Dr Hefna: Electronic Underground

Introducing our next Sister of Sound - ANASTASIA

Anastasia’s passion for DJing and music production sparked from being an active member of the Red Moon Tribe and Northside dance community for the past 4 years. Upon embarking on her music journey, Anastasia has showcased her unique curation of sounds at various underground bush doofs and private gatherings over the past year. After performing sets at various larger gatherings early this year including ‘Dawn Light’ and the ‘Re:connection NY Gathering’, where she had the incredible honour of playing the midnight opening set of 2022, Anastasia has made an official entrance into the Melbourne event scene with her debut Red Moon set at Crescent Moon Gathering last weekend. 

Inspired by a combination of raw, driving European techno and the earthy, organic Australian bush sounds that we love so much, Anastasia brings this unique blend into her sets, creating a hypnotic journey filled with rich melodies and dark basslines.

Paul Abad DJ Set - Dragon Dreaming 2022

In September, I was fortunate enough to close up the Red Moon Renegade 5th Birthday Unce. Here's the recording. 

This set was a true testament to my craft as a DJ. My intention was to captivate the crowd, keep the energy fun so anyone thinking of going home, would be drawn right back to the music. 
I was so gee'd up, especially having the god damn crew rockin it at the front from start to finish.

Big love legends and enjoy the action xx 🔴

Haber @ Red Moon Renegade - 5th Birthday Unce [Closing Set]

 In contrast, The Drill explores a deeper and more atmospheric territory—dark, underground, and reminiscent of the timeless Progressive House and Techno sound rooted in New York’s early scene. Balancing emotional depth with club-ready energy, this release showcases the artistic synergy of two versatile talents who continue to push the boundaries of melodic electronic music.

Overview
Jeff Mills’ “The Bells” is one of the most iconic tracks in techno history, often called the genre’s anthem. Known for its hypnotic bell melody, driving kick, and euphoric build, it became a staple in DJ sets worldwide. The track was first played live by Mills in 1995 (e.g., at Liquid Room in Tokyo), but it wasn’t officially released until 1997 as part of the Kat Moda EP on his Purpose Maker label. This EP is the original record pressing you’re asking about—no standalone “The Bells” single exists from that era. It has since been repressed multiple times due to massive demand (over 500,000 copies sold across versions).


Original Pressing Details
* Release Year: 1997 (though the track dates to 1995 performances and test pressings)
* Format: 12” vinyl EP, 33 ⅓ RPM
* Label: Purpose Maker
* Catalog Number: PM-002
* Country: US
* Pressing Notes: First pressing on standard black vinyl. Matrix runouts indicate a repress or variant: A side - PM 002-A (RE I) NSC; B side - PM 002-B (RE I) NSC (etched, with NSC circled). The mastering has been criticized as “shit” by some collectors for its raw, unpolished sound—typical of ’90s techno but quieter than modern represses, often requiring gain boosts in DJ sets. Sold out quickly at shops like Cisco in Tokyo upon release.

Tracklist
Side	Track	Duration
A1	The Bells	4:46
A2	Kat Race	4:22
B1	Alarms (aka “Masterplan” in later compilations)	5:32
B2	Cyclone	4:48


* 	•	Production Credits: Written, produced, and edited by Jeff Mills. Published by Millsart/BMG-Ariola.
* Why Buried on an EP? Mills reportedly avoided hype-sticker promotion to let the track’s organic popularity (from crowd reactions) drive sales. Purpose Maker was for floor-focused material, contrasting his experimental Axis label.

How to Identify an Original Pressing
* Visual Cues: Gold-on-black label design. No “10th Anniversary” or remix mentions. Check for wear from heavy club play—originals often show it.
* Sound Cues: Raw, dynamic mix with prominent kick and bells; lower loudness (not -5 LUFS like some digital remasters). Test pressings exist but are rare and unnumbered.
* Value (as of Oct 2025): $20–$50 USD for VG+ condition on Discogs/Reverb; mint originals can hit $100+ due to collector demand. Recent sales: Median $30–$40.

Later Versions and Represses
The track exploded in popularity, leading to reissues. Key ones:
* 1999 Repress: Same EP format (PM-002), minor matrix tweaks. Often mistaken for original.
* 2006 (10th Anniversary): Standalone 12” on Purpose Maker (PM-020). Includes reworked B-sides (“Gift of the Hills,” “Circus”). Louder mastering; promo versions exist. ~$15–$30.
* 2006 DVD Edition: Axis (AXDV-002). Enhanced with visuals from 1997–98 footage; limited audio/video hybrid.
* 2019 Remaster: On Sight, Sound & Space compilation (Axis). Cleaner, higher fidelity; first vinyl appearance of orchestral “Blue Potential” version.
* 2025 Remaster: Digital-only (e.g., SoundCloud edits); no new vinyl confirmed.

If you’re hunting for an original, check Discogs for verified sellers—avoid fakes by matching matrix numbers. For audio, stream the 1997 version on Beatport or Spotify. Got a specific copy or need value check? Share details! 🔔

- MANA FEST YOUR DREAMS -

Fest, the enigmatic force behind the decks, fusing the mystical elements of Psytrance, Techno, and a myriad of artistic genres into electrifying sonic journeys. Born from the depths of creativity, Mana Fest’s musical odyssey began during the pandemic lockdown. 

His passion for music burns brightly, an unrelenting fire that fuels his relentless drive to keep people dancing. For Mana Fest, music isn’t just a career; it’s a calling, an ethereal connection that transcends the ordinary. 

In 2022 and 2023, he graced the Esoteric Festival stage, where his pulsating mixes entranced crowds and left them yearning for more. Now, in 2025, he is set to make his debut on the renowned Sun Temple stage, marking a new milestone in his journey. 

Beyond Esoteric, Mana Fest has shared the spotlight with international luminaries such as Jacob from Brazil, Matan Caspi from Israel, Kander from the UK, and Amrtum from Berlin. These collaborations have woven a tapestry of global sounds that define his eclectic style. He is also a proud member of crews such as Pirainia and Sickest House Mafia. 

In 2024, he founded Terrestrial Events, an event company set to transform the scene—not only by curating incredible nights but by ensuring fair support for DJs and working with charities like White Ribbon Australia to drive social change. 

A longtime supporter of festival and doof culture, Mana Fest is often found volunteering to build stages and helping set up at various events. For him, it’s more than just a job — it’s a passion.

Yet, beyond the music, Mana Fest dons a mask that has become more than mere attire. It’s a symbol of artistic expression, a metaphorical canvas through which he paints his emotions and stories. The mask becomes a persona, blurring the line between the artist and the art itself. 

In a world where music is the universal language, Mana Fest loves orchestrating a symphony of beats and melodies that transcend boundaries, inviting all to join him on a sonic voyage.
