@simon-tk can  i steal this gem here? so sick!

Entering our minds through the rumbling of bass bins planted firmly on the ocean floor, Cousin’s deep earth rhythms span wide, from massage chair dubs on 7" to peak time dust burners echoing live under the stars. Summoning sounds from well below the surface and far beyond the ozone layer, we're treated here to a blissed out blend of atmospheric groovers inspired by the natural surrounds of the Moonshoe boss' daily commute.

@simon-tk

Simon TK is a multifaceted music operator. A true champion of diversity in sound and community, it’s hard to overstate the impact that Simon has had on the Melbourne music community across his over-a-decade long involvement in all areas of the scene.

At the heart of this involvement is Simon’s expansive musical knowledge. An exceptionally versatile DJ, Simon is one of those rare selectors you could call upon to soundtrack almost any occasion - not just appropriately but perfectly. From psych-rock to psy-trance, rare digs or hands in the air, Simon particularly thrives in environments that challenge people’s perception of reality and identity.

Outside Djing, Simon’s community care and sprawling networks have led to two quintessential projects that continue to foster spaces for conversation and connection. In 2018 he co-founded Skylab, an online radio station that has become a vital platform for diverse musical voices and showcasing the very best in local and international talent. On the more playful side of things, Simon has built, curated and cultivated the now-institution that is Wax’o Paradiso alongside long-term collaborator Ed Fisher. Having recently celebrated its 10-year anniversary this legendary events series turned record label herds 1000s of ecstatic punters every year whilst unearthing and releasing contemporary antipodean sounds.

From his deep musical knowledge to his community-first ethos, Simon TK continues to inspire, connect, and challenge, embodying the spirit of Melbourne’s ever-evolving music culture. Simon’s guest mix was broadcast live on the 8th November, 2024 on PBS106.7fm.

Richard Akingbehin Live @NYE 2025

Transmitting from one of Belgium’s most promising electronic dance spaces, the Garage at Horst club. It’s the most intimate room of the club. Ko-designed, ko-invented and ko(be)-built by the deejay behind this live recorded Basic Moves mix: Kuba’97 ! 

Kobe is part of the early generation of Horst alumni. From his early 20ies he has been involved in this world leading and ultra professional hybrid architecture, art, culture and (club) music festival. They are organising a yearly festival in May and a burgeoning club space that operates throughout the rest of the year on the Asiat site just outside of Brussels. Back in 2018 Kobe started together with a crew of music heads and dreamers a nightlife collective called nacht which operated from the socio-cultural spot Stelplaats in Louvain. This being said Kobe is also the head of production at our Beautiful Freaks parties, a fantastic cook, creative DIY handy person, cider maker, pizza master & great human to have around anytime of the day or night. 

Now let’s put some attention to what Kobe loves the most … records! He has been working hard, digging through the fruitful orchard that is dance music (and beyond), to make his own special brew. This live recording is a perfect reflection of what he loves and has discovered over the last couple of years. We hear shreds of deep techno, spaced out minimal, 80s inspired body music workouts, psychedelic oddities, proggy weird b-sides…and more; definitely not the easiest spread to put together. In Kobe’s hands these three and a half hours are a cruizin’ ride, produced in the dj booth he has built and danced-to by the community Brussels has been (re)building over the last decade … with Kuba’97 unquestionably at the heart of it.

Neverending sounds w/ DJ Rino & Godero @ GIMIC - 18 July 2025

For our next instalment we draw from our own fertile waters. This time with a two hour recording from Bakk Heia resident and label partner schuttle. 

Schuttle has been a resident DJ and sporadic guest of the Bakk Heia parties since their inception. In fact he played our very first party in TWH nearly 10 years ago, at a time when the sky lights were yet to be covered and day light would filter unashamedly over the dancers as the sun rose. It came to our attention that since that set, schuttle hadn’t set forth on a solo flight, so it seemed high time for him to spread his tentacles over the closing hours. 

Through this mix schuttle channels the seething energy that is only possible during those final hours. The part timers have left, the room is totally locked in and the allure of chaos is strong. As such, it invites the dancer to delve a little deeper, perfectly navigating the dark into light. Often hypnotic and tunnelling, sometimes euphoric, sometimes explosive, but always directly from the heart. It was a truly beautiful experience to witness such a concise and coherent artistic expression from someone who understands, on a fundamental level, the power these hours can have, and what they mean to us. 

As the lights came on at 7am, there was palpable outpouring of love. The closing moments evoke that beautiful feeling of returning somewhere familiar. Wrapped together in euphoric joy.

Iron Pulse

In Japanese, GAMAN is the quiet strength to carry what feels unbearable, with patience as a shield and dignity as a compass.
In Persian, it is the act of imagining, believing, assuming — the mind’s way of shaping what has not yet come to pass.

Between these two meanings lies a fragile but powerful bridge:
the endurance to remain rooted in the storm,
and the imagination to glimpse another horizon.

Gaman is both the anchor and the sail —
the stillness that withstands, and the vision that transforms waiting into becoming.
