Test subject 1.12 @explicitjoy returns to us from deep space exploration, recounting an odyssey brimming with galactic curiosity and mystifying insights into a world beyond our own. Allow explicit joy to show you what is really out there.

"This mix was actually more challenging than I was expecting. The visual gave me a very cosmic vibe so I wanted to convey the feelings you have on a journey; moments of uncertainty, tension, release, calm, intensity and so on. Referring back to the image, I kept second-guessing my choices and it made me far more particular than usual. I had an original version of the mix and was very underwhelmed with how it went so I scrapped it, but this was a good push for me to create something I’m genuinely happy with." - explicit joy on how they approached working with the image.

Manifestation // explicit joy

"A sensory experience that transports you back to a pre-COVID era, where anything is possible. Feel that? Is it a fog machine? Or is it the sensation of fresh, dewy air tickling the hairs on your skin. A soft luminous glow emerges as the landscape clears; lava and salt lamps lighting up this leafy dance floor for one. Hear that? The beat of the jungle kicks in. It ebbs and flows with a pounding bassline and mystical high hat, taking you to a land over 5km away. Then you smell it. A woody scent wafting through the trees. Who needs the great outdoors when incense can take you there? Home is where the heart is after all. And it doesn’t even cost you the $23 Uber ride home" @georgia-bird-3 / @in2stellar

There's no question in the remarkable quality of the musical outputs that Melbourne has to offer. Every now and then however, something truly special comes across your musical desk. For me, one of the most exciting projects to come of 2020 is Acopia.

Acopia brings together three local Melbourne musicians @purient, @liluzu and @morganwright, commendable all in their individual endeavours, but together converge to showcase a contemporary incarnation of stripped back, emotional synth pop reminiscent of the 80s. Their debut EP 'For You I Try' is everything I love packaged in two neat little arrangements, warm yet melancholy and worthy of a tear or two. Acopia's less is more approach to music will no doubt see them flourish into their bright future. I'm counting down the days until we can see Acopia take the stage live, but for now Lachie, Kate, and Morgan joined me for a chat and one hour guest mix, broadcast live on PBS Melbourne for Passing Notes episode 81.

For the next meltdown we present local legend, Underground City Loop.
A multi-disciplined musician who holds a deep understanding of a broad spectrum of musical facets, Underground City Loop comes through with a deep bass driven, chuggy, chargey and powerful mix. One half of Melbourne collective Hybrid Man (@hybridmn) - he is no stranger to the scene. 

Underground City Loops recent release 'Circadian Rhythms’ can be found here: https://undergroundcityloop.bandcamp.com/album/circadian-rhythms and is definitely one you need in your locker.

The 6th mix of our series comes from the mysterious and exceptionally talented S.O.N.S. We have been a fan of his music since the beginning and have in most occasions stocked his highly sought-after releases here at the shop. Now we’ve been presented with an expertly crafted mix of mostly ambient music from the man himself and we couldn’t be happier with the result. Tune in to his mix for a 1 hour trip and read the Q&A below to get to know more about the shadowy artist. @s-o-n-s
