past 4 years at the BDE parties which I miss so dearly <3”

BDE 005: Bethan

The latest firmware update for the Virtual Utopia servers has been released, offering a simulated experience audio-coded by london-based Bethan (@bethan_l). A luscious adventure through dreamy organics, transiently spanning downtempo to trance, all immersed in sheer chromatic layers of formless, ethereal beauty. 

Here, the water glows with an otherworldly luminescence, and the delicate ripples shimmer with a soft purity that calms the soul. You breathe deeply, the clean air surrounding you radiates a warming hum so present it's almost audible. The hum feels omnibenevolent—so harmonious it seems to stretch beyond the boundaries of the physical, vibrating in tune with a dimension where only pure energy exists.

From beneath the translucent waters, something begins to rise—a presence, a fractal unfolding of light and sound, fluid and formless, bending and shifting with the rhythm of existence. It is a living, breathing connection between the unseen and the seen, a metaphysical healer from a distant reality resonating on frequencies higher than those known in our world.
Below these quiet waters, a lotus begins to grow, its petals unfolding as it reaches for the first soft kiss of light. As it blooms, ascending from the depths, it reveals a pure, radiant beauty, untouched by the darkness below. In this moment, it becomes a whisper of awakening—rising above the shadows, embracing the light with quiet grace, a dreamlike reflection of the soul’s journey.

"The lotus flower blooms most beautifully from the deepest and most muddiest water." – Unknown, Buddhist Proverb
