The concept of this mix is inspired by the artistic technique of chiaroscuro, a term rooted in the Italian words for light (chiaro) and dark (scuro). Chiaroscuro is a style that plays with the contrast between light and shadow, creating depth and drama in visual art. Similarly, this mix explores the dynamic interplay between contrasting elements in sound. As the mix unfolds, it moves through phases of intensity and calm, darkness and light, harsh textures and smooth rhythms. Each transition mirrors the gradual shift from shadow to light, capturing the essence of chiaroscuro in an auditory landscape. The dark, brooding basslines and haunting melodies serve as the "shadows," while the brighter, more uplifting elements cut through like "light," bringing balance and intrigue to the overall experience.
The mix’s energy comes from this contrast, creating a journey that feels both tense and uplifting—like moving through a twilight world where every moment hovers between darkness and light. Hopefully this helps listeners connect with the mix on a deeper level.

Thank you ! The way I build a radio show is slightly different from how I prepare for a live show, though both share the common thread of creating a narrative or storyline. I have a deep obsession with discovering new music, constantly searching for tracks I haven't heard before. I dig through platforms like Bandcamp and Discogs, and working for the bookings and programming at Venue MOT, where I spend most weekends, exposes me to a wide variety of music that I often Shazam. A radio mix, for me, is essentially a curated compilation of my favorite tracks discovered that month. When preparing for a live show, however, I have to consider factors like set time, the venue, and the rest of the lineup. My process involves going through my music library and organising tracks into different folders, always with a clear direction in mind for where I want to take the audience.

The tunnel is a magical stage and im very grateful to have been asked to play the Saturday late afternoon set, before one of my biggest electronic-music inspirations, voices from the lake. I took the opportunity, considering the impeccable programming, open minded crowd, and perfect soundsystem to play a more slow building, delicate festival set - which felt very true to my real taste, and an homage to many of my deepest and longest standing inspirations. Thank you so much to the entire Draaimolen team for the trust.. and for the other worldly reality you have created in this very special festival. - Kia

We welcome Nak to the space•cast, a Melbourne-based selector who caught our ear after we went down a rabbit hole of her mind melting mixes. Honestly, there's no better way to pass a day than listening to all of Isabel's mixes in a row, so begin with this one and then work backwards for a sonic exploration like no other.

Isabel said of her space•cast: "this is my take on a classic Australian doof as the sun sets and things get weirder and wigglier.. lots of deep, liquid-y, soaring grooves that I’ve been playing out lots recently 🌀"

space•cast 023 by Nak, Enjoy!

@priori-ties mix begins and ends with a gentle embrace, prowling seductively with dub-driven grooves before retreating into the ether like dusk yielding to dawn. Consistently in motion, but never in haste. Don’t miss the lion’s roar. 

The jewelry released with this mix is inspired by Priori’s fascination with labyrinths. Priori feels like mazes and labyrinths were omnipresent in youth literature and movies but hey rarely encounter them in culture these days.
