DJ Mixes

This mix is inspired by the Japanese practice of Shinrin-Yoku, or "Forest Bathing". I find this to be such a beautiful concept. It is something that has helped me a lot in my life. There is also a rich and deep Irish mythology surrounding forests and their magical inhabitants. The mix taps into this ancient mysticism as it takes us deeper and deeper into the woods.

✈ To celebrate this new episode, we are proud and delighted to welcome British-New Zealand DJ, producer : KEEPSAKES

Keepsakes, the alias of British-New Zealand producer and DJ James Barrett, has been a strong and distinctive voice in techno since rising to fame through his Stygian Concrete Works and Weapons Grade Manic EPs back in 2014. Since then he has showcased his powerful and menacing, yet often cheeky and playful, productions on influential labels including Boys Noize Records, Turbo Recordings, KAOS/OAKS, Perc Trax, South London Analogue Material, MORD, and Earwiggle.

Furthermore, he founded the Haven club night alongside Jaded Nineties Raver in Tāmaki Maraukau, Aotearoa (Auckland, New Zealand) in 2015 - aiming to introduce clubbers to the experimental and harder side of techno in a city completely devoid of this music. In 2018 Haven also expanded into a vinyl-focused record label - going on to release many leading international artists including VTSS, Tommy Holohan, New Frames, Peder Mannerfelt, Ayarcana, Ansome, and Ryan James Ford, as well as becoming the main home for Barrett’s own productions.

Now located in Ōtautahi, Aotearoa (Christchurch, New Zealand) - following several years living in Berlin hitting the European club circuit - he is focused on bringing his tough and eclectic sound to dance floors worldwide, with regular appearances at international techno institutions providing a platform for his formidable DJ sets.

PARADOX PODCAST #194 -- KEEPSAKES

Swarm Intelligence.
Sound - heavy, fractured, alive.
Techno, broken beats, industrial pressure. Music that feels more like a system breathing than a track playing.

Across his releases, the thread is clear: dense textures, distorted rhythm, a sense of collapse and rebirth. Machines cracking, but moving forward.
Each record a snapshot of tension. Bass that drills, atmospheres that hover, percussion that cuts.

Swarm Intelligence isn’t about comfort. It’s about immersion.
Step in, enjoy this episode and let the noise swallow you.

The following year, he released the Seperator EP (2022), a six-track project that delves into experimental industrial noise, featuring tracks like "Klepsimo" and "Piperi," which highlight his ability to blend traditional motifs with contemporary electronic production.
Beyond his solo work, ANFS has contributed remixes for various artists and participated in compilations, such as his track "Amete" featured on the V/A release by Analogue.
