It's been a long time since I posted a mix but after a [mostly] enjoyable battle I was finally able to put something together that I'm really happy with and excited to share.

I had wanted to do something a little slower for a long long time but never managed to see it through. Then about about 4 weeks ago I decided to dedicate myself to the task and spent a few hours each day over a weekend going through all of my records, picking out anything that I could get to roughly the speed I wanted and then tried to figure it out from there. And try I did. The end result, I hope you'll agree, is a slow burning backroom teaser for those looking to escape the madness of the main room and spend a little quality time with their strange uncle Slagbat. A cheeky stomper, you might say.

I would also like to give a big ups to my amazing friends who over the last 12 months recommended some of the albums that I found tracks on for this this mix. Also a big bark out to The House of Dog for being the best darn record shop/dog house there is.

The artwork I found online by https://www.deviantart.com/dietrock.

Born and grown in Melbourne/Naarm, Lily is now based in Canberra/Ngunnawal. 
Lily has been dj''ing for a few years around Melbourne and sometimes alongside @lizzy-nice - I'll never forget their iconic set at the Tabula Rasa side stage over New Years last year!

Animix One Hundred & Two: Lily July

The beginning of a journey is never the same. Sometimes what happens in between can direct you to a similar path however it is those incidents that take you off course which make things more exciting. Not knowing what to expect and where you might end up can be challenging but if you follow your intuition and feel your way to the right place, the final destination is always worth the wait.

The Other Side 63, Lyl radio 13/12/22

One of the minds behind the inimitable NYC record label @inciensorecs, DJ'J aka @jennyslattery is a curator at heart, carefully sculpting the look, feel and sound of the label she began with Anthony Naples back in 2017 while establishing her own blueprint as a top-tier selector of deep dance rhythms from around the globe. She's also one of the three DJs behind the wonderful @down-2-earth mix series, a local music hub with a heavy focus on emerging talent from New York City and beyond.

Immerse yourself in hour of chunky grooves and mysterious moods with plenty of freshly sliced cuts from the Incienso inner sanctum alongside some bonafide UKG and rave nostalgia!

My Recorder was totally distorted in the beginning and I honestly thought the recording did not work but the limiter kicked in after 20 minutes so  here is my set from 20 minutes in, opening Room 1. I am humbled to have been part of such an high quality festival. Thanks to @steevio , Suzybee and everyone that made it such a unique experience. Photo by Saki Yamada and visuals by Hippiezilla.

Room 1 at Freerotation 2019

The former home of Jagger and the Bat and now here lives only the Bat (living in different continents will do that to a DJ duo). But worry not all the old Jagger and the Bat mixes are here as well as my own solo outings not to mention all of the old Arthouse podcasts ready for you to get your greasy mits on. Have at it.
