Pure Space returns with a certified dancefloor heater from local Eora-Sydney artist Command D.

First heard through the Inner Varnika festival soundsystem this year ‘Musik’ comes as an audacious dance cut, bolstered with aggressive drum programming, a punching bassline and playful sampling.

The vocals that carry the tune are reminiscent of many 90s dance tunes; simple yet purposeful to those rolling deep on a dancefloor.

Tangela’s roots are entangled in Sydney’s bitumen and brickwork. An FBi Dance Class graduate of 2020, Sydney has nourished her love of electronic music and pushed her to grow as a DJ. Tangela’s sound is all about feel good, groovy, minimal beats full of squelchy bleeps, killer fem vocals, and a healthy smattering of UK Garage. She is the co-founder of Douglas Street, a service which offers weekly livestreams and accompanying podcasts, championing local talent.

Amsterdam local @nathankofi up for #147. A very well respected member of the Amsterdam team and part of the legendary De School team, Nathan has a range of musical pursuits worth noting. 

We originally connected in 2019 when he invited me for my first ever radio show in Europe, a stream on Red Light Radio for his old radio show. He's also an important member of the lovely @delichting record label which has a suit of beautiful releases. His own dubby, dreamy productions have been showcased on the label & a range of others too! 

So happy to have you in the series - thanks Nathan! <3

Pure Space presents Cell, the latest EP from Eora (Sydney)-based artist Pannotia - a producer sculpting intricate sonic ecosystems through dense, evolving synthesis. Inspired by microbiological processes, Cell pulses with organic mutation, where rhythm and texture shift like an evolving biocrust.

Written between Gadigal Land (Petersham) and London (2023–2025), the EP reflects a deep fascination with unseen worlds - microbial communities thriving in extreme conditions, reacting to their environments in ways both alien and familiar.

Across four tracks, Pannotia explores a spectrum of tempos and moods, from the swampy and viscous to the clinical and mechanical. The EP opens with the title track Cell, a dense and hypnotic techno cut whose constantly evolving nature keeps you locked in. Life Cycle follows, a track driven by grinding lead synths and steady percussion that propels forward with restless motion. Biozone takes a more organic approach, mirroring ecological systems in constant flux.

Closing out the EP, Tessellate emerges as a doof-ready anthem, featuring the voice of Cyano in her musical debut - delivering a spoken exploration of microscopic landscapes. For good measure, a Dub Mix strips things back while maintaining the energy.

A contemporary snapshot of Pannotia’s sonic evolution, Cell is a dark, trippy, and ever-shifting ecosystem; alive with movement, modulation, and mutation.
