"I felt compelled to make this mix during my mandatory hotel isolation period, depicting certain moods I was flowing in between; reflective, sensual, longing, hope... suspended in time. The tracks are very special to me and remind me mostly of missing loved ones. I really wanted to focus on speech and lyric - especially female vocals. The mix is actually a vessel for femine energy and some of what that represents to me. Snippets from the “100% Genuine” CD released on Rephlex records have been woven throughout the mix, a collection of real phone recordings from a dating agency."

@roza-terenzi aka. Katie Campbell, has escaped Berlin lockdown and is currently on the first leg of her NZ tour, starting with Beacon Festival in Auckland. 

She delivers us a pretty special mix for our 24th instalment in the series - a little more down-tempo and reminiscent of her iso-diaries while in NZ quarantine.

Hue & Saturation Mix 024: Roza Terenzi

We are honoured to welcome, an artist who needs no introduction, local icon Simon TK.  His work curating label Club Derange and Skylab radio, as well as his illustrious deejay career both solo and with Waxo paradiso  is instrumental in making our Naarm scene tick. Someone we’ve personally idolised here at Neurocrank from his sunrise sets at Pitch to club nights at Colour, Simon’s sets have always inspired us to dig a little deeper. No exception here, Simon has blessed us with an hour of deep proggy blends xx

The first of a 3-month series where I’ll be showcasing the sounds of Naarm/Melbourne, Australia. Feels like all the records I’m buying and mixes I’m digging right now seem to be from this city so for the next months I’ll be on the radio with some of my favourites.

First off I’m joined by Neurocrank a wicked party & mix series who have had guests such as Solar Suite, Guy Contact and Anderson in the mix - well worth a check.

Second to lead a simulated experience for the Virtual Utopia series is Faery [BRISTOL, UK]. During this 83-minute program, you will be guided through a mystic’s interpretation of our universe. Modern physics suggests existence is a 'neural network' of interconnected, vibrating particles (Quantum Entanglement) where everything exists in relation to everything else. Alternatively, in eastern philosophy; the organic world resonates on a certain frequency, a mutual hum, illustrated as the 'Dance of Shiva'. Could this cosmic dance be the same phenomena they are analysing in atomic physics? 

Plug in and find out.

Enjoy your time with us at Dream Software.

"For a parallel to the lesson of atomic theory... [we must turn] to those kinds of of epistemological problems with which already thinkers like the Buddha and Lao Tzu have been confronted, when trying to harmonise our position as spectators in the great drama of existence." -- Niels Bohr 

"The great scientific contribution in theoretical physics that has come from Japan since the last war may be an indication of a certain relationship between philosophical ideas in the tradition of the Far East and the philosophical substance of quantum theory." - Werner Heisenberg

For the 95th entry in the Honcho Podcast Series, we welcome @livwutang! Denver-raised, Seattle-honed, DJ livwutang stews together atmospheric soundscapes and bubbly instrumentation that could soundtrack a smoke-filled lounge, or a walk home under the cover of night.

After getting her start spinning on pirate radio, livwutang has been a regular curator and feature at local parties in her area. Her prolific grind and playful mixes earned her a spot as a resident of a room in one of Seattle's premier clubs.

To guide us through the next simulated experience; Passing Notes Radio boss and 1/2 of the great new label ‘Companion', Pjenné [Melbourne, AUS], shows us what a utopian existence can sound, feel and look like.

Follow on as she glides through the stratosphere, looking down on the lush greenery and crystal water that our earth effortlessly inhabits... occasionally looking up into the vast display of distant stars and planets, glittering across the stillness of outer space.

Pjenné beautifully illustrates the phenomenology of nature through tracks which touch on each element, whether that be the ethereality of air, the intricacy of water, the depth of earth, or just the pure warmth flowing through this immaculately thought-out audible narrative.

We couldn’t help but think this would be the perfect soundtrack for the day peace on earth is declared, where humanity sits back and appreciates a new world— where collectively, we love what grows, exists and dies.

This small blue dot is our home… our balanced oasis in the desert of space. Perhaps we need the ability to fly to see a different perspective - and we’re sure this will help.

Close your eyes and drift into your own self.

Enjoy, and thankyou Pjenné

Pilotting the next installment of the Virtual Utopia series is Seven Hills Records (@seven-hills-records), a dual-cored unit residing right in the central processor of the UK, London. Whether it be their DJ sets, or their stellar lineup of releases as a label, these lot really know how to propel you into the future and past at the same time.

This hour long simulated audio-experience takes us from walking endless corridors of cold brushed steel; to wandering the metallic planes of a dusted-chrome retro-futurist world, somewhere on an outdated version of a open-world virtual reality, all whilst being seamlessly embedded with earthy, grounding, organic sub-frequencies that remind us we are still actually living beings.

Travelling through internet cables, with the squeaks and bleeps of passing electrons. Quantum delays and such speeds that cause blurred vision. Groove-infused electronic signals destined for a far alien reciever. All this combined with the immaculate taste and organic sound of Seven Hills makes this an hour of pure 5-star time-decoration. 

You've taken the right path.

Enjoy.

Next to contribute to the Virtual Utopia series is Melbourne-based Sommi (@sommmi) who’s airborne, breaks-infused sound has really resonated with us in the Corporation since we heard his mix at the dawn of the 13th Chime series. 

This 60-minute program guides us through various landscapes, soundscapes and dreamscapes- beginning with a deep meditative introduction that feels like staring endlessly into a misty valley of crystalline refraction. Moving forward, we hover through views of lush surroundings and trickling waters, where Sommi really compliments the sounds of spring.

Gliding past smooth unknown structures of brushed aluminium, the metallic shades reflect the spectrum of existence back at you. A true ascension into a virtual universe. A pneumatic dream-world of mechanical efficiency. What a utopia earth could be.

During the program we will delve deep into a 3D simulated forest, an endless array of fractal trees and vegetation, rendered real-time. It all seems so realistic, until you look closely and see the edges of everything is pixelated.

Looking up at looping digital skies on seamlessly installed LCD screens. You open your eyes.

Many thanks to Sommi for this stellar contribution and we hope you enjoy!
