Rings Around Saturn ( @rdjm0 ) aka Rory McPike presents number ninety two. Rory has been a pillar of the Melbourne scene for almost a decade, having released music under various aliases including Dan White with dreamy dnb, Bleekman with glitchy minimal, and of course his current project, an incredible blend of electro, breaks and tempo spanning sounds. 

With releases on labels including Butter Sessions, Paper Cuts, brokntoys, and Pure Space, the evolution of his sound is a poignant representation of the ebbs and flows of Melbourne's sound. He also DJs and plays live - his live set at Inner Varnika this year was a huge standout for me.

Thanks again for the mix Rory <3

Animix Ninety Two: Rings Around Saturn

These field recordings listen to the sound of unceded and sacred land. I pay my respects to the Dharug people, the Gundungurra people, the Gunaikurnai people, the Boon Wurrung people, the Wurundjeri people, the Djab Wurrung and the Jardwardjali people as the Traditional Custodians of these lands, seas, skies, ecosystems, and waterways which I have been so honoured to bear witness to, listen to, and pass through.

The Lilac Island in Space is inhabitable only by auditory imagination. An ecosystem shrouded in nostalgia, memory, and all shades of purple. The original recordings from this space were destroyed in an unprecedented collision between microchip and wooden-floorboard. Now existing only as an artifact in my mind, I aim to retrace my footsteps and return to a place of past, present, and future. I hope you make your own trail to follow on this island, and find your own nook to explore.

Perhaps I’ll see you, perhaps I won’t.

Please do leave a note somewhere in your travels for the next person to find.

babyxxan - passing (out)

Raised in the underground music scene of Buenos Aires, recent years have seen Blume (@keinblume) continue to hone her vision in Europe - first in Amsterdam and now Berlin. With a complex approach to beat programming, hip-hop inspired use of samples and a melding of odd melodies and experimental textures, her sets are distinctive, technical and enthralling in equal measure. 

A passionate contributor to the scene, Blume hosts the bi-monthly show "The Otherness" on @noodsradio, and runs the record store Format Wars, which provides her with another channel to express her unique tastes - from lavish ambient to bracing jungle and beyond. Originally a digital shop, Format Wars will move into a physical space in early December 2022. 

Blume’s Patterns of Perception 104 is an homage to a multitude of formative moments in Berlin: indelible, visceral musical experiences that have shaped her vision and being. 
Crystal clear reflections of hazy sequences in which the unexpected became the norm. An emotional connection of disparate times as unfettered energy warps into mind-bending experimentation. Sharp polyrhythms expanding out of mesmerising, high-speed techno trips. Endless energy and motion. 
This mix reflects the feeling and eclecticism of odd Berlin nights - the discovery, the euphoria and the memories that never die.

We´re closing the month with 2 sets recorded live at Perpendicular Festival last May plus a live performance by Ameeva performed at Espacio Perpendicular the next week.
Every year in a forest  In the centre of Spain there is a private meeting limited to 180 people with the same purpose as Espacio Perpendicular: the pure enjoyment of underground music. The first live act is by STBL, a wonderful journey that explores subtle ambient territories; after him, Paduan, resident dj at Into the universes parties in Amsterdam, and regular one at Balamii radio in London, carries out a well-driven drone and experimental ambient set. The last hour is for a live performance by Ameeva. A delicate and smooth journey with gentle and hidden melodies, field recordings and ASMR voices
