Time to slow down the tempo a little bit... Melodic layers and classic electro influence meets large wide sub design.

It has been a breath of fresh air to produce without thinking "this needs to work well in a club". There is so much space for sound design between beats, you can't hide behind another dominant transient that's stealing headroom from decays or reverbs. Refined sound design prevails and composition decisions become more deliberate.

'Refined Mind' was made in September with the above sentiment as fuel.

Hope you enjoy this, all income will go directly to Pay The Rent (paytherent.net.au)

Head over to my Bandcamp to purchase :)) Releasing October 1st.

Kia Live @Tabula Rasa 2021

ROOFTOP STUNMIX 05 - PJENNE | MILLÚ | KATIE PEARSON

Rooftop StunMix 05 ~ Pjenne | Millú | Katie Pearson

Australian Kia very quickly rose up through the grimy after-hours rave scene of Melbourne to make her mark on the international stage. Now Berlin-based, her unique grasp of rhythm is rooted in a love of bass, IDM and deeper techno though she is adept at exploring a wide range of moods within those worlds. She has done so at places like ADE and our own festival and extends her good taste to the curation of her Animalia imprint and its ambient sub-label Cirrus as well as her own original tracks on Nous'klaer Audio.

In this week's mix, Kia showcases a colourful and kaleidoscopic take on techno which she says was awakened by an early trip to Japan's famously head Labyrinth festival. It's a hi-fidelity feast of supple rhythms, icy synths and deep space ambiance that unfolds in late-night fashion. The melodies are as delicate as silk, the drums rubbery yet punchy. It's high-paced future music that manages to be as delicate and beautiful as it is dynamic.

Mats Lorenzon, aka Renzo is an electronic musician working on Wurundjeri land. An acoustic engineer by trade, Renzo harvests a panoply of samples, which are transformed into glitchy and multi-dimensional drum patterns. 

Accompanied by a forward thinking approach to synthesis, Renzo's sound nods to UK dubstep and drum n' bass, while still being firmly grounded in the current local sound. His productions distinguish themselves in their attention to detail — sweeping FM bass making use of the stereo field, while lush pads open up the groove, adding colour. 

With an ever growing catalogue of releases, Renzo continues to define himself as an adventurous producer, eager to play with genre, though untethered to its confines.

Juanita's Mix 096 with Kia @kia-sydney

Q. How would you describe yourself?
A. easily distracted, busy bee, passionate, nomadic, pensive.. :)

Q. What was your last memorable club night in NYC?
A. nowadays nonstop in may was epic.. that room is honestly the dream in the right context. the lighting and sound is so on point and the energy during my set time was so infectious (I played 3.30-6am before the legend PLO man). also special shout-out to groovy groovy which i played in july :) DIY parties are always extra special when done right

Q. Tell us a little bit about this mix.
A. this is a very honest/ sombre personal diary I’ve been compiling all year. it’s almost for me the musical embodiment of an infinite plane ride.. watching the sun rise and then set and then rise again. also an ode to all the new & old people that were in my life this year.

this year brought lots of purgatory moments, lots of solo transit.. times of isolation and change, also new friends, positive growth, and people coming into my life… so I guess it’s supposed to represent the ups and downs, change and the journey,

I was struggling to finish the mix and it was sitting at 80% complete for the last little while but I feel like the current situation in Palestine </3 really inspired the missing pieces of the mix. for me, I use music and storytelling as an outlet for frustration and emotion generally. lots of old classics in this and pensive moments.. hope the listeners can feel some of that emotion through listening too..

MV016 Rakhi

Rakhi has become notorious for her sexy, energy-building sets across Naarm. An expression of her unique style and identity, her sound is rhythmic, melodic, and bass-heavy, merging the genres she loves to get your hips swinging. With expansive selections, she brings her feminine, fairy-like touch to hard drums, breaks and basslines. Rakhi’s own productions combine her love of rhythm and big bass with emotional soundscapes, vocals and instrumentation. While you may have seen Rakhi throw down heat at one of Naarm’s parties, you’re just as likely to have heard the softer side of her sound at a northside bar or beer garden. Having quickly become a staple in the local electronic music scene, it is of no surprise that she was shortlisted for ‘Best DJ’ in the Music Victoria Awards 2023. Rakhi kicked off a big year at Zeerust Festival followed by an interstate debut in Eora for Kerfew X World Pride, honorary support for Pretty Girl’s sold out Naarm headline show, and an international debut at Kiosk Radio in Brussels. A Rakhi set will likely cover music from every continent, blend unlikely genres, and have you ask “what do you call this?” more than once. Carrying a perceptive ear and compelling ability to command the energy in any room, Rakhi is unstoppable in carving out space for her unique style.
