The nexts mix comes from a serious pillar of the scene and facilitator of music dispersal. He has support naff for years now by distributing our records and standing behind us as a friend and associate. 

Words from the artist: This hour is a fair snapshot of sounds that hit somewhere deep, stir the chemicals, and remind me (why) I’m still in motion. Respect it, don’t neglect it!

D. Tyrone dives in with ‘Programmer’, a track originally dreamt up for Rewild, a small gathering of queers coming together to plant trees on Dja Dja Wurrung Country.

Next up is ’Funky’, recorded during a stint at MESS (Melbourne Electronic Sound Studio) and driven by a fixation on Yahama gear from the 90s and 2000s. The Age of Love mix — one of three original recorded versions — rolls with bouncy, techy bass loops that set the perfect handover into the second half of the split.

Jo Christy’s ‘Electric’ first took shape as part of a live hardware set back in 2023, during a period when Jo was drawing inspiration from both ’90s dance music and more contemporary progressive styles. Originally recorded at 139bpm, Electric has gradually been slowed down as Jo’s sensibilities shifted toward groove and feeling over tempo.

The split comes to a close with the irresistible, stab-studded ‘Whirlydig’, the result of near-endless experimentation. As Jo recalls, “It took a lot of persuasion from Dirk (D. Tyrone) to just accept its final form. I’m glad I did — they told me that the tune is flowy with good call-and-response, but the almost kinda whacko vibe of that synth is what makes it really catchy.”

Artwork by Oriette Wood, local multidisciplinary artist and dear friend of both D. and Jo. Oriette’s art practice is informed by her experience as a trans woman, exploring gender identity, eroticism and kink.

Mastering by Benjamin Colbourne, local queer artist and engineer who also releases music under the name B. C. Slumber.
