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.

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!

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.

Tsotsi (Ngunnawal/Canberra, Australia)

Sharing music is a wonderful thing. It's a powerful language that's at once very clear and ambiguous (I spend a lot of time reading people's Spotify playlists). My favourite part of selecting, then, is when you arrive at the point of being overwhelmed by the music. That's when the party begins. 

This mix features house tracks that make me really wanna dance. I think about house a lot. The heritage, the groove, the people. My friends who are learning house dance with me were on my mind when I was putting this together.

I met Francesco (DJ Rou) on Via Altabella, Bologna, when I stumbled upon his record shop, L’Archivio 180. After observing a few records I had dug out, I was suddenly bombarded with recommendations. It was probably the most refreshing evening I had during my travels up until that point. Little did I know Francesco was one of the driving pillars in Bologna’s underground scene. Besides running his shop, DJ Rou is a producer, DJ, and coordinates the house/electro nights in the city. His dedication to tune hunting has given Francesco the skill and connections to have record bags full of tools, rare weapons, and single/forthcoming wax presses. This has made his selections sought after by promoters in clubs and festivals around Europe.
Francesco’s love and passion for music, his events, his store, and his city have inspired me. I am very excited for this first all-vinyl set on Chalkboard with DJ Rou. We are very lucky to get an hour of clubby wonky groovers recorded back in December at a private party in Bologna.

Muna (Ngunnawal, Australia

Since hearing it at my first doof, electronic music has had a chokehold on me I can’t shake. I started DJing to find a way to create that same feeling, and instead have discovered so many new genres that I now love merging together even if it sounds goofy. Music is a developing art to me where nothing can go wrong; it either makes me move or not. All I hope is to make you move, even if you laugh too.
