melt mix series

To kick-start our new solar orbit, Amsterdam's Nera (@nera-ja) has programmed the next instalment of Virtual Utopia. A 90-minute future-space voyage through progressive trance and everything that surrounds. Close your eyes, and know the destination will be great, but the journey much greater...

This program aims to imitate the sensation of drifting consciously into the never-ending centre point of focus. Within the initial section you will be greeted by an artificial-intelligence 'DEEP-DREAM™' avatar who will lift you out of earths stratosphere and into distant realities,  then will guide you through chromatic fractal hallways where yourself reflects back at you infinite times, optimised for introspection.

Tunneling endlessly through squiggly acid lines that travel through you like plasma, a macro-dosed journey through utopian visions and future civilisations,  an interlaced groove keeps this simulation a high-vibe-emitter from start to finish.  Emulating the sensation of travelling through an internet cable, spanning genres but still maintaining light speed progression.

Nera has provided an explorative, espionage mission to discover metallic artefacts of otherworldy materials. Throughout the mission there is ability to discover the distant expanse of the known universe, yet inspect the unfathomable dimensions of whats beyond the molecule.

Strap in and connect to your CIU (Cerebral Interface Unit) - the simulation is about to begin...

Patch Notes: "Many thanks to Laura for this high-propulsion mix, and happy new year to all <3"

The Infamous Eora/Sydney gone Naarm/Melbourne twins join the Animix series for #118. Harry & Joseph have been popping up on an increasing amount of local lineups between the two cities - digger extra-ordinares, with incredibly fine-tuned ears for rare glitchy, driving minimal, deep house & tech house records. 

This mix showcases their signature style, groovy, cheeky, minimal, deep... what more could you want. Perfect Friday tunes. The best things come in twos!

Thanks Harry & Joesph <3

So so happy to have Naarm's https://soundcloud.com/mgmldrm on the series!! 

miscmeg's sensitive take on electronic music just hits. the. spot. Having made a name for herself as a versatile selector, as suited to a club setting and those moments of total energetic release, as periods of reflection and stillness. It's the latter she has compiled in this mix, originally recorded at Hope St Radio in Naarm.

One of the founders of https://soundcloud.com/vortexvortexvortex and its associated skylab show, miscmeg is a major contributor to Naarm's scene, effortlessly adding an essential dimension, rooted in emotional dance music. 

With a 90s flavour, this mix meanders through sugarcoated, glistening downtempo, occasionally plunging into destabilising slow burns. miscmeg's ear for downtempo is on full show here, pausing for darker, dub-inflicted haziness and moments of melancholy before erupting shining light, love and red-hot desire. 

miscmeg, with what seems like a knowing wink, sprinkles breadcrumbs for us to follow, each moment a fragile, expanding, crystallising and, soon, razor sharp declaration of self-worth. She's a pro and we can't thank her enough : --)

Emotions are high, may require a dance in your kitchen ⚘ ❁ ⚘ ❁ ⚘

It’s becoming increasingly difficult to find the words to introduce guests who need no introduction, enter: one of Naarm’s most loved and lauded, LOIF. LOIF is a DJ, producer and underground operator who has been forging a luminescent path in uncharted, underwater territory since the release of his first EP ‘Electronic Organism’ in 2019. Since this time, LOIF has been taking us on spelunking adventures through intricate patterns of space and sound. Much like intricately woven cave systems, LOIF produces tracks with hidden complexity, space and depth. LOIF’s forthcoming EP ‘Plunge’, set for imminent release on @animalialabel has been described as an oceanic exploration. Yet unlike the vastness of the ocean, LOIF’s performances and productions are executed with laser-like precision - sharply programmed drums and abundant restraint present an intriguing contrast between minimalism and maximum impact. The result is LOIF’s deep and signature sound spanning electro, psy and dubstep which is garnering local and international label attention from @amniote.editions, @ute.rec, @indexrecords, @purespacefm and more.

@earthstalker

vol. 81 comes from earthwalker (FKA Sommi), a fantastic local vinyl dj outta Naarm who has recently impressed with some stellar contributions to other local mix series @animalia-label and @vortexvortexvortex. It's a pleasure to present yet another great array of selections from this emerging spin technician, who offers up an enjoyable mix bag of trancey tech house, deep house and breakbeat that sits on the cheekier, funner side. Enjoy!! <3
