It's raining and I'm a frog sitting under a leaf drinking ginger tea

Happy new year & gloomy Jan :) with that said we welcome our favorite London based duo, inner zone @inner_zone (Nic & Rupes)for mix 18! 
These two are no strangers to the underground music scene in the UK & beyond. Co founding one of London's most sought out parties & day festivals, Transmissions. Which has organically produced a warm, sophisticated & eclectic energy to our scenes atmosphere, curating promising linup's and some of the best sets we've witnessed. They exceed everything you want from a musical duo with continuous bookings at festival's like Dimensions, Love International and music released on labels such as Space lab & Holding Hands. Were super excited to have them contribute this slow-paced, effortlessly smooth mix created for the deeper, celestial mind...

Cozi questions ...

1.⁠ ⁠How and why did you get into producing / dj’ing?
We started going out in the late 90’s and got hooked on a combination of amazing clubs, killer tunes and even better gary's so buying decks and spinning seemed like a no brainer. Records were cheap, record shops were everywhere. Good times :) 

2.⁠ ⁠Who, What/where was your most coziest gig you've been to or experienced and why?
We played a 4hr ambient set at Nachtdigital festival which was super cozi - we went to the depths whilst everyone was laying around on mattresses and sofas, cuddling in blankets under the stars. It was super special. 

3.⁠ ⁠Do you consider yourself an introvert or extrovert in the scene?
Introverts I guess? There’s enough people making a lot of noise out there, we kind of tick along. We’re happy with our bit :)  

4.⁠ ⁠If you had to choose 1 track to vibe out too forever, what would it be?
Jai-en : Bubble Gum. It’s a stone cold banger and comes to every gig with us. If you see one, buy it! 

5.⁠ ⁠What is your routine when preparing for a gig / production/writing session? Do you have any special remedies/ mental/physical prep/ places to go to? :)
Rupes: I do pretty meticulous preparation, taking vinyl out of sleeves and into plastic cases to protect them and to pack more into the bag. I like a few beers before a gig to settle the nerves. 
Nic: I chaotically throw records around the living room in a panic before the gig and hope for the best. Our friend Adam said watching me prepare for a gig actually gave him anxiety and he had to leave the room. I try and stay sober, I can’t mix after two beers.

For this episode we welcome the extraordinary talents of Aaron J, Brooklyn's Sure Thing record label and podcast founder, known for hosting an immense list of explorative modern techno artists from around the globe. Altering our consciousness for the first time in 2023 with a particularly awe inspiring set at Sustain-Release, Aaron's deeply considered and intricate approach is something of sheer beauty, and coupled with masterful technical ability, his inspiring DJ sets allow for fully immersive dancefloor experiences. 

Here Aaron explores the softer edges of his expansive sound palette, meditative soundscapes and tranquil IDM converging in total harmony for what he describes as a 'recalibration of the senses'.

Q. What sounds or feelings did you draw upon when gathering inspiration for this mix, and what listening environments could you imagine it being best enjoyed in?

A. Of all the mixes I’ve put together over the years, this one definitely feels the most vulnerable. The months I spent thinking about and working on this mix accompanied an intensely busy time in my life, and the process helped me stay in touch with the simple joy of listening as a way of stepping back and letting things go. There is a direct connection here between the music within and the emotions that live inside me. At the same time, I’ve tried my best to mix this as transparently as possible, so that the act of DJing takes a back seat and allows the music to take center stage.

The inspiration behind the tracks I chose and the story of the mix is one of finding balance, so I hope listening to it feels like a casting off of the present day and a recalibration of the senses. I’d love for people to listen to the mix in a setting where they feel most protected from the changes and stressors of the outside world, whether that be sitting outside in nature or laying on a couch surrounded by the comforts of home.

Q. Are there any songs in the mix that you were especially excited to share, and what is it about these tracks that resonate with you so much?

A. There is a track in the mix by Autumn of Communion called “Goodbye PK” dedicated to the late Peter Kuhlmann, who many of your listeners will know as the legendary Pete Namlook of FAX +49-69/450464. It’s an immensely moving track that manages to convey both the tragedy of his loss and the depth of the beauty he left with the world, and I feel we’re so fortunate to have music and influences like this in our recent history. I included it early to set the tone of the rest of the mix, which is quite different than any I’ve done before, and to pay my respects to those who’ve inspired our scene from the very beginning.

Q. I was lucky enough to witness your set at Sustain-Release in 2023 and was in awe of your ability to practice restraint while steadily building up tension and energy in the set with such clinical and seamless execution. Is this part of the DJ craft something you spend a lot of time planning and refining?

A. That was such a life-changing moment for me, so I’m really glad you were there! You really nailed what I hoped to accomplish with that set, and I definitely spend a lot of time thinking about where my sets will begin, where I would like them to end up, and what sort of path I might take to get there. Understanding the minutiae of how a transition will affect someone’s state of mind and how to propel someone forward without jarring them back to reality is something I’m always working to improve on. That said, the upward trajectory is not always the most interesting one, and there are so many other ways of charting a course through a set that I hope to be able to explore. For the mix I’ve made for you, it’s not so much a set that builds energy as it is one that expands and contracts, hopefully in a gentle and purposeful way.

Nefeli invites Jana Joanna @ GIMIC - 27 July 2025

"I’ve been thinking about recording a left-field mix (for the lack of better term) for quite a while, definitely for a couple years already. About a year ago I finally complied the selection of records, but for some reason I was postponing the very final step of recording it ever since. It is only because I took my first ever sabbatical leave from work recently that I managed to find inspiration for it to be finalised, and even to be repeatedly re-recorded, since the first take got screwed by the recording device’s misconfiguration.

This is not a perfect mix. But I’m still proud of it. The selection of records spans from 92 to 112 bpm, and the very premise of playing it in one take using only vinyl still sounds challenging to me. Yet, here we are: the mix is finally ready after all these months and years of hesitation and procrastination."
