"I love deep tech" is back with round II just in time for the winter solstice. As requested - twice as long and twice as funky (but split over two hours, so not too funky) and of course deep. 

In a sense a highlight reel of 2024s search for the perfect afterparty records. Fun, weird, a bit emo, uplifting but also chill : Somewhere in-between and barely cracking 110bpm.

I still love deep tech

The first entry in this year’s Virtual Utopia program comes from the Australian-born, Berlin-based duo, Daisy Records (@daisyrecordsmelbourne). Mitch and Obelix have crafted an entrancing 2.5-hour journey that weaves through downtempo, house, ambient techno, and trance -all infused with a shimmering ambiance that radiates warmth and positivity. Each track carries an ethereal beauty, enveloping the listener in a calming softness that invites them to close their eyes and drift peacefully through the inner, and outer reaches of their minds. 

Daisy Records are true masters at capturing a sense of ethereal spaciousness, delivering a sonic palette that soothes the mind and cleanses the spirit. This mix offers listeners the space to let their thoughts flow gently downstream, while their atoms dissipate, floating aimlessly yet never lost, free from the need for a destination.

Every sense is blissfully engaged here—vibrant colors, cooling winds, the fresh scent of life, and the harmonious soundscape of a flourishing Earth. A temporary window into the unspoiled nature it once was.

Through the spectrum of euphonic sound, resonating souls merge and dissipate like distant murmurations. Although for some, however much their distance may change, through the phenomena of love, they will remain forever bound.

Thank you, Mitch and Obi, for this beauty <3

Settled back in the UK after a long stint in Berlin, London chill-out devotee Lucy Cook treats us to one of her notoriously nostalgic blends, with meditative vocal swept soundscapes and smoky jazz lounge space dub fused with trip-hop cuts resurrected from obscure CDs from the 90s and 00s. Deeep mood exploration at its finest!

Q. What inspiration did you draw upon when planning this mix, and what type of listening environment could you imagine it being enjoyed in? 

A. I put the mix together after a bright and productive start to the year. It’s somewhat reflective of my mood I guess, maybe not through the vibe of the tracks, but in the space around them. I’ve explored some deeper sounds in this one.. so maybe one for some introspective listening. 

I recently visited Japan too and was super inspired by how intentional everything is, with a focus on simplicity and quality. Stripping things back and consistency are new-ish themes in my personal life too, which feels really good.

Q.  Are there any songs in the mix that are especially close to your heart, and what is it about these tracks that resonate with you so much?

A. I really can’t choose, but there’s a couple of edits and things I made which feel special. I had fun layering some interesting vocal samples and weird sounds I’ve been collecting over the years, and created some bits with these which are peppered throughout. 

Quite a few of the tracks are CD rips from the 90’s and 2000’s, which is a method of digging I love. For me without it, so much amazing music wouldn’t be shared. There’s also one or two from friends’ labels Truffle101 and Sonido Chido which are really cool ones. It’s important to me to support those around me and get good music heard :)  

Q. I know you recently made the move back to London after some years living in Berlin, how's the transition been and what are a couple of your favourite UK parties or festivals that you're looking forward to reconnecting with this summer?

A. It took a little while to “arrive” here actually. I’m a pretty calm person and the energy is very different, but I’m feeling happy and at home here now. 

Electronic music wise, I went to Houghton for the first time last year and was blown away by the quality of the music, so I’m looking forward to being there again. Otherwise, I’m enjoying seeing more live musicians. There’s always a lot of great psychedelia, jazz, soul, and hip hop to see here, especially outdoors in the summer. Oh and number 1, Glastonbury!

Drama Source Artifacts aka @felixwillik, founder of the collective @aestheticasanethos adds his chapter to the Lumbago Saga. One hour of a rising build up going from downtempo to progressive trance. 

We met Felix a few years ago in Frankfurt and felt a strong bound with all the people we met there. The result is a few appearances on the podcast channel from them. Enjoy the ride ninjas!

We’re proud to welcome @daisyrecordsmelbourne into our WHiTMIX series — a mix that moves with the pulse of so-called Australia and the deep threads of community that continue to shape us across distance and time.

Crafted by the Berlin/Naarm-based collective, this mix holds space for the voices and rhythms that formed their roots and ours — a sonic reflection of connection, memory, and place.

From Daisy Records:
“We’re a Berlin/Naarm-based label, online store, DJ duo and event series. This mix is a personal one, made entirely of artists from so-called Australia — a place that shaped our ears, friendships and dancefloors, and continues to ground our project even as we live oceans away.

Through our first three annual compilations and beyond, we’ve always aimed to highlight emerging talent from back home. This mix is no different — it’s filled with rhythm, memory, and love for the community that raised us.”

Grateful to share this frequency with you.
