Mixes

Animix Thirty Eight comes from @steve-duncan, a talented digger and co-founder of the iconic @patternsofperception music collective. Born in Australia, but having spent his recent years in Berlin, Steve now resides in Helskini.

I am lucky to have met Steve through my travels, and also having been gifted an opportunity to play at one of the @patternsofperception parties in Berlin. What they have managed to achieve as a collective is beyond impressive. As a DJ, Steve's talent is equally notable - his creative and smooth mixing style, and classy selection of deep, crunchy & vibrant sounds. This mix here follows suit fittingly, meeting the perfect balance between sophistication and groove.  

Thanks so much for this one Steve <3

Step inside the mind of @patternsofperception's @steve-duncan with the Australian DJ and long time Berlin-based tastemaker treating us to a soothing fusion of chillout techno meditations spun at 33rpm. Now settling into a new life in Helsinki while navigating the pandemic, we chat about where he got his start back in Canberra and Sydney around the turn of the century, and how it lead him to Berlin to start the wonderfully curated Patterns of Perception series alongside five friends in 2016.
