EXAMINING THE GOD HEAD w/ Hex Editor

@hexeditor
With less than a handful of releases under his belt, it’s hard to wrap your head around just how refined Hex Editor’s sound is. Debuting with the captivating ‘Tuesday’ on local label Psy-Section, Hex Editor has crafted his own luxurious brand of transcendental progressive house and trance. Hex Editor’s tracks encapsulate a sense of the light at the end of the tunnel - they glow with luscious immersive pads, near-funky basslines, carefully placed gated vocals and drip with all the finishing touches that elevate a good song to being great. Depth is expertly contrast to vibrant, soaring melodies which create an overall euphoric and joyus energy. Today, Hex Editor celebrates the release of his EP ‘Blush’ on London's GODDEZZ label, a beautifully packaged CD release featuring remixes from SUMORAI, Sakura Tsuruta, SEO JOHN and Omformer as well as a track coming out on Barcelona’s Nebulae. Hex Editor joined me as the first post-pandemic restrictions, in-person Passing Notes guest to join me at the new studios on April 1st 2022.

Novelcast 131: Hex Editor

Front Left w. Kilopatrah Jones & Hex Editor - 25 August 2022

With what was mostly a full and fruitful year for us with many beautiful moments, we now turn our eyes forward to what is looking to be a very exciting year for us at Phonica as we walk into our 20th year of being alive. 2022 saw our mix series get even more killer contributions from artists like Paramida, Sally C, Fred P, Eden Burns, Alex Kassian, Erol Alkan and more. 2023's series line up plans to keep moving up and we have opened this years mix season in the capable hands of two of the finest DJ/Producers doing it right now. Bringing nothing but powerful, euphoric and goddess energies it can only be Octo Octa and Eris Drew of T4T Luv NRG. Amazingly celebrated for their strand of psychedelic, rolling progressive, trancey-house and break rhythms we can't think of two better selector's to take on our series. With an excellently curated compilation and mix for our good friends at Fabric last year as well as two banging cassettes on T4T we can't begin to imagine what this year has in-store for Maya and Eris but we have no doubt it's even more on the upward trajectory! Most likely to the heavens and back! We had a chat with Maya and Eris to see what they have been up to lately and little about how they approached the mix.

Phonica Mix Series 103: Octo Octa & Eris Drew

Throbbing with energy and unshakable radiance straight from the 90’s, there ain’t no denying this mix is the absolute beez kneez . com 🐝 see for yourself, you won’t be disappointed 🌶

During Kraft und Licht's day-into-night party on the 10th of December '22, at a new venue called Noordwaards, Match Box blessed us with an extended (4h) opening set. This is the recording of their last 2 hours! Did you know that Match Box produce really sick tracks as well? They rent a music studio at Krafthaus, the cultural hub by Kraft und Licht. It's all in the family. <3 Check out their page below!

The first Patterns of Perception mix of 2023 comes from a luminous presence and dear friend of our collective - label head, mix series curator, promoter and esteemed selector Aaron J (@arn_j).

Over the years, a combination of passion, openness and tireless energy has seen Aaron become a trusted voice for experimental, boundary-pushing electronic music across both the US and the wider scene. 

Founded over eight years ago, Aaron’s much-loved platform @sure_thing is the embodiment of his forward-thinking curation and clarity of vision. Now based in Brooklyn, Sure Thing started as a series of parties in San Francisco before growing outward, later blossoming into a renowned mix series and record label. 

As a DJ, Aaron’s level of empathy and attention-to-detail are unmistakeable, allowing him to deeply connect with the dance floor no matter the context - layering, building and driving emotions ever onwards.

Aaron J's Patterns of Perception 106 is both radiant and personal - an idyllic snapshot of the perfect dance floor, glowing with wide-eyed energy. Pensive darkness simmers into hedonistic psychedelia. Intensity turns reflective. Endless rhythms vibrate and flare into nurturing light.

Patterns of Perception 106 - Aaron J

Fresh batch of unsigned / forthcoming tunes in the mix for your listening pleasure :-)

Abdul Raeva - 200% Unreleased

Butter Sessions is one of those labels that can go absolutely anywhere and still make sense because theres an element that tags it down to the ears of Sleep D aka Maryos Syawish and Corey Kikos. The two label heads behind the absolutely iconic institution straight outta Melbourne, Australia have worked with aritsts like Roza Terenzi, D.Tiffany, Tornado Wallace, Yuzo Iwata and more creating a platform for upcoming and solidly established artists to broaden their sound and explore into the unknown. Like the artists they represent Sleep D as DJ's and producers have touched all sides of the club and eclectic spectrum having dropped many anthem filled 12's(including a very solid LP on Anthony Naples' Incienso) as well as experimental outings on labels like Play On Records. 
For Off The Record #37 Syawish and Kikos have dropped us straight into the elements of the main room. A smoke machine filled warehouse of house, techno, bass and percussive club rolling excursions. Strap yourself in(or don't?). 
We had a quick chat with Sleep D about the mix, the Melbourne scene and Butter Sessions and more!

Off The Record Mix Series 37: Sleep D

Brett has been making waves on the international level with his productions while also becoming a staple in the local scene playing at some of the amazing parties Melbourne has to offer. Starting in 2021 Brett released a debuting track on the wonderful Psy Section , followed shortly after by a three track ep on the equally wonderful Goddezz and even more recently tracks on V/A comps by Goddezz and Nebulae Records. Through only this modest amount of releases he has managed to demonstrate his talent by defining his own unique sound, drawing inspiration from the old and new. His tracks always seem to have a deep propulsive quality while maintaining a joyful, dreamy mood throughout bringing you to those unique, encapsulating moments on the dance floor. They feature rich, dreamy synths and pads, driving but groovy lows, and flawlessly placed highs to create a truly immersive state of euphoria.

For Brett’s contribution to the series he has brought his own production sound to his mix. Expect to be taken on a journey of highs, lows and everything in between in the form of deep, dreamy and euphoric 4/4 grooves and breaks.

We hope you enjoy!

To kick off our mix series, Bristol-based Faery (@freyacaldwell) joins us with 1.5hrs of unconventional trance and dark psychedelic techno. With plenty of off-kilter, intoxicating sounds in her sets, it's  no surprise that she has landed herself a monthly residency at Bristol's @1020radio. Lock in to experience the dreamy haze she creates with her mixes.

"This mix is an antidote for gloomy winter days. A smorgasbord of wiggly 90s techno, swirly trance and pummelling psy-trance; these are the tunes that have been keeping me feeling spritely even during the darkest days. I hope this mix helps you dance your way joyously into 2021!"
