For the 5th instalment of our series we welcome Galo. A young selector hailing from Israel who we connected with here on the cloud and got to know a little better over the last few years sharing music together and bonding over our mutal love music.  Galo is resident DJ and an integral part of The Breakfast Club in Tel Aviv whose outlook and programming share a similar curation & aesthetic to our own parties.  He's given us a beautiful mix that would sit perfectly at the beginning of a night, inviting you with dreamy ambient textures, swampy prog, tribal nodders and re-pitched acid trance.

Continuing the series we have a very special mix from an exciting new artist called Faery to share.  Hailing originally from Bristol and recently relocating to London, Faery has been building a strong fan base with her deeply psychedelic and hypnotic DJ sets.  Infusing Dozzy/Tozzi esq left-field techno, psy trance, fractured soundscapes and dark forest trips, Faery cleverly presents a fresh, contemporary and otherworldy take on trance inducing electronica.

New mix for you and its goodie! 

Through the more positive connective powers of the metaverse, we became aware of Takumi after he commented on one of our crews mixes, forging a new friendship and prompting us to add him to a small trance FB community. Sharing music and insightful knowledge of his own involvement in the early 00's trance scene in Japan, naturally linked him with other collectives and label owners who have since hosted his mixes and been able to show case his selector skills.  Missing the boat slightly to extend our own invitation, the excitement when we did has clearly been channeled deeply into providing us with the prefect S:S mix that we're very happy to share.

Kicking off the new year and picking up the tempo we have a rly nice ride from one of our good friends Wednesday. 
 
Wednesday aka Hannah's foray into the scene began with a residency with South London's Co Select who put on quality underground DIY events around the city and were early advocates for balanced representation behind the booth.  Her first two mixes demonstrated an ear for selection and programming that stood out and led to us booking her for one of our parties, not knowing she had already been attending as a punter :)  With a character that matches her cheeky style, Wednesday has slowly been building a name for herself playing across town and further afield for Together Elsewhere, RE:SISTANCE, Free Movements, Above & Below Festival, Divine Risen, Hypersoft in Berlin and regularly at UNFOLD.  
Here she jumps straight into it with just over an hour and a half of craftily woven progressive trance and minimal psy.

Next up is HENRY.

Some of you will know the duo as the guys behind the People & Places podcast series, who over the last few years have given a platform to many young and not widely known artists, showcasing new talent, getting people heard, and expanding the network.  It should come as no surprise then that they're great DJ's too! 

Having grown fond of the boys over the years, wether catching them play around town or chatting nonsense on various dance floors, it seemed only right to ask them to provide us with a mix.

So, with nearly 2 hours of solid, no messin, giddy prog, we present HENRY!

Frond aka Sophie is a South East London based DJ/producer and one of the co-founders of the Pollination collective who run a label, put on parties, curate a mix series and organise community projects. We stumbled upon her last year and have been enjoying a bunch of her mixes for CommaCast, On Rotation, Planète Noire and Fuaim. Her sets are peppered with influences of early trance, techno, and 00's prog, building tension, keeping you engaged and demonstrating an ear for storytelling. 

So, here with 010 is FROND

Further kindred linkings from across the waters, this time with Goos from Stuttgart's community based collective aaae (@aestheticasanethos) who has provided us with an hour and a bit mix of swampy tek, full of rare and unreleased re-pitched psy from the furthest corners of the dark web.

Next up is Amsterdam based artist Caim. The Dutch native has been making waves with both his characterful DJ sets and elegant productions. Resident at Amsterdams infamous Breakfast Club and label boss at Lonely Planets Rec, he's becoming a large figure in the Dutch underground. 

For this mix, he's dug a little deeper into his bag and provided us with just over 2 hours of craftily woven prog, techno and trance tribalings. Enjoy the ride!

S:S 014 comes from Italian/Albanian artist Brad Alloc. 

We came across his mixes after hearing them on a long car journey to a festival last year from what can only be described as a cosmic serendipitous link up with Brad's aka Stiven's best friend.  Being treated to at least 4 of his mixes on our trip, we were impressed with his fluid, genre hopping style, and his ability to weave together ambient, IDM, deep techno and trance in a unique, lucid and hypnotic way - both rhythmically and texturally. 

A regular on Radio Raheem in Milan with his Biocybernetics show, Stiven is also a lover of the outdoors, and is responsible for the aptly named Mycelium forest parties in the mountains of North West Italy that he puts on with his OOM collective.

S:S 015 is here with a heavy trip from Ukrainian DJ/Producer @shjva.

Quickly making waves with a notable output of unique and fresh productions, straddling the fringes of IDM, Techno and Trance, Shjva has understandably turned a lot of heads in the last few years. 

Relocating to the Polish city of Warsaw 7 years ago from her native Ukraine she started the Penumbrum Radio show, later growing to a party collective and label with other local like minds joining, which then saw her put out a slew of music, playing live sets and DJing frequently in Berlin and across Europe.  It didn't take long for the network to expand to these shores with friendships and links being made with our crew and some of our extended family, realising EP's and mini albums on both People & Places and Common Ancestors. 

Desperate to bring her over to the UK, complications with visa's have unfortunately scuppered any attempts for the moment. For now we have a beautiful mix that she's skilfully crated for us that perfectly illustrates her sound and gives you a little snippet into the mind of Shjva.

For the 16th Transmission, we bring you a mix from 98dots, the alias of Georgian-born DJ Nikoloz Gedevanishvili. 016 is a perfect snapshot of 98dots' growing influence, starting with a steady build and offering a seamless fusion of mind-bending acid and trance(-y) techno that transports you straight to the dancefloor.

Known for his unique fusion of sounds, 98dots has been steadily making a name for himself around the globe. Now permanently based in the US, Nikoloz is also the host of the monthly radio show, Rapture Investigation on MutantRation.net, where he explores all sides of electronic music.

42nd Avenue, also known as Thijs, hails from Amsterdam and brings us Transmission 17. We first connected with Thijs through mutual friends at no.clubs. He’s a prominent figure in Amsterdam’s underground scene, playing a key role in the creation of nano.clubs, an exceptional (albeit short-lived) venue renowned for its impeccable sound and setup. In addition, Thijs runs his own ad-hoc party, Club Cohesie, which moves between various spaces in Amsterdam. His sets and mixes are hard to categorise, as they seamlessly drift through a variety of styles, and this mix is no exception. A avid vinyl enthusiast, he recorded this mix at home with two turntables and an A&H mixer. Enjoy x

Next up is Maximilian FD, aka Max, originally from East London. Max is becoming a key figure on the London underground circuit, co-running the party Small World which moves between various spaces around the city. This one’s a carefully put together selection - a low-slung trip, exploring techno (?) and beyond. Thoughtful, measured, and built with intent.

SUB:SYSTEM resident wing man Richard Gregory kicks off our series with a considered meld of early trance and proggy acid.  Enjoy.

Next up in the mix series is @auratekh, with 1hr 30mins of slow, chuggy, celestial trance.  Auratekh is a long time collaborator with S:S, igniting our parties with other worldly visuals which he co-creates with Josh as Ixian Optical. He's also responsible for producing some trance inducing edits, inspired by the early sounds of Goa and beyond...  links below.

Previous SUB:SYSTEM guest and frequent front row dance trooper Mr Assister accelerates the pace for our next instalment... navigating us through the deep and murky swamp lands, dodging rattling drums, mutant pads and off kilter atmospherics, with just over an hour of progressive trance and psychedelic techno.

Pre Covid, Hackney's techno pacifist Miro SundayMusiq could be found most weekends soundtracking the 2nd rooms of London's more discerning music get togethers, casting spells with majestical ambient selections and love filled sunrise sets. Along with playing other people's records he also makes pretty good ones too, with his own productions debuting on the fitting Animals On Psychedelics label, along with an eagerly awaited forthcoming track on Luca Schiavoni's soon to drop E2-E8 label - who together played one of the most memorable b2b sets at our first forest party.  The man that barely sleeps is also the muscle and grit behind Hackney's Netil Radio, where you will find him most days, or can catch him making selections on his own Sunday Morning Transition show.  So put down what you're doing, nestle someplace nice and get to know Miro SundayMusiq, who's kindly put together the perfect witchy brew of jilted atmospherics, hypnotic tribal rhythms and rapturous wrong speeders for 004.
