"Sometimes when you play it all just goes smooooooothly. This was one of those. The dancers, the weather, the soundsystem, the friends to the right of the booth at the front, the records just slotting into one another as if by magic, even ordering a new tune and receiving it on the morning of the set. Perfect timing! Falling into place!  Big up Menica, Ojoo and everyone at De Tuin van Heden for creating the context. Hope you enjoy reliving the moment if you were there and discovering some sounds for those who weren’t. HMU for track IDs anytime 😄" - Islas

Ojoo FM w/ Islas (closing at Ojoo 21.07.23)

At our latest stage hosting for Drift we invited Islas for the closing slot. She blew us away with a floor-oriented set crossing genres on the move.

Islas' roots were in the visual art. As she grew, the curiousness to sound grew with her. Starting with sets bringing together ambient, ASMR and spoken word; currently reviving dance floors with energetic and highly percussive gems. As artistic busy bee, Ailsa co-founded the PLANET collective and helped in founding belgian dance label Basic Moves. As person, a down to earth girl whose determination immediately sparkes interests. If you are in Brussels by any chance, check out Islas’ new pop-up shop ‘Objet Petit A’ set up with Dana Kuehr.

A few words from Evita [@la_dolc_evita] about her mix...
 
This mix unfolds like a lucid dream on the verge of breaking—familiar, yet forever just out of reach.  Melodies drift through vast, empty rooms; basslines rise like fog from the ground, slow and enveloping.  It’s the sound of falling in love with a moment you know won’t last, and dancing with its ghost long after it’s gone.

@mr_mur_ray is a NYC based DJ and the founder of Ladies On Wax, Outwatch, & FTF Records.  Here's a few words from the artist about the mix...

This podcast has been a real journey for me… like flipping through the pages of an old journal, seeing how my taste has shifted, evolved, and expanded over time. But even as I grow, I always keep that kid in mind… the one with gauges, blasting Senses Fail and Taking Back Sunday, feeling everything way too much..

My love for EBM, techno, and electro isn’t something new. It started back in my earliest encounters with electronic music… first as a raver falling hard for the Libertine sound, where everything felt raw, rebellious, and punk as hell. That energy never left me.

Making this mix felt like I was searching for something… meaning, maybe, or some forgotten part of myself. Each track came together not because it was supposed to, but because it felt right. It wasn’t about making something crowd-pleasing or polished… it was about letting the music speak, letting it pull me wherever it wanted to go. And honestly…I had the best time making it.

This isn’t a background listen. You don’t have to get it. You don’t have to like it. But if you give it a chance… if you let it sink in a little… it might just move you.

UC022 // Next up, is DJ Netburner who has recently returned to Melbourne with a back pocket full of stripped down, rolling minimal tunes.  

This mix floats in the void of a steady march with some intriguing emerging ideas as well as an unreleased track with signature Netburner sampling & techy goodness.

"l've been really interested in mixes and songs that have a bit of push-pull to them like the intensity or feeling of the song isn't always building directly towards being more energetic or more intense.  It has a bit of a push-pull feel to it or like ebb & flow so that's what I wanted to do with this mix.  It starts off a little bit more minimal before getting fuller towards the middle and then stripping back towards the end, with little peaks in between."

after studying visual arts, creative centipede
ailsa cavers aka islas slowly drifted 
towards a growing interest in sound. 
islas began crafting long, throbbing
sets that bring together delay
pedals, ASMR, spoken word,
movie scores, and ambient
sounds, playing with the
friction that exists when one
record meets another, with the
joy that erupts when sounds
come together to create the
previously unheard. having
participated in the creation of
belgian dance music label basic
moves, and recently co-founding
the PLANET collective, islas propels
dance-oriented sets,
all the while conserving a
passion for sampled and loopy
vocals, wonky percussion,
intoxicating breaks, and bird
sounds.
