SOFT.spot.1

[DYAD]

Wings of D’sire is the sonic bi-product of the friendship between party-enjoyers / closed-eyed dancers / Gadigal-based DJs Maria Wang @dgradeknockoff and Liam Taylor @wiiingnut. Inspired by a spectrum of frenetic, bossy and beautiful sounds, Wings of D’sire pursue the margins of dance music as they navigate us through boisterous and emotive waves of sub-bass.

SOFT CENTRE - [SOFT.spot] Wings of D'sire - Falling with Style

To guide us through the next simulated experience; Passing Notes Radio boss and 1/2 of the great new label ‘Companion', Pjenné [Melbourne, AUS], shows us what a utopian existence can sound, feel and look like.

Follow on as she glides through the stratosphere, looking down on the lush greenery and crystal water that our earth effortlessly inhabits... occasionally looking up into the vast display of distant stars and planets, glittering across the stillness of outer space.

Pjenné beautifully illustrates the phenomenology of nature through tracks which touch on each element, whether that be the ethereality of air, the intricacy of water, the depth of earth, or just the pure warmth flowing through this immaculately thought-out audible narrative.

We couldn’t help but think this would be the perfect soundtrack for the day peace on earth is declared, where humanity sits back and appreciates a new world— where collectively, we love what grows, exists and dies.

This small blue dot is our home… our balanced oasis in the desert of space. Perhaps we need the ability to fly to see a different perspective - and we’re sure this will help.

Close your eyes and drift into your own self.

Enjoy, and thankyou Pjenné

Virtual Utopia 03: Pjenné

@wiiingnut

Dancing alone in the kitchen as the coffee boils, I am thinking about making friends at sunrise, in the bush, in a laneway, in a park and how good it feels to move and be together.  

Together we can be high, rinsed, munted, ecstatic, chaotic, different, carefree, strong, nourished, organised. Move together in union.

Jungle is massive.

Nosedrip & OKO DJ At Solstice 2024

Killian and D-Grade mixed live on FBi Radio 06.10.24

Full episode + tracklist: https://www.fbi.radio/programs/m5/episodes/m5-6th-october-2024

D-Grade is a DJ and organiser based on Gadigal land, in Sydney Australia. They present ‘serious’ music with cheek, quirk and unpredictability and love to playfully toy at the margins between ‘mind’ and ‘body’ music. D-Grade enjoys frenetic, bossy and beautiful sounds. They’re partial to a good baseline, gritty drums, a gloomy vocal or gaudy guitar riffs. They sometimes appear as Wings of D’sire with good-friend-and-close-collaborator Wingnut, with whom they also put on intermittent, often-elusive boof functions.

“eyes closed and channel open
an insight into what’s inside
something magikal, something immaterial
finding form through figments of
imagining, making, moving
through subconscious conjuring
we gently tend to what can’t be known
and yet is always felt within”

— excerpts from my dear friend Imbar Amira Nassi’s text-message musings on ’dreamgarden’
