Dishing up an extended all-spice-mix from local hot saucier @lava-brain. Prepare for some genuine mind realignment with 3.5 hours of mesmerisingly deep heat!

Q. Hey Eric, what inspiration did you draw upon when putting this mix together? Is there a sound, feeling, or time in dance music history that connects all the different elements in one way or another?

A. Thanks for having me! I don’t know if there was a conscious thought so much, but lots of music to either get you in a meditative mood or moving depending on how you’re feeling. I guess there are definitely a lot of elements from the 90s Bristol scene threaded through the mix in one way or another. That trip hop/down tempo sound was really a big gateway into a lot of electronic music for me and it’s what I was listening to a lot of when I first started DJing. ‘Bass is Maternal’ by Smith & Mighty was a really big record for me; bringing together a lot of trip hop, dub, bass, breakbeat and jungle sounds, which feature in a lot of tracks in the mix.    

Q. Are there any records in the mix that are especially close to your heart?

Definitely! There’s a mix of some older favs like 'Transient' by Mr G, 'Tokyo Dawn' by Doc Scott & a Smith & Mighty tune. 'The Edgelands' by Rings Around Saturn has definitely had its fair share of listens over the years for me too. There's also a bunch of newer tracks, lots of local favourites & just music that inspires me. 
One tune which I hold especially close would have to be Delano Smith’s ‘The Rock’. I remember hearing it for the first time and I still find it hard not to get hypnotised by it. The vocal sample about universal unity is also pretty groovy :)

Q. Tell us what’s the latest with the visual aspect of your Lava Brain project? How would you describe your approach?

A. It’s been really great to get more opportunities to work on the live visuals & projection mapping part of my practice recently and to focus on it 100% at a party. 

In terms of my approach to integrating the two, with every event there are so many different elements that need to work together to make it a success. I think it's really about creating an awesome experience, working together with the music and space to compliment each other and help curate a mood. Working with different collectives or venues is always interesting, as all the elements change including the physical space and I enjoy the design process; usually starting with the logical side of the ‘how’ will this technically work and then the ‘what’ in terms of creative content. 

I guess I try to tap into my own feelings when designing an install or content and ask myself something like ‘How would this make me feel in the context of the party, music and space and what’s the intention we as a collective are trying to curate?’ I’m also starting to expand my setup, experimenting with mapping a small wireless midi controller to be able to still be able to control the visuals while being away from the laptop and part of the party, letting me further tap into those intuitive feelings. 

Currently I’m working on a visual instalment for Ferdydurke’s 11th birthday on August 12th and have been working with some new projection materials, experimenting with sheer fabrics to project a succession of images above the dancefloor to give a sort of floating holographic tunnel effect. For the event I’m also working on building a motorised lighting sculpture for the entrance to the venue, which is something new for me. 
In parallel, I’m working on some grant applications and starting to look for sponsorships for a multi-day projection art and music series I’m working on, in collaboration with the Section 8 crew. With all going to plan, that should be happening mid-next year. 
Other than that, continuing to learn, play and experiment, currently I’m starting to teach myself Touch Designer to expand that side of my creative practice and just always staying open to new projects and collaborations :)

It’s really such a pleasure to present my next special guest on my MLD Channel: Eric Fenessy a.k.a. Lava Brain from Melbourne/AUS. @lava-brain

We already had the opportunity to cooperate some months ago and during our conversations via mail I appreciated his thoughts and values about therapeutic effects of arts and music, something I could relate immediately. Thanks so much, Eric, you followed my invite to contribute with a guest mix for MLD!
Much Heavy Weight and experimental foot work inside, but also so much mindfulness for details in the frame of the love for Dub related bass music! An original MLD style -no-business-as-usual-Mix, I would say! 😊🙏
Some more words about Eric’s work as Lava Brain:
“Lava Brain (he/him) is the multidisciplinary creative project of Naarm-based (Melbourne) artist Eric Fenessy.
Eric’s practice works across sound & visual installation/projection mapping, music & video production, DJing & radio broadcast, photography, graphic design & animation, sculpture & space curation. 

His work explores themes of fluidity, connection & self-exploration, encouraging the experiencer to look inward, outward & upward, creating space for expansive thought. 

Eric is a community & mental health advocate; believing in the intrinsic power of intentional art & music to connect people, in order to create positive change in the world.”

Cutting his teeth in the multi-genre chaos of Oakland’s noise scene & the underground spirit of Bay Area raves, LA-based hardware performer, DJ & renegade enthusiast Danny Lewis @residualbirth is a seeker of otherworldly sounds, harnessing joy & connection in every set. Drawn to the sounds of Australia’s underground rarely heard in the States, he spent time in Naarm connecting into and exploring a music culture where genre-blurring journeys and nature-bound dance floors are abundant. 

Beyond the dance floor, Danny champions the transformative power of shared experiences through music, moments that foster genuine community & connection, sparking socially conscious conversations, allowing a party’s energy to ripple far beyond the final track. His latest release, Echo LA, is a politically charged rally cry for unity against the violent, fascist systems of power wreaking havoc on migrant communities in Los Angeles.

'Triple Vision' 09.09 w Lava Brain [area3000.radio]

This month on @area3000.radio I'm joined by @yilum for a guest mix; establishing herself as a staple of Naarm’s underground, whose carefully crafted sets capture emotion, rhythm & texture, creating hypnotic journeys for the experiencer.

Unbound by genre, Yi Lum drifts through dreamy, moody & atmospheric sound scapes, where bass-weight meets the subliminal & movement meets feeling.

It's an honour to present the first edition of the Space Cast mix series by good friend and wonderful human, Eric aka Lava Brain (@lava-brain). Eric is an exceptionally talented dj, producer and live visual artist. This year he released his debut single on his Bandcamp featuring two very distinct tracks, one of them a 19 minute long ambient exploration. Eric has created a stunning mix simultaneously capturing a sense of lightness and depth which has you drifting through subtle shifts in consciousness.

'I really love the concept for this mix series, diving into and appreciating the spaces between spaces, as well as the reflexive nature of the creation of art. Slowing down and getting lost in the spaciousness of music has been a great source of escape and solace for me this year. Spending less time listening to club-focused music has also inspired me to spend more time reflecting in nature and experimenting with some production of my own, using organic field recordings as a catalyst. Thanks to Space Cast Melbourne for allowing me to share this side of my music collection, putting together this mix felt like a meditative experience for me.'
