The Fig and the Geese: A really short story

In the heart of the Australian outback, a seasoned Fig took to the grill (CDJs), expertly preparing a mix for a few eager geese. 

As the savory aroma of bops and bangers filled the air, he cranked up the volume on his decks, blasting out relentless warpers and heavy bass loaded tracks, setting the perfect soundtrack for an hour of 140 indulgence and filthy tunes that will get your body moving.

Fig. ( @f_ig ) presents the twenty-eighth instalment of Dart Echo’s mix series.

Brooding percussive textures build into heady oddball techno before giving way to skittish broken beats and deep dubstep stylings. The Melbourne-based artist then traverses low-end bass pressure, glittering ambient techno, and everything in between.

A two-hour soundscape for body and for mind. Immerse and enjoy.

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.
