Rotterdam talent @nelly_dj for the newest contribution to the series, with a mix inspired by warm summer days in the city. Creativity is the tool Nelly uses to process, understand and cope with the world. She finds solace in forest walks as much as she does on darkened dance floors and losing herself in these moments allows her to reset, reflect and become re-inspired. 

With an intricate, developing journey from trip-hop, to deep techno, ambient, trance, dub and beyond, Nelly's world building approach has a certain pensive beauty to it.. perfectly fitting for the series.

Thanks again Mei :)

Beatrice M. présente Bait avec Sub Basics (100% production mix) - 05 Février 2025

For her may show, Bambi invites Prague-based DJ Marie Pravda, with an hour of psychedelics blending gems.

﻿Based in Prague, @yomomsmokescrack has been shaking up the Czech club scene with her fearless, genre-blurring selections as well as her DIY spirit. As a resident at lovely @ankali , she knows how to take a dancefloor on a deep, mental ride.

"This one starts off slow—real slow," she says. "I wanted to create a journey that takes its time, building layer by layer until it hits that deep, psychedelic techno zone. It’s a reminder that, just like in life, the best things don’t happen right away. If you’re patient, the payoff is worth it."

Bambi invite Marie Pravda - 29 Mai 2025

Animalia's natural evolution into new regions & sounds comes with the introduction of @sub-basics to the label. For the first iteration in a new series of releases by the London based artist, Sub Basics brings his signature blend of minimal UK bass, with prismatic percussion loops & spaced out, psychedelic grooves, meeting a tech-house adjacent score that underpins the release.

Immersive yet functional, the release is versatile by nature, timely and fitting for both the autumnal shift in the northern hemisphere, and the welcoming of spring in Australia.

Artist: Sub Basics (London, UK)
Title: Wavelengths
Format: 12” / Digi
Distributed by: Clone (Rotterdam, NL) 
Artwork & Design by Josh Abramovici, (New York, USA)
Mastered by Jason Goz, Transition Mastering (London, UK)

Animalia would like to acknowledge that whilst all tracks were produced in the UK, the label itself operates on the traditional land of the Woiwurrung & Wurundjeri peoples of the Kulin Nation, and pay respect to their elders past, and present. Sovereignty was never ceded.

A "techno" sound so unique, modern & boundary pushing, it makes you question the genre entirely. Agonis has become known for his bass, techno, dub, idm-everything.. infused releases, always meticulous and full of surprises. On top of a an extremely reliable and exciting back-catalogue of music and always on-point curation of Amenthia alongside his label co-head Garcon, he is also an incredible DJ.

Animix One Hundred & Seventy Nine: Agonis

• Crescent Textures #137 • Marie Pravda

The mix was recorded at the last Planeta Pravda at Planeta Za / Ankali, a night Marie will remember as one of magic - surrounded by close friends and kindred spirits, each of them receiving exactly what they needed. The space was shaped by patience, understanding, and a willingness to truly listen. What ended that night will echo into every tomorrow.

When Marie Pravda settles into a DJ booth, she’s there to spark some chemistry with those willing to embrace it. While she is perfectly capable of generating similar energy in her recordings for the online world, it’s the endless push and pull with the physical crowd that charges her selection and mixing.

Developing into an avid digger during long shifts in gloomy basements and online, the Prague-based DJ and DIY promoter took the Czech scene by storm with her savage take on a growing range of club music – whether from her trippy or dance folders. In 2020 she joined the resident collective of Ankali & Planeta Za, where she runs her regular Planeta Pravda club series.

Marie has contributed episodes to numerous online radios and mix series for both club and non-club outlets. She recorded mixes for Knekelhuis, hereandthere, Galactic Funk, and appeared on online broadcasts of NTS, Hör, Mutant, Kiosk, Operator, and many more.

From 2021 to 2023, she was a member of the artist roster of Gravity Network, an international initiative for club culture exchange in Europe and beyond.

the 11th entry in our series come from a dear friend and label regular, Toronto based musician and DJ - @ciel_dj

Words from the artist :

"little sounds in huge expansive spaces"

This mix was my musical extrapolation of this quote. As I put together the tracks in the mix, the idea of small sounds in big spaces became more metaphysical, as a metaphor for memory and nostalgia. Small, seemingly insignificant events in our past can expand in significance over time, informed by our experiences later on in life, and with our emotions acting as a tool of reverberation, extending their presence in our lives far past their time of occurrence. What begun as a process of selecting tracks that quite literally feature "small sounds in big spaces" soon morphed into a dig into my distant past, to nearly 20 years ago when I first started learning to DJ. I pulled from the mnml tracks that had an important influence on my formative years, their impact can still be heard in the contemporary tracks I play today, all of them bouncing next to each other in this nearly 2hr musical collage.

Sub Basics - Noise Floor

Madrid's F-on is a much beloved figure within the Spanish scene, known for his elegant all-vinyl sets and curation behind the brilliant Alpenglühen label among so much more. We stayed in touch after his particularly beautiful set at 2017’s Paral·lel Festival, and I've been looking forward to one day sharing this episode of the series since. Alfonso’s mix is uncanny in its precision and demonstrates a prowess behind the decks that few can match, a soft palette built through veteran and timeless selection. Two hours in and out of focus like rippling dust through which the flow of time slows, a stasis in the stream. Thanks Alfonso!
