After seven revisits this mix is still so good <3

‘For home use only’ is an anti-club social, a chance to get to know someone/something. A series of transmissions purely dedicated to exploring the other side.

Joining us for our third installment is the queen of Queensland, Miss Emma Stevenson aka DJ XXXX (fourex) aka the lady of the deep aka the iceberg that sunk the titanic. Hailing from the sunshine state where there's no such thing as rain or daylight savings, she’s used the lack of infringement on time to her advantage, honing her skills to become an absolute solid force in the idiosyncratic world of the ‘disk jock’. 

In the last few years, Brisbane has popped its head up in the scene with a number great producer’s, record labels, DJ’s and parties, firmly stamping their own imprint on the Australian landscape. Emma has been a huge part of this movement, sticking it out, avoiding the temptation to move to Melbourne or Sydney and just holding down the fort in Brisbo. Her digging habits compare to that of nervous badger, constructing complex, long-lasting networks of tunnels and chambers that make up her deeply rooted DJ sets.  

The mix itself is almost perfect for a post-club debrief, almost like a bed time story with a twist at the end. Layers upon layers of lush soundscapes laden with memory triggers and spatial echoes. I recommend being selfish on this one and putting in your headphones. 

Personally, I’m a massive fan of Emma on both sides of the decks so it's an absolute pleasure to present this mix and I can’t wait to see how far she will go. 

her words.

“This mix was recorded the first night of a residency I'm doing @ Queensland Art Gallery/ Gallery of Modern Art.
My approach to playing a gallery space kinda mimics my own living room soundtracking, picking up spacious stuff suited for bubbling under dinner guest banter, or just enjoying some solo unwind time.”
