Animix Forty One presented by Austin, Texas based DJ/ Producer Gi Gi ( @keptmale ) with a beautiful trip. The artist focuses on deep and contemplative listening in this xtra long mix.  

In their own words, Gi Gi writes, "the idea for these mixes is to be a collection of longer-form tracks (7+ min) that demand (imo) to be heard front to back, producing a patient wander of a listen, and to serve as a greatest hits of sorts of songs that are especially personal/special to me-- as opposed to just an attempt to show off the deepest digs i've stumbled on (a thought pattern i think i and many other selectors can get caught up in at times..)."

Love the idea behind this mix, and it's the perfect extended listen for a sunny or rainy day wherever you are. 

Gigi released an LP on Quiet Tapes earlier this year, and has a few more LPs in the works, due out later this year --https://quiettimetapes.bandcamp.com/album/lumino-pleco

Thanks again for this one, Gi Gi!

Living Room n°87 - @wieloroman @ushenkosasha

q. please introduce yourselves:

a. My name is Sasha Ushenko, and I'm an artist from Kyiv. Together with my close friend and collaborator WiELOROMAN aka Roma Pivnenko, we’ve built a deep connection through our shared taste in music and vision.

We co-create a project called Practices of Conscious Listening @pup.listening.club — a series of events where we invite people and artists into the world of deep listening, meditative states, and alternative soundscapes. Our goal is to explore how sound can be used as a tool for presence, awareness, and inner exploration.


q. is there a story behind the mix?

a. There’s definitely a story behind this mix. It was born naturally from a live B2B session we played at the Stricka Festival in Kyiv, in the summer of 2024. The setting was beautiful — a lush garden surrounded by greenery, and the vibe was incredibly present, almost timeless.

The mix captured that moment of deep connection - with the music, the space, and the people around us. For a long time, it just sat quietly, waiting to be heard again. 

When we play together, it feels intense and super-spiritual because we hold this depth together with our double intention.


q. what’s the best way to enjoy your mix?

a. I think the best way to enjoy this mix is to simply gather your friends, put the music on, boil some water, pour some tea — and just be. Whether it’s shared conversations in nature or quiet moments of presence together, this mix was made to hold space for that kind of connection. It’s not about listening with intensity — it’s about letting the sound gently accompany a real, grounded moment in life.


q. describe a favourite object in your living room (individually)...

a. Sasha - I really love my table in the living room. There’s just so much happening around it — it feels like a digital workspace, but also a creative sanctuary. I draw there, drink tea, read, write… everything kind of flows through that table. It’s simple, but it holds a lot of energy. It’s just… the table, you know?

Roma - probably my favorite object is a whole wall consisting of memories, important trinkets, bookshelves with favorite material, a place for a vinyl collection and a sound system. This corner has become for me a kind of mirror that can remind you of the important things on the path of this character, through which all life breathes


q. are you working on any projects right now (music or not music, together or individually)?

a. Musically, I want to finish a special release for Gasoline Records — it’s a vinyl postcard project that brings together five musicians, five photographers, and two organizations: our label and the Kyiv Biennial. It’s a cross-disciplinary collaboration that merges sound and visual art in a very tactile, analog format.

Alongside that, WiELOROMAN and I are continuing our journey with Practices of Conscious Listening. We’re motivated to keep creating offline events, and we’re also planning to launch a podcast series to deepen the conversation around attentive listening and sound as a meditative practice.

On a more personal level, I’m diving deeper into healing sound — exploring voice, vibration, and the yoga of sound as tools for body-mind connection and inner transformation.

Roma, in turn, works extensively in the field of online education, creating courses for his clients and helping teachers develop transformational programs to support the growth of their students. He is also a "guide". It seems that this is his lifetask, to combine people, ideas, and tracks with each other, so that something divinely beautiful comes out of it.

We're none too fond of terms like 'selector' here at the figurative 12th Isle HQ. We think it was a shrewd marketing ploy concocted by natural wine bar owners - and possibly the freemasons - who repackaged the spergy single-mindedness of record nerds into something that sounded much more socially agile and cool in order to distract punters from the exorbitant price of nibbles. Thankfully, the time of white label soundtracked £40 sashimi seems to be behind us, and DJing can go back to being obsessives playing odd music made by even odder folk without much in the way of pretence. Someone who encapsulates that kind of energy has very kindly put together a nearly 4 hour long sprawl and has stated that under no circumstances should this mix be enjoyed alongside thinly sliced bits of raw beef and wine with bits in it or there will be hell to pay. Floor Length Skirts for Forecast 79, it's good gear like.

Today I am delighted to have Amor Leone as my guest. 

Her mix is both strange and offbeat, imbued with the sweet scent of an old, slightly dark cellar, where dub and psychedelic sounds, distorted rhythms and deep bass lines intersect, tracing the contours of a slow, esoteric dance.

Another snapshot from our night with @escalator-to-nowhere in May 2025. Half-human, half-AI hallucination, @dreamsoftwarecorp floats in like a digital cloud formation. The first half rains down pixelated cascades of ambient techno, while the second introduces heavier textures with wriggling 303s pulling you through like cilia to the other side.

RAPTURE INVESTIGATION w. 98dots Guest Second Contact [17.10.25]

The 17th Virtual Utopia update has been created by Mexico-based sonic scientist Gerhard (@esenciamx) - A DJ  who’s sound has been immersed in a positive floating ambience that has always been a great inspiration to us here at the Dream Software corporation. Also known for being the head engineer of the Escensia blog and mix series- a constant emission of quality sine-wave based content with a trademark euphoric infusion.

A two-hour audible offering illustrating scenes of a utopian future. An existence imbued with hope and optimism where cooling airs and a warming sun remind us of the balance needed to exist in harmony here. Comforting pads and ethereal softness drift amongst the various genres and tempos that really make this mix a beautiful sonic landscape. We hope you enjoy it.

Many thanks Gerhard for contributing to the mix series <3
