Interstellar Funk - 18 January 2025

As we welcome the beginning of 2025 and another year of music, we're excited to announce that we’ll be releasing a few recordings from our favorite parties of 2024.

Looking back at the past year, we were privileged to host an incredible crew of friends from all over the world.

Having roots in Japan and Cuba, Yuzo Iwata has been a prominent figure in the music scene. Since 2011, he has been organizing the “FLOPPY” party at Precious Hall in Sapporo. In 2016, he relocated to Berlin and in 2018, released his debut EP, “Kiteki,” on Pluie/Noir. In 2022, And he released his debut album, “Kaizu,” through Butter Sessions in Melbourne. His music paints on this album an imaginary story reminiscent of traveling the world’s islands by boat, offering an exotic and borderless array of sounds with various electronic rhythms, earning recognition by various music media.

In Berlin, Yuzo Iwata has worked at the record shop Sound Metaphors, curating a diverse record collection with a core of psychedelia. He has also played at various venues across the city including Säule at Berghain, Globus at Tresor, Ohm, Club Ost, Renate, About Blank, Club Der Visionaere, Hoppetosse, among others. His DJ selections span a wide range of genres, incorporating funky basslines, and providing a minimal physicality and blissful touch while delivering dynamic music experiences. His music invites listeners to dance while evoking various landscapes and emotions, leading them on a warm and immersive musical journey.

One memory that often comes up in conversation is Yuzo’s set at Evening Breeze last July. His two-hour mix was a masterclass in deep groove, funk, and psychedelia. While it might not have been the obvious choice for a transit party, the payoff was immeasurable as we experienced an impressive display of experience, knowledge, and skill.

Join us as we revisit this core memory and look forward to an even more exciting year ahead!

Jane Fitz took the stage twice with a B2B set this at rural 2024, and she appeared on the final day with her musical partner Jade Seatle, who co-hosts the DIY party “Night Moves” in their home, London. The final day started out rainy, but ended up with sunny skies. This set was deeply connected with such a dramatic ending. Enjoy this euphoric collection of left-field tech house gems.

2024年は、二度にわたるB2Bセットでの登壇となったJane Fitzが、最終日のクロージングを共にしたのは、彼女の本拠地であるロンドンで共にDIYパーティ〈NIGHT MOVES〉を主催する相方のJade Seatleでした。雨模様で幕を開け、最後には陽光差し込む晴天にまで辿りついたドラマチックな終幕と深く結びついた展開。多幸感溢れる珠玉のレフトフィールド・テックハウスコレクションを堪能ください。

While putting this mix together, @elsa-9-9 discovered that her collection could be split into two parts: on one side, the tech and progressive house of the 90s and 00s, and on the other, the newer, deeper techno and bass. In this mix, she brings these two elements together seamlessly, creating a cohesive journey that's both driving and uplifting with moments of depth and darkness.

 Release date: 10th March 2025

Interstellar Funk - 15 March 2025

An episode that feels well overdue yet thoroughly worth the wait! A titan of the Naarm underground music scene, Pjenné has been a kindred spirit and longtime pal since the early days of MDC, and it's no surprise that her contribution is packed full of gloriously deep and immersive feels, bassy and driving in parts and light as a feather in others, speaking to a palette that has been meticulously explored and continues to evolve along with her incredible weekly radio show on PBS, Passing Notes. 

@pjenne

Q. What sounds of feelings did you draw upon when gathering inspiration for this mix, and what listening environments could you imagine it being best enjoyed in?

A. For this mix, I wanted to channel the energy and sounds that I associate with Melbourne Deepcast rather than drawing on the darker side of my sound palette that has been at the fore of my radio and club sets of late. MDC means so many things to me, but there’s definitely an energetic, grooviness that comes to mind and this is what inspired the mix. Although the mix does showcase parts of me (heavily atmospheric, emotive and a few downtempo tracks for good measure), I’d say this is more of a mix for you. :) I imagine this mix being listened to outside, on a sunny day, but when you might also need a little extra pep in your step. 

Q. Are there any songs in the mix that are especially close to your heart, and what is it about these tracks that resonate with you so much?

A. The first that came to mind is a track by Sean Cusick and Medway (Jesse Skeens) - It is an incredibly beautiful and emotive breakbeat track from 2002 on Saw recordings, there’s just something about how the vocals and the pads wash over you - although its upbeat there's also a sombreness to it and I just think its the whole package. 

Towards the end of the mix there’s also a very very classic ambient trance number, Lazer Worshippers by Damon Wild & Tim Taylor from 1993 - Not the most deeply dug track but it's a classic for a reason.

Q. You have been lovingly broadcasting your weekly radio show Passing Notes on PBS for six years running, which is a serious achievement! Tell us what you did for your sixth anniversary on International Women's Day, and what keeps you inspired to broadcast the show week in week out?

A. It’s been a wild ride that’s for sure! I really appreciate that International Women’s Day marks each yearly anniversary of Passing Notes - it reminds me to stop and reflect on each year as an achievement that I would probably otherwise forget in the chaos of life. This year I enlisted the help of Syrian DJ and Harmony Rec affiliate Zeynep, who provided an excellent, playful and sassy celebratory guest mix. 

As for my inspiration to keep going, I’d say that I draw from the collective power of electronic artists locally as well as internationally. There’s just so much good music to share, and Passing Notes enables me to provide a crucial connection between ‘underground’ electronic music and the wider music community. I'm also inspired by live radio as a format - it provides a sanctuary for me from the highly curated nature of music today and allows me to be more playful in the way that I explore different sounds. To me it is a place free of judgement.
