@Moopie joins us for the mix series this week. Beijing-born, Melbourne-based, the A Colourful Storm label founder and NTS Radio resident has fast become one of dance music's most hotly tipped DJ's. Recent b2b's with the likes of Helena Hauff and Ben UFO attest to his serious pedigree. For DIM 296, we find Moopie in groovy form, running an array of lush house and breaks over 65-minutes.

For the 20th installment in our Digest series we're pleased to present a mix we’ve wanted to record for a long time between Dan from Seven Hills and Matt C from @linalerecords

In the early to mid 90’s amongst the experimentation and flurry of creativity in electronic music there was a sub-genre emerging in the midsts of the fast-paced euphoria and Goa sounds of the southwestern Indian coast. A branch of downtempo which had the psychedelia of trance, the grooves and deepness of trip-hop, and the futurism and weirdness of IDM.

Appearing as occasional one-offs at the end of an album or on the B-sides of much faster records, these tracks were often overlooked, they didn't fit easily into typical trance sets and it seemed the intention was more for home listening. 10+ mins of runtime wasn’t unusual, which was time for the music to breathe and develop into something really special.

We think some of the best music of the era was in this halfway point between lounge music and dance, it was a way for producers to experiment with music not fully intended for the dance-floor. This intersection of dub, breakbeats, ambient, and experimental music led to some really interesting sounds, which we wanted to showcase here with this mix.

Just under 2 hours of downtempo experimentation, including some of our all-time favourites from the last 30 or so years. This is our music for acid trips, the ends of long days and nights, the after-party after the after-party. Also includes some newer bits that we think have the right attitude!

Seven hours recorded from the all night b2b between Christoffer aka C.K and myself. There isn't a lot of recordings from marathon sets up online, so thought this would be a nice one to share for those of you who like a long uninterrupted ride.

C.K and I are both from Denmark, and our friendship goes a long way back. We worked together on a vinyl only podcast in the late 00's on blogspot.com for those of you who remember those times digging through blogs and Myspace. Since then C.K has been producing amazing records and doing fantastic mixes on his Safe Radio series (highly recommended!) as well as help the local scene with a wonderful voluntary-run venue 'Super' in the city of Aarhus in Denmark.

It has been a long enjoyable ride to run my label Delaphine for 10 years, a ride of surprises, and this night was a such a ride as well. A fun back-to-back ping pong of followups, layups, and curve balls. We hope you enjoy the ride.

Thanks to the always amazing Aether Club team that consistently throughout the years have provided such an amazing space for electronic music in the heart of Budapest.

For the first hour of this episode of Released Control we are stoked to have the very talented producer & DJ E-Talking live on the show, playing some of the finest Cosmic Trance and Progressive House tunes, including some unreleased tracks and obscure 90s gems. Followed by a one-hour mix by radio host Eclectic Elektra, who selected some of her favorite new and old school House and Prog records.

One half of French duo Nummer alongside long-time friend and partner-in-crime Silvère Letellier, Emmanuel Corre has begun a new chapter in his musical career under the moniker of E-Talking. Inaugurating that new path, his debut instalment as E-Talking came through the high-flying Blue Series of London's finest, AD93.

Released as a split in 2018, “Téléphone Rose” marked a shift from Nummer’s compositions but no betrayal towards their respective aspirations. A full-fledged left-of-centre club weapon designed to swash in the club with unrelenting novelty effect, the track makes for a ravishingly disparate patchwork of Emmanuel’s influences, from blazing, acid-informed electronics to bassy deconstructionism, via revamped house and techno tropes.

Emmanuel’s formative years at London’s reputed record store, Kristina Records, helped him forge the distinctive, all-embracing approach that can be felt through his sets and material, as made further obvious on his maiden full-length from 2021 for Going Good, “Techno Man’s Land”.

Mapping his own route at large from normative barricades, E-Talking has been gathering momentum with his latest EP “The Cosmic Egg” released in September 2023 on Paramida’s Love On The Rocks imprint. In the wake of his acclaimed two-year residency on Rinse France and in parallel to regular appearances on HÖR, Emmanuel’s line of action is just about to reveal in all its glorious scope and scale, so better keep your ear to the ground.

Have a little squiz at our next guest of the series. All the way from the dusty depths of the outback, @pistaccio finds itself on a good wicket by not only having participated in our inaugural release, but also joining the roster for our Hot Series. Originally from Eora, Pistaccio has carved a niche within the pulsating heart of the Naarm music community, showcasing his talents through his monthly contributions on Skylab Radio and his behind-the-scenes involvement with Colour Club and Lost Properties. A skilled DJ and producer, Oren's work blends spaciousness and energy, evoking a sense of familiarity while bringing something fresh.

For the next hour, Pistaccio charges like a wounded bull, showcasing his 90’s & 00s influences from artists like Jay Tripwire, Rob Paine and the Wiggle crew. Grab yourself a glass as the Eora native delivers a beautifully mixed cocktail of dubby, bouncing and playful tracks to get you going; shaken, not stirred. This mix is dedicated to Mach 1; a little doof on the fringes of Melbourne that unfortunately got cancelled due to the fiery wrath of a bushfire. Pistaccio will be crossing the pond over to Europe this summer to get a taste of the Euro experience, so make him feel at home, will ya?
