Maara’s latest effort comes straight from the inner zone. Whether meant for use as vision quest guidance or club hedonism, Fancy Feast continues the Canadian’s tradition of crafting seductive, trance-inducing dance music in mesmeric fashion. 

‘Can’t Slo Down’ is a vehicle for transcendence. Locked-in, hypnotic fare with subtle gear shifts consistent with Maara’s propensity towards trippy atmospherics and urgent dancefloor dynamics. Then, in a heady alloy of ritual throb and fractal warehouse ruffness, ‘Highrollerz’ finds Maara at her most propulsive. 

Prog reigns supreme across the record, but 'Princess Express' has the third-eye dilating magick in full effect. It’s both fractal and functional, a ritual incantation with rugged appeal. ‘Rude, Crude & Out Of Control’, on the other hand, harks back to those halcyon days of the free party movement. Proper breakbeat torque with yet another healthy dose of prog.

Maara - Fancy Feast | Kalahari Oyster Cult (OYSTER41)

This strictly limited vinyl release is the 5th release to come out of Naarm based label ILIO Records - a label which has housed artists Midnight Tenderness, Mic Mills, DJ Heure and more.

Titled ‘Mood Independent’, this 4 track EP comes from rising Naarm artist Marli. A stunning solo project which exudes 4 different motifs, 4 different genres, and 4 different moods entirely. An artist who has showcased powerhouse sets at Let Them Eat Cake’s main stage, Pitch Music & Arts iconic Pitch Black Stage, and Novel’s signature smalltown event, this release comes highly anticipated.
‘Mood Independent’ is dance music made to make you feel something. - Marli

Written during Melbourne’s extensive lockdown in 2021, the EP explores genres house, breakbeat, nu-jazz, experimental, incorporates spoken word poetry, and Marli’s own vocals. While it dips its toes into being defined as dance music, as always, Marli has executed her signature style beautifully, one that offers more than your average club track. It evokes complex emotions, featuring rich tones and instrumentation, and a sense of nostalgia unlike any other artist.

“Mood Independent” feels like an apt title for this project. I’m proud to have curated, written, produced, and mixed the entire project myself. I didn’t show these works to anyone while writing them - or for a long time after they were finished. Mainly because I wanted to trust my own creative instincts so completely, and not be influenced by others opinions. This was really scary, and at times made me insecure, but I’m really proud of the final project, and I think it feels like the truest expression of me, and my style” - Marli

Having released works on Yellow Island (BRA), Love Above Records (AUS), Backpocket Slammers (AUS), Revolver Upstairs The Late Show Record Label (AUS) and forthcoming releases on Homage (NY) and Velodrome (AUS), this highly anticipated debut EP and record is a stunning introduction into the breadth and maturity of work that Marli exudes when left to her own devices to create freely.

PREMIERE : Marli - Mood Independent

Beautiful blends of half speed, wobbles & sublime sounds from young n fresh local Nak ( @isabel-nak ). Having only DJ'd for the last year, Isabel's skills suggest otherwise -- this mix showing off her pure class taste.

Deep broken beats, IDM & bass influenced chuggers are the theme here, however in her DJ sets she has been known to explore tasteful prog, fast and  higher energy rollers. Looking forward to watch Nak grow and flourish in the Naarm scene over the next while :) 

Thanks again for the mix Isabel!

Billus - Shifting Sands EP (ANIMA6)

A special one for #114 from a dear friend and renowned but noble talent, Montreal based @priori-ties. Head of the ever-impressive NAFF output (@naffrecordings), world class DJ & chameleon producer, he is constantly working on something new and exciting.. never missing a beat. 

One would only have to indulge in Priori's impressive back catalogue to attest to his consistent quality but evolution of style and creative flow. Seeing Francis play multiple times on his recent tour to Australia really cemented all of this for me.- one of the best in the biz! 

Thanks so much for being part of the series Francis <3

Maara’s out to make mischief with the wryly titled ‘Hear Me Neigh’.  

Whether that title’s in reference to a certain equine dissociative or purely a love letter to our majestic, four-legged friends, well, we’ll leave that for you to decide. Either way, the prolific prog house luminary lends her Midas touch to four equally deadly traxxx.  
Following last year’s ‘Fancy Feast’ EP comes another proper dose of heads-down hedonism. It’s an eagerly-awaited return to the Kalakari fold, and true to form, opener ‘The Horse Track’ comes hurtling into the first furlong at full pelt. Big equestrian NRG packing some seriously rugged heft and neighing samples aplenty. Then, bringing more of that insistent throb, ‘Juicy Tracksuit’ is no less alluring or propulsive, albeit while channelling some Y2K aesthetic.   

There’s more of that turn-of-the-century flex on the next one too. Evoking Love Parade circa 1999, ‘God Save The Bender’ deploys scything hard trance flourishes while opening a portal to the fractal realm. And finally, ‘Sheela Na Gig’ lands dripping with more of the seductive appeal that has become Maara’s hallmark.
