Rainbow Serpent Festival 2017 - 20th Anniversary

‘For home use only’ is an anti-club social, a chance to get to know someone/something. A series of transmissions purely dedicated to exploring the other side.

So, here we are again, partaking in part-time life with a part-time attitude. Who’s up for a little break? God knows we all need one. Considering how chaotic things are at the moment I think it's time we get a bit of respite in our lives, in the form of an audible vacation. Sit back, sip an imaginary cocktail on a fictional deckchair, on the deck of a mythical cruise ship.
The captains of this cruise are Chomley, the terrible twosome, on their never-ending quest to make your life that little bit better. 

The Naarm based duo are fluent in fairytales, putting the mind at ease and your feet to good use, weaponising their talents across all different types of dance floors. Their mix’s hit every single time and this one hits hardest of all. 

I think I’ve (subconsciously) kept this mix to myself, because I find it so special. I’ve had to snap myself out of the greed and let the world experience the profound beauty of the 4 hours that follow, after a click of the play button. It truly encapsulates the aesthetic of FHUO and then transcends it; A mood for every day of the week, uncovered gems in every playthrough, truly a gift that will keep on giving long into the future.

This mix has been my rock for the past few months now. 
Things are pretty dicey out there, and this has been pure solace, a sense of romantic respite in such a chaotic time. 

Alas, no longer should this be enjoyed by me solely, it’s time for you to take the plunge. 

You’re welcome. 

Stay kind. X

Welcome Noise In My Head to the BSRMIX!

Blessed to have our studio neighbour and long time pal Michael Kucyk finally serve up an audio offering. With a deep and long dedication to the world of left leaning music, the Efficient Space boss and veteran radio host (3RRR, NTS etc) has been a constant source of inspiration and discovery for ourselves and many more. Dive deep, warm up or cool down with his killer 1.5hr session!

BSRMIX #127 - Noise In My Head

‘For home use only’ is an anti-club social, a chance to get to know someone/something. A series of transmissions purely dedicated to exploring the other side.

Music is an anchor in life, useable in any if not every scenario to shift or change your current mood. It's something that you have complete control of (unless you’re in someone else’s car), this control, I find is somewhat taken for granted every now and then and I think in this strange time of our lives it's very important to take control of what you can. Speaking of control, it's something our next guest has mastered, A Naarm favourite Bex. 

Hard work, dedication, and a belief in one's self are the holy trinity to the path of evolution, All of these factors Bex has mastered. Through years and years of commitment to her craft, Bex has steeled herself amongst her peers and their dance floors, forever increasing her orbit and her listeners inside of it. Encompassing the pure aesthetics of Dj’ing (an understanding of rhythm and how people react to it), she has cemented herself as a staple DJ all across Naarm as well pushing the same ethos with her own party series “Spincycle” (HOT TIP!!). She’s here to stay and it fills me with confidence for the future. 

The mix itself beautifully encompasses the very thing I’ve set out to explore, the other side. For someone who is consistently filling dance floors, you can tell Bex has done herself justice in reaching into her musical peripherals and wholeheartedly enjoyed doing it. Ecstatic trips into euphoria electronica, A consistent theme explored in its whole, done masterfully. Computer-generated soul at its finest, using BPM as a narrative tool, she takes us on a trip through her own mind, leaving no stone unturned. After countless play-throughs, I still find little details that excite me, her technical skills on full display for the world to see. A perfect summary of Bex herself. Enjoy it every way you can. 

Her words >>>> "when I was making the mix I was kind of thinking it was like a bit of a love story. It has lots of songs that have been prominent in my past relationships and lots of songs about love and with love in the title. It’s a bit of a story of the history of love (and heartbreak)"

Another 8760 hours have passed yet again, another full lap around the sun, another new year upon us... And what comes with this new year, for I know not, nor do I want to. It is, although a good time to realign, reassess, reevaluate, and appreciate the opportunity to do so. Our sound-tracker for this sectional period is from all the way in Ukraine, and he goes by the name of Sid-Nine aka Anton Potieriaiko. 

I don’t know much about Sid, just that he’s a young guy with exceptional musical taste, an amazing result of what this series has evolved into. Sid sent me some mixes a few months ago, and very kindly asked if he could contribute. After listening to them, I hurriedly replied with a big fat ‘yes please!’, and here we are. It fills me with immense pride that this series has reached the other side of the world and given someone the motivation to truly dive deep into their own existence and produce something so pure. Especially when your country is forcibly participating in a war that shouldn’t be happening. 

This has been an absolute pleasure to listen to over and over for the past few weeks, I honestly don’t think I’ll ever get sick of this mix. The talent that Sid puts on display in this two-hour stint is nothing short of amazing, each arch so perfectly placed, each mix so perfectly executed, each twist so rich, each turn so precise. The sheer wealth of musical knowledge intertwined throughout the mix is astounding, all rolled up in ethereal euphoria and soaked in rhythm overnight. Progressively paced-out house music, steeped street soul, splinters of future pop, deep space synth, milk bar ambient folk, converging harmoniously to create something magical. This kid truly gets it, and I know damn well he will use these powers for good. Sit on the couch, and reach for the lasers. 

Happy new year. X

«Тільки для домашнього використання» — це антиклубне спілкування, можливість познайомитися з кимось/щось. Серія передач, присвячених дослідженню іншої сторони.

Знову минуло ще 8760 годин, ще одне повне коло навколо сонця, ще один новий рік перед нами... І що прийде з цим новим роком, бо я не знаю і не хочу знати. Це, хоч і сприятливий час для перебудови, переоцінки, переоцінки та оцінки можливості зробити це. Наш саунд-трекер для цього розділового періоду – з усієї України, і його звуть Сід-Найн, він же Антон Потеряйко.

Я мало знаю про Сіда, лише те, що він молодий хлопець із винятковим музичним смаком, дивовижний результат того, у що перетворився цей серіал. Кілька місяців тому Сід надіслав мені кілька міксів і дуже люб’язно попросив, чи може він зробити свій внесок. Вислухавши їх, я поспішно відповів великим «так, будь ласка!», і ось ми тут. Мене сповнює величезна гордість, що ця серія досягла іншого кінця світу і дала комусь мотивацію по-справжньому зануритися у власне існування та створити щось таке чисте. Особливо, коли ваша країна вимушено бере участь у війні, якої не повинно бути.

Це було справжнє задоволення слухати знову і знову протягом останніх кількох тижнів, я чесно кажучи, не думаю, що мені коли-небудь набридне цей мікс. Талант, який Сід демонструє в цьому двогодинному виступі, не що інше, як дивовижний, кожна арка настільки ідеально розміщена, кожен мікс настільки ідеально виконаний, кожен поворот такий насичений, кожен поворот такий точний. Величезне багатство музичних знань, переплетених у всьому міксі, вражає, усе згорнуте в ефірну ейфорію та просякнуте ритмом протягом ночі. Прогресивна хаус-музика, стріт-соул, уламки майбутньої поп-музики, глибокий космічний синтезатор, ембієнт-фолк молочного бару, які гармонійно зливаються, створюючи щось чарівне. Цей хлопець справді це розуміє, і я чудово знаю, що він використає ці здібності назавжди. Сядьте на диван і потягніться до лазерів.

Щасливого Нового року. X

Wellll shiiiiiiiiit, look here, motherfucking Mosam Howieson is in the building. About time, you say? Yes, you’d be right to ask, but you’re asking the wrong question, more like, what is time? Don’t stress, it’s merely a measuring device that the entire human civilisation revolves around. Anyway, Mos is here to teach you a thing or two about time and what you can do with it. 

I’ve been lucky enough to know Mos for many years. A true gentleman in the game, forever polite and tremendously respectful. A man of many talents, and most revolve around providing for the people. A culinary cowboy by day and dance floor destroyer by night, his exceptional work ethic shining through in both forms. Mos’ production has slowly but surely infiltrated ears across the globe, labels worldwide have been picking up what Mos has been putting down, and we’re better off for it. Mos' live performances are a full-body experience, from ground-breaking ambient soundscapes to rafter-breaking post-primitive drum loops, something to add to that bucket list of yours, whilst waiting patiently for his new album coming out later this year.  For those of you that don’t know Mos, this is the perfect place to start. 

Following with the theme of time, I think Mos has completely encapsulated his existence on this earth through this mix. You can hear him in his different stages of life and all the soundtracks that came with it. From hovering over a tape deck recording tracks straight from the radio, getting up early watching video hits, burning CDs on friend's computers, weeklong mp3 downloads from lime wire riddled with viruses on the family computer, all the way up to the first-time he downloaded fruity loops and set himself on this path, it’s all here and we’ve been invited along for the ride. All of this music holds such a special place in my heart as I was on a parallel path of musical enlightenment (except my productions never made it past a 4x4 loop on a cracked version of fruity loops) a musical diary if you will, filled with ideas, aspirations, and heartache, complete with dogged ears, doodles and torn out pages. On behalf of the people listening, thank you Mos. 

Keep it as real as you can. X

As the world tosses and turns, continuously coping with loss and burns, we continue to take and churn. It’s a full-time job living inside of a bubble, inside of a bubble, but we do it well, and boy is it nice here. Let’s take a moment and appreciate the space we have created for ourselves and the people that make that possible, one of those people for me is our next guest, Maryos Syawish, one half of Sleep D, f.k.a Sleepy Dino, and one of the founding member’s of Butter Sessions Records. 



I think the best place to start with Maryos is at the beginning, the beginning being the one love forums (tip of the hat;)) "frAnk" (cannot disclose real name due to legal issues) as he was called used to trawl the forums like he was Tank from the matrix, collecting every bit of vital information (I.e peak 08 -10 bangers), which would ultimately set him on his path to musical enlightenment and thus creating the foundations of the omnipresent ‘Butter Sessions’. Bringing underground Australian electronic music not only into the present but pushing it forward into the future. Where we used to follow, we now lead. Watching Maryos go from strength to strength over the last 15 years has been nothing short of inspirational, the amount of work Maryos and Corey (the other member of Sleep D/Butter sessions) have put into refining their craft and creating something truly amazing. Butter Sessions has been such an incredible platform for the Australian scene, carving out a place for all of us to call home, championing the local scene on a worldwide stage. They’ve come a long way from train-wrecking mixes at miss libertines all those years ago. Amazingly, Maryos has stayed humble this whole time, weird I know, but I’ve tested it time and time again. In an effort to fully embody the idea of being an artist, Maryos sunk himself into the graphical element in a heavy way, through pure ‘fuck around and find out’ he has established his own way of doing things via album artwork, poster design, logo development, and even sculpture work, and no one should be surprised that his work is beyond exceptional (I know sweet fuck all about art, but I do know what I like). Maryos’ star will continue to shine bright for many years to come and I cannot wait to see all the multifaceted fruitions. 



Keeping with the theme of ‘exceptional constructs of site and sound’ Maryos has delivered an interstellar submission. Fully embracing his middle eastern roots through a modern bypass and technical finesse, producing something that truly taps straight into the soul. Layers upon layers of perfectly structured sonic explorations, laced with haunting vocals and rhythm-based static, resulting in this beautifully melancholic love letter from the other side of the world. The mix dips and trip’s in and out of consciousness via waves of absolute hypnotism to put you under, then come the big hits from reality-driven synths to bring you back up for air. Maryos has created something truly powerful and moving here and it’s an honour to be able to bring this into the world. This is the point you take the red pill (not the one with the Mitsubishi logo on it).

Be kind to yourself. X

Here we are, still breathing, doing what we can in whatever way we can, still breathing, life is good, hard, but good. Enjoy it by all means possible. 
I do have something that might help though, as it's helped me, and it is this beautiful mix from Naarm based Kāmna. 

Kāmna is most definitely someone to pay attention to. Her breadth of knowledge and understanding of all things noise is truly unique, and if this mix doesn’t convince you of that, then go back and listen to her ‘Bleus’ and ‘Hue & Saturation’ mixes. Her ability to piece together the unknown has rewarded her with more and more gigs around town and I feel that this is only the beginning. 

Strap yourselves in for 109 minutes of pure elation, completely captivating from the get go, completely gripped until you’re let go. A mix of fun and flirtatious movements and ideals with bits and bobs of pretty much everything under the sun. A contemporary and refreshing approach to the lost art of the mix tape, it’s so easy to tell how much each one of these songs means to her. Submerged in a rich cultural understanding of how the world works, the mix blends multiple narratives together to create a harmonious tapestry that is just so damn nice on the ears. A mix that will happily haunt you for the rest of your life. 

Keep breathing. X

Her words >>>> “My favourite and most luxurious thing to do at home is to lie on the grass in my backyard on a somewhat sunny day under the dispersed shade of a too tall fruiting olive tree until I get slightly chilly and then I get up and lie on the concrete under a sheet or some tees hung up on our hills hoist spinning around with the light breeze we sometimes get in the late afternoon. White cabbage moths float through our veggie patch, tiny ants crawl over my legs and I smell the wafts of meals my neighbours are cooking, or maybe heating up. When I listen to this mix I like to think how I feel in that moment - full, content, relaxed, floaty and a little heady. 
Thanks for listening and being part of that moment - together. “

I'm a front-end developer but I also love music too much!
sounds are great jaz, funk, glitch, you name it it keeps me happy :P

Louis McCoy, aka hndsm, possesses an audio résumé and reputation as a selector and curator that certainly does precede him. A founding member of the Inner Varnika Music festival and organiser of the now defunct yet legendary Out of Focus parties along with his present day involvement with the burgeoning Common Ground platform and newly established mix series, For Home Use Only, Louis over the many years of playing and holding events has etched out his own audio space in the collective memory of Melbourne’s dance community, quickly becoming a principle mainstay and purveyor of fine bounce espousing the principles of groove and flavour.

Unearthed from Melbourne’s inner Western suburbs, Lou from a early age developed an unhealthy penchant and love for electronic dance and rhythm which naturally escalated within him a strong desire to contribute and imbue Melbourne’s underground community with his own distinct, creative and broad perspective on what it requires to incite a dance floor.

A serial party starter and highly skilled technician behind the turntables, and as a result of being exposed to such wide array of electronic signatures, Louis has developed that highly sought after skill of being able to furnish any context with the appropriate vibe in order to create the required experience.

Under his many guises, aliases and incarnations ranging from Neptunes Trident, Lou-is to hndsm, Louis cut his swathe since the beginning of the decade, honing his craft in venues all over Melbourne. From warming up and opening proceedings for international luminaries along with playing local and inter-state festivals, most notably Rainbow Serpent, where he has come to own his market stage slot over the past 4 years, Louis in the process has deliberately developed his own and distinct approach to deejaying underpinned by his extraordinarily wide palate.

A true eclectic and tireless digger, Louis has that rare ability to weave and grind between hip hop, house, drum’n’bass and all things obscure whilst never losing the flow and keeping the narrative intact. A title not bestowed among many, yet fittingly here, Louis McCoy is a “dancers” Deejay.

I respectfully acknowledge the original custodians of the land on which we work, predominantly that of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation, and that sovereignty has never been ceded. we pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging.
