Blană’s the journey.<BiR ep.01>
July.2024

★ @blanadj (DK/AU) IG:@blana.dj
I bumped into her at SCR in Seoul 12.2023
We complimented each other's hairstyles and became friends.When I told her I was going to Melbourne,she said she lived there. Such a coincidence is incredibly rare case....
Since meeting her, she has introduced me to a lot of different music. and She is like the sun that makes everyone happy and to me!
Well then...Enjoy  the her mix journey...

☆What kind of journey did you envision while creating the mix?:
A mix is truly a peek into the artist’s subconscious. Combinations of frequencies over a certain timeframe carefully curated into a journey to move listeners physically, emotionally, and spiritually. In this sonic adventure I present a corner of my library designed to elevate, excelerate but also stop up and reflect. Reflection is key to understanding ourselves and therefore the world around us.

☆artist profile:
Blană is a Danish born artist based in the mists of Melbourne. Passionately sharing deep sonic soundscapes straight from the heart while opening new channels of consciousness for those who listen. 
Heavily inspired by her adventures around the world she sets the mood with dynamic basslines, enchanting rhythms and spellbinding snares. 
In Melbourne Blană has made her mark as a resident at Killing Time Bar on Fridays for OVER. As well as curating the experimental minimal event series: Subterrania. 

★BiR ep.01 @blana.dj (DK/AU)
彼女とは2023年12月にソウルのSCRで偶然出会いました。お互いの髪型を褒め合い仲良くなりました。私がメルボルンに行くと言ったら、まさかの彼女がそこに住んでいることを知り、こんな偶然なことがあるんですね…
彼女と出会ってから、私にたくさんの音楽を教えてくれました。そして、彼女はみんなを幸せにする太陽のような存在で、もちろん私にとってもそうです！
それでは、彼女のミックスの旅をお楽しみください...

☆どのような旅を想像しましたか？:
mixはアーティストの潜在意識を垣間見るものです。
特定の時間内での周波数の組み合わせを注意深く厳選し、聴き手を物理的、感情的、そして精神的に動かす旅へと導きます。
この音の冒険では、私の現在のライブラリー(コレクション)の一角を紹介し、高め、加速しているだけでなく、立ち止まって反省するようにデザインされています。反省は自分自身を理解するため、従って周囲の世界を理解するための鍵です。

☆Artist Profile：Blană (@blana.dj) from Melbourne, Australia
デンマーク出身のBlană（ブラナ）は、メルボルンを中心にアーティスト/DJとして活動しています。彼女の内側から放たれるミニマムで奥深い音の旅により、リスナーを新たな扉へと導きます。ルーマニアとベトナムでの旅で多くの影響を得た、ダイナミックなベースライン、魅惑的なリズム、そして魔法のようなスネアで奥深い雰囲気を作り出します。
メルボルンでは、隔週金曜日にKilling Time Barで開催されるイベント：エクスペリメンタルミニマルイベントシリーズ「Subterrania」を共同キュレーション。OVERの忠実なレジデントとして、メルボルン発祥のコレクティブHindsight Musicと共にプレイしています。

Blanǎ delivers on what can only be referred to as an excellent mix. I mean really. Minimal without boring, sonically playful without overbearing, it's a selectors-delight of weird tech house, deep techno, dubby minimal, and so on. Whether via Baby Ford or Van Bonn, its an invitation of sorts, into a diggers mind.


Blanǎ @ Panini (05.09.2025)

Welcoming Blană for Acetic Selects 018. A sound artist, producer, DJ based in Odense, Denmark. The past 6 years she has been a driving force in the Australasian underground scene, calling Naarm her home away from home. Unfortunately for us she has moved back to Denmark but together with Tejavu she hosts the experimental radio show ‘sketchbook’ on Area 3000. Listen closely, this mix focusses on the adventure of listening deeply and delving into the details.

James Kameran - Lilo River Flow 2020

The moon's reflection gives a thin seal atop the water's beguiling inhabitants. Their tails flick and swish, hypnotizing the Tigress who watches from the shore.

Shimmering and stirring, the koi pull her with them, and the river's flow. They dance around the currents and with death itself, but the Tigress doesn't pounce. Slowly but surely, a head bop. Surrounding trees begin their bounce, as does the water itself. The Tigress is losing herself in the rhythm of the wetlands, but she doesn't seem to mind. Hunting never sounded so good. 

Blană is back with her magic minimal behaviour. Dive into this beautiful mix with liquid essences and signature styles throwing your exercised ears into a deep electronical wetland.
