I was incredibly lucky to have Bristol-based DJ @monokedj joining me for this months Netil show!

I first fell in love with Monoke's sound after listening to her @hawsmusic mix - she's the queen of dubby, percussive techno and driving, bassy tunes, and this mix has honestly blown me away all over again. Strap yourselves in for a serious journey of swelling deep atmospheres, pummelling drums and criss-crossing textures🌀

CommaCast 063: Monoke

The 6th contribution to the Voyage series is gifted to us by the mesmerizing Monoke; or as we are so blessed to know her as, Ellie Gillan. 

A pure and spiritual being; whose essence is communicated through their immense track selection and ability to curate. 'Zion' embarks on a journey led by the drum, synthesizing a ritualistic ceremony with a trajectory towards celebration.

A deeply moving story, enriched with an empirical perspective. Ellie communicates this story via the vehicle of fantasy, creating an enthralling new environment on Plantera; the cave of Zion. 

Welcome to Plantera, Ellie!
___

"I had heard whispers of a surreal existence of Zion on Plantera. A place where people are synced with the ritualistic nature of the drum. Recreating ceremonies that our ancestors would draw people together with. Dancing with their spirits and the impenetrable bind between the community. 

Carelessly, a lonely path was one I had taken these last few years, but something sparked within me that it was time to find my people. 

I kept this glimmer of hope in my mind as I wander aimlessly amongst the sand and sun for days. There are no nights on this side of Plantera. 

A mound slowly appears in the distance. As I near closer it begins to block the sun, giving me relief from the piercing light. As my eyes adjust, I edge forward and feel a cool sharp sensation.

A sheer glisten catches my eye and dances into the distance. She feels familiar. I aimlessly follow her through the depths of these shallow rock caves. Feeling this light had given me a hope for something. 

I halt and see if my eyes can adjust to what lies ahead. She notices the halt and glides towards me, floating on the cold misty air. I reach to touch her, to see if she was real or if my imagination had taken over my vision, and she whisked herself away. 

I feel the warmth of her trail - a spirit of Plantera. An auburn shade begins to climb the wall of rock surrounding me. Harmonies play with my eardrums and my heart starts to open with relief, a sign of life. Yet, so much more was ahead than I ever could have imagined. 

As she disappears through the cave walls above, I allow the light and sounds to guide me. A warm glaze reveals a deep opening at the foot of the cave. I see hazily through the veil; fire, surrounded by other beings. Beings like me. 

Music beats from the heart of the fire, her flames change from white to orange. Embodiment; it was as if the rhythm of flame controlled each beat. Never had I witnessed such conscious movement before.  

The whispers of Zion were true. 

As I try to enter through the veil, a resistance holds me back. The veil starts to solidify and won’t allow me through. Heads begin to turn towards me, making their way to where I stood. I stay firmly put, unsure as to what they were about to do. 

Hands permeate the veil, beckoning me to take hold. After a few moments of hesitation; I remember how after such solitude, I found trust. 

I reach forward and tender, soft hands slowly pull me forward. Kind and loving faces look upon me as if we were lost friends aiming to
 find our way back to each other. But now we had found home. We all smile and walk towards the fire together, holding onto one another in a warm embrace. 

I thought about the spirit, and whether she had brought us all here one by one, knowing that this is where our people were. Bringing us back to Zion, a place where you find your community after being lost for so long. We all join together in dance and celebration, being led by the beat of the drum. 

I had heard the whispers of a surreal existence of Zion on Plantera. I now know how much more this was than the tales told, as no-one can understand a feeling until they have felt it. A gift that your heart can give to you and others. And when it is shared, it grows amongst people and can save you more than you think." - @monokedj

ETHAN MCNAMARA - LEGRAMCAST 04

Tentacular invite Gillan (Octobre 2023)

We're very excited to welcome Dj wiggles to the series who has quickly become a firm favourite of ours via mixes and shows on Kindred, Netil Radio, Rinse FM and Origin Tapes to name a few.  

With a regular show on Netil Radio, Dj wiggles is breaking through the London club scene and beyond. Founder of the event and mix series' kinetic and off limits, Dj wiggles is here to mainly give a platform emerging artists with the hope of being able to help build the artist's profile, in turn gaining more regular gigs and enter a scene which often times feels off limits as well as encourage more diverse lineups within nightlife. 

Leaning more into the trippy, wormhole soundscapes, the past year in particular has seen Dj wiggles play iconic events and venues including the likes of Risen festival, Colour Factory, Bodily, Patterns, Above Below festival and more (definitely recommend checking out Dj wiggles' set from Above Below once you've finished here!) 

Definitely one on the rise - read more about Dj wiggles history and relationship with music, early and formative gig memories, influences and her approach to DJing in our interview here: https://www.untitled909.com/untitled-909-podcast-170-dj-wiggles/

Our next podcast release comes from Dublin based @fuaimdub resident @highingfly, who takes you from peak time to early morning with this bouncy yet mystical mix. 

Check out our interview with him below

Sean, he/him, Dublin 

+ 𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐮𝐬 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐢𝐱
For the concept of this mix I wanted to put together a selection of tracks inspired by some of my favourite moments on the dance floor this year. Those times when the night stretches into early morning, and the energy is electric, yet the atmosphere is mystical and dark.

For the mix I tried to focus on the stripped back low-end driven sides of trance and progressive music, hopefully capturing the energy and atmosphere of those memorable sections of club nights.

As the mix unfolds, there's a progression in energy to play on being drawn deeper into those nights where you can feel that building sense of liveliness and anticipation.

+ 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐚 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐲 / 𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐛 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐧’𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮’𝐝 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐨?
@subsystem-transmissions and @sustain-release-nyc look incredible 

+ 𝐚 𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐲 𝐲𝐨𝐮’𝐝 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐢𝐠 𝐮𝐩?
Unfortunately Dublin’s party scene is fairly limited because of the laws around opening hours which are hopefully changing soon, but I really like what @the_solace_space are doing as a party and a collective 

+ 𝐚 𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐃𝐉 𝐲𝐨𝐮’𝐝 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐢𝐠 𝐮𝐩?
Have to big up my @fuaimdub companions @sandrewsmusic, @steckybone and @feargaloconnell, all amazing djs and people

Wasn’t a club experience but it would have to be @draaimolen this year, it was something very special to witness and I was riding a high after it for weeks

+ 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐛𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐲?
Needs to have a crispy and punchy sound system, then some trippy minimal lighting, an energetic crowd with lots of space and probably somewhere in nature like a forest or a mountain range 

+ 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐢𝐧?
How friendly everyone is, I didn’t realise this until someone mentioned it to me recently, but after doing a bit of travelling and thinking about it Dublin does have a special way about it when it comes to the people. There’s warmness and friendliness you experience on a night out that’s hard to find anywhere else

+ 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐭𝐰𝐨 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐢𝐱 𝐭𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫?
The vocals of Paranoid London's "Paris Dub 1" over Mr. G's "Let Down (Badly)" – they complement each other perfectly.

kinetic mix 018: Highing Fly "dark mornings"

Gillan is a Dorset based artist and has been making her mark for the last few years with her eclectic selections in underground dance music, across the different spectrums of Ambient, Experimental, Techno and Trance. The curation of her mixes and sets are wired with a ritualistic intention of connecting us to the other wordly states that psychedelic & cosmic music can put us in, which allows us to form a profound relationship with the ancestral origin of sound and rhythm by connecting us to something so much deeper & greater than us. All carried by the subliminal undertones of how deeply meditative and transcendental music can be. 

Today iteration will be "an exploration of subliminal textures & fast paced rhythms to guide us back to a place that feels familiar but has no name."

Descend into the obscure.

In this set Philip Kylberg explores new boundaries of introspective sonics carried by pumping rhythmics, experimenting with new unreleased material and binaural beats.
The environment that is crafted is meant to expand the mind into a journey through darker facets of inner self.

#35 - Philip Kylberg - Bottomless Pit

"This mix is inspired by life on a microscopic scale. I drew from two different topics I have been reading about over the past year or two, the first being moss & lichen, and the second being quantum physics. Robin Wall Kimerer’s writing on moss introduces the reader to a tiny world teeming with life beyond our vision, and Carlo Rovelli’s writing on quantum physics attempts to help us understand the minute & strange fabric from which reality is theoretically woven. 

The word subtle can be read as describing something delicately complex & understated, as well as something arranged in an ingenious & elaborate way. Thus, the plane of subtle form paints an image of the intricate realm of the minutiae. Moving through rainforests of moss and gorges of bark, the mix traverses this infinitesimal yet vast expanse. Becoming gradually more abstract towards its centre, things break down completely at a moment of quantum instability, a leap between one state and the next. We emerge into a new place in an instant and continue forth into the strange & unpredictable beauty of our natural world." 

Bio: Born in London & having lived in Bristol, James Laing aka Night Garden draws from the sounds of those two cities, alongside musical knowledge gained during his classical compositional training. With releases on Melifera, Bahn, Indefinite Pitch & Breatice M's hybrid Dubstep label, Bait, Night Garden aims to create richly psychedelic & hypnotic pieces which combine modern sound design with classical theoretical concepts. 

Night Garden is a musical project embodying an imagined space between our conscious reality & the land of dreams. It is a liminal point in space & time; a home to drifting forms & sounds unknown. Suspended in a twilight haze, its nebulous inhabitants float into distant obscurities, shedding ephemeral traces from their transient skin.
