Truancy Volume 295: Maara

"I recorded it at the end of this past summer, which coincided with the end of the festival season. I needed to recharge my physical+emotional batteries after a summer-long marathon of playing non stop in clubs and festivals all over France and doing my Berlin debuts.

 I think the mix is an accurate reflection of my mood in that moment. It’s a nostalgic combo of slow rhythms, soft vocals and transcendental vibes, which help de-clutter the mind and ease the soul. I would recommend giving it a listen on a sunny afternoon, going out on a walk in a park or while riding a bike near a body of water. "

We catch up with @6969bambi, resident DJ of Macadam Nantes, a host of Rinse France as well as curator for @tentacularlov, a show and mix series on Dia Radio. Bambi has prepared us a beautiful down-tempo mix, full of trip hop, jungle and other sexy slow rhythms.

For Rotations 26 we have Activator — the newly formed project from two Naarm DJs Jaevin aka Vitamin DJ / @vitamin_D_J  and Clay aka Toorak Cowboy / @claywaddell.

Two of the most warm and vibrant lovers of the Naarm music scene, both Jaevin and Clay's infectious energy translates into their sets which are pure, unadulterated fun.

Progressive, trancey and with a little euro-house flava, this mix is nearly 2 hours of non-stop energy with a few unreleased local tracks ;)

Thanking Activator for this gorg mix <3

Number 22 brings my lovely Berlin based friend George aka Dugong @deejaydugong. Originally from Brisbane, Australia, he is  the co-organiser of music & events collective @astralvipz, he has an incredible taste & technical skill for dj'ing - which I was lucky enough to witness at the astral vip x imaginary friend party in Berlin last year (incredible party!).

Under astral vip, on top of regular parties, they have a residency @refugeworldwide where you can find a bunch of incredible mixes to sift through. I think George's music is a great reflection of his charismatic, fun personality - a diverse selection of euphoric, deep party bangers. Hope you enjoy the mix as much as I did!

Thanks again George <3

Montreal’s sapphic mixxtress, the elusive mogul Maara, unveils her debut full length LP via Step Ball Chain. A pairing written in the stars, with twelve dynamically diverse and emotive soundscapes of downtempo bliss, spine-chilling drum and bass and elevated electronica - timeless anthems for sonic indulgence and reflection. Take a deep dive into the sensually charged inner workings of the already prolific producer’s mind. 

An effervescent atmosphere envelopes it’s way through the records entirety, whether it be gloriously lush pads, melancholic words and whispers from her own lips or subterrantian bass. Maara’s world of sound showcases the wild spectrum of emotion, the empathetic passion of joy in Awaken, Plum Plum and Sapphic Rehabilitation Centre alongside the darkness of Insidious Force or Rough ‘N’ Ready. But like most things, the purest beauty can be found within the grey areas, where majority of this records lies. A powerful ebb and flow between cloudy twilight and it’s recurring silver lining, Nothing Sacred wraps you around it’s finger whilst Erotics Of Betrayal pulls you in unexpected directions sure to conjure feelings you didn’t know existed.  

A masterfully united album from start to finish, each listen unveils endless intricacy, delicately and deliciously revealing the potent DNA of Maara.

Maara - The Ancient Truth (STEP07)

"I recorded this mix on my latest Berlin trip while I was on tour. I wanted this mix to reflect on themes of longing, loss, love, and desire. I’ve recently undergone a lot of personal changes in my life, from relationships and friendships evolving to traveling quite a lot and being away from home. It’s kind of meant to be a hybrid of a playlist/mix I suppose. For me, these songs evoke a certain nostalgia, sadness, and catharsis. But hopefully some hope and joy as well. Lots of vocals and classics like Madonna, as well as some other better-known tracks. I wanted it to be a nice listening experience that's thematic more so than anything else. Could be nice to listen to while you’re at home, out for a drive, cleaning, or just want something non-abrasive to listen to."

Oddysee 052 | 'Bass Reflection' by Roza Terenzi

From dry to wet, from paddock to plate, from us to you. IVX23 Wet Version is the reincarnation of our track Red Rock designed specifically for our live set at the final Inner Varnika Festival (RIP) 2023 in Bookar, Victoria (Djagurd Wurrung Country). It's harder, faster, longer (11 minutes and 15 seconds to be precise) and our crack at representing the special outdoor atmosphere of this mythical gathering that's become very close to our hearts.

Shout out to the IV crew.
