Dart Echo Mix Series

Mixes (Dr CG & MG)

OF25

In this day and age of social media and career DJs, Dr Chicken Gristle is that rare type of creative that is hard to find: a producer who relishes the moment and let whatever ideas come forth flow like a fountain. He wields his creativity like a sword, unconcerned about what stands in his way as he chops his way to victory. As soon as you think you have him figured out, he'll drop an inspired bomb that is hard to ignore. Filled with WTF moments, his recent 'FLOATING AS A LIFELESS VESSEL SUSPENDED IN THE AIR' EP is a proud testament of a very provocative producer. Left turns and sudden movements might be a trademark of his work, but don't be scared away. His gristly chicken centre contains the beating heart of a mischievous raver, someone who knows that dance music shouldn't be the serious business it has become. And as you lose yourself in his excellent 90 minute Form mix, hopefully, you too will remember that life doesn't have to be the serious business we find ourselves in.

Mick Gristle - 3 August 2022

Mr. Gristle graces the Dart Echo mix series with an impeccably refined selection of leftfield ambiance and electronics. @gristletv 's patient hand deftly crafts the first half, before gradually stirring and moving into familiar dancefloor ranges.

Introducing Bichue: the minds behind our 24th oblicast and newly appointed Oblique residents 🤝

Bichue are young guns Josh and Kallan from Eora/Sydney. With a taste well beyond their years and a growing collection of their unique underground flavour, these lads are just getting started. 

Taking to the oblique wheels for their first ever poddy, get stuck in to hear why we rate them so highly (and keep a firm eye on their rise!) 📈

Oslo trance outfit Accelerationism is the brainchild of Marius Bø & Teo Bachs, whose trippy, high-energy sounds were born back in 2017 as a series of open-air woodland raves. The Norwegian duo are co-founders of the Ute Collective, an umbrella sobriquet spearheading their current charge alongside other artists with forest gathering division Uteklubb and imprint Ute.Rec (and sublabels Sinensis and Translusid for a deeper dive into ambient-, hardtrance as well as Goa). The pair are even known to distribute their music as mix CDs from time to time, an appropriately authentic and tangible format for a 90s sound having such a profound resurgence in a world dominated by digital media. There’s clearly a lot on their plate, and that’s maybe not so surprising: the same passion the duo pours into their many projects is manifested by a diligent and lightning-fast brand of trance - this rabble-rousing duo has energy in abundance. Bassiani Podcast 175 channels Marius and Teo’s firebrand spirit and clandestine forest gatherings with emotive nostalgia as well as fresh and radical optimism. This mix consists of unreleased nordic trance for a dazzling and uncertain future.

BTS w. Bex Episode - 14 March 2025

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.
