Simultaneously one of the most low key, but also one of the sickest DJs in Naarm, I'm so happy to have Nic / nmez ( @incmac ) as part of the Animix series.

Having been involved in organising some of Melbourne's most iconic raves over the last few years, Nic is an integral member of the community. His collection of deep, dub & bassy tunes never fails to impress me. For his Animix is an hour of sexy deep jungle/ dub-steppy heaven ---- a perfect soundtrack to your mini Melbourne lockdown, or hopefully for a sunny spring day if you're listening from the northern hemisphere :-) 

Thanks again for this one Nic! Very happy to be sharing your talent with the Animalia community

Lots of love <3

DJ and promoter I-sha discovered her love for DJing whilst living in Brighton. Through landing residencies at one of the city's foremost clubs, Patterns and label and party series Accidental Meetings, she's sharpened her skills and her ear for crisp club variations and bass-heavy experiments.

As well as cruising the airwaves on 1BTN each month, where she's hosted guests like TSVI, Iceboy Violet and ex.sses, she's also made guest appearances on stations across the UK, from NTS to Noods and Balamii alongside hosts like Martha and LCY.

Her latest venture, The Secret Shade, is shaped by her musical tastes and her experience as a club resident. Announced recently, the project will revolve around a series of special club nights with her favourite artists, the first of which took place on Halloween with Batu and Shannen SP.

She takes care of this week's Shine A Light On mix with a shapeshifting selection of tunes that move across sounds, styles and tempos...

Written and produced in a country house surrounded only by vast, empty landscapes and an endless sky, ‘Suicide Disco’ is the fruit of a 3-year long collaboration and Years of Denial’s debut LP for Veyl.
Urged to escape from crowded cities and information overload, the duo sharpened their sound and working process through isolation and introspection, crafting 11 songs filled to brim with enormous hooks, New Wave nostalgia and razor-sharp production details.
Barkosina’s voice echoes and oscillates against Jerome’s snares, profound and wounded at once. Her expressionist narrative take us to unknown yet familiar places, amplified by dub delays and otherworldly reverbs. Each track tells a story based on the intensity of relationships, a touching and distorted invitation into intimacy and complicity.
