This set is full of dark, chunky basslines with ragga vocals spun through it. 
Playing in Adelaide was bliss <3

Freq- WAVECULT//IMBOLC doof set.

My set from the EPIC 'Deliverance: Wytaliba Rising' Nov 2023 or should we say Darliverinse!! Where I accidentally ended up warming up for Billain. Was a pleasure to play on that beasty GNS rig & be back down there experiencing such a ridiculous event in such stunning landscape with so many pure legends & talented mofos!

Volume 39 of the ADM mix series takes you through the darkest alleys. In this instalment, Mauja delves into the realms of halftime. As the mix unfolds, the darkness envelops. Yet within it lies a deep beauty. You can't help but internalise the ominous as Mauja navigates you through the shaded depths. This mix signals a clear intent. If you are a halftime producer, ADM wants to hear from you.

Mauja began DJ'ing in 2001 as an entry into the realm of music beyond simple listening. Skipping forward over twenty years, currently he is employed as a Senior Lecturer at SAE Institute in Perth, Australia. When not teaching, producing music or mastering, Mauja is constantly looking for fresh perspectives and new sounds. Outside of bass music, inspiration not only comes from an eclectic range of genres, but also film scores, any leftfield vinyl records collected over the years, not to mention graffiti/street art and anything in between.

Mauja's sonic palette is on full display right here, get to know.

ADM Mix Series Vol. 39 - Mauja

My set, live recorded, from the Ternion Sound gig in Adelaide on 10/02/24. 
This was a bit of a 'how the fuck did I get here?' sort of moment for me. Supporting one of my favourite artists, and one of the biggest in the scene, was an experience I couldn't have dreamed of even last year. The energy of the whole night was wild and I couldn't be more thankful to wavecult (Josh, Immy & Beau) for having me on this gig. And thankyou Ternion for bringing such high energy on the night!
It's a shame there's never anything happening in Adelaide... ;)

*There was a bit of a loop issue around 25 mins in, but other than that I'm stoked with how it all worked out.

Ternion Sound support mix Adelaide

For this installment of our mix series we’ve got the ADM boys from Perth to whip us up a little halftime appraiser.

Acomply

Part of Perth’s thriving Drum & Bass scene in the early 2000s, come 2009 Acomply was heavily influenced by Kryptic Minds, notably their “One Of Us” release on Osiris Music. This initiated a transition into the 140 BPM range and the sounds found in Deep Dubstep. Never one to stand still, Acomply started local label After Dark Music [ADM] in 2015 due to the lack of reach for the sounds he was hearing. Since then, the label has burgeoned into a collective of unique artists, crafting a recognisable sound and drawing influences from all corners of the globe. This has translated into success on Juno Download, Beatport, and further opportunities to collaborate with artists like Mikrodot, 11th Hour, Chad Dubz, Wraz and Morning High who have all featured. When it comes to his sets, expect a blend of heavy low end and spacey dubbed out textures, some unreleased/forthcoming material, and generally forward thinking music.

Mauja

Has been DJ'ing since 2001, and producing music since 2010. Employed as a Senior Lecturer at SAE Institute in Perth, when not teaching Mauja is continually staying abreast of the latest technology and developments in electronic music, as well as being heavily involved in various musical projects. This includes with After Dark Music [ADM] as a label partner and mastering engineer. Influences include a wide variety of sounds and genres from a broad array of electronic music to various metal bands, hip hop, scratch DJ’s, film scores and any leftfield vinyl records collected over the years. Other sources of inspiration come from science fiction, graffiti/street art and anything in between. Expect moody vibes, and a schematic of tracks showcasing sound design, groove and heavy syncopation from his sets.

The step Files - Episode 1

A drop in the pond,
from the deep south.

Welcome to the hallucinatory soundscapes of bass music with step.
A mesmerizing world swirled with deep vibrations, captivating textures, and intoxicating broken beats. Taking dubstep back to it's roots, then a step further with an intense feeling of power and depth.
The producer from New Zealand gained popularity for his genuine approach towards bass music, showing a carefully layered journey with organic undertones, proven to have compelling hypnotic powers.
A highly profound listening experience that can best be described as deeply psychedelic.
A little darkness, makes the light shine brighter.
