Introduce yourself? Pronouns?  1 fun fact about yourself?

Hiii I’m Kia, (people often ask me what my real name is so I thought I’d specify that). Pronouns are she/her. 

Fun fact - my name is a car dealership (Kia Sydney), and people often think that’s a joke too. My Croatian grandfather changed his last name to Sydney when he moved there in the 50s as a means of getting a job in what was a very (and still for the most part is) racist society. 

Biggest musical influence from childhood?

Well when I was going up I played the piano, clarinet and percussion (played the glockenspiel in the school band lol) so that definitely led me to be musically minded from a young age. When I was 13/14 I remember getting into electronic music via big idm producers like aphex twin, four tet and aleksi perala. Because I was into really melodic stuff I think it was the first time I’d heard it done in an electronic way and I remember finding that really exciting. 

Favorite DJ mixing trick? 

Cobblestone jazz - India in me. It’s not particularly easy to mix per say, but it’s an insane 14 minute roller that completely shifts vibe in the middle, so I always play it if I feel like I need a breather or an energy shift in a set.

Write us a haiku about this mix… 

Sounds of travelling
Australia and beyond
People, places, moods

(Sorry that was really hard lol)

If you had to go back in time music wise what era would it be and why?

Early 2000s. So much good tech house. 

If you had to describe yourself as a flower, which one would it be and why?

Sunflower. I flourish in the summertime and I really really hate winter. 

What is your favorite party/collective where you reside and why?

Vortex <3 (https://soundcloud.app.goo.gl/Bi3dZPdKhT2QCHmC7 )

femme collective consisting of my friends Meg + nenagh, who book the best lineups. We also do a collab party animalia x vortex and the parties always have a really special energy. 

What would you like to see in the future for the dance community?

More community run clubs and more people who listen and participate in the scene understanding the importance of community in dance music generally.

#98 calls for a special appearance by my dear friend, and very talented dj/ creator @voxsupreme. Lounes and I met on the beach at waking life festival in 2019 and have been friends ever since, now having done two ambient b2bs, at ADE in Amsterdam in 2019, and then coming full circle, we met at waking life 2022 for our second b2b. 

I consider him a master of all things ambient and electronica.. constanty impressed by the music he shares and plays. Clearly though, his dj'ing doesn't stop at ambient, with a crazy diversity of styles .. from dubstep and dnb to electro, breaks, techno and everything in between. 

Lounes is the man behind the ethereal dreamworld that is @traumgarten - a special collective focused on downtempo/experimental music and events. I'm always so impressed by the love, thought and creativity that goes into his events, alongside his partner Marinka who often contributes too.

Lots of love Lounes and so happy to finally have you as part of the series! <3

I am super excited to present the next @deepmindmusic_ mix, a special edition crafted by Australia's @pjenne. A DJ with an intuitive ear, Pjenné's mixes have always made a deep impression on me, through her thoughtful track selection, immersive world-building and clear narrative arcs – and her mix for Deep Mind Music is no different 🤍

I experienced this mix as one fluid motion: through the course of an hour we billow outwards, and drift inwards, in pulsating undulations. As the rolling waves of circular rhythms, dub techno and fluttering wisps floated through me, I felt as if I had become one with a towering cumulonimbus, expanding and contracting as I drifted across a pristine sky ☁️🦋💠

Pjenné has managed to strike a subtle balance between quiet softness and infinite depth in this beautiful and evocative journey, taking us deep into the beyond. The mix ends with an ascension to a bright and delicate twinkling, like a sparkling sunset on the sea, and we're left feeling warm, pensive and peaceful 🔆🌥️🕊️

Some words from Pjenné about the mix: 

I was inspired by a sound I used to be particularly into during my formative years – I remember buying the Deepchord Silent World double LP at Spacehall in Berlin during my first overseas trip. It was long, long before I was a DJ, and I was too scared to play any records in-store, as I didn't really know how turntables worked, and had no idea how record stores functioned. Although I bagged that winner of a record (which I still own and play today a decade later) I also remember accidentally buying some sampling records that I had absolutely no use for... Can't say it was the most inviting place back then...

Anyway, although the mix was inspired by that sound, it ended up completely different during the process of putting it together. Of course, I had to weave in some form of uplifting resolve by the end.

Introduce yourself? Pronouns? Where do you currently reside? 

Ello, I’m Jackson. Pronouns are He/Him. Residing in Eora/Sydney

Who/what currently inspires you music-wise that has nothing to do with music?

Water and light mostly 

What is your favorite party/collective where you reside and why?

Too many faves. Some heavy hitters off the top are Umami/Echo Flats/Heavenly/Community Chest. They are %100 in it for the experience. Community Chest is a joint force crew of about 7 great crews from Sydney – It’s kinda like when the power rangers come together to make that big robot fighter guy

What was your best moment at the supermarket?

They were playing Bill Withers in a Woollies once and it got me

What is your most recent favorite DJ mix and why?

Max D – Indie Rock on C- was maybe the last one that got me good. Max D only plays by Max D’s rules

Any advice to upcoming DJs/producers? 

Enjoy your life & be kind to others

What would you like to see in the future for the dance community?

More love and respect, always

One Off w/ Zara (16/02/23)

With purest delight, I'm so excited to welcome Pjenné of Passing Notes Radio & Companion (@companionmelb) for the latest episode in our series. Penny's curatorial expertise and long-standing dedication to the Naarm/Melbourne scene have established her as a pillar of the city's sonic landscape, and both her love of musical discovery and unmistakable influence are felt deeply from afar. 

Pjenné's mix is a enchanting trip through fields of wonder, equal parts honey and gossamer, moving and blissfully sublime. Tender hues paint the air while fervent warmth fills the aching heart. There are few selectors out there with a repertoire as consistently profound as Penny's, and yet one feels we've barely scratched the surface of what's to come. Thank you Penny!
