For this month show on @nts-latest I had the honnor to have @ptrckrssll guesting. 
Patrick Russell is a true veteran of the US underground scene and beyond. A genuine sonic storyteller, he magically transforms the essences of sound into pure lighting emotions that pierce through the soul, a sonic dialog that never fails to devastate both minds and dance floor. He is one of my favorite dj/producer of all times and a constant inspiration, he is someone to be experienced. 

For this month show we explore the energies of this past week's Super Full Moon in the watery sign of Scorpio. 
As the Moon is also ruled by the element of water, our heightened senses are our guide, and help us to travel into a deeper state of awareness and understanding. 
This sensitive Full Moon not only supports psychic cleansing and release, but it also holds some
 i l l u m i n a t i n g and a w a k e n i n g energy.
Scorpio energy is ruled by Pluto, and just a day after this Full Moon, Pluto enters the underworld for its annual retrograde. Pluto is the planet of death and rebirth, so keep in mind that whatever has fallen away has not been lost. It is simply undergoing a t r a n s f o r m a t i o n and you will start to see signs of the rebirth under this Scorpio Full Moon.
Uranus, the planet of awakening and surprises, is also very active on this Full Moon leaving us feeling a little frazzled by the time the Moon blossoms into fullness. If you are feeling scattered, be sure to stay grounded and practice self-care. Know that whatever is making you feel restless can also serve as a clue as to what you need to d i v e  d e e p e r  into. Sometimes when agitated or anxious energy arises, we want to push it away. But what Scorpio energy tries to show and teach us is that sometimes the only way out is t h r o u g h. 
Instead of trying to skate the surface, we instead, dive in, and allow ourselves to explore whatever we find, no matter how uncomfortable it can be. 
Brace ourselves and surrender to these energies that will soon pass and leave us with new wisdom, a deeper understanding, greater compassion, and a bigger understanding of the whole.

Happy Full Moon and enjoy the show. 

See you next month. ♅ ♇

Read our interview with diskonnected here: https://www.patternsofperception.com/post/a-chat-with-diskonnected

As resident of the revered Taiwanese platform @smokemachinetaipei, @diskonnected is both a tastemaker and selector of wide esteem.
Having been an integral member of the Smoke Machine crew for over a decade, his vision has shaped both the style and presence of the platform, culminating in a range of cutting edge, high-profile events in Taiwan and around the globe, and the irreplaceable Smoke Machine Podcast, which has comfortably been one of the most respected and insightful sources of truth within the wider techno scene since its inception ten years ago.

On a personal level, diskonnected’s wide-ranging and intricately selected sounds are a true local fixture in Taiwan, but his natural prowess and flair as a DJ has seen him reach crowds the world over, with appearances at a multitude of key events in Germany, the UK, Holland, South Korea, Japan, the US and more recently in Streamland, to name but a few. 

Recorded live at a recent event at Pawnshop in Taipei, Patterns of Perception 83 finds diskonnected in an energetic mood, as he takes a vivid, groove-laden dive into the world of contemporary drum & bass. 
In this set, an impeccable array of textures flow effortlessly alongside powerful, irrepressible rhythms to exhilarating effect. Feeling simultaneously invigorating and nostalgic, these 81 mins perfectly capture the colour, vibrancy and spirit of a proper club night in full swing.

Live recording of my set on the sunday afternoon of @parallelfestival 2022

The recording of my set at Paral·lel Festival 2022 🌲⛰🧡 @parallelfestival

I was on 12.30-14.30 on Saturday afternoon. When I started playing, grey hazy clouds were still drifting across the panorama from Friday night’s storm, and by the end of my set, the sun was shining down on all of us.

This set meant a great deal to me, and being gifted the task of drifting from ambient expansion into trippy rhythms, coaxing everyone up off the floor and into movement, was such a dream.

Hope you enjoy this memory from an amazing weekend in those magical mountains 🧚✴️

Kia is an acclaimed Australian DJ & founder of the Animalia & Cirrus labels. A highly skilled selector and open-eared music digger, who is ever searching tirelessly for lost obscurities and hidden gems. On the dancefloor her sound spans bass heavy rhythms, IDM and the deeper shades of techno.

About the mix Kia said: “This mix is a big amalgamation of sets and moods I've been playing recently on my travels in Mexico, Colombia, the US & Canada, and some shades and new styles influenced by my time in Latin America & Detroit specifically. Like a travel diary in a mix :) ”

At Monument Festival 2022 Kia gifted us with the perfect afternoon set, laying down three hours of tightly woven hypnotic grooves. This year she will be closing out Friday night playing b2b with Polygonia. Not to be missed.

MNMT 422 : Kia

For the 22nd episode of our Herbarium mix series, we have the pleasure to feature our label head @polygonia. She put together a journey which leads us through organic breakbeats combined with funky yet trippy dubstep tunes leading over to Four on the Floor madness and back.

Polygonia chose the ancient Ginkgo tree for her musical journey:
Choosing the Ginkgo Biloba tree as the topic for my mix resonates deeply with its unique and ancient characteristics such as resilience and adaptability through millions of years. The tree's versatility gave me the perfect inspiration to explore various genre styles and put them together in a coherent way. Ginkgo Biloba's distinct, fan-shaped leaves evoke a sense of rhythm and movement, akin to the pulsating beats of this musical story. Additionally, the tree's symbolism of longevity and endurance aligns with the enduring appeal and transformative power of these tracks.

Ciao tutti 💖
So happy to share the recording from my last set at Open Ground from December 2024. 

It was an emotional journey ~ I wanted to tell a story of diving into underwater dream lands, where spirit guides and glitchy creatures meet and send us messages from the other side... where sound takes over the brain and opens something in the heart and body.
I waved through many genres ~ ambient, jungle, electro, dubstep, drill, jazz, techno and the wonky in-between. It felt like I had the chance to express a fuller spectrum of who I am as a music lover. 🙏

That night, I had the honour of opening for the legend Surgeon ~ someone who’s deeply inspired my path since the very beginning. Sharing that moment with him and connecting was just wow. 🥹

Open Ground truly is one of the most special places on earth ~ the care, the sound, the freedom, the community, the crew… just perfection. 

So grateful to be invited back this saturday ! (26.07.2025) 
Don’t skip ~ come sweat and feel with us 🌀💎💦

~ with love & gratitude ~

This week. welcoming a dear friend and one of my all-time favourite DJs & producers, Swiss wizard @agonis-amenthia - part of the mystical Basel crew - @amenthia-recordings.

A "techno" sound so unique, modern & boundary pushing, it makes you question the genre entirely. Agonis has become known for his bass, techno, dub, idm-everything.. infused releases, always meticulous and full of surprises. On top of a an extremely reliable and exciting back-catalogue of music and always on-point curation of Amenthia alongside his label co-head Garcon, he is also an incredible DJ. Here for Animalia a special mix inspired by many special shared moments on the dancefloor <3  pure euphoria!

Thanks so much for this Dominic it's a pleasure to have you in the series :-)
