Animalia's natural evolution into new regions & sounds comes with the introduction of @sub-basics to the label. For the first iteration in a new series of releases by the London based artist, Sub Basics brings his signature blend of minimal UK bass, with prismatic percussion loops & spaced out, psychedelic grooves, meeting a tech-house adjacent score that underpins the release.

Immersive yet functional, the release is versatile by nature, timely and fitting for both the autumnal shift in the northern hemisphere, and the welcoming of spring in Australia.

Artist: Sub Basics (London, UK)
Title: Wavelengths
Format: 12” / Digi
Distributed by: Clone (Rotterdam, NL) 
Artwork & Design by Josh Abramovici, (New York, USA)
Mastered by Jason Goz, Transition Mastering (London, UK)

Animalia would like to acknowledge that whilst all tracks were produced in the UK, the label itself operates on the traditional land of the Woiwurrung & Wurundjeri peoples of the Kulin Nation, and pay respect to their elders past, and present. Sovereignty was never ceded.

This weeks mix is by @wispelturig an Amsterdam local and dancefloor enthusiastic. 
founder of Sober Clubbing collective and resident of the infamous MOVA Amsterdam
With a diverse taste from ambient to techno but always with a psychedelic dark and evolving twist.

This mix is no difference a beautiful deep dark trip within different textures and melodies and gruadally evolves but keeps the groove and dance. 

Track highlight: 
Otodojo - L0NG L1V3 TH3 1NT1F4D4

In my club sets I am always looking for a balance between repetitive beats that soak you up and make dance floors move like one body, and breaks and experiments that keep things interesting. This beautiful track full of weird sounds really works for that. Not only it's an amazing track, it is also a very important message. I don’t want to take up too much space on this platform that is also used by P4lest1n14ns to show the world the unimaginable horror and injustice that is done to them, without pointing that out once more.
