INTERVIEW + TRACKLIST > https://inverted-audio.com/mix/box5ive

For the 387th edition of the IA MIX Series, we are beyond excited to invite London-based ambient and experimental producer @box_5ive to deliver the goods.

With a productive year culminating in the release of his debut album 'Grey Space' via co:clear, a sparse, ambient tinged bass record that blew our minds and remains one of our favourite full lengths of the year. With that record and scattered tracks for the likes of Well Street and Comic Sans, Box5ive is a burgeoning name in the ever expansive and adventurous world of UK bass, grime, and dubstep.

Box5ive's mix explores contemporary independent club tracks, providing a glimpse at his peak time prowess from the comfort of your headphones. There are hints of his bass and dubstep influences, but it's woven in between prime dance fodder that works perfectly under strobe lights as the night morphs into the morning .

In addition to his stellar mix, Box5ive graciously answered our questions to shed light on his musical influences and beginnings, current studio set up, and a look at some of his favourite London clubs. ‎

For this first episode of Puzzle, tobha has invited Un:seen's co-founder 
and lovely soul behind the Berlin chapter of DAYTIMERS: Abibi (she/her).

Bred in Lahore and based in Berlin, Abibi mixes between different styles 
and genres, jumping between moods, but keeping the dancefloor thumping. 
Not limited by genre, and always trying to take things less seriously 
than she should, Abibi's sets are a combination of the weird and 
unexpected with a dash of familiarity thrown in for good fun.

PUZZLE WITH TOBHA & GUESTS — #1 w/Abibi

Enjoy this wobbly, spacey mix featuring some of Ben and Hank—the masterminds behind local gig series Wishful Thinking—musical favourites plus some artists that they've have been lucky enough to tour in the past year. It can be at some points chaotic, but always lands where it needs to. Don’t ever let anyone tell you that’s enough dub echo.

Wishful Thinking Ep. 1 w/ Hank & Ben

Abram up next with another hour of dubwise electronics, kosmische, and psychedelia

“I start associating your voice with ….”, for a while ML has been part of the NTS community, jingling around, airing his monthly 150 Session out of Berlin’s North, where all seasons give reasons. For clarification, creation, inspiration. One hour of poetic and musical explorations, questions, and curiosities. Circling around daring electronics, ethno-sonics, jazz-constructivism, minimalism, open structured digital dopamine, risky dub excitement and other sounds, that still need to be written. No country, no flag – outernational without a cause!
