Patrick Holland - 13 April 2021

This episode's guest mix was recorded by Body Corp (Marco Vella) at his home on the East coast. 

Marco has been a source of inspiration for us for many years now. His productions, mixes and DJ sets have kept us company through many days and nights. Thank you Marco for contributing to the 20th episode of the show. We hope you have a nice day all the time.

OZ 45 – Steele Bonus & Noise In My Head

No Love UG edit

A small collection of music produced by or in association with Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander peoples. Lew and myself put this mix together in mid 2015 for our radio show on the community broadcaster 3RRR 102.7fm. 

We're hardly in a position to make commentary on the vastly diverse musical cultures that exist across the cities, towns and communities in Australia, but this seemed like a simple way to provide an alternative to the JJJ countdown. We encourage you to have a look and listen for yourself - you'll fine everything from desert reggae to 90s house, and stomping rock. 

Thanks and gratitude to all the musicians involved in these projects, both living and deceased; to C.A.A.M.A. for releasing almost half the songs on this mix, Incite Youth Arts (http://redsandculture.com/) for their excellent compilations, and resources like IndigiTube (http://www.indigitube.com.au/) for a chance to hear these fantastic artists. Thanks to Peter Mumme for providing a deeper understanding of the Waak Waak Jungi project (for which there is a reissue in development). 

The refusal to celebrate Australia Day is part of an ongoing fight for the recognition of first nations people's rights. If nothing else, we hope this mix can serves as an alternative soundtrack for a weekend that otherwise resounds with a the cannons, fireworks and bells of Australia's colonial history. If you are able bodied and free, I encourage you to attend one of the many rallys that will be taking place on the 26th January. 

Waak Waak Jungi - White Cockatoo (Contemporary)

I wish to acknowledge that the land I learn, create, and grow upon is the traditional land of the Ngunnawal and Ngambri people of the Canberra region.
I wish to honour the Ngunnawal and Ngambri people past, present, and emerging, and respect their deep spiritual relationship and connection to country.
I recognise that this relationship has existed over many hundreds of years and will continue to exist.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are the first custodians of this land and their history, culture and spirit must be recognised and shape our understanding and responsibility toward the land.

We open on red earth and whistling winds. The fire crackles, and the night creeps in. Fading light is met with rising sound. The bilma (clapsticks) play. We hear stories and songs; ones that speak to the rich history of the Yamitji and Wongatha peoples. Their ancestors have been here a long time. A long time.

Walya Ngaamadiki. 

As darkness turns to light, we travel north-east. We pass from red dirt to white sand. Through the sound of the waves, we hear songs from the Nunukul people and the Munaldjali clan of the Yugambeh. 

Red earth trails beneath us as we head west again, inland. Uluru rises before us. Here we pay respects to the central desert and its custodians, the Pitjantjatjara people.

The yidaki (didgeridoo)plays, calling us north. We’re greeted by Yolngu songmen from Yirrkala, before following calls east by the Mudburra peoples. We pause. We embrace the calm. 

Abala Barlawa (Everything is at peace)

We gaze out to the ocean. 

Islands to the north sing out, and a Kalaw Kawaw Ya voice arrives on the shores. We take stock, before we're beckoned south again.

We revisit the Yolngu songmen and greet the Pitjantjatjara people before heading east, to the Wannyi, Lardil and Kalkadunga tribes.

It's the gaagum (kookaburra) that welcomes us to our final stop. Gumbaynggirr country. 

Darkness starts to fall.

It’s been a long time. A long time. 

Walya Ngaamadiki.

cue: red earth & whistling winds (First Nations ambience)

A second small collection of music produced by or in association with Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander peoples. 

A few years ago, Lew and I made a 'change the date' mix for our RRR show. I find it mind boggling that we're still celebrating dispossession with a public holiday in 2021. Not to mention our Anthem, which just stinks - both words and music. 

As a so-called 'Australian DJ', I am always trying to find ways to incorporate more Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander music into DJ sets, radio, etc. I am hardly in a position to make commentary on the vastly diverse musical cultures that exist across the cities, towns and communities in Australia, but this again seemed like a simple way to provide an alternative soundtrack for a day that otherwise resounds with a dull, universalist rhetoric. 

If you like this stuff, have a dig for it. I've put a few links to music organisations below the tracklist so you can stream, download and support the musicians directly. Go listen to this kind of stuff direct from first nations artists, djs, broadcasters, etc.

Invasion day is not a day of celebration.⁣
⁣
It is a day for pause, for silence and for listening. Skylab Radio will be OFF-AIR today, and in place of our regular programming we have prepared this mix of First Nations tracks for our archive.⁣
⁣
We hope to see you all at the rally today and if you have the means, please pay the rent.⁣

OFF - AIR: First Nations Selects for Skylab Radio

www.openlab.fm | 106.4FM in Ibiza & Formentera

On this week's episode of OpenLab Selectors we welcome Dj duo Binomi, from Tarragona.

Heads of HOC radio and the parties of the same name, Binomi let go off the transversality of their music taste.
From a relationship forged in the heat of guitars and psychedelic sounds, the pair of friends set their course to the busy scene of Barcelona's electronic music scene and are known for a low and organic pulse in their sets, always with a Balearic touch and minimalist structure, although without denying the deepest acid and techno beats.

Press play and enjoy an hour of dreamlike vocals and enveloping rhythms, featuring forthcoming music on labels like Urpa i musell and Amatori, and recent works from Pillow Queen and Alfredo92  among many other amazing artists.

Episode eight features a luscious hour of songs and soundscapes from IVY in the latter half.

Bridge Music S01E08 (Skylab Radio) ft. Freda & Ivy

This Month on Rádio Quântica On Earth brings you a very special emotional whirlwind from Chicago’s @dj_leesh! Leesh, aka Alicia Greco, a longtime purveyor of emotional dance music, has gig’ed around at some of our favourite parties in the midwest including Pittsburgh's @hot-mass and Detroit’s Movement Weekend Industry Brunch. She’s also put out mixes on some of our favourite platforms; @walkingandfalling, @acidcamp, and @ravescout Cookies to name a few. We are super honoured to host her today and the mix she’s crafted for us stays true to the emotional brand!

Leesh is not only a dj but also works tirelessly behind the scenes running the enormous @daisychain_podcast Platform. In her words, “Daisychain is a movement to showcase power, beauty, and strength of DJs and artists” featuring trans, gender nonconforming people and women in particular. Daisychain is a force in our greater community, hosting everyone from octo octa to past OE guests Rachel Noon, Darwin, and Davis Galvin, to even some OE residents themselves! We are so grateful and inspired for the energy and passion Leesh brings to the community with Daisychain ❤

In this mix, leesh takes us on a ride through soaring, shimmering synths and choice vocals all to the tune of an ever pounding drum. Emotional bangers indeed.

She's followed in the second hour by resident @ceremoniesdj playing a little slower than she usually does, weaving in and out of some uncharacteristic house music vibes, all while throwing in some tried and true bangers from hodge and minor science.

Tune in! 💥

ON EARTH 027: LEESH & CERMONIES

Recordings focused on the scenes they draw and the scenes they draw from.
