At the controls of the next Voyage to Plantera is a long time source of inspiration to ourselves, Tywi - or as we more fondly know him as, Eben.

One of the brains behind 'Haŵs' - the Cardiff based label and party series which since inception has impressed in all corners of the globe. Eben has consistently pushed sounds that resonate with us here at Plantera HQ.

Whether that be curating dancefloor journeys with his extensive wax collection or through mind-warping productions - namely his recent four-track slammer 'Reality Checkpoint' released on Belfast imprint, Duality Trax.

An absolute dream for us to have such a lovely and talented human at the helm for this voyage, big love Eben <3 


"Welcome to 'Spirit Land,' in the enchanting realm of Plantera. A place within our own minds, accessible to all, where our spirits roam free.

On this voyage through the mystical landscape of Plantera, the adventure begins with an introductory passage transporting you directly to the shores of the otherworldly land. 

A sonically coherent journey free from constraints or linearity - exeplifying the first steps in this unfamiliar, uncharted terrain. 

An unpredictable traverse filled with twists, turns, moments of euphoria, and serene interludes – an exploration, as exciting as it is contemplative, guided by the beat. 

‘Spirit Land' is an invitation to simply let go and immerse yourself in the experience of sound."

Our next mix comes from an elusive vinyl DJ based in Naarm, earthwalker (FKA Sommi). We've been following earthwalker for some time, admiring their contributions to @vortexvortexvortex @animalia-label and @meltmelbourne for their endlessly classy selections and super slick vinyl mixing.

Following suit, earthwalker delivers an hour of fun, groovy tech and progressive house of both the old and new varieties - perfect party vibes for the upcoming summer in the southern hemisphere. We can't wait to see what's to come for this talented up-and-coming selector.

Thanks earthwalker for this stunner of a mix <3

Cousin is the founder of Moonshoe Records and is a talented producer who tends to focus on creating delicate soundscapes reflective of abstract environments and worlds.

His music is deep and pensive, at times club focussed yet at others anything but.

Over the past few years he has self released material on Moonshoe alongside records on the likes of Mood Hut and Well Street Records. His music has been supported broadly and his dj sets are versatile and multi faceted in respect to style and genre.

Cousin’s remarkable discography and dedication solidify him as a trendsetter in ambient techno and electronics. This mixtape offers a brief insight into his own taste and outlook when it comes to dance music – dubby, dusty and atmospheric throughout it really is quite the trip and is perfect as we approach the cold nights of winter and those dark early rises.

Q. Hey Hannah, what inspiration did you draw upon when putting this mix together? Is there a sound, feeling, or time/place in dance music history that connects all the different elements in one way or another?

A. Hey Myles! Thank you so much for having me on, I’m over the moon to be a part of the series. This mix is a bit of an ode to my favourite time and place to DJ — sunset at a festival or doof in the bush. When the day turns to night is such a special time, especially in these settings, and I really wanted to try and emulate that feeling — starting out soft and building into something a bit euphoric.

Q. Are there any records in the mix that are especially close to your heart, or new or old favourites that you’ve been keeping up your sleeve for the right moment?

A. Yes actually! One that comes to mind is Dario - Sweet Love (Evolution Mix). I found it a few years ago and was obsessed with it but the record was so expensive on Discogs (currently $200!) and I couldn’t find it anywhere else so I kinda gave up on it. When you asked me to do this mix I decided to have another look for it and ended up being able to trade someone for a rip of the vinyl. So happy to finally play it!! Another special one is Kalle-M - This Place. My partner David actually found this and sent it to me a while ago and I love it so much, so shout out to Dave for that one :) and a final special mention for Blue Noise - Coldflow which is close to the end. It gives me goosebumps every time, so intensely emotional and I would be crying if I heard this on a dancefloor!

Q. I know you’ve had quite the busy year on the events front, hosting a number of different parties with great local and international DJs as part of the Luna Blessings and Send/Return collectives. What were some of your favourite moments from the year that was, and what projects are you looking forward to working on in 2024?

A. Thank you! It’s been a crazy year looking back and I’m so grateful to be a part of so many special parties. A moment that stands out was the Waxo Paradiso x Hope Street Radio party the other week, the vibes were so perfect all day. This year I’ve actually played quite a lot of b2b sets which has been so fun, and I’ve had the chance to play interstate a couple of times and in Europe which was amazing :) We’ve got a super stacked year ahead with both Luna Blessings and Send/Return which I can’t wait for! We’re hosting one of my favourite artists ever for Luna in January which we’ll announce very soon. I’m looking forward to more of all of the above in 2024!

Iconic Naarm/Melbourne duo @claywaddell & @vitamin_d_ aka Activator (@activator-546298935) bring their signature energetic housey breaks & bounce for a mid summer hoorah.

So happy to have them as part o the series, thank you Clay & Jaevin <3 <3 <3

MDC 2023 Review

Extending a warm welcome to our good friend P.Bud! A wicked producer of swirling deep cuts and the solo brains trust behind the NYC based @aroniarecords, Philip's leanings span the intersecting vibe-sphere of groovy, dubby 90s house, early 00s tech house and prog with subtle deep hypnotic trance nods for the early morning inclined. 

Get set for two-hours of classy digs and exquisite blends from one of the realest out there!

Q. What inspiration did you draw upon when putting this mix together? Is there a sound, feeling, or time/place in dance music history that connects all the different elements in one way or another?

A. I moved to New York from Berlin a couple years ago and I’ve been so impressed and inspired by the North American scene since coming here. It’s so welcoming, inclusive, and community oriented, and is pushing really interesting music forward. This past festival season in particular was amazing. I attended Sustain Release for the first time and it totally blew my mind. Best Out Of Town, a festival organized by some friends in Canada that I played at, was also just next level. I definitely drew on those musical experiences when putting together this mix. 

I also love digging, so a lot of the records in this mix are ones I picked up in NY record shops–shout out to A1, Human Head, Boom Service, and Academy. I’ve been really into 90s / early 00s tech-house and progressive lately so that’s definitely the throughline in this mix. 

Q. Are there any records in the mix that are especially close to your heart, or old favourites that you’ve been keeping up your sleeve for the right moment?

A. In terms of records close to my heart, I’ve been obsessed with The Age Of Love Suite (Neverending Voice Mix) by Unity 3 for a while now, such a beautiful vocal trance track. I also just adore Groove Control by Variable Frequency Technician–when the pads come in it gets me every time. Those are both tracks I’ve had on repeat while cruising through the city on my bike and I’m glad I found places for them in this mix. 

I love making edits of tracks that are almost perfect but just need little tweaks to get them there. For example, Only When I'm Dancing Do I Feel This Disco by The Mighty Dub Cats is cheesy in the best possible way, but the breakdown is just too much so I took it out. Storyteller by Urban Clockers has an amazing groove but the arrangement was lacking so I worked on that. Groove Society - Push Upon It has been stuck in my head nonstop since I found it, but the pitch was drifting too much so I smoothed that out.  

Q. What’s the latest with your label Aronia Records? We’ve been treated to a couple of seriously deep, hypnotic and at times experimental dance records from yourself and the Toronto based producer Emissive in the past couple of years, is this the kind of direction you’ll be looking to explore even further with the label and your own production going forward?

A. Thanks for the kind words! I’ll definitely try to keep things ‘seriously deep’ haha :)

I want to focus on dancefloor material–it’s so rewarding seeing people move to Aronia tracks–but I’d also love for Aronia releases to work in different contexts too. I’ve been very lucky to collaborate with Evan (Emissive) in that regard, whose music ticks both those boxes. Resounding Yes for example is an amazing, hypnotic track that works both on headphones as on the floor. 

I’m lining up some releases for 2024, mainly my own productions so far. I’m always keen to put out other people’s music though, so please send stuff my way if you like our sound! I’d also love to get Aronia more involved in the NY scene, so I’m looking for ways to do that.

I’m partial to vinyl as a format, but it’s so costly and time consuming, and I’d really love to put out more music. So on top of vinyl, maybe there will be some digital only Aronia releases too. Maybe some Bandcamp or Nina Protocol exclusives? We’ll see.

Luca Lozano is back for an almost 2 hour special edition of 'EN LA MEZCLA'....this time journeying back to the early 2000s for a delve into early Electro House music.

Luca and Mr. Ho have been privately championing the return of this stiff and compressed sound for a while now, digging into various releases and are happy to share the first part of this mini mix-series with our listeners...part two coming soon from Mr. Ho.

In the words of Luca himself..."It jacks, it pops, it stomps and dare I say…it even fidgets."

ENJOY!
