Such an amazing mix! Want literally all of these ids 😅

Frond aka Sophie is a South East London based DJ/producer and one of the co-founders of the Pollination collective who run a label, put on parties, curate a mix series and organise community projects. We stumbled upon her last year and have been enjoying a bunch of her mixes for CommaCast, On Rotation, Planète Noire and Fuaim. Her sets are peppered with influences of early trance, techno, and 00's prog, building tension, keeping you engaged and demonstrating an ear for storytelling. 

So, here with 010 is FROND

It is with great joy that we introduce the next instalment of the Shared Frequency series with the France based dancefloor enchanter, Bambi. 
*
With residencies at Macadam, Hypersoft and Rinse France, it is clear that Bambi is fast becoming a force of nature, with the ability to summon a lightning storm, whirl pool, or warm sunshine with her versatile selections. 
*
In this mix we are taken on a journey in to the smooth and alluring reservoirs of Bambi's music taste, a perfect storyline to get in a field, lay down and surrender to the enchantment to.

The seventh instalment of Virtual Utopia is a 68-minute trip through the known (and unknown) cosmos; piloted by London-based 'Mademoisel'. A high speed pursuit which turn supermassive stars into needles of momentary light that disappear behind you almost instantly. A mix of driving space-trance and globular rollers, which will communicate more to the 'others' than any signal from the electromagnetic spectrum ever could.

Accelerating through chromatic corridors of a blurred existence, eventually you reach an open expanse of neuron-like structures. Electrical currents whirr and glow overhead as you travel at steady speed through the network of fibres; 'Where am I?' 'Am I inside the human brain?' 'Is this the structure of the universe?'

Travelling onward into the depths of space as paint-flicked stars decorate the distance; the interconnectedness of everything 'out there' accentuates the correlations and similarities between our universe and consciousness. Exploring the cosmos does really emphasise the concept of a macro/micro-cosm.

You program the machine to a much higher speed (2.2x10^7), the engines give a deep, metallic growl and the throttle propels you backward. This vessel is optimised for entering warp speed and maintaining stability.  Through the darkness and scattered lights, planets of various colours and conditions rip past you and remind you of your tremendous velocity. This is a voyage through the expanse of our existence; to explore the rocks, gases, lights and vibrations that made us what we are.

Various refuelling stations are set between the tunnels of assisted acceleration, which connect all districts of the nebula you're in now. They are of a clinical, utopian aesthetic of perfect white and frosted glass, warped reflections of panel lighting reflect from the chrome of the other docked vehicles. Once the robotic assistant has completed it's process, you undock and proceed the expedition.

You max out every dial on the control panel of the vessel; halos of light flicker around you as steadily  increasing g-force keeps you firmly in your seat. As you pass the speed of light, pulsations of energy shiver through you as  your past visions and memories bleed into your peripheral. 'Is this the sensation of going back in time?'
At this velocity, the boundaries between dimensions dissolve and you hear the abstract conversation of incomprehensible 'beings'. 'Who are they?'

Maintaining this speed you reach an end-point; of what only can be described as the 'Mirror of Existence', where a spirit of yourself is looking back at you. A conscious duplicate 'clone' stares inquisitively and reaches out their hand.
'Is this me?' 'Or is this another me?' At some point this universal version must cease and another parallel begin, perhaps you have found it...

Virtual Utopia 07: Mademoisel

Mixed and compiled by @seanhorlyck - A shift through different states of haze and fog from warm and cosy downtempo to halftime ambient laced with driving basslines, polyrhythmic swagger and propulsive drum patterns. Think deep, dub-tech, jungle infused IDM that makes you nod that head and wiggle those hips.

It’s springtime in the southern hemisphere and today we’re celebrating it with a mix from London-based DJ, Anna Rose (aka ANNX). 

We’ve been admiring Anna’s mixes for some time - her flawless mixing and the relentless collection of the best progressive & psytrance. We’re lucky enough to be able to share a recording of her set from this year’s Above Below Festival in Chiltern Hills in the UK. Anna played 7-9pm on The Beacon stage, and woweee it’s making us wish we were there to witness this set as the sun went down. 

Thank you Annx for gifting us this mix ❤️

Here is our recording of our three hour vinylset at Zentralwaescherei Zuerich right after christmas. 
We felt a warm resonance from the crowd and really enjoyed the whole ride. 

It's probably one of our favorite sets by date as it reflects records that have been in our collection for quite a long time and didn’t got played yet including some that just have a very high personal value for us.

@Zentralwaescherei is a sick venue really providing a safespace for all human kind.
Such an environment needs to be supported and is of high value, we are glad that there are so many enthusiastic and kind people behind it!
We wish you all a happy new year and our minds are with all the people who aren't save right now.

Peace and enjoy.
