A fantasy inspired mix I did for the lovely folks at Borscht Radio https://borscht.live/public/borscht_radio

"One thing I can say with certainty that has informed my identity just as much as music is my love for reading, my bandcamp collection rivalled only by my vast collection of books and comics that take over most corners of my apartment. And just like ambient music has an especially big place in my heart, the same can be said about fantasy novels. 

From my childhood favourite series The Edge Chronicles (the map of which I got tattooed across my chest as an adult) to Ursula K Le Guin’s Earthsea books, to modern masterpieces like Simon Jimenez’s The Spear Cuts Through Water, these books have imprinted themselves on my very being. They imagine worlds of magical possibility, but also don’t shy away from very real and increasingly immediate topics such as war, xenophobia, greed, mans exploitation of the earth, of women, of children, of innocence and all things good. Even in the older classics like Lord of the Rings where the line between good and evil are much more obvious than the grey morality of our world, there exists within much more relatable human stories of friendship, of commitment to those you love and those who will come after, of putting your life on the line for the future prosperity of those you believe should be protected.

I am not ashamed to admit that I try to live my life according to how my favourite characters in fantasy would act. I think there is this idea that reading fantasy should be an escape, but I refute that, much like I disagree that ambient music should be used simply as a balm to block out the world and help us ignore reality. These books and music that we love that imagine a better world make me want to live life in a way where we can make that happen, standing strong with our communities and forever fighting against injustice."

Outsiders: Cozi w/ softi (Live at Life Of (NYC)) @ Kiosk Radio 15.11.2025

To introduce @demdikestare the project helmed by UK DJs and producers Sean Canty and Miles Whittaker, is to speak about something far beyond music itself.

Their output is a multi-sensory experience that has evolved from shadowy library soundscapes into a pulsing, dystopian electronic presence. Their early releases - “Symbiosis” (2009), “Forest of Evil” (2010), “Liberation Through Hearing” (2010), and “Voices of Dust” (2010) - forged a signature aesthetic built on dense collages of foggy drones, warped field recordings, and fragments of forgotten soundtracks. 

The release delivers 50 minutes of original material, traversing shifting tempos and styles: muted drums, vocal samples, house grooves, ambient zones, 2-step swing, fractured breaks, and techno echoes that feel both archival and futuristic.

To mark the collaboration, The EDWIN Music Channel is proud to present the entire tape as an extended mix voyage.

N°143 - Demdike Stare

Terekke @ Hearth (07-11-2025)

One of Melbourne's most longstanding & prolific mainstays for this week's Animix -@pjenne. Host of Passing Notes, on beloved community radio station PBS;  incredibly talented DJ , & co-founder of @companionmelb alongside another favourite, @millu .
 
Penny is an authentic example of what Melbourne and it's community look like.  She's been actively involved in the scene from all corners for a long time now - whether it be headlining parties & major fesivals (locally and abroad),  solo or alongside her DJ sister Millu; or running her beautifully curated weekly radio show which often highlights the incredible plethora of talented local DJs we have here in Australia. Alongisde Millu she also co-runs the increidble local output @companionmelb - which has seen epic releases from local artists, including Acopia, Kita and more.  

When i was first learning to DJ, it was inspiring to see women in the scene like Penny - an intelligent and driven powerhouse with loads of talent & taste to back it up - & most importantly, unashamedly herself.  Penny has a very distinctive style and has been instrumental in paving the way to what is now seen in the current global electronic music community as the "Australian sound" - even more importantly, as an early leading female figure. A local gem! 

Thank you Penny for your beautiful contribution to the Animix  series<3
