Recorded live on the HMAS Vampire, Sydney Harbour ⚓️🎶🌊

In 1964, my dad’s eldest brother, Franklin Morgan, was a 20 y/o sailor working aboard the HMAS Voyager & by all accounts a lovely young man. Frank was one of 82 officers & sailors who tragically died when the HMAS Melbourne collided with the HMAS Voyager during a nighttime training exercise. It was the worst peacetime disaster in the RAN’s history & devastating for dad’s family. 

57 years later, Frank’s niece (me) was invited to play an ambient set on board the Voyager’s identical sister ship, the HMAS Vampire. Bit of a full circle moment. 

NB: Although both the HMAS Voyager and Vampire were ‘Daring Class Destroyers’ ie. gun ships, neither ship ever fired at an enemy.

Preparing for this gig was at times very sad, and being physically on the ship felt heavy. This history influenced some music choices & the narrative that I built. You will also hear a ceremonial Yolgnu song to release the spirits of the deceased ❤️🖤 You will hear women’s voices singing in various languages, because brave women in Australia are now raising their voices & being heard 👊 Almost half the music is composed and/or sung by women. And underpinning all of this is one of the most powerful and beautiful forces in our world - the ocean 🌊 

I toyed around with some subtle 8D-inspired mixing at a few points, let me know if you hear it & like it. Enjoy X

Massimiliano Pagliara's current-yet-classic style can best be described as an eclectic mix of house, disco, electro and techno. The Berghain / Panorama Bar resident runs his own label Funnuvojere Records and releases on labels such as Live At Robert Johnson, Ostgut Ton, and Permanent Vacation. Massimiliano delivered an outstanding remix for DC Salas' 'Time Well Spent' that was released on TAU last week bit.ly/Tau032 – which is also included in this brand new dj mix for our TAU Cast series. @massimilianopagliara

Roman Flügel - 10 June 2023

For the inaugural event in Montreal we teamed up with local vinyl institution, label and community hub La Rama Records to co-curate the lineup for the event. Represented by Kris Guilty, La Rama hosted a pop-up record sale with Montreal based artists and labels at the intimate OSMO X MARUSAN Café, a space merging music, coffee, and Japanese cuisine.

Shift Radio was our second collaborator and streamed this event live on their channels. Founded in late 2020 after a visit to Brussels, Audrey and Charles combined their experiences with online radio and planted a seed in the Montreal scene that grew into what Shift Radio is now: a Montreal-based independent web radio station dedicated to promoting the abundance and diversity of Montreal's electronic music scene through livestreams carefully selected by people, not algorithms.

Being a resident at Panorama Bar is something to be pretty proud of. Being a resident at Panorama Bar, Trouw (RIP), Output and Rex Club, working at Hard Wax and releasing on Zip's Perlon label is pretty incredible - and that's just a portion of what Cassy's accomplished in her career to date. In-between a relentless schedule of festival gig and club shows across the world, Cassy's recorded us this exclusive mix featuring heavyweight jams from Robert Hood, DJ Koze and Benjamin Damage, showcasing the tougher side of her craft in the process.

As one of our few residents, @steffenbennemann has played many sets in Olganitz - about half of them in numerous collaborations with friends. For our very last edition, he hooked up with @polooo who is also a firm Nachti favourite. Starting right before sunset they took us on a massive trip into the night that got the whole beach raving like there is no tomorrow.
