o•rbyss aims to help soothe the queer spectrum and focus on the well-being of the community. Queer DJs are invited to submit a mix to showcase an alternative side to their music library outside of a rave and take us on a meditative journey. ✨

Notes on the mix:

"After some excellent contributions to the o•rbyss series by friends of mine, I was invited to record a mix. Ambient and downtempo have long been part of my listening habits — often as tools for focus, unwinding, or finding comfort. I hadn’t listened to these styles much recently, but after a particularly reflective year, this mix felt like the perfect chance to reconnect and create some catharsis for myself. It’s a personal one, moving through moody and introspective moments before ending on a hopeful and uplifting note. I’m grateful for the opportunity and excited to share it - I hope it brings warmth and joy for anyone who listens, just as it has for me."

Command Control is a DJ and producer from London. He released his first EP ‘Essence’ in 2014, fusing his penchants for Dub, Detroit and UK techno.

o•rbyss - Command Control

o•rbyss offers a sanctuary for the queer community to decompress - providing spaces to dive into, where we can embrace the beauty of diversity, cultivate connections while nurturing our wellbeing.

Amidst the flashing lights and chaos of the queer rave scene, there is a deep desire that unites us all, the longing to connect and be part of a community. Beyond the electrifying energy of the dance floor, it is important to nourish these connections and dissolve barriers.

/ˈɔ•bɪɪs/

A vast, mysterious expanse that exists between worlds, often described as a swirling, endless void of shifting colors and lights. A liminal space, a bridge between dimensions or states of consciousness.
