@loiflan

Introduce yourself? Pronouns? Where do you currently reside? 1 fun fact about yourself?

Hi! My name is Declan (he/him), currently residing in Melbourne/Naarm. I’m trying to learn Hungarian at the moment so I can apply for dual citizenship.


How did you get your DJ name? 

I was at a festival a few years ago and while sitting around the campsite talking shit a few friends started coming up with nicknames for me. They eventually went from Declan > Lecdan > Doiflan > Loifdan. Drop the dan and ‘LOIF’ was born.

Dream line-up?

In no particular order:
Objekt
Livwutang
Roza Terenzi
Dregs (LIVE)
Bambounou
Harold
Aphex Twin (LIVE)
CCL
Polar
DJ Sprinkles
Moopie
DJ Stingray

Second pick for your DJ name?

Probably something with the word ‘Tek’ in it.

What is the theme song of your life?

What is your favorite time of day?

4:20

Any advice to upcoming producers/djs?

I think probably the hardest part of getting into either practice is the steep learning curve (especially with producing). What I found most helpful was learning from other people. When I first started playing around with mixing and buying records I was lucky that a large chunk of my mates were all getting into it at the same time. I spent sooooo many days just endlessly mixing with friends and we would constantly share music and ideas and concepts, many of which still inform my style today. I doubt I would’ve stuck with it if it wasn’t for such a passionate and supportive group of people I was lucky to learn with. Similar can be said about producing - I have found collaboration to be endlessly helpful. Every single time I’ve worked with other producers/musicians/mixing engineers etc. I’ve picked up at least one or two techniques or ideas that have been essential in the way I make music going forward. Everyone has a different way of doing things and you can only benefit from getting a wide range of perspectives on how people practice their craft.

Also, don’t be too concerned about buying super fancy top-of-the-line gear - if anything learning on a less than ideal set up can be beneficial going forward. I would probably be a much worse DJ if I hadn’t started mixing records on cheap audio-technica turntables. By the same token, having a limited set up when producing (ie. a shitty laptop, 2 VSTs and a handful of samples) is limiting but allows you to learn the basics without being overwhelmed and will make the transition to more complicated gear and techniques much smoother in the future.

What would you like to see in the future for the dance community?

There’s a lot that would be good to see but I think more emphasis on safer spaces for dancers, performers and artists are incredibly important. Unfortunately in Naarm unwanted attention, sexual abuse and sometimes violence is a regular occurence in a lot of clubs where promoters and venue owners don’t put the necessary work into making sure this type of behaviour is stamped out. When these safe spaces are created it’s an incredibly powerful feeling knowing you are safe to express yourself and that everyone shares the same level of respect for one another. A new club that just opened in the CBD called Miscellania has done an amazing job in fostering this kind of environment, partly due to the fact that they trained friends to work on the door as security and ensure the right kind of people were coming in. Too bad it was only open for two weeks before we went back into lockdown :’(

LOIF - 6° Of Separation

@roza-terenzi has traversed continents, yet her sound as a producer is never quite of this world. Hailing from Australia and now based in Berlin, extensive touring and appearances at a host of electronic music’s most esteemed festivals and venues have only served to strengthen her skills as a producer, with releases on the likes of @dkmntl, @planeteuphorique, @kalaharioystercult, @buttersessions and her own @stepballchain somehow evoking both nostalgia and visions of the future through cosmic atmospherics and warm, alien grooves.

Likewise, her Patterns of Perception 95 is luminous, lush and vibrantly nostalgic: like a hazy, sun-bleached postcard from decades past, viewed very much in the here and now. Covering a lot of ground in terms of both tempo and energy - this mix floats effortlessly from downtempo to liquid DNB, from breaks to house and back again, showcasing her effervescent skill and versatility behind the decks. 
Featuring an array of forthcoming and unreleased material from friends, collaborators and Terenzi herself, the warmth in this uplifting selection stirs hope for the times ahead.

Nothing In Moderation With DJ Voices And Kia @ The Lot Radio 09 - 14 - 2022

Matt Sabbadini aka Third Space (also Nice Setting, and ½ of Knotting) has always conveyed an energetic and deep passion for sound - both through his diverse outputs and our interactions. 

An electronic artist with a focus on modular synthesis, Matt works from a foundation of experimentation. Upon this foundation Matt’ expertly builds hypnotic expressions of experimental electronic music in manifold ways. Much of Third Space’s work tethers the line between chaos and calm, with well orchestrated moments of urgent uneasy percussion, deep and luscious textures and austere DnB inflicted rhythms. 

His debut long player ‘Scissor Kick’ ventures away from a punchier, sometimes club-ready sound found via his three past EPs. Scissor Kick favours deep undulating atmospherics and softly sweeping percussion that beckons introspection. Third Space simply has no ‘signature style’ - he effortlessly escapes categorisation, challenging listeners to break down the metaphorical bounds of genre, urging your attention towards sound and feeling in place of song. 

Third Space joined me 16/9/2022 for episode 182 of Passing Notes.

Ello, I’m Jackson. Pronouns are He/Him. Residing in Eora/Sydney

Who/what currently inspires you music-wise that has nothing to do with music?

Water and light mostly 

What is your favorite party/collective where you reside and why?

Too many faves. Some heavy hitters off the top are Umami/Echo Flats/Heavenly/Community Chest. They are %100 in it for the experience. Community Chest is a joint force crew of about 7 great crews from Sydney – It’s kinda like when the power rangers come together to make that big robot fighter guy

They were playing Bill Withers in a Woollies once and it got me

What is your most recent favorite DJ mix and why?

Max D – Indie Rock on C- was maybe the last one that got me good. Max D only plays by Max D’s rules

More love and respect, always

Number #109 coming from someone very special, someone who has done so much for the local scene and someone I can safely say has remained a big inspiration to me since my late teenage years. Harold ! @djharoldd

Harold is known locally and abroad for his incredible array of outputs. From DJ'ing (and being widely recognised in Melbourne as being one of the best). to running the ever incredible @steeplejackrec, and running some of the most iconic local events (Pleasure Planet...!). 

I have a very distinct memory of feeling truely inspired & deciding to move to Melbourne whilst dancing to Harrison's closing set at the first party I ever went to in Melbourne back in 2014 - Pleasure Planet's third birthday at Lounge. Harrison is a guiding force in the scene and is incredibly supportive of those around him.. but most of all.. he's a mastermind Dj. Enjoy this wild mix in Harrison's signature style <3 Glitchy.. deep IDM outer-worldly heaven. 

Thank you again for the mix Harrison!

Animix One Hundred & Nine: Harold

‘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.

So here we are, another year coming to an end, leading into a summer that we’ve been waiting for, for over 3 years now. Usually, things start to wind down around this time of the year but it would seem that things are just as chaotic as usual. Transitioning through seasons used to be a breeze, though nowadays, not so much. 
Someone who has never had any issues with transitions is this episode's contributor; Naarm local, favourite, hero, champion, Jazz aka Jasmine Rose aka the slowed-time surgeon.

Watching/listening to Jazz evolve over the last few years has been nothing short of fascinating, comfortably traversing from strength to strength, like jumping on Lilly pads across a pond, creating a ripple effect with each launch and each landing. She’s one of the very few with a firm grip on sub 110bpm chug, the queen of the slow roast; The slow lane is a hard lane to drive in, but Jazz has her HR licence, allowing her to cruise down the princess freeway, driving a semi with both eyes closed. Personally, I've had some life-altering experiences dancing to Jazz on a big outdoor system, her hypnotic wizardry has transported me back to primitive times on more than a few occasions. She’s also no stranger to radio waves, she hosts an incredible show dubbed ‘spaces within space’ on Naarm’s own community radio station PBS, as well as another show ‘hanging with the birds’ on the ever-magical Skylab radio. Both shows do an amazing job at summarising the current narrative of the electronic music landscape. If you aren’t already listening to Jazz and her doings, then it’s not too late, and hopefully, this mix will answer any questions you might have. 

Let us discuss said mix, in a purely bias and one-way fashion. I’d say it's impossible to encapsulate Jazz’s depth in an hour and ten minutes, but alas, I am very happily wrong. This mix serves up a refined tasting of her ethos and leaves you wanting more, and luckily there’s plenty more (link below). Her control and understanding is on another level, bending the laws of physics itself without missing a single beat, turning BPM into a construct. Explorations in digital dub, drenched d’n’b, downtime sonatas, and dance floor digestives, she truly has put all of herself into this, and that's exactly why we started this silly little music series. Time for me to shut up and for Jazz to take over (press play). 

Stay dry, stay hungry. X

Talia Jimenez aka Tangela is a force to be reckoned with - highly skilled DJ, host of the wonderful ‘Citrus’ on FBI radio and co-founder of a sleuth of boundary pushing events including dstreet, club < and now the newly established minutiae festival. Having these many hats and excelling at them all demonstrates Tangela’s intimate knowledge of her audiences and ability to tailor exceptional experiences accordingly. For dancefloors, that usually means a focus on generating energetic narratives combining enveloping soundscapes, pervasive depth and hypnotic detail to effortlessly guide dancers on spirited expeditions. With deep and diverse involvement in all sections of the electronic music community in Eora and beyond, I’m very excited to chat to Tangela about how she does it all. Tangela joined me for an interview and guest mix for episode 249 of Passing Notes live on PBSfm.

@fred-czital @harmony-rec

I first became aware of the Harmony label when they released ‘Natives’ an EP by prolific techno producer Alan Backdrop in 2019. Since this time, I’ve followed their lead, been enchanted by their always impressive musical outputs and enamoured - yet only from afar by their magical parties. Made up of multi-talented individuals, as a collective they coalesce as a group of kindred souls united by a shared wellspring of boundless creativity. Their events are always a spectacle, whether collaborating with the likes of Midgar, Kalahari Oyster Cult and X or running it solo, they have the power and passion to transform almost any space into a uniquely vibrant, community-minded party place. From UNESCO-listed libraries, gymnasiums and forest floors, no event is too big or too out there for Harmony to pull off. Across their music, events and DJ sets, they ooze a sense of profound intent whilst being effortlessly playful. In a world that can sometimes feel unnecessarily, individualistic the Harmony crew continues to shine a light on the power of bringing together our creative minds.

A studio full of life marked episode 256 of Passing Notes - a whole crew interview was following by this red hot mix by Alfred Czital, broadcast live on PBSfm 106.7 on the 2nd Feb, 2024.

@nervenerve

NERVE (RES, A Colourful Storm, Steeplejack) is the guise of Naarm-based electronic general practitioner Joshua Wells. As a DJ, producer and live artist NERVE makes and performs a limitless brand of techno that explores notions of drum and bass, breaks, noise, electro, dark ambient, and industrial. NERVE’s live sets are undeniably body music, steely textures punctuated by drum and bass inflicted rhythm workouts capable of whipping any crowd into a frenzy.

NERVE joined me live for 260 of Passing Notes with this guest mix of incredibly hot and heavy drum and bass.
