Recorded live from our FOLD takeover with Transmissions, this one comes courtesy of softi who opened Room 2 with a two hour set we simply couldn’t keep to ourselves. Weaving through glitchy, swamp-soaked textures and deep, hypnotic rhythms, she laid down a trippy journey that set the perfect tone for the night ahead. Dial in and drift!

“Een van de weinige sets waarbij ik vooraf misselijkmakend nerveus was. Ik heb hier maanden naar uitgeleefd en toen ik er stond, met minder dan 3 uur slaap en een all nighter in m’n benen van de nacht ervoor, wist ik gelijk wat en hoe ik moest doen. Het publiek voelde het perfect aan en dit maakte bij iedereen emoties los. Ik heb een klein traantje gelaten op de dansvloer”

"Designing clubs is about understanding psychology." The famed architects talk about bringing emotions, durability and hidden logic into era-defining nightlife spaces.

How do you design the world's best clubs? Studio Karhard, the architecture firm started by Thomas Karsten and his wife, Alexandra Erhard, in 2003, know exactly which ingredients go into a successful nightlife space. The Berlin-based duo are the visionaries behind Berghain and ∄ in Kyiv, as well as a number of private residences, businesses and smaller venues around the world. Their specialty, they say, is salvaging forgotten spaces and resurrecting them to serve a new purpose.

In this RA Exchange, Karsten talks about first coming across the building that's now Berghain and working tirelessly with engineers and city planners to preserve its neoclassical facade. As he explains, creating a memorable atmosphere goes beyond just designing for aesthetics. There are countless hidden design features that serve to make venues like Berghain comfortable.

But according to Karsten, Studio Karhard's masterpiece is ∄, which they began designing in 2018. He describes the special experience of first visiting the abandoned brewery—which was then in extreme disrepair—and bringing the lessons they took away from building Berghain to make this Ukrainian space their most successful project yet.

This episode takes a look under the hood of the psychology, anthropology and emotional study that inform the venues that have shaped underground electronic music culture. Listen to it in full. -Chloe Lula

For #180, and in conjunction with his brand new Animalia EP that is officially out today - here's Sub Basics, UK based producer, with a mix made up of 100% of his own productions.

Tom aka Sub Basics has been humbly putting music into the world via Temple of Sound , Modern Hypnosis and more, for the last few years.  Personally, when I first discovered his tunes a while back, it was a no brainer to work with him on an EP. His  music somehow sits at the perfect junction of so many different genres, moods and styles I enjoy. A versatile and prolific producer. Super happy to welcome him to the Animalia family.

Thanks so much Tom.

"The environment: these tracks bring me to a very quiet & calm part of my day, in a space where I don’t have to do anything but listen. I am in a sunlit room, the light is poured over the rug where I’m lying down and it’s so still I can see the dust particles in the air. These are moments of peace, nostalgia, and anxiety: thoughts can enter at their own pace & they can exist in the past, present, and future (I acknowledge, slightly anxiously, about how this time is already in the past)

The thought: music that moves me is both comforting and discomforting - its ethereal and mysterious, distant and haunting, but at the same time all familiar (like when u dream about something that feels real but you know its not…but was it?)

Some of these tracks are to get me into that state, pretty much the first half of the playlist (to be chilled). Then I’m able to wander into uncharted territory with last nine and that’s where a lot of my inspiration comes from when I produce. 

…there's an inherent ambiguity in human nature and I feel like the more you try to make sense of the unknown, the harder it is to see how beautiful (and enticing) the ambiguity is… a lot of that  ambiguity is explained to me through music…"
