A slow suspension in zero gravity, surrounded by infinite blackness and the gentle, humming vibration of the universe's background radiation.

‘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.”

Yibing @ The Lot Radio 08 - 29 - 2020

The 1st of October 2020 marks 60 years since the independence of Nigeria. Nigeria as we know it today though is not the same Nigerian Federation from that day, having entered its Fourth Republic in 1999. Just as Nigeria has undergone transformation after transformation in the 20th century, so has its music. Nigerian musicians, such as Fela Kuti, King Sunny Ade, and the Lijadu Sisters, have always been at the forefront of boundary pushing sounds. Today, artists from Nigeria and the diaspora remain amongst the foremost in creative expression. This mix exemplifies the diversity of that legacy, showcasing the highlights from the motherland and beyond, with contemporary giants such as Yemi Alade, Burna Boy, Jidenna and Wizkid. All the artists here, albeit largely Yoruba, bring an eclectic mix of firebrand sounds that speak to the history of Nigeria through their sounds, as well as its present and future, through their words.

Bside Incoming: Shy One 

This instalment of the Bside Incoming series comes from London. A DJ and Producer of equally impressive measure, affiliated to the Touching Bass and BBZ collectives, a regular on Balamii Radio, and a truly passionate collector with a deep, deep knowledge of music. It’s a pleasure to welcome… Shy One.

From DJing on community radio at the age of 14 and warming up for her father, to cementing herself as a main player on line-ups at incredible parties across London and beyond, she already has an unquestionable pedigree behind the decks.
Her productions are always keen to keep pace with the capital’s thriving grime scene, but her tracks always stand out from the crowd and her beats are authentic to her many musical influences, this episode being testament to that wide array of inspiration. 

Her tastes glide across styles, while always sticking to her own sound: the hypnotic rhythms and irresistible broken beats that have deeply inspired her, and translated through to her outstanding discography.

What genre is her music? Who cares? Shy One knows what she loves, and we love it too!

Check out her collaboration with Josey Rebelle for her album from last year: https://soundcloud.com/timsweeney/shy-one-route-ii-romeos

Come on, take a glimpse into the impressive record collection of Shy One. Hear the records that mean the most to her, what makes her tick, how she relaxes, and a little philosophy behind her vinyl collecting and production styles. Jazz, Soul, Hip-Hop, Grime, House and everything in between.
