Vlada at Floresta - Waking Life '23

The messengers of equinox merging in a celestial dance. @dau_ra @yurijdt

SpeLL: DAURA & YURI

A real pleasure to host one of my favourite djs in the Animix series, the ever-charming and immensely talented @playvlada, with her distinctly recognisable signature sound.

With a style deep, but somehow oozing with equal parts crunch and groove, Vlada is a master of blending her wide and eclectic old-school record collection into undulating journeys of bassy, hypnotic grooves, telling of her longstanding passion to the craft. 

The Russian born, but Berlin based mainstay balances touring with running mix series/party collective speLL in Berlin & beyond, with @vaahzer. One of my favourite parties in town :) 

Thanks again for the mix Vlada <33

We enter 2025 with a fresh mix from Galo, a Berlin-based selector with a record bag which seemingly never fails to deliver. 

We met whilst sharing a bill at the legendary sub:system party in London and alongside playing around Europe, he’s put out a string of amazing online mixes - always featuring progressive gems and psy wobblers. It’s a huge pleasure to welcome Galo to the pod :) 

Enjoy!

Our next mix is gifted to us by an artist from Helsinki and now based in Paris, the lovely Jeku. Recorded a few months ago in the sit down room at Grey Area in Taipei, this set explores the ambient and downtempo side of Jeku's collection - a special three hour meditation made to get lost in. Thank you for this beautiful mix, Jesse <3

DJ Spirit [@xxdeejayspiritxx] is the co-founder of Praxis and has been active in the Montreal underground scene since 2017.  Here are few words about the mix...

This hour-long mix was inspired by some recent mixes I’ve been listening to over the last few months. Really into some recordings from the 2000s that are 116bpm-ish early morning sunrise energy, and this has a bit of that essence (A good mix to check out is the Troy Pierce Mix on Dance Shake Swing from Sept 2008, it's on Soundcloud). I decided to rev it up in the latter half but I still think it remains “deep” and keeps rolling along…which is my favourite energy to dance to. Hope you enjoy!

While the darkness conveyed in her DJ sets and productions is usually ever-present, Leese's track ‘Howl’ touches a quieter, more emotional register. It is the perfect opener to Constrict Music's upcoming Unfolding vol. 1 LP, setting a slow pace, a calm tone and keeping the listener’s curiosity alive for seven minutes which is a refreshing take on today’s often short and attention-grabbing music.
