At the controls of the next Voyage to Plantera is a long time source of inspiration to ourselves, Tywi - or as we more fondly know him as, Eben.

One of the brains behind 'Haŵs' - the Cardiff based label and party series which since inception has impressed in all corners of the globe. Eben has consistently pushed sounds that resonate with us here at Plantera HQ.

Whether that be curating dancefloor journeys with his extensive wax collection or through mind-warping productions - namely his recent four-track slammer 'Reality Checkpoint' released on Belfast imprint, Duality Trax.

An absolute dream for us to have such a lovely and talented human at the helm for this voyage, big love Eben <3 


"Welcome to 'Spirit Land,' in the enchanting realm of Plantera. A place within our own minds, accessible to all, where our spirits roam free.

On this voyage through the mystical landscape of Plantera, the adventure begins with an introductory passage transporting you directly to the shores of the otherworldly land. 

A sonically coherent journey free from constraints or linearity - exeplifying the first steps in this unfamiliar, uncharted terrain. 

An unpredictable traverse filled with twists, turns, moments of euphoria, and serene interludes – an exploration, as exciting as it is contemplative, guided by the beat. 

‘Spirit Land' is an invitation to simply let go and immerse yourself in the experience of sound."

FROND @ Bakk Heia - The White Hotel

leading the next Voyage to Plantera is geo-enthusiast and all around wonderful human, Frond

we've had the pleasure of spending time with Sophie on and off the dancefloor & through these experiences we were introduced to the various mind-states and connections that influence her selection, from then the voyage juices started flowing and an invite was swiftly sent

aside from our personal experience, Frond is infusing her pulsating nature across dancefloors far & wide, paying particular attention to the senses alongside psychonaut crews Pollination, On Rotation & Down To Earth as well as contributing a pulsing acid-laced prog-trance anthem to one of the largest records of the year on People & Places

we are blessed to present this hr+ of deep, swirling hypnosis, taking us on an extra-terrestrial geological mission through the faults & fissures of 'Fingals Cave'

don't forget your head torch

As they moved through the rocky portal, dipping their feet into the swirling pools, it was an attempt to disperse the growing sense of unease that had begun to shroud them.

What had once been glistening eddies of clear water had now become a dark, menacing undertow.

Inside this basalt cathedral, they had become trapped between the mortal and other worlds.

With a spirit's glance, they dived - @frond

Recording of my opening set at RAUM, September 7th 2024. Three hours vinyl only.

Iggy P @ RAUM - 07.09.2024

42nd Avenue, also known as Thijs, hails from Amsterdam and brings us Transmission 17. We first connected with Thijs through mutual friends at no.clubs. He’s a prominent figure in Amsterdam’s underground scene, playing a key role in the creation of nano.clubs, an exceptional (albeit short-lived) venue renowned for its impeccable sound and setup. In addition, Thijs runs his own ad-hoc party, Club Cohesie, which moves between various spaces in Amsterdam. His sets and mixes are hard to categorise, as they seamlessly drift through a variety of styles, and this mix is no exception. A avid vinyl enthusiast, he recorded this mix at home with two turntables and an A&H mixer. Enjoy x

Our next mix is brought to us by London-based DJ and producer softi / @jazz_brown.  With an impressive catalogue of mixes from the likes of Crack Magazine, Animalia and Origins, and gigs such as Draaimolen and Freerotation, softi has found a place among the UK scene and beyond through her hypnotic, rhythmic sound.

This mix is a slow, super deep and sexy journey through progressive and trancey techno - thank you softi for this beautiful mix <3

for the first Voyage of 2025 (earth-time) we welcome Barca-based Parisian psychonaut, @maryu-hors-sol

exploring the realms of deep, pulsating rhythms with his @hors-sol crew for some time now, Maryu traverses frequencies that incapsulate the essence of our sonic utopia perfectly - vividly transporting us to the shimmering, golden shores of the South

his admiration for these sounds and culture that surrounds them is presented perfectly through his 'Otium' store deep-dive into trippy wax gems and introspective literature

as well as his sonic endeavours, Maryu struck a chord with us due to his deep love and appreciation for the earth we know, taking great interest and influence from caring for our climate and biodiversity 

let the sand trickle between your toes while you get lost in this slice of sun-blushed psychedelia from times gone by and join us 'In Search of a Lost Paradise'

thank you for the hypnotising journey, Maryu

"In the South of Plantera lies a secluded beach, hidden by dense vegetation and bound by steep cliffs. The sand is smooth, regular, without any trace of life. The sea is calm, at peace. 

From a sprawling flower bed emerges a silhouette, breaking the intimacy of the beach with reflections of gold. Describing voluptuously a zenithal sun, they scribe circles on the warm sand - filling each palm, letting the grains slip between their fingers like time in an hourglass before the wind sweeps this golden dust towards the ocean.

Behind, a group of musicians sit in the shade of a palm tree. One blows into a pungi, creating sounds known to charm serpents. Another taps on a ghumot, a terracotta pot with a mouthpiece covered by a varan skin. A third musician, sitting in their tailpiece, claws with rough fingers the strings of an old worn sitar.

From the first air, several groups of beings appear on the beach. Many with long wavy hair, body art and piercings which glimmer in the sunlight, covered from head to toe in colourful fabrics. The air teams with organic and psychedelic frequencies, delivering a transcendental energy which harmonizes bodies into motion. 

In this natural setting, on the edge of this world, the ceremony will last several dawns and dusks... before marking the telluric spirits of Plantera for life"
