Name: Emily McGill
Alias: Em (@milou_music)
Pronouns: she/her
Location: Melbourne (Naarm), Australia 

Influences: 
As far as dance music, early progressive and psy through to newer proggy clubbier stuff, a lot of which is coming out of Melbourne! More broadly, I grew up on a lot of psych rock from the 60s & 70s, and I can feel that influencing my taste in dance music as I gravitate towards driving, whimsical, trancey sounds.  

Affiliations/Residencies/Projects: 
I'm currently recording the first EP for my new psych rock project Milou Moon (@milou_music) set to release September 2023. Stay tuned! I also DJ at parties around Melbourne sometimes- this mix is actually based on a set I played recently at around 2am at a park party. 

Favorite Quote: 
Don't wait to be inspired, work to be inspired. Can't track down who said this but I repeat it to myself a lot! 

Advice for the DJs, producers and artists of our community: 
It would probably be something similar to the quote above!

} From A Coruscating Hope’s very first sputters of tapping percussion and crackling texture - Skegness, England based producer Dean Grant Collier, known as Grant Deane, weaves a web of hypnotic and mysterious dichotomy. It is a record draped in haze - both cloaked in nuanced and cloudy tones and somehow equally as illuminating and vivid. As the pieces gently unfurl there is a sense of wandering through the fantastic, though at 8 tracks and 46 minutes it is hardly a meander - nor is it brisk. A Coruscating Hope is ostensibly a minimal techno record, albeit one that lurches forward through muted IDM kissed soundscapes; but, it is brimming with life and motion. Taking inspiration from the minutiae of complex emotional scapes as well as brutalist architecture, Grant Deane’s shimmering productions map out an inner journey - a view from a train merging with the commuting occupants’ reflections. 

}} A Coruscating Hope’s tracks are meditations - tone poems where snippets of vocals and carefully assembled snaking synths wind beguilingly around jagged percussion interjections on liquid grooves. At times such as in “The Surfacing Dawn”, “Potential Energy” and say “Stuff Falling” the effect is a warm lull of synaptic agreement, chugging along with grace and poise. At others such as on “With Less of a Jolt Than We Were Braced For” and “Forever Wanting To Be Over There” the effect is more unstable, with dissonant tones mounting and swirling around the groove in a deftly manoeuvred balancing act - one in which the titles themselves give clever hints as to what is causing the mischief - whether they be implied anxiety or yearning.  In this way the record feels intensely personal, concise and yet expansive, moody and yet optimistic. 

}}} A Coruscating Hope, it might therefore be said, is a record poised at the crossroads of listening environment applications: there are a few moments for the adventurous dancefloor to be sure, but much of the record truly lies in a hypnagogic inner space…a soundtrack for contemplative rumination and self discovery.

More emerging talent out of Montreal comes in the shape of fast-rising DJ & selector Lis Dalton. Having been intro'd to the Lobster family by Dust-e-1, Lis' solidly-blended sets and knack for a break-y earworm has led to her recording being hammered in the office.

Between key gigs on the Montreal circuit (supporting Yaeji and hitting highly-respectable festivals Piknic Electronik & Shaker Mountain) she's contributed mixes for Bake's Rinse FM show (alongside regular booth mate DJ Frog) as well as an other worldly Graphite Publications set.

This Lobster mix is a dream-world of percussive breaks and sizzling rhythms. Blended, baked and arranged to a T! Lis has rocketed up our list of ones to watch, let's hope she comes to Europe some time soon :)

Words from the artist...

"I recorded this mix in a very blissed out and mellow mood. Maybe good music to sit and ponder the order of the universe, or just take in that earth is a nice little home, or maybe just stare out your window and think about nothing in particular, kind of like your dog does when you're not home. It includes both some old and new favorites of mine, all music that has moved me in one way or another... to tears even. Thanks to all beings whose musical contributions made this mix."

Based in the Bay Area, @aunteesam of Club Pansy got their start DJing relatively recently. With their storytelling background as a filmmaker/editor and their strong sense for what it means to get lost in the emotions of a dancefloor, it feels like they could have been DJing for years. Viewing music as a universal language, their mixes are jubilant and connective — this is music for smiling at your neighbor through the fog, for uplifting one another, for heading home with a full heart and a changed mind.

"Music to smize to. As a filmmaker/editor by day, I really enjoy storytelling, evoking feeling, and creating a sense of warmth through the art. It’s not a perfect story, but it has a beginning, an arc, and a resolution.

This mix is bright, has some tight hugs of acid, and groovy bass lines to get your feet kickin’. I’m sharing music that combines my love of dancing and feeling sanguine - This mix is full of tunes that please my soul. I recorded this using an XDJ-RX2 and some studio monitors."
