Dank Matter + Previous Aliases (DJ MIXES)

"Friend of the show Ian Hall will be putting together a guest mix for us to play. Ean alongside partner in crime Twonko and residents Smiddy, Galaxian, Jan and Peacock are responsible for one of Glasgow's newest and most respected club nights. Void.

Since Void's initial inception at the beginning of this year, throughout it's short period of time they have consistently strived to bring to Glasgow some of the finest, most progressive dj’s and producers from the all over the world from Detroit techno and electro (D.I.E's very own DJ Maaco) to squelching acid house (Perseus Traxx) to deep, soul searching minimalism from Poland (Echoplex) as well as providing a platform for some of the most proficient local acts to show off their skills from Thunder Disco Club to Konx-Om-Pax to members of the All Caps crew.

Void's sound palette broadens far beyond those horizons as they encompass all of the great facets of music from Hip-Hop to Italo-Disco to Coldwave to Funk and further afield. It doesn't cater toward a specific genre, it is a celebration of music.

Fascinatingly almost each show has had a theme attached to it. From February's fantastically titled "Transmission From The Outer Atmosphere" (the poster has what appears to be spacemen floating aimlessly in space as they approach the sun) to March's "Set The Controls For The Event Horizon" (the poster gives you the impression that you are peering through an hexagonal window of a star ship as it enters warp speed). Being a big fan of science-fiction, the development of ideas/concepts/theories, the enhancement of technology and looking toward the future, I feel as if Void are wanting to combine both energy and matter so that they can transport us to the end of the cosmos where nebulas and clusters of galaxies limitlessly expand beyond your line of sight, whilst our minds meld and melt into the seeping gateways of time and space."

Earthly Matters - Positronic Cerebrum {Ean - Void}

Les yeux fermés proposent des concerts dans l’obscurité, sans écrans ni téléphones portables, avec un dispositif d’écoute immersif pour mieux se perdre dans le son et renouer avec une expérience intime et collective.

Après des concerts à la Gaité Lyrique, au Lieu Unique (Nantes), la Fondation Beyeler (Basel) ou la SAT de Montréal, Les Yeux Fermés investissent les ondes de Rinse France pour une émission mensuelle de deux heures au cours de laquelle un(e) invité(e) aura carte blanche pour sélectionner une heure de musique à écouter dans l’obscurité, la première heure étant sélectionnée par Guillaume Sorge, le directeur artistique du projet.

Cette émission sans parole vous proposera une géographie sonore de l’intime, sélectionnée par des artistes issu(e)s d’horizons divers - pas forcément des musiciens - ayant en commun un rapport très particulier à la musique.


Fantastic Twins, the ongoing project of Julienne Dessagne, is a sonic exploration of dual characters born from one distinct perspective. A producer, songwriter and acclaimed live performer, Dessagne has spent the last decade sculpting a unique world, releasing on influential labels such as Optimo Music, supporting Bicep on tour and earning the stewardship of electronic music icons including the late, great Andrew Weatherall.

While 2023 sees the release of Fantastic Twins long-anticipated album,‘Two Is Not a Number’, Dessagne’s cultish reputation as a live act precedes itself. Prioritising a natural predisposition to experimentation alongside decades spent on the most open-minded dancefloors, Fantastic Twins’ focus on a hybrid approach, featuring synthesizers, samplers, sequencers and modular effects has enraptured audiences at some of the world’s finest nightclubs, including fabric and Robert Johnson, as well as festivals such as Houghton, Convenanza, 4GB and Mira.

Building a sonic narrative on the fringes of techno, driven by a sense of mystery and character that remains entirely her own, Fantastic Twins live performances launch minds and bodies into space with a story that evolves in each setting, waves of rave tension breaking with blissful release. Here, Dessagne’s own vocals act as an organic anchor amid a truly live set that acts as a continuation of the cultures of Kosmische, pure techno and contemporary psychedelia.

With a background in performance since a young age, Dessagne is also known for her scores for contemporary dance. Her first album, ‘Obakodomo’, was the soundtrack for a contemporary dance piece for children, a playful metaphor for how to learn to live together and share resources, composed as a subtle riposte to the notion that children’s music has to be “childish”. Dessagne is currently working on another composition for performance to be released later in 2023, furthering a back catalogue that has spanned scores for fashion shows, film and documentary features.

Following a decade of releases on labels such as Optimo Music, Hippie Dance and Kompakt, 2023 also saw the launch of House of Slessor, an imprint and label founded by Dessagne with the specific intent of releasing her own material. The label is the home of ‘Two Is Not A Number’, Dessagne’s album exploring the entwined lives and fates of Fantastic Twins, a metaphor for our own psyche, our inner conflicts, and our relationship to others and otherness.

LES YEUX FERMÉS : FANTASTIC TWINS - 23 Octobre 2023

A long time coming, the third and last installment of NHJ's "No, I" mix series. 
6 years on and our protagonist is still paying the mortgage… along with child support and now victim restitution, stemming from an unhappy ‚ misunderstanding’ whilst waiting for a Żabka hotdog.

NO, I? 3  ||  2023

Making some good resolutions for the year ahead: taking things in a slightly different direction for now, yet keeping inline with the vision that holds everything together. Tripped out sounds of today dubbing those of the past through a new echo chamber... Getting in gear with a steady pace ready to move forward into the unknown and uncover all the new things to come. When you get to the bottom it's always easier to come back on top, it all depends on how you look at things or how you hear them and act up!

mix#1//Ean - Pauli Exclusion Principle

@SolarSF and @Mozhgan have been kind enough to let us upload their barnstormer of a set from The Island, and by gum this one’s a humdinger. 

For those of you who live under rocks, Solar and Mozhgan popped over from San Francisco to give Bristol’s best venue a proper talking to - and a proper talking to they indeed gave it. The duo took us through selections of punk-laced EBM, futurist minimal synth, headbang techno and old-school acid drivers, solidifying their status as our favourite Bay Area couple! 

As a mix, it is unpredictable, obscure and diverse, but without meandering from a central theme of dark, moody, fun-as-fuck party slammers (DJ Bigos hit us up) - we feel incredibly blessed to have been able to host these two and add this to our humble little series.

Not to mention preserving one of our favourite parties, and some fond memories with 2 of our favourite guests!

Recorded live at The Island, Bristol, 31st January 2020.
