Second very very special recording from the best night ever, in our Animix sub series of live recordings from Animalia x @vortexvortexvortex events. 

There’s not really a short or concise way to introduce Reptant (@reptant_the_lizard) (formerly Lou Karsh). One of Australia’s finest, most talented, and most dedicated exports. Apart from running his own top tier label,  LKR (@lkrrecords) , Lucas has been releasing music under various aliases for 5+ years now, on incredible labels including Kalahari Oyster Cult and Furthur Electronix. It's been incredible to watch his sound grow and evolve. Somehow always something new and exciting, but always classy and refined. we were so lucky to have him close out the event, especially before he jets off on a huge Europe tour very soon. Pure minimal electro class from beginning to end, filled with forthcoming Reptant bangers and beyond. 

Not only are you a dear friend, but we are so proud of you and we love you so much Lucas!

First ever release on the brand new label Serenity Now kick things off presenting the first ever EP by p1LL!

Even though this is the first EP as a solo artist, p1LL is very far from a newcomer.
In the mid 90s p1LL kept himself busy dj:ing and producing a lot of electronic music from his bedroom studio out of Santa Monica, where he even produced two tracks for an unreleased album by Seal. Most of this music stayed on hard drives and never came out.

Today, Serenity Now presents “The Other Side EP”, which consist of four songs produced between 1996-98. 
Versatile and quirky, yet straight forward club music that really do have a stand out sound, while at the same time a sound so contemporary that it’s hard to think they were actually made almost thirty(!) years ago.

The record really kicks off and sets the tone right with the deep and bouncy “Touch My Soul”,  where spacey keys and pads moves around in a pumping, futuristic soundscape. Moving on further we head over to “Think Things Over” for some straight forward, loopy and tech-y vibes that really makes it go off.
On the flip we start off with the track “Deep Inside My Mind”. - A full on, tripped out deep house excursion into soundscapes filled with whispering voices, bubbly bass-lines, punchy snares and intricate melodies that keep the driving energy intact.
Finally, we have “Break Free” as the perfect “end of the night”-track filled with euphoric energy. Heavy drums are accompanied by warm stabs and catchy breakdowns where some “good sleaze” piano solos.
All in all, what we have here is the perfect blend of tracks for all sorts of moments of the night. A very special record that really do stand out and will probably sound as good in thirty more years ahead.

The wait is finally over as Serenity Now is back in the building to unleash the highly anticipated remedy: "RX PRESCRIPTIONS Volume 1” by the Stockholm based duo DOC 'N' P1LL (@docjay_unlimited & @p1ll).
Prescribing a unique formula through four straight forward stompers that is guaranteed to ignite dance floors and elevate the atmosphere to unprecedented heights.

Setting the tone with "Geometric", a relentless dance floor bomb, featuring pounding beats and precise synths that drive listeners into a euphoric frenzy. Further on “Chordy” lives up to its name with infectious chords and heavy bassline. On the flip “Fastforward” is the sonic voyage through a futuristic realm, pulsating with energy and otherworldly atmospheres. Moments of tranquility amidst the intensity allow for reflection before hurtling forward once again. Last off we have the twisted, stripped down and funky groove “Get In The Car”.

"RX Prescriptions" is the culmination of the duo´s visionary artistry as they are showcasing a special vibe through four meticulously crafted tracks, pushing the boundaries of conventional club music with its unique sound. Just like a well-administered medication, "RX Prescriptions” ensures a therapeutic release of energy, keeping the party alive and kicking until the last beat drops.

Back on track setting the tone for the new year with the highly anticipated EP "Speed to Burn" by T.E.C. This sonic journey blazes through a spectrum of tempos and moods, delivering five dynamic tracks that navigate effortlessly from floaty downtempo atmospheres to high-octane peak-time bliss.

On the A-side, "Angle Grinder" takes center stage as a club-ready anthem with snappy drums and trippy chords, destined to elevate energy levels. Following suit is "Hi Set & Lo Set," a meditative piece that glides through a serene ambient landscape, offering a mixed excursion of airy textures and subtle dynamics.

Flipping to the B-side, "Myriad" goes off with a trippy, pumping jam that’s as captivating as it is infectious. Next up, "7001 On Plastic" kicks in with a fast-forward techy chugger—a proper peak-time weapon designed to ignite the dance floor. Closing out the EP, "Wasp" delivers a phased-out, downtempo voyage that lures listeners into a hypnotic state with its breezy, introspective flow.

With "Speed to Burn," T.E.C. delivers a masterclass in versatility, showcasing a rich tapestry of sounds that perfectly encapsulate Serenity Now’s ethos. This EP promises to light up dance floors while offering moments of introspection—an essential addition to any selector's collection.

Raw mix number 6. 

I would say getting comfortable with my uploads being heard on first recording/mix and realising no one could possibly judge me harder than I judge myself, these mixes are what I would normally listen to for my own personal use after I have a play around with tunes, to see where my timing is out, to make adjustments on track selection order and to generally hear what I played so I can go back and perfect it for a set. 

Enjoy some deep, tech and progg house 😂

Raw Mix #6

Loaf (@ashaloaf) hails from the Eora/Sydney area and has become a great friend to everyone on the Vertigo team over the past year.

We met Asha on the eve of Dimensions Festival in Croatia, and within a day, it felt like we had known each other for years. Over the next five days, we shared many unforgettable moments on the dancefloor, with Asha’s energy remaining unmatched throughout.

On the east coast, Asha's reputation continues to grow, with gigs scheduled most weekends supporting artists like Clint, Aloka, Rey Colino, and BLU:SH.

A passionate music digger, Asha brings a rich blend of progressive house, breaks, house, and dub techno to her latest mix. We hope one day she'll get to play on the best coast— the west coast.

In the meantime, enjoy the mix!

I wanted this remix to feel like a dream drifting over the desert, steady, hypnotic, and full of space for the listener to breathe. Every layer was built to keep the original’s emotion intact while adding textures, melodies, and moments that feel uniquely mine.

It’s a track for long night drives, for getting lost in thought, and for that moment when the beat hits just as your heart does.
