Maybe Mixes

@zaraolsen

Launching the Maybe mix series is Ngunnawal (Canberra) based zara. I met zara a couple of years ago and it has been very exciting watching her grow into an exceptionally talented artist. 

zara has a great ear for layering interesting rhythms and always plays with excellent command of energy and flow: this 2 hour mix showcases that perfectly. Highlighting the breadth of her taste, zara's Maybe mix is a very well put together odyssey through deep and detailed selections.

zara has recently been honing her production too, her incredible understanding and passion for music shining through in all she does. We are all looking forward to hearing more!

Thank you so much for this mix zara - I can't wait to catch you on a dancefloor sometime soon!

@emkaybymk

Helsinki’s emkay for Maybe number two! 

Since discovering emkay only recently, I’ve been very eager to hear more and am delighted to share her mix today! A designer, DJ and producer, Maria is part of a vibrant scene in Helsinki pushing a sound that sits somewhere in the contemporary sweet spot between electro, trance and psychedelia. 

Her Maybe mix is the perfect introduction to this sound. Sun drenched clubby fun with a touch of euphoria - thank you for this slice of Northern Hemisphere summer Maria! 

Emkay is releasing her debut vinyl EP Now We’re e're Fucking Doing It on Post Sonics this month with another full EP to be announced very soon - eyes peeled!

@commandd

With some of my most listened to mixes of the past year, it's a joy to welcome Eora based Command D for Maybe number three - this one is deeep!! 

Command D is a very gifted DJ with a vast collection and a taste that always hits the mark. The mix he has put together is a beautiful excursion through lush and dubby sounds. Sophisticated beats for home listening - silky smooth!

Aside from taking the time to put together this mix, Charley has been spending the current Sydney lockdown working on his own productions which I am so excited to see surface.

Wherever you are today, hope this mix soothes you as much as it did me <3 Thanks again Charley!

@andreeeeaaaaas

Feeling very proud to welcome one of my earliest influences and friends in music to the series with a beautifully personal mix. 

Andreas is an Eora based producer/DJ and one of the most humble and hard working individuals I know. Whether playing, making or listening to music, Andreas always approaches it with a considered ear and and a strong sense of surety in his own identity. 

"This mix was really special to me; it tells a personal story of the confusion that comes with thoughts of loss, separation, and family, and ultimately how they all come together."

Thank you for taking the time to share such a thoughtfully assembled and naturally flowing mix Andreas - listening to this was so powerful.

WTP bringing you all the euphoria for Maybe number 5!! 

Naarm based talent WTP makes and plays music with a fresh nod to the glory days of 90s ambient trance, tech, and progressive house. A very skilled producer and DJ, Miles has not only great taste but an admirable approach to music in general. The mix WTP has put together is testament to just that. 

Whilst dance floors seem like a world away for many of us on the Australian east coast right now, there’s something beautifully authentic about this club mix. Big TMB vibes start to finish - thank you for the ride Miles! More of this energy in 2022!!!

@willeewillee

Willee for number 6! 

So excited to share a beautifully selected mix by a very talented artist. Willee has put together a smooth trip through moody rhythms, hitting that sweet spot somewhere in the middle of house, techno and electro. Digger alerrrttt :o 

Thank you for such a special mix Will! You always inspire me, keep me on my toes and you are my favourite person to listen to and play music with. <3

An exceptional club mix from Brooklyn based Lychee. 

@lycheefrut

I first discovered Lychee a while ago via their mixes on two of my favourite series: @sure_thing and @daisychain_podcast. I am always inspired by their ability to put together a stunning set with breadth and depth, always leaving me eager to dig in a new direction. 

Alongside curating the mix and interview series @spontaneousaffinity Lychee has been busy playing a steady schedule of gigs, and their Maybe mix is a wonderful encapsulation of hard and fast dance floor energy ranging from moody broken techno to euphoric drum and bass. Thank you so much for contributing Alyce, absolute fire as always.

Freshhh minimal tech heat from Eora’s lovely Ivy for Maybe 008! 

@iv-dripp

Ivy’s mixes are without a doubt some of my favourites. Equally at home playing lush ambient and downtempo sounds, trippy drum and bass, or warpy club grooves, Ivy is a DJ who is undeniably compelling and exceptionally talented. She plays such an important role in the local music community and I am so thrilled to have her on the series with this gorgeous mix of kinky grooves and swung basslines. Equal parts moody and fun, this mix encapsulates everything I admire about Ivy’s DJing. Thank you so much Ivy, this mix slaps <3

Number nine!! I am so happy to share this wonderful 2 hour mix from the 1 and only @billusmoon. 

When I asked Sam to do a mix I was excited to see what path he would go down. Now I am even more excited to share this mix that so perfectly encapsulates the breadth of his deep musical world. Billus is an incredibly talented DJ and producer who has contributed so much to Naarm's scene. The mix he has put together is an effortlessly building and expertly put together journey. It's a tough thing to record a mix at home that has the same intimacy and organic feel of a club set, but Billus does just that. Thank you so much Sam!

So excited to share this beautiful moody trip from the Eora based Sanguine @user-638584250. 

Keeping a low profile, Sanguine has caught many's attention over the past few years, as the producer/DJ/musician has steadily become distinguished by his ear for composition. Whether it be deep and detailed productions or creative and perfectly flowing mixes, Sanguine's refreshing take on club music always inspires me. Moving seamlessly between genres and rhythms, Sanguines Maybe mix is a wonderful encapsulation of his fresh style. A great soundtrack for a long summer car trip, a late afternoon or a silly early morning. 

Thank you Rob, impressive as always.

Been a second, but back with a very fresh recording from twin faves Twinsanity @tw_ins tw_ins tw_ins!

Recorded live on a hazy morning at Spincycle at Killing Time last month (the after-hours project from @becarmstrongmusic and @terrytec), this is a 3 hour trip through the dirtiest, whackiest, sludgy-bass minimal bombs that these two have up their sleeve. Pure get Perlonized heat +++!! 

These two are some of the freshest deejays around at the moment and it's an honour to share such a special live recording that showcases everything the twins do best. Enjoy the ride 🌀🌀

Welcoming day 1 bff @catrina-dorrell to the series with an energetic club mix to kick start the week!!

Cat is based in Canberra on Ngunnawal/Ngambri land where she has steadily become recognised for fun and upbeat sets that move between trance, bass music and breaks. Some of my best ever memories on the df have been spent grooving with Cat when we were bbys just getting into dance music :') Now it has been such a joy to watch her become such a talented DJ in her own right. Cat has been a regular at doofs and clubs across the capital with many exciting opportunities undoubtedly ahead. 

This mix is the perfect intro to Cat's style. Tinged with acid and euphoric elements, it's diverse, danceable and 100% vibes. Thank you Cat!!! xxxx

@sommmi

Deep, dusty and dirty dance music from an underrated boss! Stoked to welcome the locally based Sommi to the series with an elegantly flowing vinyl mix of tripped out trance, techno and faster house. Perfect for the darker winter mood at the moment. 

Highly recommend giving Sommi’s mixes for @thirteenthchime and @dreamsoftwarecorp a listen - testament to his tasteful, versatile yet always deep collection. Excited to have you on board @sommmi!!

@lewisms

Very excited to share this classy mix from longtime digger and close friend Lewis. Flexing his experienced tastes and ear for deep and hypnotic grooves this mix completely lifts through the sweet spots of his cultivated selection. Tripped out tech vibes getting it done!

Thank you so much Lewis, we’ve been looking forward to having you and what a mix to go out! <3

Honoured to finally welcome Bex (@becarmstrongmusic) to the series with a live recording of her set at Spincycle on 9.10.22. 

A boss at what she does, Bex is a staple of the local scene. A loyal minimal lover, Bex’s deep and distinguished taste has been a favourite on dance floors for years. On top of being an exceptionally talented artist, Bex is also one of the most genuine and down to earth people there is  - <3 you Bec!

This recording from Spincycle (the party Bex runs alongside @terrytec) perfectly captures the bectech sound! Sleek and sophisticated with plenty of groove - 2 hours of Bex doing what she does best at the place she does it best, Killing Time. 

We are so excited to have this recording out in the world and even more excited to have Bex join us for our first party on Sun Nov 6 💖

Maybe returns to welcome the absolute g Cooper Dodge to the series. Cooper has been doing his thing and doing it well for many years, always with the authenticity of a true head. Trends come and go, but Cooper has always been a minimal stan; his stripped back taste the accumulation of years spent digging the wiggy, deep and dubby. Cooper's Maybe mix is everything we'd hoped, versatile, classy and a cheeky trip to Mamaia ;) 

Thanks for being part of it @cooperdodgeee @moodpilotuniversal

Maybe welcomes long time friend and all-round good guy Aqui. Aqui has been like family to a share of friends who’d visit him in Hannover and Berlin over the years, making some pretty good memories. Aqui recorded this mix while he was staying with us here in February, on his first ever visit down to Australia from Berlin. 

Bringing his playful German style to his track selection, Aqui’s mix takes you into a nostalgic 90s dream. Mixing between classic house, loose acid lines, classic trance, breaks and overall a healthy drizzle of cheezy fun.

Thank you Aqui, can’t wait to see you again - mix is v „nice!“ ;)

True local treasure Rev Lon gives us dubbed out bliss for number 19. Gab wears many creative hats and approaches everything she does with style, class and depth. 

Musically, Rev Lon has a long standing reputation for her hypnotic, stripped-back and atmospheric sound, which she carries seamlessly through her ambient mixes, club sets and everything in between! A name undisputedly recognised across the city, Gab is also the artistic talent behind Soft Edges. A talented designer with an eye and ear for detail - it's a pleasure to finally have you on!

This mix is an effortlessly blended trip through low-slung grooves, trippy melodies and misted atmospheres. A fitting soundtrack as we move into winter on this side of the world. d-.-b

For Maybe 20 we welcome DJ and local digger @joshypp to the mix series. The brains behind ebbtiderecordings and Local Traffic amongst a few other side hustles he always seems to be cooking up. A groovy mix that hits that sweet spot between wonky tech-house, bleepy electro and rolling breakbeat. Something fun as we roll into summer! Thanks Josh
