LOIF at Dripping 2024

subglow/live returns with a special recording from @beatricemasters & @bambi-dj, two of the best in the game right now. A special closing set between friends - in Bea's words:

"This mix was closing Supercamp festival’s last ever edition, from 6 to 8pm on a sunday. Therefore we thought we do a reverse journey of intensity, starting with 140 pressure taking our time to slow all the way down to 120 during the 2hours - hitting 130 with mellow dub techno cuts or classic-feel ukg, and ending with a series of (very) warm closing tracks upon closing tracks. You’ll know by now that Bambi and Beatrice M. are pretty different in their approach to DJing, which makes it all the more interesting and fun for them to find the lovely middle ground they pleasantly settle in during their b2bs. For this one, the key word is: dub. »

LOIF works at the vanguard of the new Naarm/Melbourne sound. Through meticulously detailed production, raucous DJing, and boundary-pushing live sets, LOIF dissolves genre boundaries to spawn a shapeshifting sonic organism that is entirely his own.

After a brief hiatus, we're back with episode 38 of our mix series from Nantes based DJ and Macadam's Artistic Programmer Aasana. A beautifully organic 2 hour mix exploring an unconscious inner power, traversing ambient, breaks, techno and DnB.

For several months now, I have been taking the time to explore Clarissa Pinkola Estés’ book Women Who Run with the Wolves. She specifically discusses the notion of Rio Abajo Rio, the River beneath the river, which echoes the depths of the unconscious and the instinctive wisdom that flows within us, even when we are unaware of it. She uses this metaphor to illustrate the primal life force and feminine intuition that exist beneath the surface of our daily lives.
This underground river symbolizes natural instincts, ancestral knowledge, and creativity that continue to flow within us, even when they are sometimes stifled by social or personal pressures. A book that is both inspiring and unsettling, as it deeply resonates with my life’s quest today.

This set is a search for reconnection with Rio Abajo Rio, a journey toward my purest and deepest essence—my inner power—in order to reclaim my intuitive nature.

From a purely aesthetic perspective, this set is woven with Ambient, Techno, Breaks, Abstract, and D’n’B sounds, all tied together by a percussive and organic universe.

"I have been immersed in music since I was a child. My parents were involved in the Hard Rock scene. On my mother’s side, part of my family is from Brittany, so Breton music also played a big role in my childhood.

When I was old enough to go out, I dived into so many different scenes—Tribe, Hardcore, and Trance through Raves and Free Parties, Techno to House, Dubstep to D’n’B through clubs and festivals, Dub, Experimental Music, Noise, Ambient, Punk through alternative spaces and squats. This opened countless doors for me, leading to interconnected musical worlds.

Later, my job at Macadam also broadened my musical perspective, thanks to its artistic direction. That's why I generally need to move between different musical styles. My musical approach is entirely based on my feelings, emotions, moods, and, of course, the connection with the crowd when I play.

This is also why I love b2b sets—they push me out of my comfort zone and allow me to discover even more.

Tangerine at pe:rsona 2024

Another lovely memoir of friendship here with the ever talented Swiss artist phrex, who works under various aliases, including @seduction-dream-dust, with Animix #174. Juj is a beautiful person inside and out and his musical outputs are a reflection of his multifaceted character - often referencing his middle eastern heritage. In his animix, a wild dnb speed journey, filled with adventure and emotion, awaits.

Beyond political and social nods, phrex has an inredible ability to merge genres and styles in a way that remains seemingly fresh and unique - which, in 2025,  is harder and harder to come by. We originally met at random, as I strolled past a stage whilst he was playing an ambient set at Waking Life in 2022. The self-made remix of "Alone" by Olive he was playing drew me in and led me to ask for an ID. in return, he gifted me a cassette of the song. A beautiful memory of music exchange and friendship, and i'm really happy to finally have him in the series.

Lots of love - thank you Juj!
