For our second Truancy Sessions of 2025 we're excited to bring on Dj Wiggles, an artist who in the ever-evolving landscape of electronic music has managed to cultivate for herself a multifaceted breakthrough career that seamlessly blends DJing, event curation, her own label and a wonderful mix series to boot. Initially immersing herself in dance music whilst at university in Brighton, inspiration from a community of like-minded individuals and local events paved the way, before a move to London marked a significant evolution in her artistic development. Living near the now closed down Pickle Factory, the eclectic late-night sets of artists like Margaret Dygas, Jane Fitz, and Call Super, combined with the music of peers such as re:ni and Batu, helped shaped her distinctive approach to DJing and curation. Kicking off kinetic in 2019, the platform initially started out as a radio show on 1020 before branching out into a mix series on Soundcloud a little later. Since then, kinetic has flourished, hosting events across South London and establishing a regular home at the much beloved Ormside Projects.. With a tingling take on contemporary bass music and delicately left-field sub heavy sounds, previous guests have included Dub Athlete, upsammy, Jurango and Nono Gigsta to name just a few. More recently she inaugurated kinetic as a label with the release of 5RVZ's Trench EP, marking yet another milestone in pushing the platform forward. For this Truancy Sessions mix, Dj wiggles has crafted a deeply-considered trip that embraces emotional subtleties and textural transitions. Reading between the lines with tracks needing to find their placing in the electronic landscape, she's able to weave together tracks that resist easy categorisation, highlighting the beauty  of those in-between moments with a layer of unpredictability.

After an extended pause for much needed rest and slow reflection, the Patterns of Perception crew is excited to return to our mix series with fresh energy and a stellar new mix from Jasmin, aka softi (@jazz_brown). 

Soulful, breezy and groove-laden, softi's Patterns of Perception 122 shimmers with her kaleidoscopic, minimal sound. Weightless sparks float and flicker in dim light. Time dilates; seasons drift.

A few thoughts from Jasmin:

Hey Jasmin, how’s it going? What's been happening for you lately?
I’m well, I’m currently living between Lisbon and London this summer which has been a dream! Great food, beach sessions and writing music. It’s been a wild 3 months and I’m just getting myself ready for the seasons changing!

What can you tell us about your mix?
For this mix I wanted to mould my love of groovy minimal and psychedelic tones for the moody season ahead, which is usually my signature sound! I have been producing a lot of this recently and some of my unreleased bits are exclusively inside 💜

⁠Is there a track or tracks that are extra special for you?
I’d probably say my own productions are the special to me as it reminds me of how much I have developed as a producer and artist. I love connecting with the tracks and being able to create my own atmospheric world for listeners to get lost in. But one track that I always come back to is "bluep" by Underground City Loop (a producer from Aus). I have been playing this track for years and it has every sonic element you'd want from a track - low end sub groove with dark melodic synths.

A slow-burning glide through hazy reverie - @leifsounds’ Patterns of Perception 123 blurs the boundary between waking and vivid dreamscape. 
Spectral melancholia suffused with gentle insistence. Sultry percussion whirs. Reflections dissolve, rhythms build.

- Hey Leif, how’s it going? What’s been happening lately?
Hey, I'm good thanks - enjoying spending some time focusing on producing / mixing again after a bit of a break! There are a few things on the horizon including some new material and some radio shows this winter.

- Tell us a bit about this mix - what was your idea or direction behind it?
It was a chance to weave together a few dreamy slow burners around the 100bpm mark I've been really enjoying recently, and feature some fresh bits from Duckett and others along the way.

- ⁠Are there any tracks or moments in the mix that feel extra special or defining to you? 
'Pick a Headline' - one I made together with Duckett will always feel like a special track - it's a few years old now but still brings serenity every time I listen.
