We are honoured to welcome, an artist who needs no introduction, local icon Simon TK.  His work curating label Club Derange and Skylab radio, as well as his illustrious deejay career both solo and with Waxo paradiso  is instrumental in making our Naarm scene tick. Someone we’ve personally idolised here at Neurocrank from his sunrise sets at Pitch to club nights at Colour, Simon’s sets have always inspired us to dig a little deeper. No exception here, Simon has blessed us with an hour of deep proggy blends xx

Lisene

As the son of an accomplished jazz guitarist and a pop singer, Lisene (Marlon Morris) was brought up surrounded by a wide spectrum of music from an early age. Growing up in the cultural melting pot of Brixton, his exposure to DIY soundsystem culture, as well as his own musical experimentations with family and friends, naturally lead to an interest in both the scientific and musical side of studio work.
After relocating to Leeds to study audio engineering, he released two records on the then-unknown but now highly sought after 'day by day' label, informed by 90s techno, IDM, and trance.

This was followed by a collaboration with his friend of over 15 years Adam Pits, with their first release as Space Cadets on Seven Hills picking up a huge amount of attention and landing them a string of gigs across both the UK and EU. No stranger to burning the midnight oil to hunt for tracks, Lisene's record bag is of the highest standard, diverse and full of surprises. Channelling the spirit of the 90s through the sound of the future via a stash of 12" obscurities that would be the envy of a collector twice his age, his sets flit around the psychedelic fringes where techno, trance, breaks and electro meet, weaving together a sonic tapestry far greater than the sum of its parts.
He displayed all of this next to astronauts like No Moon, Peach, Objekt, D.Tiffany and plenty of other space explorers.

With multiple Space Cadets EPs and his own work about to launch on some of the biggest labels in the scene, as well as his sublime collaborative project On Rotation catching absolute fire with their second release by Solar Suite just out including a Roza Terenzi Remix. We warn you not to blink as this guy is moving at the speed of light, so without further ado enjoy this 2,5h mix recorded at Wire, Leeds.

As @sleepd, childhood friends Maryos Syawish and Corey Kikos have greatly helped shape Melbourne's underground scene over the last decade. Between them, they have Iraqi and Maltese heritage and put out music on the likes of Incienso, Play On and Cocktail d'Amore Music as well as their own blog/party/label Butter Sessions. Like their expressive live show, it explores "the rave unconscious" so think everything from dreamy pads to driving rhythms, gritty electro to cosmic techno. 

This week's podcast is a superb showcase of their style: a mix that is constantly on the move, building momentum as rhythms go from elastic and bouncy to more driving and sleek. Percussion is perfectly sprinkled in to give extra texture, while nebulous synths add the colour as the pressure builds and builds. This is physical, psychedelic, emotional, trance-inducing electronic music that follows the familiar arc of a well-executed mix but in all new and unfamiliar ways.

It's been a while since our last entry in the mix series, but we're back with a bang with this one from Berlin's DJ TEETH 💥

As head honcho of the Hypersoft party series, Santi has been responsible for bringing some of our favourite artists such as Bliss Inc, Jane Fitz, Carl H and Solar Suite together under one roof for his legendary extended monthly parties.

Not only that, his bouncy, dynamic sets have been making waves thanks to his innate sense of fun and deep collection. It's a pleasure to present this all-vinyl mix from him bridging the gap between a diverse smorgasbord of different psychedelic sounds. Thanks Santi!

Very pleased to be immortalising Hannah D's set from 19:30 - 21:30 at Moniker.

Visualise it: The sun has just gone home for the day, the lights have fired up and the funktions have just shifted into fourth. You're with your mates, layers aplenty, well fed and ready for the night. Hannah's on? Life's good.

Live at Moniker - Hannah D

Taking over Tapes #83 is Hybrid Man, the electronic music project of Naarm-based duo Julien Huynh and Will Holden. Formed in late 2018, the pair’s live set suspends time - drawing you in deep for a moment of keen introspection before erupting into euphoric electronica. 
Keenly, the imaginative world induced nods at dance music past and present, where it fuses ambient soundscapes with IDM, 90s trance, dubbed-out house, techno and beyond for an all-immersive and timeless experience. 

 At the forefront of Hybrid Man’s union is a mutual penchant for hardware-based production. This passion sees the duo side-by-side maneuvering their equipment with the precision of surgeons, championing left-field sonic artifacts, environmental recordings and manually-played improvisatory instrumentation. A patchwork of influences; Hybrid Man have trailblazed the contemporary downtempo meets techno movement in Naarm, peppering their sound to technical finesse with dub-style mixing and effects.
