‘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.  

for our inaugural transmission, it is a great honour to bring you an hour long tape only mix by Rings Around Saturn, aka Dan White (rip) aka 2200 aka Pickleman aka 1/2 of Turner Street Sound and known to his mum as Rory Mcpike, it doesn’t really matter what you call him, his talent speaks beyond this planet. Going from strength to strength, Rory has released on some of the best local and international record labels such as Butter Sessions, Analogue Attic, Forbidden Planet and his latest on Unthank. Personally, Rory has had a big influence on me and my musical direction ever since that first live set at Inner Varnika 15 and has been a pivotal player in taking Australian music to an international audience. So please, without further ado, dim the lights, put on your headphones (anything but laptop speakers), pour the chamomile and sit back and R E L A X, you're at home. 

his words. 
"Mix was recorded on a drizzly day with 2 cassette decks and an analog delay so it's full of mistakes and over the top use of delay.  But that's how I do it when I wake up a little fuzzy on the weekend and I'm having a mix or a digging through music to help inspire some ideas I can explore in my own way."

FHUO # 1 // Rings Around Saturn

‘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.  

For our second episode, we’ve none other the man ‘wush’ himself. Josh to his mates, Joshua to his mum and Jah to his followers, an amoeba who has the power to go in any direction. A long time player who’s only in it for one reason, the ‘love’. 

Sought after by many because there are slots that only Wush can fill, an Inner Varnika staple, always strategically placed to pep the crowd up or wind the crowd down, all with the precision of a surgeon. 

Wush, paired with Herb Powers and Winters run the Melbourne based record label Parallel People (tip!) that also moonlights as a gathering at Section 8 on the reg, which is a celebration of the diverse noise that drives them and doubles as a short course in the arts for the gen pop.

Personally, his perfectly executed “DANCE TIL DAWN” mix sits right up there with the best, as well as all his other sonic adventures over the years and it's with great excitement that I can present this mix to you. 

"Mix was done last Sunday, pulled the window up, put the heater on, let some of the god's incense flow and drank some green tea and made the mix, just wanted to try and put some new stuff I've been feeling on the electronic tip, some more club, some less. Some new ambient stuff in there and just try and switch up the vibe a bit, not get too stuck in anyone bit"

(sip's on some of his home made vino)

"Shout out to Sound of Thought"

I'm not going to write anything about the mix, one because I’m not really sure what to write and two, I shouldn’t have to because you should already be listening to it. 
 

For Home Use Only! 

Jah bless.

‘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.”

Now that we know each other it's time to stretch a few minds and travel to some new worlds and who better to guide you than Thick Owens aka the clean shank kid aka the living mona lisa. 

On our fourth excursion, you're invited to explore every nook in the known universe, a take on a silent indie romantic horror soundtrack, a tapestry from the future. Carelessly blending sounds like a blind bartender's seeing eye dog. From Amazonian forest punk to post-post-neu-old wave kraut folk rock to slow-mo AI techno, take a step into the darkness, it's nice to have some contrast. 

Thick Owens hails from Sydney, running his brand of fun by the name of 'OKRA', a beacon for the people in the shape of a rave, he's also one on the brains behind the soon to be legendary 'Soft Centre', a festival for the whole body held just outside Sydney in an old power plant. At such a young age with all the right idea's, it's safe to say the future is in good hands. 

So with out further ado, wait till the sun sets, turn the lights down, decide on a ‘safe’ word and tell everyone to shut up, then press play. 

~ A letter from Thick ~

To whom it may concern,

After much delay and deliberation Thick Owens has emerged from the avant-garden to present his illprog-opus featuring dad-rock (Pink Floyd), pub rock (Grinderman), artrock (Jonny Greenwood), a Tool interlude, a theme song from a good TV show, William S. Burroughs talking for a while and a diary excerpt from Thick himself, titled: 'the weekend I finally got into Berghain'. 

This is not dance music! This is FOR HOME USE ONLY!

This is also an apology to my dad for selling my guitar. I just want him to know, I never forgot how to play. 

To be honest, I kind of imagined myself playing this to my dad if we went out for an unlikely bend and had an unlikely kick-ons and we mixed in weed and shit got loopy but we weren't allowed to leave until we smoothed out the kinks. 

Pink Floyd had to be the starting point. It alway was. But this is me saying "Dad, look where I started, and look at how I've grown, I'm no longer that little twerp practising Megadeth arpeggios, there's a whole world of music out there, I hope you can grow with me."

I don't want to turn this into a domestic, but it's definitely suited to the humble abode.

I hope you enjoy (dad) and Louis and thank you for the opportunity.

Warmest regards,

Thick

Sup! We back! 

So, we’re up to number 5 and who better to celebrate with than Dj Fett Burger! The Norwegian land dolphin aka Captain Sarcasm aka DJ anti-establishment aka possibly one of the nicest guy’s you’ll ever meet. 

Founder of the legendary ‘Sex Tags’ record label and the always faithful ‘Trushmix’ series, An extremely talented being across all forms of ‘art’ (loose term), from remixing tracks to doodling on a used napkin the man oozes a frustrating amount of genius without ever sacrificing his own ethics. 

Fett Burger and his equally talented brother, Dj Sotofett have worked their asses off over the last 15 years to get where they are now, building Sex Tags literally from the ground up, it took years of hard work to shape the label, nowadays we’re at the mercy of asshole discog’s resellers to even get a sniff of an old release. 

Mr. Burger himself as a DJ is pretty close to god level, the way he plays is like none other, A journeyman that can only be matched by a sherpas donkey running rings around the summits of Mt. Everest. If you’ve been lucky enough to see him play then you know exactly what I’m talking about. 

The mix itself, a toxic blend of disco, funk, soul and reggae, a perfect soundtrack to dancing in the kitchen. A guaranteed mood heightener, A contagious trip amongst the stars, even your mum will enjoy. Scientifically impossible to not nod your head for an hour and a half, this won’t leave your portable media player for years to come. 

I’ve been lucky to get to know the burg’s over the last couple of years as we’ve had him at Inner Varnika for the last 3 and he’s helped us evolve the festival into something we only dreamed of, he truly ‘gets it’ more than most and he’s always happy to help in any way possible with a side of the driest humour known to man. It’s an absolute honor to put this mix out, it brings to light exactly what we’re about, which is completely open to interpretation. 

ha det gøy og nyte trygt!!!

Yo!

We out here occupying the immediate vicinity! The area that encompasses your peripheral of the body and mind. 

Stepping up to the plate for our next vacation for the brain is Melbourne’s own (DJ) Colette aka the most realest of reals aka the O.G.G aka 110% silk/cotton blend. She serves up an hour-long love letter written in every language that's ever been read. 

Colette encompasses the term ‘selecta’, she’s the ultimate ever-changing playlist to suit any environment. A Dj’s Dj’s pet chameleon, she can musically adapt to any environment/scene, whether its smoked out jazz club in the middle of nowhere or a packed out dance floor at Inner Varnika. Doctor’s actually prescribe Colette for most medical conditions. 

This absolutely stunning mix of music is almost a perfect gift for someone you love, a mixtape for your potential high school sweet heart, a love letter from your future self just to remind you that the world ain’t so bad. If you don’t feel anything when you listen to it then I’m pretty sure you’re not human at all. 

Colette is every part a legend, she’s one of those ones that balances out the universe. Melbourne is lucky to have her and we’re so lucky to be able to present this mix. 

So please, bump this mix twice and see me in the morning and drink plenty of water. 

All the L.O.V.E.

Buonasera!!!

How are we? We is good. We is so good!

We is back with numero sette! aka lucky number seven. I know we weren’t gone long enough but when you’ve got good news you really should share it. 

This time around its a team effort, brought to you by the gruesome twosome themselves Pjenné & Simon TK, two of Melbourne’s finest on both sides of the turntables, in preparation for their upcoming ‘Earth Tones’ party at the Fairfield amphitheatre. Which follows a similar vein with a familiar vibe. 

Simon TK aka the melodic jack russell aka the cosmic van-damme aka DJ Gravy-Fingers aka the guy that plays ‘good’ disco, he’s been one of Melbourne’s legs for many years, making and creating the scene we so comfortably know in the neu-modern era. The man has two pies for each finger (DJ Gravy-Fingers) a founding father of the ever fun Wax'o Paradiso, XOXO (rip), ¿Club D'érange? and now Earth Tones amongst a few more handfuls of tasty ventures. The man can mix though, by jove’s have I seen this bloke do some amazing shit behind the decks, can command a dance floor like a bloody blue healer on show day. All of this and he still manage’s to stay grounded, he’s a true ledg who will hopefully continue to steer Melbourne in the right direction for the foreseeable future. 

Now, Pjenné aka penne puttanesca aka the little engine that done did aka DJ Compact Disc aka the walking record bag, if there was a formula that Pjenné followed to start her foray into this ridiculous game of ‘play the music’ then I would bottle it all and drink it for myself. A classic case of ‘shut-the-fuck-up-and-listen’, she spent years hanging with her cohorts, digging through their tunes, taking notes on their train wrecks, taking samples of sweat from the crowd, only to apply her knowledge from the very beginning. I knew from the very first time she put a needle on a record it was meant to be. Since then, she hasn’t looked back, destroying dance floors Australia wide and leaving no souvenir. She is ‘on’ 

The mix itself is an absolute trip through your own mind. Perfect road trip soundtracking. Stopping off in every suburb in the state of genre, from dub, reggae, street soul, ambient breaks (it’s a thing) and every single step in between. Summer vibes through and through. listen to it. You probably already are. 

Go check out Earth Tones this weekend at the Fairfield Amphitheatre for much the same from the speakers from much of the same good people’s. 

addio. xo

Hello? 

Yeah hi. So um it's been a minute or ten. Anyway. We're back with number eight, arguably the luckiest number in galaxy. I've invited long time cohort and part time friend, the Peppermint Darling aka the Jeremy Barr experience aka the perilous prince of pleasure aka the Lo-fi Ainsley Harriet of left field chillcore. 

The man himself is one hell of a confounding creature, scientists have studied him since birth but to no avail, literally raising more questions than answering them, originally coming from his mother via some strange European country, he is now a part of the furniture in ye olde melbourne town. One of the founding fathers of the infamous Caviar Lounge, professional party throwers/goers. A self professed master in the art of awkward body humour, there's never a dull moment when he's around, in fact I don't think I've ever had a serious interaction with him, he's a kind of spit milk out ya nose type operator, great for weddings, not so much for funerals. 

Now, the mix, a perfect exploitation of others artwork, all pieced together in a poetic manner. The musical choice on the journey is flawless, it's a mix you would listen to on your first trip to mars, the soundtrack to driving your soon to be ex wife home on your first date, you could play it in any uber and the driver would have to pull over every three and half minutes to Shazam the track so then he could play the tracks back to unsuspecting high rollers in the off chance they would bump his rating up from a 4.2 to a 4.3. I've personally listened to it at least once a few months back and from what I can remember, you're going to love it.  All jokes aside, it's one of my favourite submissions, it completely embodies the aesthetic of why I started such a thing. Hopefully you stopped reading ages ago and you're already half way through your second listen. 

Robert is your mums brother! 

Peace be with you.

Well, thank you and yourself?

Is there anything more synonyms with heat than the number 9? Probably. 9 minutes is the universal ‘snooze’ time on time clocks across the galaxy, the snooze feature was added in the 1950s, the innards of alarm clocks had long been standardized. This meant that the teeth on the snooze gear had to mesh with the existing gear configuration, leaving engineers with a single choice: They could set the snooze for either a little more than nine minutes or a little more than 10 minutes. But because early reports indicated that 10 minutes was too long, allowing people to fall back into a "deep" sleep, clockmakers decided on the nine-minute gear, believing people would wake up easier and happier after a shorter snooze. So, the number 9 has a greater connection to our generation than we could ever know. 
So who better to present the 9th transmission in the series than Roman Ćinske aka the hairy dingo aka the weekend jesus aka the decent expat, but his mum calls him Paul

The ex-Melbourne marvel is on a full-time holiday in Berlin, they don’t know how lucky they are, his laugh can be heard on the other side of Kottbusser Tor and his hugs felt for days after. A more than a decent bloke who gives so much to the scene without asking for anything in return. Through curating his own brilliant series of transmissions and releases through ‘By the Inch’ he’s had a plethora of worldwide talent submit some incredible mix’s (go check it out). He puts just as much love into curating one of Berlin’s clubs OHM and also his ‘Paradise Twin’ open air parties are super tops. He’s one of those guys that's actually done something in Berlin rather than getting sucked into the alice in wonderland type vortex that claims so many. r.i.p make-believe homies. 

Anyway. Down to it. 

The mix, a soft and subtle trip down (future)memory lane in a wheelbarrow equipped with pneumatic tires. A decent offshore breeze blowing in sets of 3 and a half foot perfect left-handers, a mosaic for the mind. Just over an hour of different forms of relaxation. A perfect way to wind down a weekend, I’ve got a feeling it’ll be a mix that everyone returns to when it's exactly that time. If my bullshit doesn’t make sense then maybe some of his does "A selection of stripped-back IDM, ambient DnB, psychedelic electronica & trip-hop from releases spanning the past two decades. Slip on something comfortable and have a dip."
Hit the snooze button and listen to it again.

I never thought we would make it to double digits! the big one-oh! thanks for sticking with us or thanks for finally joining us! 

The latest offering to the lord of the pulled blinds is presented by Melbourne’s own future queen of the dark arts, Jess Sneddon aka the night bleached ninja aka de nieuwe golfkrijger aka tall-e smalls aka a humble lass with great taste in music and wine. 

Jess is another great example of ‘look before you leap’, biding her time, picking all the ripe fruit before making the perfect marmalade. Coming from a punk laden past, which still haunts her in a good way, she’s especially good at bringing the light into dark music. A full-blown selecta who is not to be messed with.

The mix is perfect for driving home from work, if you happen to work in an eastern European power plant doing night shift’s and you live exactly an hour and eight minutes away then this was made for you. A movie will one day be made to this soundtrack. A brisk jog through the morning fog, touching on all things dramatic, a synth-ridden wonderland, melancholic vocal pieces that haunt you in a good way. Another trip to the other side. It's good to be uncomfortable. 

her words.

“This mix was recorded on a Monday night and is a reflection of what I'm likely to be listening to at home on a Saturday afternoon. 
I came into electronic music from a punk/DIY/guitars background and initially struggled to see how someone could coexist within both scenes — I guess this sort of bridges the two in a non-club setting.”
