Dart Echo Mix #014 - Endorfin

CXVII - endorfin

Kim Dorfman landed herself the DJ name ‘Endorfin’ as a witty pun on her full name, but more fittingly, because of her love of playing music that releases endorphins in her listeners. Her contagious energy behind the decks paired with her delectable track selection delivers a guaranteed endorphin rush to dancers and listeners alike. This is no different in her Novelcast mix as she takes us on a journey filled with high-energy trance and techno-heavy tracks that showcase both local and international talent spanning across decades.

#011 – Japan (with Endorfin)

Dart Echo's mix series kicks off with Rings Around Saturn (@rdjm0). Notorious for idiosyncrasy, experimentation, and a wide breadth of taste and knowledge, Rory McPike's 2020 releases saw him jump from fizzing electro on Pure Space to low-ride, dubbed-out bass on Modern Hypnosis. 

His Dart Echo mix is evidence that no genre is safe from the Melbourne stalwart: the journey paces beautifully through the bubbling groove of tech and deep-house with highlights from Galcher Lustwerk and Loraine James and Le3 bLACK. Cognisant of the global predicament, McPike expertly expresses how we're feeling, delivering a mix equally apt for a socially-bubbled lounge-room boogie or a solitary plunge into headphone-headspace.

Dart Echo Mix #001 - Rings Around Saturn

Qi M0N0 (@qi-mono) arrives with an assiduous selection of rolling left-field sounds with a particular focus on mid-tempo tracks with vocal oddities.

Dart Echo Mix #002 - Qi M0N0

RUPA (@rupa_anurendra) follows with a superb mix of well-rounded electro and modern breaks, beginning gently before cranking the heat up with belters from the likes of Rudolf C and Ex-Terrestrial.

Dart Echo Mix #003 - RUPA

Lily July (@lylyjuly) jumps into the high gears of DnB before weaving an immaculate blend of contrasting tones and sounds that gradually cools down in the second half, all picked out by an ear that is evidently far reaching and curious.

Dart Echo Mix #004 - Lily July

Lara K (@l_arak) smears the lines of conventional mixing by expertly selecting a non-linear myriad of sounds and feelings, leaping from serious head-bangers to more contemplative and wandering tones.

Dart Echo Mix #005 - Lara K

Dart Echo continues to explore sounds emerging from circuitry, orchestrated in pure or hybrid forms by genius, and always affecting people, whether alone or with others, viscerally, cerebrally or both. Recalling analogue sound’s definition, our releases are infinitely variable in nature.
