‘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.

As summer finally rears its beautiful face, without the shroud of covid to mask its beauty, our limbs start to thaw out and our minds can finally start to unwind. My god, it has been a year; full of ups and downs and smiles and frowns. It’s safe to presume that we all can’t wait to see the other side of it. In this weird musical bubble, however, lockdowns have been fruitful. A silver lining of the silver lining, this offering to the sun god’s is a fitting way to kiss this year goodbye. Said special offering comes from Naarm local Sam Howard aka Ham.

Sam, a fellow wordsmith, and brethren of the beat. She knows her way around the decks, as well as the keyboard. An expert on reporting on, and to the dance floor. A musical journo with a sense of all sides of the dice, bias maybe, but never wrong. A lethal entity when put behind the decks, it’s easy to hear how she exploits her natural sense of rhythm for the powers of good. 

The mix itself is a perfect accompaniment to a backyard soiree to celebrate the coming of the warmth and the return of the outdoor dance. As chill as it is moving, this mix gently coaxes you through the motions to get your body moving again. It is dappled with transcendence and sprinkled with a familiar four by four to bait the mind back to those euphoric moments in the dust listening to loud music. A polite travel guide to convey you from the couch to the dance floor with plenty of stops to rest and replenish. Truly a joy to listen to, this is the soundtrack to begin a weekend away with your dear friends, or kick ons with your step-parents.

Juanita's Mix 096 with Kia @kia-sydney

Q. How would you describe yourself?
A. easily distracted, busy bee, passionate, nomadic, pensive.. :)

Q. What was your last memorable club night in NYC?
A. nowadays nonstop in may was epic.. that room is honestly the dream in the right context. the lighting and sound is so on point and the energy during my set time was so infectious (I played 3.30-6am before the legend PLO man). also special shout-out to groovy groovy which i played in july :) DIY parties are always extra special when done right

Q. Tell us a little bit about this mix.
A. this is a very honest/ sombre personal diary I’ve been compiling all year. it’s almost for me the musical embodiment of an infinite plane ride.. watching the sun rise and then set and then rise again. also an ode to all the new & old people that were in my life this year.

this year brought lots of purgatory moments, lots of solo transit.. times of isolation and change, also new friends, positive growth, and people coming into my life… so I guess it’s supposed to represent the ups and downs, change and the journey,

I was struggling to finish the mix and it was sitting at 80% complete for the last little while but I feel like the current situation in Palestine </3 really inspired the missing pieces of the mix. for me, I use music and storytelling as an outlet for frustration and emotion generally. lots of old classics in this and pensive moments.. hope the listeners can feel some of that emotion through listening too..

Oroko Radio Guest Mix: Dub Patternist w/ livwutang

@syberkid creates a journey through the flames, leaving us with the burning embers of an eclectic mix of drone and ambient harmony. This was recorded live at the ‘Burning of The Clavie’ at MKII in London, on January 11th 2025.

This artwork is a collaboration between Sybil, Adam, and Mark, creating cymatics of sonic experimentation, and with each installment of the series, we will explore turning a fraction of sound into light. 🎨

Honey Trap with Second Contact @ The Lot Radio 06-12-2025

Pastige presents a mix that abandons linearity in favor of a world of textures, a collage of sounds unfolding like a series of rooms. The set is immersive and spatial, where sound becomes architecture.

Shifting between unease and open soundscapes, the mix resists settling. Echoes of trip-hop, touches of post-rock, and bursts of distortion appear, but genre gives way to mood, intuition, and atmosphere. 

Acoustic and electronic elements blend into a kind of sonic meditation in a very immersive way. Hints of nature, ritual, and the occult surface through textured layers, giving the mix a shifting, otherworldly feel.

This project follows loose threads rather than a fixed structure, covering a lot of ground in just over an hour. Its freeform layering invites repeated listens, each time revealing something new.

A guided descent into the in-between, tactile, cinematic, and quietly spellbound.

With a penchant for subtle groove and emotive shifts between genres, Kia’s sound centres itself around bass, IDM and the deeper reaches of techno.
