Chalkboard Mix Series

Genie

The boss of Orbit and one of the greatest ladies we know puts together two hours of humble records for a smile on that winter frown.  Neo Soul, R&B, Jazz and even Tina Arena. Love you mate, thanks for amazing mix…

Rochford Mix 006 _ Genie

Test subject 1.23 @genie4 plunges into a jagged fever dream where uncommon threads knit together warped, incomprehensible memories that feel like you're experiencing someone elses déjà vu. Sweat drips, the heart races, and the fever burns while the mind tumbles further down into angst-driven delirium. Let this one run its course and ride out the mania...

"This image is mega scary but cute... Lately I have been listening to a lot of Sicara Sound, Nat James, Ehua and GiGi FM! I wanted to try djing different genres I wouldn’t usually play, I think because the image is mysterious and you look at it for a while and find things that weren’t in it before. I feel like there is a background to the image that you can’t really grasp, that’s what I’m trying to show in the music , extreme angst and darkness with a bit of fruity fresh fun. Also I did this after getting my COVID vax so best enjoyed when u have if you have some kind of fever."

Manifestation // Genie

Wherever https://soundcloud.com/genie4 goes, behind her is a trail of mischievous and knowing art. 

One of her many talents is her deep commitment to weaving supportive and nourishing space for other artists. She's one of the brains behind Ngunnawal/Ngambri's beloved sideway and runs the long-standing https://soundcloud.com/orbit0o0 mix and party series renowned for its eclectic taste, creative set design and carefully considered lineups. Some of my best nights of dancing have come under her thoughtful guidance :)

Aside from her behind the scenes work, she's a supremely creative dj and producer always in the know; toeing the line between sharper electronic sounds and more soulful, human selections. Recently, she's been playing live, so someone please book her in!!

She has so kindly put together a mix for the series, which captures her knack for keeping things fresh. As glitched out, textural and tense as it is warm and fluttering as it is emo as it is club ready, genie paints on a real-world pop canvas, alluding to all states of mind. 

Genie's tongue-in-cheek style is never insincere but reminds us to not be too serious (something I suck at - ie this write up)

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. Love Angus and August

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.

After a long hiatus, genie_beanie_in_the_washing_machiney@hotmail.com aka genie is back. She has been frolicking the deep blue seas, and looking for the yummiest music there is to find. 

This mix includes some slow wubs & doofs to grind off the mid week blues. Mostly just a play& pause situation of some heaters I’ve been listening to recently 🌷
