Chalkboard Mix Series

Emmie (Ngunnawal/Canberra, Australia)

Emmie, based in Ngunnawal, has been one of Canberra’s most flourishing selectors over the past two years. Emmie’s ability to mix and match more experimental, mind-bending and sinister prog, tek, electro, and dnb has landed Emmie as a regular at “sideway” - Canberra’s very own nightclub with international recognition for their quality acts, sound and culture. Emmie’s technical prowess and feminine touch has been sought after by organisers and audiences. This has landed Emmie on bills with some of the most prominent names in providing underground sounds, including: Higher Intelligence Agency, Helena Hauff, Woody 92, Sleep D, Object Blue, TSVI and Roza Terenzi. Enjoy the next hour that Emmie has curated for Chalkboard TT, consisting of a blend of deep, swampy, futuristically padded and progressive tunes. An uncomfortably comforting journey of deconstructed grooves.

2SB (Manchester, United Kingdom)

Dive into the sonic world of 2SB, where syco and b.lo join forces to deliver a mesmerising blend of electro and bass. They have quickly established themselves for having seamless synchronicity on stage and creating an atmosphere that reflects the strong connection they share. 2SB have been making waves in Manchester’s profound music scene in the last year having played some of their favourite community spaces such as The Old Abbey Taphouse, DBA, Stage & Radio and Partisan. Sharing these stages with notable artists such as Blumitsu, Papa Nugs, J.Wax, Aloka, and Roska - 2SB are rapidly gaining recognition for performances that push the boundaries of musical exploration. They invite you aboard their musical vessel as they embark on an hour long mix navigating currents of beats and bass that promise to make your auditory voyage unforgettable! 

We had the pleasure of meeting Syd and Beth this year whilst travelling through the UK. Their energy, chemistry and approach to music inspired us both. We feel like it’d be a special inclusion for the debut month.

Chalkboard TT #002 -2SB (MCR)

Peachlyfe is a hydra-sonic electronic musician thats hook & seduced the Copenhagen fast-paced techno scene, claiming their seat along with the Fast Forward Agency. Peachlyfe’s productions and live sets rebelliously weave across genres, trippy melodies cut with heavy slaps while slithering whispers in your ears owing the dismantlement of the ‘cistem’. Their previous EPs “All Tits are Real, All Money is Fake, All Hail Satan”, “Swamplyfe”, and “Against All Reason” are odes to that anarchic playfulness, a marvellous feat in blending rave-rush joy and queer defiance.Their recent EP “Boī\_(ツ)_/ ̄” serves equal parts juicy techno and epic trance with that Peachlyfe trademark:The shenanigans are continuously brought to yet another level. 

This Chalkboard TT mix is a live recording from Petra’s set when we had the pleasure to host them at “sideways” earlier this year (02.09.2023). It was a treat to be able to show Petra our little city and it has been special to have stayed connected since. Enjoy this 70 minutes of uniformed hard hitting kicks from one of the driving forces in today’s techno scene!

We’ve opened for some well known DJs like Klon Dump, Willem and Kaysteng, as well as supporting our mates Luca, gollings, and joe negrine. We present to you 60 minutes of our favourite tracks.

Chalkboard TT #003 - Quant & Qualia

Isaac (d.hyun), co-owner of Turning Tables, founded the collective during lockdown 2021. Turning Tables had its origin in Soundcloud Radio and showcased Nugunnawal’s (Canberra’s) DJs at house parties. When restrictions eased, floor-bending kitchen sets turned into club nights and parties in the paddock. Isaac has a preposterous love for tunes, with a mania for deep meditative groove. This hour Isaac has curated for Chalkboard displays his devotion to modern jungle, techno-infused drum and bass and IDM. Isaac has showcased the darker side of his collections with tracks that are heavier to digest but full of meaning. A selection that has intertwined dub-infused basslines and soulful percussion with futuristically digital and spacey techno and IDM elements. This mix pays homage to the foundations and the past whilst maintaining a forward-thinking perception towards jungle/DnB. A journey through percussive broken beats, experimental techno-dub, dark breaks and bouncy jungle - meditation.

Marcus Woodruff
squish is an amorphous rhizome currently residing in Seoul, South Korea. Ever since a brief yet formative dwelling in the coastal town of St Andrews, Scotland, she has found her primordial tendrils eternally entranced by the sonic ticklings of heavy bass and percussion. Having graduated from running post apocalyptic subterranean parties in basement pubs and grain silos, their monthly residency on @hkcr_online and appearances on @ehfm_live and @radioflouka have cemented a fervid, consuming attachment to all things drummy and dubby. 

A recent debut at @cakeshopseoul and some reflections on the nascent potential of Temporary Automomous Zones have inspired this mix which begins with some venomous jungle and ends on a healthy punch of dubstep, grime and UK bass.

E3P @ Absorbed III

Ran weaves so many melodies, textures, and soft drums in this inimitably beautiful, smart, and jazzy mixtape that brings me to a contemplative state, one where I am holding the energy of those diasporic Coreans in my community, and around the world, who I am connected to through the gift of this mixtape series, and beyond, through our shared ancestral histories of being Corean at all. Within that energy glows the rhythmic echo of oneness with all colonized people today and from all time.

With this edition of the saekdong cover typical of Diasporic Corean Mixtapes, I wanted to bring in the colorway of the Palestinian flag, as well as the net texture present in the keffiyeh, intermingling with the motif of the Korean Unification flag. 

To me, this symbolizes the many parallels between Palestine and Korea, particularly the postwar north of Korea today known as the DPRK. It was the same year of 1948 in which Korea was split into two by the US Military, that on the other side of the globe, Palestine was being pillaged and carved up as well. As in Korea, where today families including those of my paternal grandfather remain separated by an arbitrary militarized border, so too do Palestinians remain exiles from their own villages, farms, cities, ancestral homelands. 

Throughout the 1960s, the leadership of north Korea maintained correspondence with the Palestinian resistance, and even shared military strategies and traded arms. And today, north Korea continues to be maligned, its government borne of anti-colonial resistance labeled as "rogue" by the imperial powers, as much as Palestinian resistance movements are labeled terrorists. All the while, north Korea has suffered from inhumane US embargoes that block essential medicine and agricultural resources that have killed thousands of people, contemporaneously with Israeli embargoes on Gaza that deprive children of basic human necessities like water and flour.

So despite the controversial nature of the Korean Unification flag, which is representative of a persecuted political ideology in south Korea, where pro-reunification activists are frequently harassed and incarcerated under the anti-communist National Security Law, it grounds me. The blue One Korea nestled inside the keffiyeh reminds me of not my roots as a Corean person on that tiny peninsula we call our ancestral home, whether we are from the north, the south, or in the diaspora, but also of our solidarity and connectedness to all colonized people who struggle and resist everywhere.

As we yearn to see a Corea that is one, so we envision a free Palestine from the river to the sea.

Ran Park is a home-taught pianist, self-taught composer, and an ever-evolving experimentalist. Joyful contradictions run throughout her music, from romantic and impressionist classical to free jazz, gospel, Korean folk, and notions of pop. 

With all this unhinged curiosity as her energy source, Ran’s mission is to say ‘yes’ to the child in us; yes to embodying fuller expressions of the many identities we carry. Doing so, she argues, is a necessary step towards generational and collective healing. 

Tracklist:

Sangyoungsan, Park Chi-wan  // Leaving (unreleased), Ran Park
In the Presence and Absence of Each Other, Pt. 1, Claus Ogerman & Michael Brecker
운우화락 다스름, Daejeon Pansori Hitting Method Protective Institution // My Olive Tree, El-Funoun Palestinian Popular Dance Troupe

For our 30th instalment we have a very special submission via Milano. 

Balleremo & Cura Festival resident, Ortensio brings us an extended mix testing the limits of 'dance music' - a beautifully introspective blend of slow jams, percussive textures, moments of serenity contrasted with moments of total chaos and more dub infused and bass heavy sounds.

Super beautiful, thank you Ortensio <3

For this mix I wanted to try and build a blend some of the outcome of my researches towards the different shades and forms of danceable music I personally enjoy the most, possibly limiting as much as possible the usage of music conceived and created specifically for the contemporary dance floors and sound systems, and trying to dig deeper into different dimensions of regular and non-regular rhythms, music jams and head-moving sonic creations from all over the world, mostly focusing on the mediterranean macro area and more.

My past, when I was living in Berlin and DJing more regularly in clubs, has helped me shape my technical skills. Milano instead has helped me breaking my limits, getting out of my comfort zone and destroying a lot of the patterns that, as a DJ and Music Maker, were locking me down in a box. There’s a lot of oxygen, curiosity and creativity nowadays in my everyday life.

Definitely one of the kinetic events. I prefer small DIY events over infamous and hyper-celebrated social gatherings. The only thing I care the most about lately is the sound system.

Can’t avoid trying to bring some attention to our beloved creature, @balleremo-04-14. Also, there’s a few, but definitely @ormeye and DNN’s LOBO, Dubwise, Buka and Evolvere are some of my favorites. But I’m sure I’m forgetting some.

𝐚 𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐃𝐉 / 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐞𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮’𝐝 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐢𝐠 𝐮𝐩?
