Vlada @ 53100 - 2025

Don’t have many rules in life but one of them is that whenever a new mix by Pjenne comes out, to stop what I’m doing immediately and put it on. And probably am not alone here. 

Like many people, Pjenne’s mixes have been go-to’s, essential and always-classy additions to a landscape of noise and clutter. 

Like your favourite mix CD that never left the space•ship stereo. And no matter how many times you listen, it seems to get better and better with each play. They’re timeless, they’re crucial and the amount of care and love poured into each one is apparent as soon as you hear the first blend. 

Often compiled and cooked up over the course of a couple of years, they have the kind of craft and expertise that can only come from doing a weekly radio show for over 6 years, being a staple of her local Naarm scene and being an all-round legend. We’re pleased to report this mix is no different and has been on repeat since it arrived. 

Appreciate this is a bit of a gushy write up, but sometimes you’ve got to say it how it is, and anyone who’s a Pjenne Ultra will understand what a big day this is at space•lab HQ. 

Enjoy!

Sophie, aka Batgirl, takes a thoughtful dive into the more intricate and introspective edges of minimal, carefully drawing together different threads from her collection to craft a mix guided by a warped undercurrent that shapes the hour.

Rather than reaching for a peak, Batgirl moves with quiet persistence, bubbling and creating small waves of tension that ease back into a soft, hypnotic flow, shifting naturally from dreamlike moments to slightly darker, more haunting shades.
The result is a gently immersive journey, unhurried and atmospheric, inviting you to settle into its rhythm and let the details unfold.

Batgirl opens our next party on December 5th at Low Profile Studios.

Islas aka Ailsa Cavers is the curious mind behind many projects. From co-creating the Basic Moves record label, PLANET collective and the pop-up shop objet petit a / op-a with Dana Kuehr, there's always something fizzing.

We first met back in 2016, bumping into both her and Walrus in Leeds' Wire, Distrikt and Tribe Records over the same weekend. After a few shared tales, we ended up back at an afters for a long mission of mixing records and sharing more stories from their digging trip around the UK.

Ailsa has since developed a potent and intriguing style behind the decks, sitting somewhere between wonky minimal and punky oddballs, right through to introspective ambient and atmospheric club tracks.

There's always been a fruitful connection between the crews for almost 10 years, and it's about time we showcased her sonics in this wicked pod. Strap in!

The London-via-Bilbao DJ marks 15 years of Cartulis with two hours of punchy techno and electro, recorded live at FOLD.

When you think of London label and party Cartulis, dark, muscular electro and tough tech house spring to mind. But the name is more revealing than it first appears: in founder Unai Trotti's native Bilbao dialect, cartulis translates to "nerd." Like any labour of love, the project is driven by a deep, obsessive dedication, centred around sound, mood and community. 

Recorded at Cartulis' 15th anniversary party this autumn, RA.1017 captures why Trotti is such a compelling DJ. Playing only vinyl, he has a deft ability to balance functional club pressure with more leftfield selections, and as he outlines in his Q&A below, it comes from a belief in creative limitation, committing to a finite set of records and trusting instinct over abundance. 

Across the two hours, there are plenty of big, physical tracks built for the dance floor, but also some genuinely strange, confrontational stretches. Around the 15-minute mark, church bells ring out as a gothic female vocal looms overhead—David Lynch, if he needed an electro soundtrack. It's the kind of material you only hear at parties where dancers feel truly at ease, unafraid of the weird. That's Cartulis.
