Truancy Sessions S02 E02: FNKD (@fnkd1)

We head to London today for the second episode of season 2, with FNKD taking the reins with a two-hour mix that covers a wide range of musical styles. Known for his monthly radio show on Aaja Music and his role managing Corsica Studios’ in-house night Small Talk, we caught Felix delivering standout selections at this year’s Gala Afterparty at The Carpet Shop and knew we had to feature him in the series. Featuring tracks from Steevio, Zenker Brothers, Asusu, Mark Pritchard, and more, the mix carries a captivating, chapter-like flow as FNKD transitions effortlessly in a way that covers a whole host of bases. It’s a true testament to his genre-blurring expertise, moving from low-slung house grooves to techy steppers to classic dubstep, culminating in an ambient, psych-out jazz finale. This is a mix that invites repeated listens, but we’re confident just one is enough to leave an impression.

Having recently relocated to Europe, Medellín-born DJ zizi K reflects that the energy and passion for music she’s encountered isn’t so different from her city back home - "it’s pretty similar, just in a different setting". Growing up during Colombia’s golden age of hardcore punk, it’s clear how the genre’s raw drum-driven energy and rebellious attitude could serve as a gateway to equally intense electronic music. Yet, there’s an introspective depth and balance to the way she navigates her tastes and approach to DJing. Over the past year, she’s been a resident on Internet Public Radio with her themed morning show, Look Inside, where she invites DJs to curate mixes of the music they’d love to hear when waking up or making their first cup of coffee. The results are a heartfelt blend of styles, from downtempo breaks and low-slung house grooves to delicate electronics and ambient soundscapes. A designer by day, it’s no surprise she’s completely embraced the curative side of being a DJ. She shares that she loves crafting mixes with a fluid, cohesive flow, but what truly matters to her is ensuring they resonate emotionally. Her Truancy Sessions mix showcases this beautifully, with tracks from Skee Mask, Vince Watson, Joe Koshin, and Nathan Alexander seeping through with those sincere euphoric undertones.

Stepping up for the latest entry in our Truancy Volume series is Gabriola, a much-cherished spiritual resonator of all things euphoria. A true purveyor of trance and progressive bliss, Gabriola possesses an uncanny knack for unearthing the most elevated and transcendent gems. Their long-running Midnight Vapour Trail show on NTS—now an impressive 82 episodes deep, each an epic two-hour voyage—serves as both a testament to their encyclopedic knowledge and an invitation to immerse in the golden age of trance. As co-head of the London-based label Magicwire, Gabriola continues to amplify their vision, releasing a cascade of their own radiant, trance-inflected productions while curating boundary-pushing projects. Notably, bringing the legendary John Beltran's Placid Angles alias back into the spotlight, releasing a stunning follow-up to his seminal 1997  album in 2019 with First Blue Sky. Gabriola’s Truancy Volume encapsulates the world and Silver Surfer-styled avatar they've so vividly created—a thrilling journey through driving big-room basslines, soaring synths, and jacking kickdrums. As the press release for their Spirit Mirror release beautifully states:

NOW CLOSE YOUR EYES, PAUSE QUIETLY, FOR A FEW MOMENTS, AND BE HERE NOW. ATTUNE YOURSELF WITH YOURSELF AND THE UNIVERSE AND, SO, WITH ALL OF US. IF YOU ARE MOVED BY THE SPIRIT, THANK YOU FOR SHARING THE SPIRIT WITH US.

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.
