DJ Sotofett presents his new 7" collaboration with Jimi Tenor and the wide spectrum of music, special versions and personal recordings surrounding it.

Sotofett presents... Gods Have Summoned Me Down - March 2021

This mix is sort of my personal take on downtempo, the majority of the mix is made up of 90s/early 00's goa trance records at 33RPM (pressed at 45). Fortuitously a large portion of these I obtained cheaply in Sydney while recording shopping with Danny Wild following a Moontown Records party I DJd in October 2019. This mix is for the fans of the nocturnal, darker side of downtempo electronica. Please enjoy" @james-tom / @krakatau-melbourne

Recording of Tala Drum Corps' set at Dekmantel Selectors 2021.

"My set at Dekmantel Selectors was an experience I will never forget. To be able to play my favourite music out loud with a dancing crowd after 1,5 year of nothingness, stress and mental exhaustion was something special. Very very grateful to the Dekmantel Crew and The Garden to have been part of this amazing festival. Thanks!"

Echoes is a deeply personal exploration of place, memory, and transformation. The EP opens with a track originally composed for @laaarmusic’s debut at Fusion Festival - a tribute to the enigmatic atmosphere of the Seebühne stage. Dark, fog-laced, and full of tension, it captures the charged stillness of that moment: the unknown rising from mist and bass.
Following his move to Europe in December, Laaar found unexpected echoes of that same energy in the forest near his new home. Cold days and quiet walks inspired the remaining two tracks - introspective pieces shaped by solitude, shifting light, and the distant pulse of memory.
Echoes weaves these experiences into a soundscape that feels both vast and intimate, club-minded yet deeply reflective. A journey through fog and forest, rhythm and resonance.

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.

As we delve straight into neo-reality it's very important to check your peripherals and adjust your trajectory. There is such a thing as coming in too hot, too hard, and too fast. After our last slice of respite and relaxation, it’s now time to pick up the pieces and start moving forward again, and I’ve got just the soundtrack for it. It's with great pleasure that I offer you #49 of this collection of thoughts, this one comes courtesy of Eric Filipus, straight from Helsinki. The Finnish finesser, spread’s his talent throughout all avenues of the audible world, whether it is Dj’ing, curating, or through local radio IDA (TIP! / link below). This is a perfect opportunity to flex the other side of his record collection. 

Brimming with galactic ideals and emotions, a poetic collection of thoughts. If you close your eyes you can actually picture a scene to match every song. A multifaceted rough cut diamond, equal parts chaos and harmony, unabridged hope, and a deep understanding of melancholy. Overall it perfectly sums up the year we’ve had and potentially the year we’re yet to have. Perfectly laced foreign folk, video game nostalgia (I’ve been waiting years for that Donkey kong drip), otherworldly neo-pop, future jazz, avant-rock, sprinkled with some Finnish masterpieces, it's all here, the trip we all need without leaving your own little bubble, wherever you are in the world. The perfect mixtape to end the year.

Ota aikaa, halaa perhettäsi ja nauti siitä, mitä voit. rauha olkoon kanssasi.

His words >>> “I went through the back of my record shelf for this one. It's a wide selection of gentle ambient, psychedelic rock, Finnish classics, guilty pleasure ballads, organic tribal sounds and a hint of jazz and funk.
All in all it's the stuff I really love to listen at home from my speakers but rarely get to play out loud in public.”

FHUO # 49 // Eric Filipus

There's no question in the remarkable quality of the musical outputs that Melbourne has to offer. Every now and then however, something truly special comes across your musical desk. For me, one of the most exciting projects to come of 2020 is Acopia.

Acopia brings together three local Melbourne musicians @purient, @liluzu and @morganwright, commendable all in their individual endeavours, but together converge to showcase a contemporary incarnation of stripped back, emotional synth pop reminiscent of the 80s. Their debut EP 'For You I Try' is everything I love packaged in two neat little arrangements, warm yet melancholy and worthy of a tear or two. Acopia's less is more approach to music will no doubt see them flourish into their bright future. I'm counting down the days until we can see Acopia take the stage live, but for now Lachie, Kate, and Morgan joined me for a chat and one hour guest mix, broadcast live on PBS Melbourne for Passing Notes episode 81.

Rev Lon's mix begins with deep reverberations of meditative percussion, drawing the listener into an hour-long journey of ambience and leftfield beats. Just the brain massage in order for the start of a new year.
