1020 Radio w/ Vita D & Seb (28 June 2021)

This time round we're in the studio with Vita D who's bringing us cosmic sounds, balearic jams and hard hitting groovers.

We first met Vita D out in Hanoi where we DJ’d at the super cool and crafty club called Savage run by our good friend Ouissam. Ever since then Max has been running parties with the Club Neptune lot and sharing tunes on his tasty little radio show down at Netil Radio. 

Hear him bring us back from the post-parties blues for our second Paradia Sound show on Threads Radio, all in anticipation of our Paradia Launch Party on 10th June at The Waiting Room...

Cheers for your ears

[1.02] PARADIA w/ Vita D

Netil Radio resident & club neptune / off limits party starter, Max Q (@vita_d) steps up with a masterclass in building pressure for our 7th instalment.

I really love those moments in a club where you suddenly find yourself in this deep, introspective space; the pressure has been slowly building for a while, the atmosphere is kind of simmering to the point where it feels like it might boil over… I guess the mix is inspired by moments like that, really.

I had this imagery in my mind of a deep-sea dive - the pressure mounting as you go deeper, until eventually you’re in this other-worldly place with all kinds of trippy-looking creatures. Then making your way back to the surface, the pressure eases as you see the light and feel the sea spray… hopefully that comes across haha

People should definitely check out the Coop Audio collective. We’ve done a few collaborative parties with them and their ethos on safe raving is something that really resonates. They also run this annual weekender in which everyone is encouraged to participate in making the weekend a success by contributing a skill/talent to the weekend, whether that’s running a workshop, teaching yoga or playing a DJ set. Pus they’ve all got peng tunes and are really lovely people. So yeah big shout out Chris & co ♡

Lol probably you to be honest Jas. I guess it was a festival not a club, but we met through mutual pals at Waterworks a couple of summers ago, had a very nice & wholesome time, and have been bezzy m8s ever since x

I was in Berlin last weekend and went to Darwin’s Reef party at Berghain. Aside from the weapons-grade bangers, it just felt really special to party somewhere that gives such weight and importance to people having freedom to be themselves.

Sunju Hargun’s ‘Unrush’ mix is one I keep coming back to at the moment. Deeper than deep ambient vibrations from an insanely versatile DJ. Someone who should be on everyone’s radar rn.

Any time I watch Jeff Mills do his thing, I repeatedly come away convinced that he’s probably the best DJ in the world.

I lived in Hanoi for a few years and it still holds a really special place in my heart. Clubs like Savage and parties like Snug are creating something unique in the Asian scene, unearthing and showcasing loads of local talent in a country that’s not necessarily known for its clubbing scene worldwide (but soon will be imo). Big up Ouissam and the gang

kinetic mix 07: Max Q "pressure and release"

This mix was recorded live during a sound & movement workshop I ran with my partner, Bex, at the studio back in early March.

The idea was to stitch together sounds, moods  and textures that complimented the accompanying yoga flow being taught by Bex, moving slowly through breath-work and meditation into some gentle movement and yin yoga. 

I tried to build a sort of collage of warm, dubby ambient, with some sparse percussion later on to soundtrack the movement part of the session. Perfect listening for a Spring stroll or at home melting into the sofa 🫠

Max Unknown’s contribution to the series is an ode to rainy London nights. Winds are howling, the unrelenting rain is pattering against the window, accompanied by occasional claps of distant thunder. And yet, despite the gloom outside, there is a sense of calm - a softness that underpins and permeates his moody, melancholy selections.

Drawing on a sound palette of hazy ambient, fuzzed-out shoegaze and space rock, Max’s mix is a collage of reverb-drenched atmospheres, rumbling percussion and eerily beautiful melodies, stitched together with delicate precision.

It doesn’t happen often, but when it does, it’s a revelation—

that rare moment when a mix doesn’t just sound good, but feels like it’s tuning into every sense, pulling you into euphoric territory you didn’t know was there.

For Sessions 13, Tony Remple delivers exactly that with his mind-bending contribution, “Rhythm Gore.”

Tony heads up Musique Plastique in Portland, OR, and I’ve long admired his ear as both record shop owner and label curator. So when he agreed to contribute to the Sessions series, I knew it would be something next-level.
