With a penchant for off-kilter drum and bass, bass, dub and dubstep, sina meticulously curates sets that mix and match elements of atmospheric trip hop, murky post-DnB and the mischievous 2-step sounds of the 90/00s. Witnessing sina grace the decks at Inward Goods festival was a nostalgic luxury - I felt like I’d stepped into some form of magical Y2k swamp party, where only the best of early 2000s drum and bass were being thrown down. Sina’s contributions to the community extend beyond the decks and into the realm of party planning and label curation (Secret World) whilst also forming ⅓ of the band dregs. Sina’s bass-centric Framework parties create a much needed bro-free zone, an inclusive space for us lovers of the high energy sounds that sina is becoming so well known for. sina joined me to celebrate for episode 156 and 3 years of Passing Notes with a deep, dubby guest mix and written interview here -> https://passingnotes.radio

sina - PN 156 (3 Years of PN)

‘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.

Eighty six comes fresh from the murky depths of Eora, from none other than Command D aka Charles Fester, born of royal blood, professor of mad dubs, and a 4 wheeled aficionado. Saturate your speakers in fat for the next 70 minutes and then fry until crisp. Stone-cold static rhythms, deep-ended depth charges, and echoes beyond space.

Texan bliss dealer Gi Gi joins us fresh off the back of his stunning record ‘Dreamliner’, his second release to drop on Quiet Time Tapes. Gi Gi’s discography has flourished over the last few years with contributions to INDEX:Records and Good Morning Tapes, as well as features on numerous V/As. He’s a true aficionado of that in-between-zone around 105-115 bpm, and he’ll be bringing those sensual grooves to Slowcut at Le Lac on Saturday, October 19th.

🌍 The Global Jungle Manifesto

Core Ethos:

Jungle is the heartbeat of the Earth.

It unites tribes, cities, and cultures through funky rhythm, bass, and dance.

It heals by being fun, playful, and spiritually uplifting.

It belongs to everyone — every region, every tradition, every dream.

Pillars of the Movement:

🌿 Funky Dancey Energy — Never dark or oppressive. Jungle is for skanking, laughing, feeling alive.

✨ Spiritual Roots — Infused with ritual, trance, nature, and ancestral memory. Music as ceremony.

🌎 Global Fusion — Every culture’s percussion, melodies, and folk traditions can be woven into jungle.

🎚️ Positive Technology — AI + producers as shamans of sound, manifesting infinite new styles.

🕊️ Vibes of Unity — From London sound systems to remote villages, jungle is the shared pulse.

🌐 Regional Flavors of Jungle

🇨🇳 Chinese Jungle (guzheng, pipa, erhu, opera stabs)

🇮🇳 Indian Jungle (tabla, sitar, bansuri, raga scales)

🇷🇴 Balkan/Klezmer Jungle (clarinet, violin, brass, odd-time rhythms)

🇲🇦 Arabic/Bellydance Jungle (oud, ney, darbuka, mystical chants)

🌊 Sea Jungle (whale song bass, sonar pings, water FX, conch horns)

🌌 Cosmic Jungle (bells, chimes, choirs, heavenly atmospheres)

🇯🇵 Japanese Jungle (shamisen, taiko, koto, temple gongs)

🇨🇦 First Nations Jungle (powwow drums, flutes, spirit chants, nature FX)

🎯 Movement Goal

To re-enchant the dancefloor with music that is:

Ancient yet futuristic

Global yet local

Funky yet spiritual

Fun yet transformative

@khotin has served up a free flowing range of multi-genre experiments since announcing himself with a soft-hued acid album on 1080p back in 2014. Now involved with running Normals Welcome as well as releasing on DFA, Pacific Rhythm and Public Release, his music is united by a distinctive take on melody, post-club melancholy and love for downtempo sounds. He crafts blissful songs filled with nostalgic feelings and is exactly the sort of artist in whom we can all find some sort of solace.

And this mix is a perfect tonic for reluctant bodies with its slowly cascading rhythms and soft focus melodies serving as a gentle New Year wakener. It's laced with perfectly dreamy pads and ramshackle drums that are never too forceful but always compelling. While often invitingly sombre in mood, the clouds do break along the way to bring moments of real lightness and joy just when you need it.
