Vladimir Ivkovic - Live From Dimensions 24'

The first episode of the 2025 Diggers Society Records Listening Series is recorded by one of the most influential duos in the international underground scene. Lucretio and Marieu, with their energy, have earned a place among the best with their authentic, deep, eclectic sound, crafted down to the finest detail

DSR Listening - 06 The Analogue Cops

The first entry in this year’s Virtual Utopia program comes from the Australian-born, Berlin-based duo, Daisy Records (@daisyrecordsmelbourne). Mitch and Obelix have crafted an entrancing 2.5-hour journey that weaves through downtempo, house, ambient techno, and trance -all infused with a shimmering ambiance that radiates warmth and positivity. Each track carries an ethereal beauty, enveloping the listener in a calming softness that invites them to close their eyes and drift peacefully through the inner, and outer reaches of their minds. 

Daisy Records are true masters at capturing a sense of ethereal spaciousness, delivering a sonic palette that soothes the mind and cleanses the spirit. This mix offers listeners the space to let their thoughts flow gently downstream, while their atoms dissipate, floating aimlessly yet never lost, free from the need for a destination.

Every sense is blissfully engaged here—vibrant colors, cooling winds, the fresh scent of life, and the harmonious soundscape of a flourishing Earth. A temporary window into the unspoiled nature it once was.

Through the spectrum of euphonic sound, resonating souls merge and dissipate like distant murmurations. Although for some, however much their distance may change, through the phenomena of love, they will remain forever bound.

Thank you, Mitch and Obi, for this beauty <3

Diving into the darkness of a hypnotic opening, So-Fi weaves a subtle and graceful sonic narrative for episode 006 of our mix series. Through this mix, the French Berlin-based artist sketches a journey to the outer edges of a vaporous and magnetic techno — a slow-burning ascent that draws us in, over time, into a psychedelic vortex of sinuous and harmonious curves. A journey where every nuance reveals the contours of her artistic and emotional sensitivity.

The world COSMO creates is reminiscent of the nostalgic deep house of the 90's, yet somehow futuristic, and you lose yourself in the groove, you feel as if you have boarded a time machine from the future to the past. Enjoy this light minimalist set, which straddles the line between melancholy and exhilaration, delivered by one of Korea's leading DJs of the new generation.

COSMOが創り出す世界は90年代のノスタルジックなディープハウスを彷彿とさせながらもどこか未来的で、そのグルーヴに身を委ねていると、まるで未来から過去へ向かうタイムマシーンに搭乗しているような気分になる。韓国の新世代を代表するDJによって届けられた憂鬱と爽快感の狭間を往く、軽快なミニマルセットをお楽しみください。

We’re proud to welcome @daisyrecordsmelbourne into our WHiTMIX series — a mix that moves with the pulse of so-called Australia and the deep threads of community that continue to shape us across distance and time.

Crafted by the Berlin/Naarm-based collective, this mix holds space for the voices and rhythms that formed their roots and ours — a sonic reflection of connection, memory, and place.

From Daisy Records:
“We’re a Berlin/Naarm-based label, online store, DJ duo and event series. This mix is a personal one, made entirely of artists from so-called Australia — a place that shaped our ears, friendships and dancefloors, and continues to ground our project even as we live oceans away.

Through our first three annual compilations and beyond, we’ve always aimed to highlight emerging talent from back home. This mix is no different — it’s filled with rhythm, memory, and love for the community that raised us.”

Grateful to share this frequency with you.

And then you find yourself here. Not where you thought you’d end up, maybe not even where you meant to go — but somewhere. The signs aren’t clear, the feeling isn’t grand, but it’s enough to make you pause. Maybe it’s not arrival, but recognition. A vague sense that something has shifted, or that you’ve been standing still for a while. You tell yourself: This must be somewhere. Not quite lost, not quite found. Just... here.

Rev Lon is a Melbourne-based multidisciplinary artist and the co-founder and curator of the Slow Burn mix and event series. Renowned for her deep, dubby mixes, she seamlessly blends genres like ambient, minimal, microhouse, and dub techno, crafting introspective sonic journeys that dissolve boundaries and invite a kind of still, inward motion. Her selections don’t demand attention — they unfold slowly, pulling you deeper with each subtle shift. For the 30th entry in the Discos Movimiento mixtape series, Rev Lon delivers a mix that feels less like a destination and more like a quiet, extended moment of clarity.

Rev Lon – This Must Be Somewhere / Mixtape Discos Movimiento #30

"Dancing in the Dark" is a synth-heavy emotional house track featuring hauntingly beautiful female vocals, deep basslines, and powerful drums that drive the rhythm forward. Blending elements of melodic house, deep house, and progressive house, this track captures the feeling of losing yourself on the dancefloor when the lights go low and the music takes over.

With atmospheric pads, layered synths, and heartfelt lyrics, "Dancing in the Dark" is perfect for late-night sets, introspective moments, or just vibing alone in your headphones.

Dancing In The Dark

a festival track. for the edm lovers and good times in the world.

Reviews 

Tillate Magazine 

"Rarely do the guys at Gung Ho! pick up a dud and it is yet more quality uncovered here - Glide & Swerve will certainly stand out from the labels pool of edgy electro artists; instead, these guys specialise in dreamy, delicious balearic house and electronica and they've come up with an absolute sweetheart of an album" 

IDM Magazine 

"Crazy P meets Spirit Catcher by way of a down-tempo Adam Freeland and Deep Dish. This is erotic electronica - laidback Nu-Disco at its best. Barbeque; bath; cooking; cleaning; reading; ironing; in a bar, restaurant or club…This is diverse, catchy and instantly lovable. 

Over half the album warrants being named as a ‘stand out track’ and the one that really does it for me is ‘Lara’s Song’. The groove, the euphoric woodwind sound, the pads, the tempo, the vocal elements and the varied segments clearly illustrate everything that makes a great electronic track. The emotion and soul of the pair really shine through in this track that is a great example for any budding producer…" 9/10

"Like a Rubik's Cube, the more time you devote to this album, the more likely it is to yield up its pleasures to your receptive eardrums." 

The SUN 

“a totally Balearic debut album, Bring Back Love, sounds something like Lemon Jelly or Zero 7 and is ideal for those blissful chill moments” 

www.thebeatsurrender.com 

"They show a real attention to detail, be it a cymbal crash at the end of And I Smile (which is the forthcoming single) to the beats that make Here & Now such a treasure of weird pysche. While they do utilise vocalists to brilliant effect throughout the album they also provide some quality instrumental moments. 

It really is a delightful album from start to finish and is certainly up there with the best dance albums released this year." 

About the Album 

Glide & Swerve’s cloud-gazing electronica is the perfect companion to 2009’s summer adventures. Mining a similar path to Lemon Jelly, Ultramarine, and Zero 7, the duo’s debut album, ‘Bring Back Love’, is a beautifully crafted long-player brimming with horizontal beats, pastoral melodies, and Balearic goodness. 

Ivan's musical journey began in 1988 with the arrival of the club scene; working as a DJ with legendary greats including Derek B, Tony Wilson and Carl Cox and making appearances at Dark Side of the Moon, Pacha and Genesis parties. 

Glide & Swerve, began life in Hong Kong as a production outfit and promoters of the island’s most infamous parties (often 2 day affairs which attracted international travelers, ex-pats, and Hong Kong Chinese alike). In addition to the DJs they’d fly in, Glide & Swerve would perform live alongside several vocalists, occasional dance troops, musicians, and a video artist who would create live backdrops on a 40 foot canvas behind the band. 

Upon returning to the UK, G&S began working on their own material and remixes for other artists. They released tracks and mixes for the likes of Pacha, Seamless, and 852, before recently signing with top indie imprint, Gung-Ho! Recordings, the home of The Japanese Popstars, Burn The Negative, Zoo Brazil, Petter & The Pix, Gus Gus, and more. 

If electro pop is the current sound of Saturday night Britain, then ‘Bring Back Love’ is the soundtrack to a Sunday afternoon spent in ‘recovery’. Forthcoming single, ‘And I Smile’, is one of the album’s vocal tracks, and is currently being played by specialist radio shows including that of French whiz, Laurent Garnier. 

Elsewhere, the album crosses downtempo beats (‘Inner Dub’), with dub (‘Falling’ and ‘The Journey Back’), quirky lounge (‘The Last Stand Of Mr Dann’), and psychedelic breakbeat (‘Here & Now’). Soundtrack-style moments such as ‘Lara’s Song’, sit neatly with the broken rhythms of ‘Feel It’, while tracks such as ‘Pure’ and ‘This Is Yours’ show Glide & Swerve can also take the tempo up a notch with ease.
