Eora(Sydney) based producer @mondowun blessing us with a dynamic and fresh selection of driving dance-floor cuts for the 2nd installment of Tour Guides.

Ever since we heard his Bushfire Relief EP on Soul Spill Records, we've been so excited for him to contribute to this mix series, and he certainly provided.

Thank you Laurence <3

Tour Guide #02 ~ Mondowun

With the abundance of local talent within Sydneys local dance scene, it can be difficult to provide the platform these artists truly deserve. Luckily, for you and for us, we have the opportunity to introduce Eora based producer/DJ Laurence Viegas aka Mondowun (@mondo1music).

He is one of the gears behind the operations of Soul Spill Records, established in 2017. They have a wide range of releases which aim to provide a menu of atmospheric electronic beats which are akin to jungle, breakbeat, acid and techno elements.

This mix was recorded over the Christmas/New years break ‘21/22, which was unfortunately when Laurence was stuck in home isolation. With the number of cases within Sydney soaring daily, Laurence had a vision of creating a soundtrack that would help him mentally escape the 4 walls of his room, but also provide the playlist for Sydneysiders as they set off on their road trips out of the city. This mix provides us with the hypnotic rhythms which reminds us of the Australian bushland, sending the listener into a trance, all of which are represented in the sound of Mondowun’s production.

Mondowun’s latest release is a self release under the new alias ‘ Hiworld’, which is duo collab with @toaka_dj. Be sure to keep eye out for Mondowun as he is sitting on a stack of unreleased tunes.

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 been fortunate enough to play at some really sick events, such as badger dens sessions, bush doofs and even our own sideway gig. 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.
