017 Daniel Pisano

Nearly 4 hours of being so smooth it's slippery. The fun kind of slippery. Sliding you downtempo into Boogie, slowly burning you through streets of Soul, touching you like only RNB can. 

Put down that ruler in your hand, because this mix from Daniel Pisano, we assure you, is very good measure. 

Recorded live @Waxflowerbar

The Wonderful World of Froff Ep 4 - Dawn Again @ Hope St Radio 3/6/23

‘For home use only’ is an anti-club social, a chance to get to know someone/something. A series of transmissions purely dedicated to exploring the other side.

The unofficial mayor of Naarm aka Dawn Again brings us a gift from above, a three hour stopover filled to the brim with the deepest of chill core cuts and mind-bending principles. The literal embodiment of the soundtrack to spring. This is made for the sun. Slip, slop, slurrrrrp. Xo

FHUO # 89 // Dawn Again

Our next mix is a pure gift in the form of a b2b from two of very well respected DJs based in Naarm, Toni Yotzi and Dawn Again.

Recorded live at Spincycle's party at Killing Time on 21 May this year, this set dives deep into the wonkiest corners of tech house for 2.5 hours.

Having just started their own party series, Dawn Sports, we can't wait to see what these two have in store for the future!

Thanks Jo and Nick for this mix :)

Rotations 36: Toni Yotzi & Dawn Again (Live at Spincycle 21.05.23)

As we round out our 20s, the last instalment of this fine decade is help by two of Melbourne's household names. Not just for their bestowed banter and bald heads, Nick Saw & Dawn Again have been making waves in Naarm since before Kelly Slater won his first world title. 

Enjoy this one whilst you get moving, coming at ya live from their set at When Pigs Fly, NYE 2023. Make sure to check out DA's inaugural EP 'Every Dog's Hotel', out now on Hell Yeah Recordings and Nick's recent endeavours with Gazebo Records!

“Not sure if you remember the record label 'The Balearic Sounds of …' and they would select an artist and re-release their most “balearic” cuts. So like Lucio Battisti, Fleetwood Mac, Crosby Stills & Nash etc etc. Artists that might be considered “pop” or “rock” but have a few island time heaters stashed in the back catalogue. It really opened my eyes to the fact that balearic music is a vibe moreso than a genre. This mix is a little bit of that, and a lot of the fact that I’ve always wanted to do a soft, dad rock, strummy guitar mix. Got some new, some old, some ambient, some sing-a-long. Even ventures away from the beach aesthetic and more into the untapped balearic landscape of cattle farms and dusty bush roads. Probably sounds best with your feet up on your back verandah, fresh VB stubby in hand, admiring the handiwork you’ve just bestowed on your lawn. Maybe with the barbie warming up…”

Dubwise dreams and groovy percussive house with the low end dwelling Moonshoe producer @angusmills

Q. What can you tell us about the mix?

A. Thanks so much for having me on the series, I've been a big fan for over a decade now 🙂 So the mix has been curated with my interpretation of the MDC spirit in the front of my mind. I’ve loved how so many mixes over the years have danced thoughtfully between home listening and warm fictional dancefloor settings. I wanted the music to reflect some of the sounds and feelings that I love and which you’ve touched upon in your next question. Hopefully the music translates back to the listener in whichever setting they happen to be in. Recently I’ve been listening back to the mix at home while standing in our light filled kitchen making dinner, looking over at our whippet Olive while she snores on her bed. 

Some of my favourite tracks in the mix include Erzulie (Temple Dub Mix) by Mind Over Rhythm from 1992, Tranquillity by Bamboo Curtain, Nick Kelly’s Track – Dew U Feel Me from Trip ‘N Spin Recordings from San Francisco and the track I close out the mix with is a song that really resonates strongly with me, Soundtrack to a Dying by Phil Western. 

Q. You’ve clearly got a real appreciation for deep hypnotic rhythms, tell us about how you became entrenched in this sound, and how long had you been refining things before your debut Moonshoe release came out?

A. Thanks Myles, that’s very kind of you to say. Yeah, I’m pleased with how that release turned out and am just starting to get back to writing some new music again after a busy work period which feels exciting. Shoutout to Jackson as well who heard a couple of early iterations of those tunes and decided to take a risk on working towards a release for me, couldn’t have imagined a better home for the music than Moonshoe.

I’ve been producing music since the start of 2011 and released some stuff under a few different monikers over the years but wasn’t completely confident with my productions until about 2020. I started studying architecture in 2018 and during the degree, didn’t really have much capacity to work on my own music. I was still heavily listening to music throughout the degree and found that having a break from producing during this time helped me to relearn to love making music again. Perhaps there was something about shifting some creative energy away from music for a period?

Q. On your Moonshoe affiliations, I know you have been working with the label for a little while now, tell us about that experience and what have you got in the works?

A. Yes so, Jackson/ Cousin and I have known one another for a while now through going out to parties around Sydney, I used to go and see him and Brad play a lot around town. He met my partner Claudia years back before we’d even started dating and funnily enough, she suggested that we’d probably get along well. I was sending Jackson a bit of music around 2018/2019 and one of the tracks, Transient ended up coming out on the second Limbs compilation, From Inside Out. Jackson ended up getting a job at Sydney University with me in the AV team which hilariously employs many creatives from the Sydney music scene, and we just started hanging out more and regularly grab lunch together. One thing led to another, and he started helping me put Alva together, doing an excellent job of A&R, giving me regular feedback and suggestions for improving the music. I was also giving him some feedback on his own releases for some other labels, which kind of shifted organically into helping him narrow down some music for his upcoming EP on Moonshoe ‘Wake the Town’ which is a 6 tracker coming out in the next couple of months. In the meantime, Cousin has some individual tunes that didn’t quite make the EP coming out through the Moonshoe bandcamp over the next couple of months which I’ve done some mastering work on. Definitely keep watching this space for music coming out on Moonshoe over the course of next year!

Emma B - HÖR Berlin April 2025

Ich weiß nicht, wann genau es angefangen hat. Vielleicht war es dieser erste flirrende Ton, kaum greifbar, fast wie ein Gedanke, der durch einen halbdunklen Raum schwebt. Société - Pale Drifter, sagt mir jemand neben mir. Alles ist noch weich, langsam, organisch. Kein Beat, nur Andeutung. Ich spüre, wie sich etwas aufbaut. 

Dann - plötzlich - der erste Kick. Dezent, aber unübersehbar. Etwas in mir richtet sich auf. Ich merke: Ich bin angekommen.
Der Raum lebt. Die Musik beginnt zu wechseln - nicht abrupt, eher wie ein Strom, der die Richtung ändert. Dub schleicht sich ein, und mit ihm dieser reduzierte Groove, der mehr fragt als antwortet. 
Und dann: Brass Destruction - laut, mutig, völlig ungeniert. 

Es ist dieser Moment, in dem etwas kippt. Die Zurückhaltung fällt, die Energie wird anders. Körperlicher. Der Groove packt uns - nicht aggressiv, eher verspielt, mit einem Hauch Wahnsinn.
Als Static Rhythm: Control kommt, wird es ernst. Die Drums sind härter, schärfer. Mein Körper folgt, ohne zu fragen. Ich tanze jetzt nicht mehr, ich reagiere. Der Dancefloor ist keine Fläche mehr, sondern etwas, das pulsiert und mich mitnimmt.

Und dann - der Bruch. Kein harter Cut, aber ein Aufatmen. House. Klassisch. Akkorde wie Lichtstrahlen, Vocals wie Umarmungen. Ich erkenne die Stimme sofort - Deborah Cox. Ihre Wärme trifft mich unerwartet tief. Plötzlich ist all das hier nicht mehr nur Musik, sondern Erinnerung.

Als der letzte Ton verklingt, bleibe ich kurz stehen. Ich schaue mich um - wir alle haben etwas durchquert. Nicht nur ein Set, sondern eine Geschichte. Eine, die zwischen Tiefe und Euphorie pendelte, zwischen innerem Echo und äußerem Rausch.

Ich lächle und gehe langsam raus.
