A previously recorded mix, set to private for the majority of its life cycle, but now shared again for you…


This mix was actually my submission for the 2024 Strawberry Fields x PBS 106.7FM DJ Competition.

The mix was designed to be performed in the daytime following the welcome to country.

A different style of recording with an emphasis on 'Big Room' tracks I've never had the right opportunity to share until now. Having attended Strawberry Fields many times in the past, I can easily say it remains one of my most beloved festivals I've ever had the privilege to experience. Recorded for the largest of stages, the Wildland's is a gargantuan arena with massive bass, so low frequencies and a continuous hypnotic energy are the prominent components of this mix. The recording is a slow chugging build from the start (This mix is designed to follow on from a reverential Welcome to Country Ceremony) and building through a series of these 'Big Room' tracks to a euphoric finish. There are number of important breakdowns throughout the mix to allow the energy to be sustained as well as dip into some varying drum and bass rhythms with some disco elements sprinkled in to add some variety to the genre palate.

I hope you enjoy listening to the music and that visions of the Wildlands float through your mind, as they did when I recorded the mix d-_-b

Recorded at the Area 3000 Studios in Prahan, Melbourne. 6th September 2024.

In the ethereal realm of the void there existed The Delphic Iris, a being of otherworldly power and boundless knowledge. The Iris was said to possess the ability to see into the future and hear unique and strange sounds from times and dimensions beyond our grasp. 

Legend has it that with a specific alignment of space and time, and with the mastering of secret ritual practices, The Delphic Iris can be conjured by mortal musicians to ignite and inspire their souls. 
__

History's stark warnings tells us that summoning The Delphic Iris is fraught with danger and risks the possible collapse of our universe, for the Iris is an unstable and powerful being. However, The Delphic Iris' visions are often too tempting to resist much like a Siren's song.  

In recent years, electronic musicians Drox and 16 Faces came across the existence of the Delphic Iris through secret texts found in "the Book of Tidder" and were able to command its power for short periods of time, and so “Delphic Iris Records” was born.  

__   

Fortune has been kind to Drox and 16 Faces so far, despite the obvious risks of summoning the entity. We do not know why this is exactly, as the ceremonies are still to this day shrouded in mystery. What we do know is that we too are lucky, because now we can hear a small glimpse of what The Delphic Iris sees.

  It is up for debate as to whether The Delphic Iris’s intentions are good or evil, so listen with caution and may these sounds consume you, for the future of music looks promising, at least for now ….
