Introducing Brittany De Marco!

Having grown up heavily influenced by the likes of The Prodigy and Daft Punk, Brittany De Marco developed a fascination for a vast variety of electronic music, this fostered her desire to transition to DJing in nightclubs.
Doing so has lead Brittany to dedicate the last half-decade playing every weekend. Starting at former nightclub Mr. Wolf, Brittany became widely known for making her mark as one of the longest-standing residents within the venue.
Bouncing back from restrictions with the anticipated return of Canberra’s nightlife, Brittany can be found at her newly attained residency at Fiction Nightclub where she is known for educating her crowd by mixing a diverse spectrum of something unknown, something familiar and something that leaves you wanting more.
Her reputable tenure in Canberra earned her a spot playing at Groovin The Moo (2019) and Spilt Milk (2018 & 2019).
Brittany’s passion for DJing is pronounced and moves far beyond the scope of simply mixing, with her presence and energy creating an atmosphere anyone can connect.

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. 

Tune in. From the other side of the world we welcome 2SB to the chalkboard mix series.

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!

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.

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.

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 🌷

Now Eora based, the semi-retired DJ returns for a rare mix for Chalkboard that has been described by some as “proggy, swampy, trancy goodness” and described by his own mother as “harsh to the ears”. Listen to find out which school of thought you belong to.

 المستقبل - the future 


I imagine the future through dancing, through music. It is where I sit happiest, and with hope. In my opinion, our interconnectedness is visible through these two forms of communication. Listening can take us to a place we aren’t a part of yet, help us imagine what we have not yet experienced. As Djs we are often playing with time, and I think that is a powerful thing. I had the future on my mind when bringing these selections together. 


This mix is to also highlight all the talent coming out of the local Moroccan/Amazigh electronic scene, as well as a tribute to my roots. After playing in Marrakech last month, I finally got to connect with a community outside of my family, and one closer to the community I have formed here in the diaspora. 


I am grateful to have been shared ANZAR by Moroccan Electronic/Amazigh music label Hss (thank you Imane!) ahead of its release for the recording of this mix. Please find the album here and support their beautiful project.  https://hsshss.bandcamp.com/album/anzar-by-yassine-watcha-iaaeeouaoaii

I recorded it on a warm Tuesday night in Dylan’s set up (thank you Dylan) except I swapped out a turntable for an XDJ. In retrospect it was a bit stupid to record a mix on an alien set up knowing that it would be on Soundcloud forever (or until it has to shut down) but it was a fun challenge. I also had an idea to mix more ambient/downtempo tracks which are a bit more reflective and require less ‘mixing’. I have had lots of time to reflect this year and have had lots of space to myself for better or worse and lots of these songs kind of match this although I did get a bit jumpy and played more rhythmic tracks about half way through. There are tracks from artists I like as well as tracks from artists I do not like. There is audio clippings from birds I also like and also some searing political, sporting, economic and philosophical commentary. There is good mixing, bad mixing and just straight up blunders (sorry to the strokers out there) but I hope you can just press play and let this mix fill up your background as you do more important things. Thanks again for letting me contribute to such a G series, you guys rock (metallica emoji).
