To kick-start our new solar orbit, Amsterdam's Nera (@nera-ja) has programmed the next instalment of Virtual Utopia. A 90-minute future-space voyage through progressive trance and everything that surrounds. Close your eyes, and know the destination will be great, but the journey much greater...

This program aims to imitate the sensation of drifting consciously into the never-ending centre point of focus. Within the initial section you will be greeted by an artificial-intelligence 'DEEP-DREAM™' avatar who will lift you out of earths stratosphere and into distant realities,  then will guide you through chromatic fractal hallways where yourself reflects back at you infinite times, optimised for introspection.

Tunneling endlessly through squiggly acid lines that travel through you like plasma, a macro-dosed journey through utopian visions and future civilisations,  an interlaced groove keeps this simulation a high-vibe-emitter from start to finish.  Emulating the sensation of travelling through an internet cable, spanning genres but still maintaining light speed progression.

Nera has provided an explorative, espionage mission to discover metallic artefacts of otherworldy materials. Throughout the mission there is ability to discover the distant expanse of the known universe, yet inspect the unfathomable dimensions of whats beyond the molecule.

Strap in and connect to your CIU (Cerebral Interface Unit) - the simulation is about to begin...

Patch Notes: "Many thanks to Laura for this high-propulsion mix, and happy new year to all <3"

MNMT 418 : Priori

The third offering in our mix series is a live recording of Priori and Cousin's dj set at Sustain Release 2024. Recorded on the last morning between 6am and 1pm on what was meant to be an ambient stage, it featured everything a 3 day festival closing set should. Eclectic picks, strange and emotional sounds, dubious transitions and a few feigned endings. Massive thanks to all the dancers, the Sustain staff (Aurora, Ash and everybody else who put their blood, sweat and tears into this), the music makers, the birds, the stars. 

Much love,

P & C

naffcast003 ⦾ Cousin & Priori ༻ Sustain Release 2024 Bossa Nova Stage closing set ༺ ❁

Welcoming the lovely Refuge Worldwide co-founder and dub-master @richard-akingbehin to the Animix series this week, with a beautiful journey of minimal house infused with his signature dub styles.

Clear in his DJ'ing, but also his work with @refugeworldwide, and his immaculately curated label, @kynant-records, Richard is an all-round classy selector, and a champion of community. Through his various outputs, his deep & considered knowledge and taste shines. 

Richard always impresses me with the diversity of moods he presents via his DJ'ing, hybrid collaborations with legend Tikiman, b2bs with other legends like livwutang, and his label - a diversity that's always strung together with his incredibly distinctive psychedelic, soothing dub formula. 

Thanks for the mix Richard <3

OLD SCHOOL NIGHTLIFE 2026

We still remember Takumi Inamoto’s Berlin set, defined by its unique style and sound.
In an age of growing sonic homogeneity, the Japanese artist’s deep, multi-layered approach stands as a vital counterpoint, a reminder that progress thrives on divergence.
His new one hour recording, created for this podcast, unfolds into a soundscape shaped by nature and the depths of the subconscious.
