Always honoured to represent Machine - and with the label boss himself! :D
Thanks, as always, for your support and encouragement, Tilly <3

I'd been wanting to see if I could, coherently and… meaningfully (without undue manner…ism…s ;] ), mix a group of tracks from my collection that range pretty widely in tempo (for techno, or for how I play techno at least :) and intensity (and feel, and flavour) yet all share in some measure (however small, or subtle) a quality that…

…I (even I! ;) find hard to articulate. Like a wide clear night sky in the country (or desert, I imagine; I've not - yet - been :), deep black and riotous with stars, a bit dizzying and delicately dazzling, too vast to really comprehend and so instilling just the right (read: manageable :) amount of awe... is the best I can do. (In my collection, I tag these tracks 'cosmic', with various qualifiers, and for want of a less… used-and-oft-abused-yet-actually-literally-useful term: cosmic, as in, of the cosmos… ;D)

Wow, I've talked it up rather a lot! Anyway... Like all good psycho-cosmo-nautical trips (! ;), okay, journeys, this one has its moment(um)s and mean(der)ings… may range far, but… isn't long! Come along :)

machine on fnoob techno radio - virtual awecosm (dj mix) - 14 june 2024

Systa BB invited me in for set and yarn as part of her 3RRR radio program  'The Good, The Dub, The Global' in the lead up to the NAIDOC Techno Tanderrum

Techno Tanderrum 3RRR promo mix

This is Brothers & ChunKy's DJ set from the 2019 Rainbow Serpent Festival, recorded live on the Sunset Stage.

It's a culturally-inspired auditory journey, which blends progressive and percussive electronica that features Aboriginal instruments such as yidaki (didgeridoo), clap sticks, vocal chants, tribal rhythms, storytelling, and nature sounds that are heard when out on country. They call this ‘Aboriginal Techno’.  

Their aim is to tell a story through our track selection, and take listeners on an exploration of culture that challenges preconceptions, and expands the definition of what Aboriginal culture is.

We hope you enjoy it!

Consoles :: 7 quick lockdown questions

1. Action, Drama, Romance or Documentary movie? 
I don't watch a lot of talkies these days, but  the last thing I watched was a documentary. 'My Octopus Teacher' blew my mind and expanded my appreciation of the infinite mystery of our earth and fellow species.

2. Coffee, Tea or Alcohol? 
One of each thanks!  Although if I could only have one for the rest of eternity it would be tea - there are so many delicious infusions.

3. Sleep in or get up early 
I used to aspire to being an early bird - but I've resigned myself to the fact that waking up will always be an excruciating exercise of personal willpower.

4. Favourite Sunday afternoon listening album 
Currently it's probably Power Spot by Jon Hassell or Holy Spring by Lawrence Pike- but it depends on what sort of afternoon I'm having. I also enjoy tuning into RRR or PBS :)

5. What art movement describes you the best?
Neo-Expressionism? I think? I'm not really across all of the sub genres of sub genres... I think that art is for everyone and that play and creation is a fundamental part of being a human animal - so perhaps we are all part of the same movement?

6  Opera, Country, Folk or Black Death Metal
There are good and terrible examples in every genre, so never say never. But I'm more likely to be listening to folk or country on a regular basis.

7. Tell us something no one knows about you
I was so depressed and consumed by grief after the bushfires earlier in the year that I didn't think I would ever play music again - I didn't even want to listen to any music. It felt like the light had gone out of the world. I realised recently that somewhere during lockdown my capacity to enjoy music had crept back in, perhaps not in the same way as before, but I'm grateful to Machine for inviting me to prepare this podcast - it's been good to create something I can share with my Machine family until we meet again xxx

Melbourne producer /musician, JXTPS takes on freeform expressionism with a colourful palette of mixed genres, creating a mesmerizing sonic canvas for Machine isoStream 18, where he wanted to create something different, more of a listening vibe and not to be bound by tempo too much…. Directive achieved.

JXTPS :: 7 quick lockdown questions

1. Action, Drama, Romance or Documentary movie? 
"Romance"
2. Coffee, Tea or Alcohol?
"Coffee"
3. Sleep in or get up early 
"Sleep In"
4. Favourite Sunday afternoon listening album.
"Ooh too many maybe Miles Davis - Sketches of Spain or Tortoise - it's all around you."
5. What art movement describes you the best? 
"Post modernist retro cubism."
6 Opera, Country, Folk or Black Death Metal 
"All of the above though opera would generally be the least likely to listen unless it was at a concert"
7. Tell us something no one knows about you.
"Well I guess some people may know this but most probably don't, I wanted to be a jazz guitarist and went so far as to study it at uni and even travel overseas to play and study for a brief time."

Ayahuasca Song

I offer my deepest respect and admiration for the culture, courage and compassion of First Nations peoples throughout Australia (and indeed around the world), Traditional Custodians of Country. 

As a descendent of colonisers, I am sincerely sorry for the dispossesion and suffering caused to First Nations people as a result of the British invasion, and acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded: always was, always will be |-o-|

Helloo!

It's been a long time, and quiet at that from my end. Just having a fallow spell and/or mojo lull (depending on the day :), managing my mind and health (or not - ditto ;), musing and meandering and mimimalising... And while that's great / necessary (! :), I've found it a little unsettling to have this subside into dormancy... So it's fortunate that, in my inactivity, I've amassed a minor backlog of sets to upload - something fresh, however aged :D

Enjoy, stay well, be kind, laugh lots, love well, find peace xo
