We venture back into the void for COMPLEXA Volume 11, searching once more for the gathering of energies in the dark. We are gaining on her and it is good. Others have also. Many, many others.

The incredible density of the combined beings within has forced gravity’s hand, we are engulfed within as we pass the threshold, experiencing the most sublime time dilation. The combined effect felt from our unique traveller perspective is equivalent to approximately 40 years… in just under 4.5 hrs…

@perseus-traxx delivers an outstanding edition for the COMPLEXA series. Taking on early 80’s influences and seamlessly guiding and morphing the music into an undeniable and exhilarating House and Techno ride. His stamp on the selections and creativity in the mix are exactly what those who have come to know him by over the years love and respect.

A few words from our guest:
"I’m still making music with bits of hardware, releasing under aliases and also a recent limited 10” lathe cut run comprising of an early 90’s Techno feel, along with various tracks that were mastered by Labels but never got released."

COMPLEXA Mix Series: Volume 11 | Perseus Traxx

Next up in the series, York based party starter, @indigo30303 boss man SYD takes the reigns, delivering a beautifully crafted hour and 20 minutes of house, techno and of course those 303 sounds for our audio delight.

Millions of light years away, two separate, unidentified forms travel the cosmos, both in quest of rapture, although it’s concept not yet known. Little did they know that their quests would not only find their desire, but create it’s very existence. 

In a spectacle of illustrious colour, sound and light that can be seen and heard by neighbouring planets, the two forms collide, leaving a brand new form in their wake.

When the space debris clears, the rapture left behind becomes apparent. Those who have traveled to this new form know it as only one thing. The COMPLEXA.

Buckle in and enjoy the ride. 🚀

COMPLEXA Mix Series: Volume 12 | Syd

As the COMPLEXA cools after the last period of intensity, her energies are resonating out into the cosmos once again. Waves, pulses, light.

This is a process that has been repeated in what we would perceive or attempt to describe as 'immeasurable', given our current frame of reference. Our future learning will show the futility in attempting to measure anything of this nature at all. There is no beginning or end.

To an observer we see the COMPLEXA appear to flicker and blink, shudder even, then she is gone. We ourselves haven't really left, we too are simply in a form of regeneration, cooling, waiting...

Sure enough and in fair time, a resonance from a previous period intercepts another, it is the way of things and will always happen. Interference, broken orbits, gravity and just plain fate. They pass just close enough to pair, then pass another, then more, then more still. 

We realise we must set out on a long journey, soon it will be time to begin the cycle once more.

Vol. 13 of our infinitely expanding series comes from Kitchens inc. who are very close to our hearts. The DJ & Producer duo and brothers are currently living in Yorkshire. The guys have had a bit of time out from releasing any new material , but have quietly been building up a catalogue of unreleased tracks and refining their production style. This year will see the launch of their own label for a series of conceptual projects they have been working on and also a release coming soon to the new Hideous Things imprint too. 

Some words about the mix: 
"Massive thanks for inviting us to put the mix together, it was really great to get on the decks with some intent and have some fun in what seems like an eternity of lockdown life. We started out with some deep and more chilled housey bits and then dotted about between breaks, house and some techy tracks too."

First up in the mix series we have joint head honcho and resident @Synthia_303.

This extended 2 hour blend of beautifully crafted house and techno takes us through the realms of Shangri-la, up to the pearly gates of Eutopia and way way beyond.

All aboard the chug train...

COMPLEXA Mix Series: Volume 1 | Synthia

The second volume of our mix series comes from York based party starters and connoisseurs of all things house, Bad Chapel.

On the very boundary of the COMPLEXA, our traveller begins. Observing its beauty and elegance, she is enthralled. Inevitably, the gravity takes hold and she is pulled inward - and onward...

Volume 4 of the Complexa series is courtesy of Roya Brehl. Roya is well known over in Leeds for The Off Licence  parties which had great outings at Blueberry Hill Studios, Eiger studios and were lined up for a special set  with legend Bill  Brewster at 212. She has joined our own Upside Your Mind down in Yorks' Sotano basement numerous times and also runs the Imaginarium in Leeds plus the Hideous Things and Shso projects. 
This edition is a shifting and evolving ride into one of the Complexa's deeper energies, here we find ourselves holding on as Roya expertly guides us down to feel its embrace.

Next up in the mix series, Newcastle based Shi Bui head honcho @bencaldwell-dj takes the reins, alluring us on an elevated ride through the realms of the Complexa and way way beyond.

As well as his DJing ability, Ben's production skills are equally as captivating. With releases on Me Me Me under his belt, one of our favourite labels, his inclusion in the mix series was a no brainer.

Alex along with Haus Social became a regular fixture under the cobbled streets of Little Stonegate in the Sotano basement before the initial lockdown back in March and it's clear to see why. Sit back, relax and enjoy the ride🌌

COMPLEXA Mix Series: Volume 8 |  Upside Your Mind

Next to step into the COMPLEXA is Manchester based aficionado of audio, and co-founder of the FSP mix series, finno. 

These breaky, spacey pulsations leave you elevating. Ascending sky high in pursuit of the stars. The sonic boom sounds like a distant memory as we travel further and deeper into the oblivion. Percussion, melody and the bliss of complete abandon encaptures our bodies, our minds and our souls. This must be what the COMPLEXA feels like... 

Throw this on and prepare to be drifted away from the comfort of your living room and thrust onto the golden dance floor of Utopia.

COMPLEXA Mix Series: Volume 9 | finno

Next to make their way into The COMPLEXA is the extremely talented JR Hartley. James is an Ibiza based electronic music artist, broadcaster and record label owner. He cut his teeth in the north of England writing music and DJing for fun, then in the early 00s he and a friend decided to form a music act and have been releasing music and DJing around the world since.

As we commence this electronic interstellar journey across the zippy planes of the Milky Way, a landmark comes into view. We're getting faster now, fleeting towards her at the speed of light. Her gravitational pull brings us closer, spinning at breakneck speeds. Singularity. Darkness. Upon opening our eyes we're enraptured. This place is different. "We've entered The Complexa".

Now based in Ibiza James has created his JR Hartley solo alias to explore all facets of his musical tastes ands become more involved with the local music community. You can hear him with his regular show Time & Space on Openlab FM, on The JR Hartley Podcast available on Acast as well as live sets in some of Ibiza's smaller, more underground venues such as Malanga and Las Dalias, playing to his friends, the locals and the more curious visitors.        

In this mix for The Complexa JR has delved into lots of different styles, genres and bpms, the only boundaries being all the music has a distinctly electronic flavour.
