Well then ... Another of the minds behind @subsystem-transmissions - Richard Gregory. 

For us, Richard is one of the best, we’ve had the pleasure of seeing him play at a number of parties now, and he never fails to put a smile on our faces. Like the rest of the S:S chaps he’s also an absolute gem, no ego’s, just lots of very good records that’ll make you get all sorts of euphoric. We’ve been poking him to record us a mix for too long now, so when we first heard this we were pretty excited to say the least. Thirty Five from the king of pumpers.

Very happy that the newest Animix is presented by my dear friend, and very talented dj, Nat salih ( @nsalih ) . Nat is one of my favourite DJs in Naarm/Melbourne, and has been frequenting Melbourne dance floors for years with a constantly evolving and eternally impressive DJ style. Telling of the musically aligned nature of our friendship, we met at Labyrinth in Japan in 2016. 

Nat's mixes emanate warmth and electricity. Their style always dynamic and diverse. Nat is due to play at the launch party for the newest Animalia release at the end of this month. Hopefully one day soon we can finally do a b2b! Thanks again for this amazing mix Nat <3

The latest Deep Mind Music mix is a special one put together by Thailand's Sunju Hargun, as all tracks in the mix are his own productions from his Extans Mantra series. I've been a fan of Sunju's incredible Siamese Twins label since it began, and his prescient talent as a DJ, curator and producer makes him someone I'm very inspired by, and grateful to know.

This mix is a deeply healing and meditative journey, which takes the listener through immersive drones, twinkling acoustics and hazy, mystical pads, as Sunju envelops us in his sonic world. As the mix unfolds, a soft sunset slips into a warming indigo darkness, descending gently into the infinite depths of inner consciousness. There, we are washed by gentle waves of hypnagogic resonance, allowing us to enter a state of reflective peace, before fluttering arps and sunlit motes bring us to the outer world again. Sunju's emotional sensitivity in programming this mix shines through, and it feels particularly personal that he also made all of the deeply moving music in this mix.

Land with us on a new Planète Noire odyssey with a new kind of sounds generated from my nevrotic mind.

Welcoming on the first hour a tunnel hero from the far east : Japan's finest trancemaster @takumiinamoto1994 !

He did for us a very special shamanistic set, an hommage to UTAGE Festival, one of the pioneer of prog trance rave in japanese local rave scene (featuring absolute legends like Son Kite, Ticon and Double Dragon...).

@stakhan-607786920 is taking care of the 2nd part of the show with a very experimental mushroom feeling trancey set.

As one of the forces behind @ute-rec and one half of Accelerationism, Oslo based DJ, promoter and label head @mariusbo’s singular, trance-infused sound feels both fresh and profoundly nostalgic. 

Starting in 2017 with highly curated open air raves in his native Norway as part of the Uteklubb collective, both Marius and the group have continued to evolve, with the inception of their Ute Rec imprint in 2019 representing the fruition of the group's distinctive sound aesthetic. A string of influential releases from @oprofessionell, The Dosadi Experiments and @mikkel-rev, alongside the high-profile Accelerationism CDs that have seen them collaborate with the likes of @alpha-tracks-official, @s-o-n-s and @sunjuhargun, plus a VA fundraiser alongside @amniote-editions have helped Marius and Ute Rec to quickly garner a global audience, giving them a platform to share their unique vision of psychedelic contemporary trance.

Hitting like a deep, rejuvenating breath in the open air, Marius' Patterns of Perception 92 is a pulsating, private moment for emotions and reflections to cascade and flow. 
Evoking the serene, iridescent embrace of the chill-out room, this mix floats weightlessly in the aether between psychedelic downtempo and ambient trance -  a shimmering assembly of textures and inspirations, both new and old. It is a space for closed eyes, kaleidoscopic perception and slow heart rates - a tonic for the mind, body and soul.

SOLACE SPACE 003 ✼ @feargaloconnell

An hour of dancefloor delights and revitalising rhythms from @fuaimdub co-founder.

"I recorded this mix just as clubs were finally opening up again here in January and I think a lot of the tracks that came through were a reflection of what I wanted to hear out on a proper club system. There’s some early goa records I picked up over the summer (lots of them inspired by parties like SUB:SYSTEM, Whomp, etc.) and a lot of the more modern sounds from Aussie producers and labels like Jon Jones, DMO, Reflex Blue, etc. Hope you enjoy!"

@wednesday_dj had an UNFOLD debut to remember two weeks ago, with a magical set that weaved trance, minimal psytrance and techno into one hypnotic sound.

After steadily making a name for herself over the last year, Wednesday took the opportunity at UNFOLD to explore the darker, faster tracks in her collection.

We can now bring you this UNFOLD set from Wednesday, exclusively released on our DETECT series. You can hear it on our FOLD SoundCloud.

DETECT [090] - Wednesday

for march's netil show I was joined by the very wonderful @auratekh for a v special b2b👽👽

feel extremely lucky to have had tekh on the show - when I first discovered tekh's mixes 2 years ago, it really opened my eyes to the obscure, tripped-out edges of trance

since then, we’ve had lots of enthusiastic party chats joint-fangirling over beat bizarre and other psy faves - so this b2b was a long time coming!

Next up, a very special international guest and inspiration of mine, Sybil (@syberkid). Sybil has an impressive track record of pivotal parties and festivals under her belt - Berlin Atonal, Berghain’s Säule, Fabric, Honey Soundsystem and Timedance all come to mind. However what’s perhaps even more impressive is the way that Sybil approaches her time in the studio. Sybil’s mixes have landed on platforms such as Discwoman, Dimensions and Crack Magazine as well as her own ambient outlet, Deep Mind Music. 

Sybil’s style of DJing really resonates with me. On the one hand, she creates wonderfully immersive soundscapes, textured collages of meditative and deep ambient music. She’s equally adept and commanding a dancefloor with high-energy, euphoric techno and trance leaning sounds. Of course, Sybil touches on the energies in between, but there’s an undeniable symbiotic relationship between her duality of styles - achieved through a common transcendent quality of both. Regardless of style, Sybil’s mixes are inherently thematic, guided by visual concepts and narratives which are inspired by her “very synesthetic relationship to music”. Sybil’s creative approach to DJing, deep love for music and inimitable ability to craft a story, mean whichever avenue she takes you, you know you’re going on a journey through space, time and texture. I had a wonderful time connecting with Sybil from abroad, all the way from London about all this and more for episode 157, 18-03-2022.
