SOFT.spot.1  

[DYAD]

Wings of D’sire is the sonic bi-product of the friendship between party-enjoyers / closed-eyed dancers / Gadigal-based DJs Maria Wang @dgradeknockoff and Liam Taylor @wiiingnut. Inspired by a spectrum of frenetic, bossy and beautiful sounds, Wings of D’sire pursue the margins of dance music as they navigate us through boisterous and emotive waves of sub-bass.

This is a re-recording of their monumental set at Soft Centre 2023. Originally recorded at Carriageworks on Gadigal land.

MEZZANINE : III 𝘋-𝘎𝘳𝘢𝘥𝘦

Killian and D-Grade mixed live on FBi Radio 06.10.24

Full episode + tracklist: https://www.fbi.radio/programs/m5/episodes/m5-6th-october-2024

D-Grade is a DJ and organiser based on Gadigal land, in Sydney Australia. They present ‘serious’ music with cheek, quirk and unpredictability and love to playfully toy at the margins between ‘mind’ and ‘body’ music. D-Grade enjoys frenetic, bossy and beautiful sounds. They’re partial to a good baseline, gritty drums, a gloomy vocal or gaudy guitar riffs. They sometimes appear as Wings of D’sire with good-friend-and-close-collaborator Wingnut, with whom they also put on intermittent, often-elusive boof functions.

“eyes closed and channel open
an insight into what’s inside
something magikal, something immaterial
finding form through figments of
imagining, making, moving
through subconscious conjuring
we gently tend to what can’t be known
and yet is always felt within”

— excerpts from my dear friend Imbar Amira Nassi’s text-message musings on ’dreamgarden’
