Emilis Kičiatovas relit his fire for music a year ago when he settled at Nida's "Saulės baras" beach bar. A lifelong on and off relationship with the art got anchored in the brightest of Lithuania's places in a way that you can feel Nida's waves, wind, and sand in Emilis' selection.

It is there that Emilis hosted names from the fruitful local scene like Akvilina, Jaroška, John Patter, Koneliunas, Shkema, Tadas Kani, among others.

Mixing Balearic with House, Krautrock, and darker club sounds, Emilis gets the audience in shape for the starry skies and open-air events in the summer resort. His flow is in there to help the dance and the booze, never naive and always surprising. And just like the irresistible summers in Nida, this selection is warming the bones and there to accompany the unforgettable flirt stories you'll carry back home.

During wintertime, Emilis is stationed in Vilnius, where he joins the infamous scene from the capital.

In his LAYER mix, Emilis shows his seductive side and transports you to Nida in a blink of an eye.

On the very first Festival day of Horst Arts & Music Festival 2022, Australian duo Sleep D galvanized the Hovering Caress Amère stage with a mind-altering live set. Surrouned by a flock of devoted early ravers, the Butter Sessions founders made it crystal clear why they are at the very front of the progressive house and techno revival. Fast-paced rhythms, refind drum programming and alleviating melodies, all tied together with profound technical finesse.

With what was mostly a full and fruitful year for us with many beautiful moments, we now turn our eyes forward to what is looking to be a very exciting year for us at Phonica as we walk into our 20th year of being alive. 2022 saw our mix series get even more killer contributions from artists like Paramida, Sally C, Fred P, Eden Burns, Alex Kassian, Erol Alkan and more. 2023's series line up plans to keep moving up and we have opened this years mix season in the capable hands of two of the finest DJ/Producers doing it right now. Bringing nothing but powerful, euphoric and goddess energies it can only be Octo Octa and Eris Drew of T4T Luv NRG. Amazingly celebrated for their strand of psychedelic, rolling progressive, trancey-house and break rhythms we can't think of two better selector's to take on our series. With an excellently curated compilation and mix for our good friends at Fabric last year as well as two banging cassettes on T4T we can't begin to imagine what this year has in-store for Maya and Eris but we have no doubt it's even more on the upward trajectory! Most likely to the heavens and back! We had a chat with Maya and Eris to see what they have been up to lately and little about how they approached the mix.

Effervescent club cuts from one of Southeast Asia's rising DJ stars.

In Indonesia, the term santai (relaxed) is more than just an adjective—it's a lifestyle, one endearingly embodied by DITA. The New Delhi-born, Bali-rooted DJ's breezy attitude to life is reflected in dreamy, blissful euphoria.

DITA's RA Podcast is a window into both her disposition and sound, blending wiggly breakbeat into tweaking acid, Detroit house into Spanish electro, Balearic to '90s house and some grittier club fare, too. Her sets are rooted in a feel-good philosophy that allows her to freely play with energy and mood.

Don't just take our word for it: DJ Harvey hand-picked DITA to be a resident at his new club Klymax, nestled within the world-renowned Potato Head Bali, where DITA is also Head of Music. With gigs at everywhere from Panorama Bar (the first Indonesian woman to play) to Rainbow Disco Club and Dekmantel under her belt, the world is now taking notice of DITA's killer groove. A breakout 2025 surely beckons.

MARICAS n.78 - Daisy Moon

Jennifer Loveless steps up to the Phonica mix with a charged hour of sculpted house — poised between deep groove and melodic resonance. 
Born in Toronto and musically forged in Melbourne, she relocated to Australia in 2012 and quickly became a central figure in the country's underground electronic scene. Now based in Berlin, her fluid DJ style — steeped in queer dancefloor energy and late-night catharsis — has lit up some of the world’s most respected booths, from Panorama Bar and De School to Body Movements, Maricas/Mxricas, and Boiler Room’s Discwoman showcase in Sydney.
As a producer, her discography speaks in rhythms both personal and expansive. The debut Hard/Soft (Pure Space, 2020) blended meditative percussion and fragmented spoken word; 1.5m (Planet Euphorique) offered a pandemic-era pulse of emotional urgency. In 2021, the Water EP (Butter Sessions) landed with immersive, club-primed textures and was hailed by Resident Advisor as “career-defining.” Its 2022 follow-up Around the World expanded that sound with driving drums and psychedelic tones — its standout tracks appearing in DJ sets by Jayda G, D. Tiffany, and more.
Loveless’s mix here flows like her best sets: deep, intuitive, and full of movement. Sensual grooves fold into one another — not showy, just sharp. A warm, high-fidelity hour from a DJ who knows how to guide the floor from dusk to afterglow. We had a brief chat with Jennifer about the mix and what she has coming up:
