"I almost always get started on mixes from falling in love with a particular song and the moods it evokes. I then try to find other songs to extend and develop that feeling further. In the case of this mix the anchor song was ‘Jungle is a Shapeshifter’ by Rainforest Spiritual Enslavement, which was first encountered during restorative yin yoga class back in 2019. It got played almost every day in my room throughout 2020. It helped me to feel calm and set the backdrop for my mind drifting off to wonderful, quiet places. On a few occasions I would look over my shoulder and find my cat Romeo blissing out to it too. Being able to share the enjoyment with him made it even more special.

I hope this mix helps the listener feel something like what Romeo and I felt in those days. 

Big gratitude to all the music makers and lots of love to everyone else who’s out there. May you be happy, may you find peace." - @earlgreyradio

Animix Fifty Six: Santilli

Millú - and I was looking for you

For home use only’ is an anti-club social, a chance to get to know someone/something. A series of transmissions purely dedicated to exploring the other side.

Welcome back folks to another episode of the ‘staying inside and minding your own business’. This tale is brought to you by the ever fearless, Jess Zammit aka lil chug. Jess is an absolute powerhouse, her no-bullshit approach to “dance” music has cemented her as a mainstay in Melbourne scene (rip) and her genuine steeze will cement a place in your brain. From henceforth this transmission shall be known as “#41”.

This mix is an absolute bowl of red hot magma oozing over the edges of reality itself. Liquid dream’s from start to finish, the moon has nothing to do with this tide. Subtle circadian rhythms maneuvering in and out of consciousness, more blends than Nescafé. A perfect accompaniment for when we can have two friends over for dinner (again), you’ve had more bottles than you thought, and someone finds a quarter full bag in their coin pocket. 

Enjoy what you can. Love who you are.

2021's first mix in line comes all the way from sunny Australia by dear friend Lauren Hansom (@laurenhansom). Interview (excerpt) down below.

MFM: Welcome on board Lauren. How was your start of the new year? It's summer where you are now right? That must be nice :)

LH: Hiii! Thanks for having me onboard :) The New Year has been great. Spent time surfing & soaking up sunshine in Australia.

MFM: You moved back to Australia last year. What has been keeping you busy there since? 

LH: I moved from Amsterdam to Berlin at the end of 2019 and went to Oz in February 2020 for a holiday. COVID hit, so I ended up staying. An easy decision with nature, beaches, food etc. Although, I’ve pretty much been living out of a suitcase as the majority of my stuff is in Berlin. I bought a Yamaha RM1X & a Poly800 last year to do some music and learnt The Mandalorian theme tune. I’ve also been learning more about quantum mechanics & biology plus space, which actually led me to find more cosmic sounds in genres from IDM to new wave for example. Imagining space with a multitude of soundscapes is pretty neat. 

MFM: While many DJs jumped on the streaming bandwagon it looks like you kept rather quiet over the last months. Is that for a reason? Did you maybe find other ways to creatively let go, or...?

LH: Thought you wouldn’t have noticed - was secretly trying to pull off a “Homer Simpson disappearing into the hedge”. Streaming is a great way for people to stay connected given the circumstances. For me, having a live crowd is always part of my process. No crowd, no party (or a one person party - not bad for these days, actually...). Also not having any gear here made it hard, especially with lockdown and social distancing.

MFM: Things were going really well for you as a DJ, your career seemed to be in a lift. What do you now hope for when touring becomes an option again? Has 2020 changed your perspective? 

LH: Thank you for saying so. I was pretty overwhelmed by how often I was playing and am grateful for it. It’s still very much a “pinch-my-arm” thought. I really would love to continue sharing tunes & creating musical experiences in some capacity. I’ve been thinking about Music Supervision within film & TV, so have been spending time on the side looking into that.

MFM: I've heard quite a few DJs saying they lost the urgency or need to listen to dance(floor) music. How is that for you? Have you been keeping track with new music lately at all? 

LH: I’m always listening to different styles, especially non-club music as it’s sort of where I started. Although I’ve enjoyed the holiday of not having to find a billion new tracks before every weekend, I’ve still been following new releases & it’s been interesting to hear how music has been shaped by the pandemic.

MFM: How would you describe that shape shifting? 

LH: I noticed more people collaborating from afar due to social distancing, restrictions and general lockdown. I think this allowed for some experimentation in a way and often that leads to something surprising and new. Sonically and stylistically, I think 2020 was really diverse as opposed to previous years where there was definitely a “Sound of Summer” so to say. There were also a great deal of compilations for new music to support artists affected by event cancellations and club closures.

MFM: About the mix, do you actually prefer a mix request to come with some kind of theme or direction to it, or do you value the freedom more? 

LH: Both. It’s nice having a brief as it gives you boundaries & pushes your creativity. Sometimes too much freedom can make it difficult. That said, I’m always imaging stories & daydreaming, so often the imagery in my mind’s eye gives me a good starting point. Once I have an idea, I create a selection of music & work out a way to make it all flow until there is some sense of an emotional ark & musical journey.
