@edavd is the project of multidisciplinary artist Emmanuel David Monteiro. A deep thinker, E Davd brings a theoretical and conceptual lens to his work - if you listen deeply and with intent, you can begin to understand some of the complex ideas that underscore his music. Process driven and creative, E Davd is not bound by genre, rather working with different patterns, rhythms and approaches to sound to explore his connection to, and barriers to ancestry and heritage. Starting out age nine on the congas, playing Cape Verdean and afro music in his dad’s band, E Davd now uses electronic music to explore his own ideas about black music. Now, he uses techno as a mechanism to explore complex themes such as the nexus of nature and technology, Indigenous technologies and afrofuturism. His radio show and soon to be record label ‘Visions of Utopia’ on Nomad Radio also encapsulate these themes, looking toward a utopian society that is not only equal and free from racial violence, but one in which blackness is privileged.  E Davd uses his guest mix on Passing Notes to present a deep excavation into the internet, himself and afrofuturism - expect a sound collage of original works - finished and ‘unfinished’, samples and snippets from afrofuturism documentary ‘The Last Angel of History’. I had a wonderful time talking with E Davd about afrofuturism, ancestry, blackness, black music and more.

Live recording from when I opened up Angel Music Bar on a Friday night in August. This mix goes from literally the doors opening and then slowly building to a full venue of dancers. Enjoy.

MBq live @ Angel Music Bar - Fri 19th Aug 2022

‘For home use only’ is an anti-club social, a chance to get to know someone/something. A series of transmissions purely dedicated to exploring the other side.

Eighty six comes fresh from the murky depths of Eora, from none other than Command D aka Charles Fester, born of royal blood, professor of mad dubs, and a 4 wheeled aficionado. Saturate your speakers in fat for the next 70 minutes and then fry until crisp. Stone-cold static rhythms, deep-ended depth charges, and echoes beyond space.

Command D - Live on Refuge Worldwide

Currently on tour here in Australia is the lovely, warmhearted Jesse aka Jeku (@jeku_fin), fresh out of Helsinki, Finland - and now based in Paris. 

Jesse and I played together at one of my favourite European spots, Post Bar in Helsinki last year. He's an incredible producer with a great talent for blending trance inspired sounds with a modern twist.- and here he showcases his incredible record collection & dj skills with a mix inline with the same style & class.

Thanks for this one Jesse!

Animix One Hundred & Fifty: Jeku

On point mix for this 21th Episode! We are very happy to present an other side of our musical influences, organic trance. For this, non other then one of the French DJ : Joe Palpite (@jp_chouquette) ! A bit more than an hour exploring the styles around these textures thanks to his versatility, from slow twisted psy-breaks through universal progressive bombs and a beautiful classy uptempo finish. We can’t recommend enough to check out this quiet but unmissable actor of the French scene, who works hard behind the scene helping out promoters from every horizon, while proposing a genuinely unique vision of music.

42nd Avenue, also known as Thijs, hails from Amsterdam and brings us Transmission 17. We first connected with Thijs through mutual friends at no.clubs. He’s a prominent figure in Amsterdam’s underground scene, playing a key role in the creation of nano.clubs, an exceptional (albeit short-lived) venue renowned for its impeccable sound and setup. In addition, Thijs runs his own ad-hoc party, Club Cohesie, which moves between various spaces in Amsterdam. His sets and mixes are hard to categorise, as they seamlessly drift through a variety of styles, and this mix is no exception. A avid vinyl enthusiast, he recorded this mix at home with two turntables and an A&H mixer. Enjoy x

Buttheads chief Martin Gilleshøj rounds off the evening in signature fashion, deep and entrancing. The Proton/Axces boss exhibits a subtle and driven range of musicality tied together expertly by way of a proper selectors touch, for the listener as much as it is for the mover. Big tip.

X-wave boss GTI takes the wheel on Buttheads’ second hour. A swirling hour pairing hypno-techno with strands of tech-trance-esque percussion and roll. Its a sonically complex set that contains multitudes, drawing on a raft of contemporary modes of techno to create a singular, captivating ride. Includes music from Hopdop, Erik Luebs. and Adam Beyer to name a few.
