On 14th April 2023 the European Space Agency’s JUICE (Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer) mission launched to make detailed observations of the giant gas planet and its three large ocean-bearing moons. The year is 2031, the mission is in orbit around one of the moons and transmits frequencies back to Earth, received from beneath the ice capped oceans of Callisto.

The mix begins with a NASA recording from an original CD; Jupiter - NASA-Voyager Space Sounds, which includes excerpts from NASA Voyager I & II on their flyby of Jupiter in 1979. Also included near the beginning of the mix is an ambient number from Dana Kelley, well known for his releases under aliases Callisto and DKMA, and who sadly passed away in 2013. RIP to a true innovator.

In March, I had the privilege of playing at a festival in Colombia called Bonanza; located at the fantastic El Rio Hostel, Buritaca. It was a very unique experience partying in such a remote location with a stellar line up. Great music and programming, lovely and approachable crowd, amazing food and all round great energy.

My family is of Chinese origin and immigrated when my parents were both really young. My siblings and I were all born in The Netherlands. Due to growing up in predominantly white environments, the feeling of connection to my ethnicity was not always that obvious and at times not even desirable to me. Now that I’m getting older, I started to actively seek ways to reconnect with the culture of my ancestors in many different ways: through language, music, food, and people for example. Where I would once be afraid and ashamed to be associated with aspects from my culture, I now experience a sense of deep guttural connection, pride, and protectiveness. With the percussive tracks I selected for this mix, I hope to convey that sense of pride.

This mix was inspired by late summer night walks to the club, as the sun goes down and the excitement for the night ahead building - or those final hours of sun at a festival when the anticipation for what’s ahead is at it’s peak. It’s a collection of records I’ve been enjoying a lot this summer and ones you’ll hear a lot in my coming festival sets. Both for early hours and late night missions.

Chrysalism is the feeling of amniotic tranquility of being inside during a rainstorm, listening to waves of rain pattering against the roof like an argument upstairs, whose muffled words are unintelligible but whose crackling release of built-up tension you understand perfectly.

This is a love story from a festival rather than a club, but at Houghton last year I was helped by a girl whilst looking for a friend in the crowd.

I was in a club for halloween and someone said that one of the reasons she loves electro so much is because it is very easy to build your own narrative in your head around the tracks. It is pretty applicable to genres but I liked how it related to some of my favourite records…So I’ve compiled a mix of records vintage and new, relating to the idea of how electro can generate internal narratives, specifically focusing on the more ambient leaning, smoother sound.

This was actually my first 3 hour set, so I knew I wanted to use the time to showcase the different sounds / tempos / styles I love, the challenge is always making it all work together.

My set time was 2.30-5.30am so I sort of saw it as a bit of a warm up and a bit of a peak time and a bit of a closing all in one, so wanted to cover more fun peak time bass-y bits, fast wormholey half time & then some deeper dubstep for the end. This excerpt is from the fast wormholey section. 

+ 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐤𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐛𝐨𝐱 / 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐚 𝐠𝐢𝐠?
I used to really plan out my sets but i’ve got a lot better at being less prepared over the past year or so, I now tend to prep for multiple gigs as I go by creating an ‘ideas’ playlist for each gig & dragging tracks into it when i come across them. Then when the gig gets closer to the time I go through the playlist & refine the tracks into themes or speeds.

Having everything broken up into themes really helps me keep some structure / narrative. I like to always have a rough end point / goal to get to, especially for longer or deeper sets such as closing.

With my records I try to do the same thing & pack them in order of when I might play them throughout the night. Trying to get better at taking my records with me as I v much got out of the habit.

+ 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐬𝐞𝐭𝐬 / 𝐦𝐢𝐱𝐞𝐬 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐝𝐨 𝐚 𝐥𝐨𝐭?
Yes definitely, I only really get anxious for a gig when I struggle to settle on a theme / vibe. This tends to only happens for gigs where I’m a little unsure of where I fit musically though. If it’s a gig the theme is usually focussed on location / set time - so a deep / dubby warm up or a sexy peak time or maybe a deep & wiggly closing.

When recording mixes I try to imagine in what setting I'd probably listen to them.  This one was made to fit my evening journeys when the sun has set but there’s still some lingering twilight. I aimed for both old and new records that were mysterious or deep, keeping the tempo low(ish) and the energy measured.

I grew up with parents that were in musical theater and dance, so I've always been surrounded by a family that enjoys this and encourages participation.  As a kid, courtesy of my dad, I listened to a lot of disco, funk, soul, reggae and rock, which definitely plays some part in what I'm drawn to. I got into various forms of electronic music probably during secondary school and then when university came around I got exposed to a lot more Techno through friends and being a regular partygoer in Leeds.  I had the luxury of finding an amazing group of mates who were all interested in the same thing, which really helped to encourage searching for records and Djing.  We would all mess around playing long b2bs together which really inspired me and developed my sound.  These days, I’m working as a buyer for Juno Records in Camden which has really expanded my knowledge of music and introduced me to so much more.

It came from my relationship with dreaming. We don't realize that we spend half our lives unconscious, dreaming, growing and the majority of us don't actually remember our dreams. I do!!! I remember them so well that I feel like they are another life for me, another world nip into creating but sometimes having no control over. I wake up daily confused or affected in some sort of way whether that is positive or negative. I believe they speak to us or remind us of another force out there, accessing that part of our brain and the universe we are longing for. Mixes or sets are quite like dreams, going on a transcendent journey unsure of what to expect. The weird subconscious worries we latch onto or deep desires in us and that’s what I wanted to create with this, a two hour mix inspired by those intricate and bitter sweet emotions starting slow with parts of chaos in there. It’s all connected ~~~

I grew up in a very musical household. Both my parents and family were music heads. They were very young when they had me so I grew up in a young adults home with their friends and our family around :) My dad especially, being Jamaican, was a huge lover of dancehall, bashment, jungle & Rnb. My Mum introduced me to pop, triphop and rnb and I was surrounded by cds, records and videos, having a small collection of my own when I was like 7/8, I still collect Cds today. I remember my parents used to have small gatherings at our house when I was a kid and invite friends and family around and there would be loud music playing through huge sound system speakers in the backroom…. I was so involved and curious and it stuck with me! As a DJ and producer I now look for that nostalgic feeling and emotion in music. I like sensual rhythms and deep groovy kicks and drums, kind of like in rnb or dancehall. I think because of how eclectic my musical childhood was has given me more of an open minded outlook when playing or listening to music. I like all genres and usually play a mixture of them creating my own sound with a few tracks from different genre families.

I wanted to show my appreciation for dancefloor-focused club music with more an emphasis on bass-heavy styles connecting the links between disparate genres to create a mix that sonically makes sense. I love Mixing genres such as Tech House & Techno whilst also playing Drill and Dubstep, there are links everywhere you just have to find them, the rest will follow.

I think my earliest memories are listening to Hardcore tapes from raves my parents used to go to as well as my dad's pals mixes, my whole childhood has been electronic music. My understanding of the music came from a very wholesome place but being young and  raised in a farming town I was cut off from these scenes. Getting the chance as I've grown older to live in different cities I have jumped at the chance to experience different music scenes whether it has been in  Hull,Newcastle or now London.

I started producing about 11 years ago now, my process has changed multiple times since then. I don't come from a musical background which has been a blessing and as curse as I have found ways of making music non musically which I feel gives me an edge of approaching my productions from a unique angle. This approach is sometimes very long and frustrating but overall I can make something that sounds fresh and new to my ears and thats what I think electronic music is about at the end of the day.

Firstly, thanks to Dj wiggles for the opportunity to contribute to the Kinetic series <3

The mix is experimental and long-form, exploring ambient meditative selections as well as darker bass-heavy and textured tracks from across the bpm spectrum, with several tracks warped far from their original bpm. The pace, mood and energy fluctuate. Some tracks emerge quickly, like intrusive thoughts or distractions, others are  given more time to breathe merging into the mix more subtly. This reflects the often unpredictable and challenging nature of losing and regaining a sense of presence and control. The mix has a symbolic cyclical nature, returning to particular percussive sounds and motifs as it progresses. 

Many philosophies motivate me to DJ including the belief everything is connected to the collective and sound exists at that intersection, it is a universally connecting force that exists at the boundaries where mind and body meet the world. All creative practices are intrinsically informed by the personal experiences of their creator/s. This imbues them with narrative and gives them the potential for human connection at these boundaries. 

The title of the mix “decompression” alludes to the pursuit of emotive release. It is a response to life at present - from harrowing world events, to personal challenges and introspection. I hope people enjoy and connect with it, perhaps finding some peace of mind by its end.

I started the Fortune Sessions nights in 2019. Before then I threw a lot of house parties. When I had to move into a house unsuitable for big gatherings I began looking for a venue. 

The Fortune of War is a venue located on Brighton beach. It has an intimate dance floor space indoors for winter events and then a big outdoor space for parties in summer. It’s well-loved by locals, with a friendly and laid-back vibe. For a grassroots night it felt like the perfect fit. 

The first session went well but then Covid hit just before the second event was due to happen. I was disappointed but it gave me time to develop the aim and concept behind the events. I also acquired a better sound system to power them. The second session finally took place in March 2022 and two years on I’m preparing for the 15th!

The Fortune Sessions have always had a multi-genre format with a commitment to diversity behind the decks, and a low-key unpretentious vibe. The venue being a pub rather than a club means that the events draw a crowd of dedicated ravers as well as people just out for a good time. Not everyone who enjoys dance music vibes with the club environment, so I’m glad to be able to platform niche genres in an unintimidating space to a wider audience. The nights being free entry also means its more accessible, giving the opportunity for new musical discovery. On a few occasions I’ve been asked “what IS this music??” by people on the dancefloor.

I wanted to create something that had a vibrant, summery yet dope feeling and it just so turned out id been subconsciously collecting the right tunes to make that happen.

My first rave experiences were to the sounds of Drum n’ Bass and although I’ve strayed from the genre and now love and play other stuff, I think my non 4/4 roots come through in most things that I do. I like the versatility and experimentation of a breakbeat and feel it leaves more room to play - both behind and in front of the DJ booth.

I co-founded two projects here in Berlin, Double Trouble and FACILITATE. For Double Trouble, we do two versions of the night, one being focussed on the art of _baerchenwurst_, displayed on a backdrop of ambient music at our cute hangout spot Kwia and the other is pure party at Zur Klappe. We focus on bass music and are FLINTA so that plays a big role in the curation. I run the night together with DJ Doc and we started in December 2022. 

FACILITATE. I run together with DJ NORTHERN and we are a FLINTA Drum n’ Bass event which we started in November 2023. Both events were started to create more space for FLINTA DJ’s in the Berlin bass music scene, to make more space for bass loving queers on the dance floor and also just because we love it!

My intention with the mix was to encapsulate the more peak-time club energies that I’m consistently drawn to at the moment, and from this, the natural layering that happened with the mix is a beautiful epitome of how I experience meditation. At the start of meditating, I go through x amount of minutes weaving through thoughts, sensations, going into a few thought spirals by accident, all on a steady stream towards something. It’s like the thoughts and feelings are all catching my attention, pulling me in a bit further. And then I get to this breakthrough point where it feels like my mind has completely cleared and I have pushed past the stickiness of thoughts; which the bridge in the mix massively resembles to me. On the build to this, the tempo & rhythm is something that can be followed to this point, resembling the forwards motion taking you from your conscious mind into your subconscious mind. I had quite a profound experience of this at Positive Education late last year. I had the intention for Space Drum Meditation’s set to follow the sounds with my eyes closed and to engage with my body throughout it. The difference I felt in my mind and body afterwards is something that has stayed with me since. It struck a deeper chord on how meditative music is, if you let go and allow it to be. So this is where the concept has occurred quite naturally, where music and meditation meet in taking us somewhere beyond ourselves.

Ahead of his appearance at our label launch party next week & to celebrate his debut EP 'Trench' releasing on our label, 5RVZ steps up for our 36th podcast with a mix that perfectly showcases his unique and adventurous approach behind the decks. 

A moody, atmospheric mix that traverses slow and sludgy sounds, blended together in a way which feels more like a live performance than a DJ set - IYKYK and if not then get ready to meet your new favourite DJ.

“Screwed & Chopped” (or Chopped & Screwed) is a distinctive sub-genre of Hip-Hop that originated in Houston, Texas, created by DJ Screw. This remixing technique involves slowing down the tempo of the music to create a unique sound. Inspired by this concept, I’ve applied the same principle to a different genre, transforming tracks with an original BPM of around 170 to a more laid-back 100 BPM.

This approach embodies the essence of Hip-Hop: reimagining and remixing existing material to fit a new context. I’m a hip-hop kid at heart, I have a monthly hip-hop show (called “Beats, Rhymes & Life”) on Amsterdam’s Echobox Radio. As much as I can, I like to highlight the importance of hip-hop and the undeniable (massive) influence it has had on modern music, art, fashion and culture. The art of DJing—blending two records together—traces its roots to Hip-Hop, and without it, the evolution of dance music would be unrecognisable.

I’m a self-taught DJ. I got a pair of CDJs + mixer about 7 years ago. My style of DJ’ing is basically a result of spending endless hours in the basement of De School. I was captivated by countless DJ’s in that space over the years. I devoted time to listening with intent, observing from behind the DJ booth, analysing their techniques. Then going home experimenting and trying to figure out on my mixer how they were making certain sounds or rumbles. What emerged from this process is my own interpretation of techno mixing techniques but applying them to different styles of music. E.g. UK music. I mix drum & bass with the same precision and layering as berghain-style techno. I do a lot of layering, especially with bass lines, using 3 CDJ’s.

release date: 27th september

5RVZ’s debut EP ‘Trench’, is a darkside trip of refined DnB dynamics cultured by spiritualised sound design and the weightier ends of the hardcore continuum.  

A 4 track zone (plus one bonus track) of half time menace, threading sharp grooves with a deep techno palette. Influenced by both hip-hop & his sikh and panjabi heritage, it’s an ambitious body of work that typifies the exciting experimentation within the London club underground and exemplifies best the kinetic intention past, present and future.

This mix is something I’ve been thinking about for a while - the reemergence of low end psychedelia. I call it a reemergence as I feel like it could be linked to the trippy side of dubstep with the likes of Skull Disco and that sound coming back but on a much broader scale. I spoke about it in an interview recently as something I’ve become obsessed with, in particular this year, and I don’t really see any platforms covering it or trying to encapsulate this really exciting musical movement. Low end psychedelia can range from techno, trance, drum & bass, dubstep and more but the through line is this deep, trippy soundscape. The mix I’ve created highlights this push and pull between the slow/fast side of this sound where it ranges from 85 to 170 bpm, weaving through spacey, swampy and wonked-out techno, drum & bass and IDM. Something that’s worth mentioning is that a lot of the artists who are coming through in this scene are based in France, most notably Lyon and that’s what I want to write about and get to the bottom of, what’s the history there and what’s going on in France right now that’s influencing this movement. Some artists and labels to shout out include Christian Coiffure, Vardae, Comic Sans Records, SousTraitance, Beatrice M., Hewan Aman, Blue Night Jungle, Monochrome Records, sindh, kick21, minú jr and many more!

Ambient music was really my saviour during lockdown. I was going through my first heartbreak and living in a different country, which I moved to 6 months before the lockdown happened. There was no escaping your feelings during this time, you had to face them head on, as soon as they appeared, so I started building these playlists filled with ambient music as a way of giving myself some headspace during particularly tricky times. Or they would be what I would listen to on my ‘sanity walks’, something I still make sure I do everyday. I have such an emotional connection to this music and there was one really tough Christmas period where I decided to turn these playlists into the sounds of healing mix series - the first edition is literally the first ever playlist I made during this time and the Refuge Worldwide show was an extension of that, showing other strings of ambient music that might not necessarily fit within the ‘healing’ theme. Stating the obvious here but music is a really powerful tool for addressing emotions and this was my way of connecting with that.

After a brief hiatus, we're back with episode 38 of our mix series from Nantes based DJ and Macadam's Artistic Programmer Aasana. A beautifully organic 2 hour mix exploring an unconscious inner power, traversing ambient, breaks, techno and DnB.

For several months now, I have been taking the time to explore Clarissa Pinkola Estés’ book Women Who Run with the Wolves. She specifically discusses the notion of Rio Abajo Rio, the River beneath the river, which echoes the depths of the unconscious and the instinctive wisdom that flows within us, even when we are unaware of it. She uses this metaphor to illustrate the primal life force and feminine intuition that exist beneath the surface of our daily lives.
This underground river symbolizes natural instincts, ancestral knowledge, and creativity that continue to flow within us, even when they are sometimes stifled by social or personal pressures. A book that is both inspiring and unsettling, as it deeply resonates with my life’s quest today.

This set is a search for reconnection with Rio Abajo Rio, a journey toward my purest and deepest essence—my inner power—in order to reclaim my intuitive nature.

From a purely aesthetic perspective, this set is woven with Ambient, Techno, Breaks, Abstract, and D’n’B sounds, all tied together by a percussive and organic universe.

"I have been immersed in music since I was a child. My parents were involved in the Hard Rock scene. On my mother’s side, part of my family is from Brittany, so Breton music also played a big role in my childhood.

When I was old enough to go out, I dived into so many different scenes—Tribe, Hardcore, and Trance through Raves and Free Parties, Techno to House, Dubstep to D’n’B through clubs and festivals, Dub, Experimental Music, Noise, Ambient, Punk through alternative spaces and squats. This opened countless doors for me, leading to interconnected musical worlds.

Later, my job at Macadam also broadened my musical perspective, thanks to its artistic direction. That's why I generally need to move between different musical styles. My musical approach is entirely based on my feelings, emotions, moods, and, of course, the connection with the crowd when I play.

This is also why I love b2b sets—they push me out of my comfort zone and allow me to discover even more.
