DDR 016: Greer

Since jumping on the tools a year ago, Greer has fast become a mainstay in the Meanjin dance music community. From supporting legends such as DJ Plead, DjRum, Crush3D & Swim, working with Synesthesia on local radio station 4zzz, and creating an ambient focused meditative series called ‘Take Care.’ Greer has carved out a path and is running full steam ahead.

Their usb is a juicy dégustation of gentle ambient soundscapes, disjointed breaks and experimental drum rhythms. Greer’s goal behind every selection is to take you on a journey full of tender love and care while leaving you in a hypnotic state, locked to the dance floor.

The intention of this mix is to guide one down the path of introspection and exploration. This mix fluctuates between slow moving pieces and more club-centric sounds all in an effort to play around with what sounds we tend to deem as “meditative.” Some find zen alone in their bedroom, some find it surrounded by bodies on the dancefloor - I hope to balance these journeys as this mix moves between slow and fast, gentle and experimental, light and dark.

I moved to Naarm/Melbourne earlier this year and it has made me realise how unbelievably lucky I am to live here in “Australia”. From the natural landscapes of this country to the amount of gifted homies I come in contact with almost everyday, I’m in a constant state of awe. Artists like Zara, OK EG, Tangerine & Gi have me bursting at the seams with excitement for the sounds coming out of this place.

Take Care was created in 2022, birthed from my new found love for gentle ambient/downtempo. A meditative mix (and later turned event) series focused around self and community care. It was made to be a sort of ‘digital destination’, a one-stop-shop of ambient soundscapes to help find stillness, cultivate growth and realign with what it means to be alive.

One that takes the cake right now would have to be a two day party called Absorbed. The line up was majority local/Aus talent and incredibly diverse in sound - yet it all flowed beautifully! From live acts to djs to bands, oh man I just had the best time!

This may be a bit clique, but my favourite experience so far would be NYE of 2023 at a dear homies house party. It was open decks and my friend Rilie and I ended up getting on and just playing the most ridiculous throwbacks, while our friend Rob got people to sing along on a mic we found. I started DJ’ing as a means to have fun with my homies and at that moment, it all came together in a beautiful celebration.
