Retreat Radio

Strange Interactions is a DJ/producer-duo, label and party based in Naarm co-founded by Margarita Bassova (RITA BASS) and Yang Chen (Yangos) in 2021.  

As a DJ-duo the pair have two aliases: Strange Interactions and Strange Attractions. As Strange Interactions they manoeuvre the darker side of underground electronic music ranging from drum and bass to dubstep, UK bass to IDM and all the dark and murky corners in-between. As Strange Attractions they play with lighter sounds they love, with a particularly affinity for left-field house, chubby electro and jazz. 

The label focuses on uplifting female and GNC acts in the music industry, giving creatives the space to share their creativity both locally and eventually globally. SI is also very interested in an artists intention behind their creation, and have a particular fondness for lifting artists who share a strong purpose whether it be sociopolitical, philosophical, personal or emotional. The first release on the label is set for May 5th this year.

Blend 017 - Strange Interactions

This month’s Worm Moon in Libra marks a natural shift, a slither into fresh energy, into the lush balance that Spring brings to the tired Winter-worn soul, combined with the fire and fury of Aries season. Once again we find ourselves at the start of the zodiac cycle, ready to release and jump into newness. With this mix, @wronghole exudes come hither and raw, luscious desire. A salacious certainty across genres, she surfaces an enchanted nostalgia, for the sensuality of the rave and the magnetic anticipation brought on by the change in seasons. This soundtrack imagines a reunion with the dance floor, friends and strangers, a bass massage for sweaty bodies intermingling.

Vervemix 23 comes from Eora's @mijahealey - FBI radio presenter, DJ and Pure Space creative connoisseur alongside Andy Garvey, 

In this mix she takes us through an hour of post-punk ambience that seamlessly moves between industrial beats, warped breakbeat and experimental jazz before delving into world-music inspired electronica with persian melodic scales. 

There's a reason why she's known for pushing experimental music in Sydney's underground.

Lupini has slowly, quietly established herself as a pivotal figure in Liverpool’s alternative music scene. Recently introduced to a wider audience via her recent NTS residency (already a firm favourite at Phantasy HQ), she’s known in Merseyside as a DJ, promoter, radio station manager and all-round enthusiast of no small repute. As is obvious, Lupini’s life revolves around music, and in turn, music revolves around her.

This sincere eclecticism, reflected in her typically thoughtful contribution to #PHANTASYMIX, soaks up dubby overtures, dreamy new wave and escalating percussive jams, switching between energy modes with open-mindedness but rare authority.

Accompanying the mix, Lupini spoke to John Loveless about the post-COVID challenges and opportunities in the Liverpool music scene, warping between genres and the joy of a big, silly acid line. Read the interview here: https://shop.phantasysound.co.uk/blogs/news/phantasymix-36-lupini

Having recently dropped his 'Reconstructed Club' EP on UK bass weight up-comers Control Freak Recordings following a brilliant collaboration with Max Winter on Or:la’s Cead label in 2020, @Keplrr jumps into the deep end with 1hr of techy, rolling club gear and low end sonics to prime us all for Boris' long-awaited club return this June. And by club we mean merky sweatbox basement, hopefully.

Bside Incoming: Wonja

This episode of Bside Incoming is the Californian creation of a New Englander. An artist with an original sound, excellent taste, and as always, an incredible collection of music. Wonja

The journey began with her formative experience on local and college radio, where a community of like minded music lovers helped to expand Wonja’s sonic horizons. While house and techno form the basis of her live DJ sets she has an intriguing specialist subject: Gamelan, a percussive genre based on the use of metallophone and wood instruments.

Her audiences are usually small, intimate, and local. So it’s a pleasure to transport her intriguing style beyond its ordinary confines. If you like the taste of this, be sure to tune into her Do/While mixtape with DJML. The duo are soon to release an LP on Soda Gong as Motoko and Myers. We’ve got our ears to the ground for this one!

Starting out with extra-terrestrial sounds, slowly winding down to the ground. Eerie beats, relaxing ambiance, nostalgically natural sounds, and splash of spoken word.

Check her soundcloud here - https://soundcloud.com/wonj
And her amazing Do/While series - https://soundcloud.com/wonj/sets/do-while
