In the midst of the Australian outback rests one of the worlds largest radio telescope arrays.
The listening devices together have the power to hear into deep space, Thus providing a larger understanding of the universe around us; An amplification of the evolutionary gift that we call the sense of sound.
At some point in 2020 they intercepted an abundance of very peculiar signals coming from a star located with in our neighbouring system, Alpha Centauri.
With each message intercepted the signal only grows stronger, soon enough it may lead to contact.
Patience is virtue, they take about two weeks to come through.

Ben Guenther is one Sooki Saturdays most well rounded residents and a dear friend of ours.
After bringing his absolute A game to our first event in January, he quickly came to mind when we started putting interceptions together.
Ben holds a damn fine library of tunes in his USB ranging from some Groovy deep house right up to your banging late night techno, if it's got a fat bass line and good rolling percussion, he'll know about it.

Up next for the 10th edition of our Intercept mix series, we invite local lady 'Mari.' to step up to the wheels and deliver a set of stripped back techy goodness. 

Mari. has been a close friend of ours at Proxima for some time now, and if you're well acquainted with Sooki Lounge, I'd say there's a good chance that she's a close friend of yours too. 

Mari's sets are a class act & she always has her finger on the pulse when it comes to proper underground deep and tech music. This mix is a testimony to her unmatched style and flow and we're very excited to be able to share this one with you all.

Our next guest invited to provide a mix for our Interceptions series is none other than Tura.

You may have been lucky enough to catch her playing at My Aeon alongside our close friends at the Red Moon crew, or perhaps you've just caught her loving every second of a raging dance floor. 
Tura is in her element on both sides of the decks, whether it be warming up the evening with her tasteful melodic house & techno sets or hugging those next to her soaking up every bit of 3am magic.

For our next edition of Interceptions we give a big warm welcome to local deep techno pioneers, fütwerk.
fütwerk have made their mark in Melbourne’s dance music scene not only from their impeccable DJ skills and crowd engagement, but also from their involvement in running their own parties under EQUINOX events and :affinity. 
Displaying their personalities through their music is one of fütwerks noticeable features when it comes to performances, known for bringing high energy levels to a crowd with hypnotic and pulsating rhythms combined with a deep spiritual and often organic essence. 
Playing a big role in the movement of the Deep techno genre in Melbourne, fütwerk look to expand the scene as they direct their knowledge and talents into the producing world as well as having toured and supported international artists Deepbass, Etapp Kyle and Matrixmann, and performed at  Rainbow Serpent, Burning Seed and Wildwood.

This week brings us another very special artist to the interceptions catalogue, Josh Kerr.
Josh has brought about a lot of change in Melbourne's music scene over the last few years, with an initiative such as Black Syndicate under his belt and the events held with in it, the change is easily describable as a positive and progressive step forward.
One of the events in question was the Bushfire Appeal Day Party held in Williamstown at the beginning of this year that raised over $188,000 for the Black Summer Bushfires that devastated Australia's east coast during the summer of 2019-2020.
Every week here our guests step it up another notch with their talent and this lovely fella hasn't held back on doing just that, with deep bass lines, warm melodic melodies and lush vocals the sounds in this mix are nothing short of sublime.

This week we invite the beautifully harmonious human and very close friend of Proxima, Budgey! 
For Budgey, the musical path was embarked upon from a relatively young age. Experiencing the dizzying highs of electronic events initially in his late teens, Daniel Bugeja was instantly beset with a desire for a more personal level of musical involvement. Wanting to be the one responsible for facilitating the dancefloor vibe in comparison to being a component of it, DJing quickly became the goal for Budgey.
Now more than half a decade into this journey, his deep, ruminating take on techno music has been a staple component of the collective Equinox showcases. Drawing particular influence from seeing deep techno’s finest acts on the European stage, Budgey is persistent in his desire to improve as an artist as he ventures into production. An avid fan of nature, for Budgey the physical & spiritual worlds remain permanently intertwined - a connection he shares through a sound that is both proudly organic and powerfully hypnotic.
Budgey has notably supported world-renowned acts inclduding Matrixxman & Deepbass, while also playing at both multiple editions of LUFT and Burning Seed festival.

If you’re from the Northside of Melbourne or have ever had the chance to party out that side of town - there’s a fair chance you know our boy Dark Design.
A fly on the wall at some of Melbourne’s finer establishments, Darcy is as full of life as he is of yarns - you’ll know this if you’ve managed to be on the receiving end of one of his 3am smokers chats. 
Naturally, you can only spend so long frequenting and embracing our cities nightlife before you start to involve yourself - and Darcy has done so in spectacular fashion.
If you’ve ever managed to catch one of Darcy’s sets, there’s a fair chance you’ve heard some of his signature mooged out original productions. With just under 2 years under his belt, Darcy has driven to better himself in the studio with an admirable intensity and you can certainly hear this in his class productions. We’re honoured to have the chance to premier a 100% original mix from the big lover boy at Proxima Frequencies, full to the brim with both released and unreleased original tracks and some remixes. 
This set is full of sounds inspired by Australia’s festival scene, and in current times - we think this is just about as close as you’re gonna get to the real thing. So grab a beer, get outside, enjoy the sun and let Darcy’s work take you to a better place.

For our next edition of the Intercept mix series, we have invited long standing Onepuf & Sooki Saturday’s resident DJ - Wardrop 

We’ve known Justin Wardrop for many years now as we’ve shared the late night stage at Sooki Saturdays with him, continually impressed by the selections this guy provides. Justin’s induction into the world of electronic music started around 2013 when he wore the alias ‘Realtek’, djing and producing his flavour of dubstep. His Realtek project saw his productions aired on the likes of Rinse FM and releases on labels such as Onepuf & Detrimental Audio.

Justin has now been involved with the Onepuf crew for about 6 years and Sooki Lounge for a similar term, and over his stint as a DJ he has been booked at a number of fine establishments such as Lounge, The Mercat, Revolver Upstairs, Bloom & many more. This mix is an insight into the quirky library of our good friend Wardrop, and includes a number of his original releases as well as some unreleased material from himself and other local producers.

As always, the track list for this mix will be posted on our Instagram page, so feel free to give it a follow at @proximafreq

Today we are proud to be bringing you a fresh and friendly face to the Melbourne music scene; Panthaera.

With the beginning of a season of lockdowns and social isolation we saw an unfortunate suppression of Melbourne's beloved live music and the events held with in. 
These unfortunate times has made it clear that our scene here in Melbourne has an exceptionally strong community with in it, and has only grown stronger over the course of the last 8 months.
But as with the prevalent strengthening of the community we have started to see this suppression give rise to a new generation of creative expression to share with us their unique take on what we all enjoy so much. 
Panthaera is a perfect example of this.
She has been a staple of said community for a long time and is no stranger to a good yarn and a dusty dancefloor 
So at the beginning of our lockdown period she began to share with us a sound that outlines herself as an artist, and it's been nothing short of a spectacle!

Unrestricted or bound by genre, Heavy Footer's unique take to DJing has found her teamed up with the Pelican Villa crew, having provided their dance floors with everything from silky dnb selections to deep and dirty club cuts. 
We really didn't know what to expect when she provided us with this piece, all we really knew was that it would be truly special.

Originally from the UK, she made her name playing around Melbourne's underground scene of clubs and festivals.
