As we are slowly preparing to transition into winter, winding down from the NZ festival season, we are delighted to kick off our Silk Sessions Podcast. Every two weeks you can expect to be taken on a unique journey by one of our Silk Collective members.

In this first session, @mellowtact is showcasing congenial tastes from the softer side of electronic music. Mellowtact has slung grooves right across NZ from festivals to warehouse parties from early evenings to late nights & sunrises. 

Enjoy this warm and cozy hug of a set, that will still make you tap your toes. As the original chocolate Elvis once said: shake it don’t break it.

Plastiks - Subardo Winteredition 2025

The Recording unfortunately stopped after the first of this originally two hour set I felt so so deep, sorrounded by the sweetest human beings:) The second hour will be rerecorded and added to this first snippet:)

Lego @ KUR 8 - 010225

After five years of planning, writing, and refining their sound, London-based production duo Kolectiv are set to release their long-awaited debut drum & bass album, Circadian Rhythms.

The project began in the aftermath of the pandemic, when the pair started setting aside tracks that captured the spirit of a night out at a drum & bass event. Their vision was clear: to create an album that reflects the variety, energy, and progression of a rave – from the first beats that pull you into the closing sounds that carry you home.

“Going out to drum & bass nights, you’d hear so many different flavours across six or seven hours. We wanted the album to follow that same arc – like a circadian rhythm, a natural flow of time, but in this case the cycle of a rave,” Kolectiv explain.

To achieve this, the duo placed a strong emphasis on originality and sound design. Most of the album was built from scratch using their own recorded samples, crafted through sessions with keys, drums, and guitars, and only dipping into external sources when absolutely necessary. Vocal collaborations from PAV4N, Hijak MC, Illmatika and Kerry Donnelly add unique flavour to the project, while carefully placed interludes tie the project together as a complete listening experience.

“This isn’t just a collection of tracks. We wanted it to be a journey – a cradle-to-grave kind of experience – with highs, lows, and moments to breathe.”

The title Circadian Rhythms captures that intention perfectly: an audio diary of a night spent immersed in drum & bass culture, told through Kolectiv’s trademark blend of technical precision and emotional depth.

The project also coincided with a complete studio overhaul, giving Kolectiv a fresh environment to finalize and mix down the record with a renewed sense of clarity and focus.

With Circadian Rhythms, Kolectiv deliver more than an album – they present a story, an atmosphere, and a tribute to the music and culture that shaped them.
