Enjoy demented tribal pop before locking into a psychedelic hypnotic groove designed to warm your soul.
So let your eyes shut and mind get all exploratory as you D ance M y T rip.

This has some of my favourite older tracks on it.... with deluxe breakdowns :)  I mixed it without planning any of it - selecting tracks that I loved with a minute to spare. I actually thought it was no good, and didn't listen to it for a month or so.  Then I heard it and thought it really reflected me!  Now it's one of my favourites. 

Mixed on turntables.

Katharine - Dance My Trip - Motion:Theory:Music

Quite an euphoric house mix - made a long time ago...

Garden speakers required.

Pick a cloud, an obvious looking shape on a non-windy day, then
visualise yourself rubbing it out.  See the blue sky taking over where the cloud used to be.  Don't waste energy thinking that it can't work, just mentally rub rub run away.  It doesn't take long. Enjoy watching your mental powers manifest in the material world: C L O U D B U R S T I N G !!

Katharine - A Collective Future Closing Set - EleMental - Motion:Theory:Music

Playing at the Comfort Zone festival at Comfort Creek was fantastic.  There was an amazingly loved up relaxed crowd to play with, & the the sun had just come out for the first time in 3 days.

The set time was 1-2:30 so I made sure I set a vibe for the afternoon and evening with a concoction of twisted disco, euphoria & minimal lusciousness.   Playing on the third day of a festival is a lot of fun.

Thankyou Comfort Zone crew for appreciating my take on minimal.

Quite a few people have asked me for this set, & several of the tracks sparked attention, so here you are! I didn't have a recorder, so from my pre & post-set scribbles I mixed it again jumping around at home with my children.  It was a fun experience to relive (understatement.)

Katharine - Vibe:Rate - Motion:Theory:Music

This is one of my favourite mixes.   
The music is over 6 years old & came together in an unplanned session.

If you like the way it makes you think & feel, the depths it hints at, the warmth it generates, then do enjoy my other sets from over the years too.... *vibration:appreciation*

Mixed on turntables with timecode vinyl.  

I originally made it for the Romanian Podcast Series ART E.  The series was curated by Sabina Muller who had gathered a great collection of artists. 

It had lots of hearts which made me feel pretty loved up x

*Vadim Svoboda of Makesense about my Rupert Wall mix:  "GREAT MIX Katharine, I have nothing to say but: tight, personal, varied but very homogenous... top notch."  

*Feeder Sound Romania: “her recordings are intense and with a sophisticated perspective on sounds and rhythms." 

Sublime sounds and hypnotic grooves stimulate her being, compelling her to source and mix, creating a micro, minimal, soul-stirring experience she calls astral:house. Those who crave nourishing sonic sessions have followed Katharine’s journey along the Australian East Coast alongside her musical partner Ben Abrahams for over two decades as they’ve influenced the scene with their exciting taste & consistent delivery of stimulating underground house & techno, both in clubs & outdoors. 

Together they created ‘Strange Brew’, an all ages acid-house vinyl party at the Billinudgel Pub, Byron Bay, at which time the infamous 'Shed' was built;  revelling in the Outback for sunset was deliciously surreal, dancing to stripped back house grooves amongst the gum trees. 

They ran eight extremely memorable years of Saturday nights at Elsewhere Bar on the Gold Coast. Katharine played psychedelic house before Ben's killer 5 hour sets, then both joined together for the heaving sweaty early morning hours.  Elsewhere won Best Music for a Club in Australia at the Sydney Bar Music Awards at that time. All vinyl back then.

Katharine had the first of her two children before returning to Melbourne and putting on high-vibe parties at the infamous Killing Time Bar & My Aeon,  always with a tight crew of Australia’s best underground djs.  

Katharine made mixes for Art-E Romania and the Microtechno Podcast series 9 years ago, having long been recognised for her way with intricate sounds, particularly with lovers of micro-house & the Romanian influenced minimal.  She appreciates music which alludes to the transcendent - both gently & powerfully.  As an undeniably charged up being she just keeps on lovingly creating fresh soundtracks for her friends’ lives. Last year she made 21 mixes for amazing collectives around the world, including Half is Enough Romania's Strangers in the Night: each session is an experience. 

Her unique way elevates and deeply satisfies at both sunset & sunrise, and she has played magical closing sets out in the forest, most recently for the Comfort Zone crew on their final day on the main stage by the creek. 

Find her playing at Killing Time Bar, at Motion:Theory parties & for local crews (Subterrania, Synergy, Cable, Over & Mood Pilot), but experience her anytime through the Motion:Theory mix series and the sessions she makes for collectives who appreciate her taste and storytelling ability: 
it’s LUSH MINIMAL for the dancefloor.
