Amelia Holt at The Swirl, Horst Arts & Music 2025

Presenting the ever-lovely and ever-inspiring @mikemidnight for #175 in the series. The Boorloo/ Perth based artist initially garnered attention through his output of insanely dreamy trip-hop productions... the perfect combination of emotional & uplifting, and immaculately produced. Mike plays live as a solo artist and now makes up 1/3 of the exciting new band Trickpony, made up of Roza Terenzi, Emkay & Mike himself. 

Beyond his knack for weaving tear-jerkingly beautiful trip hop infused songs - Mike is also a great DJ. Here, with a more club-oriented mix, he showcases his taste & talent, a BTS look into the genres & moods that make up the mind of the talented artist.

Very happy to have you in the series Mike! Thanks for the mix <3

Animix One Hundred & Seventy Five: Mike Midnight

Sunday afternoon set at the new rave spot in MTL 

LAGOM set @ FLIP 1 ~ June 1st, 2025

Thrilled to be welcoming NAP aka Daniel Rincón to series, the CDMX based DJ and producer with a unique gift for capturing the wonky, hedonistic feels of the after-hours in his signature extended mix styles. Packed with sleazy twists and turns, there's never a dull moment with NAP at the wheel! Electro-fied highway rollers masterfully sliced and diced for that maximum long haul recharge! @napmusick

Q. What sounds/feelings did you draw upon when gathering inspiration for this mix, and what environments could you imagine it being best enjoyed in?

A. I wanted to make a driving mix that featured a lot of vocals but in mutated and affected ways. Either as a centerpiece of the tune or via chops and sampling, the vocals carry a lot of the tension and thread of the mix which I wanted to balance across a mix of sleazy and dubby sounds. Perfect for a night drive or an afters with some bffs.

Q. Are there any songs in the mix that you were especially excited to share, and what is it about these tracks that resonate with you so much?

A. Blacklight Sleaze (Dyed Soundorom Remix) by Peace Division’. I put it earlier in the mix as it's a bit of a fire starter in getting the mix boiling. This track is also an example of the use of the human voice in a classic but psychedelic/ experimental approach; many voices swirling around atop a sexy driving groove. 

Loose Control by Dino Lenny. Been playing this one a lot and I’d like to make mention to it because it hits a lot of the things that I like when playing a peacetime burner; driving arpeggiated Italo style baselines without being too garish, some dramatic silence drops that make you think the track stopped and then the use of the human voice as a melodic element displaced from language. 

Heart Misses - Heart Misses. This one is definitely in the pocket of  sassy/ minimal sleaze tune which encompasses the vibe of many of the other tracks in the mix as per the concept I had. Perhaps this one is also an evolution of my digging from having been really into electroclash growing up and playing a lot of that stuff across my DJ experience. This hits the reference points of that sound I grew up up with but perhaps actualized? More reduced, minimal but still sexy, driving, irreverent and trippy. 

Q. Tell us about the projects you’ve been most immersed in since moving to Mexico City, I know there’s a few!

A. Oh man, lots of collabs since I've been here! All a by product of new friendships and amazing connections I’ve made while being here. Stuff is still percolating and getting finished but Im very excited to put out new collab projects with Primordial Oh, Reedbriefcase and Tristan Arp; whenever the time is right. On the other hand I’ve also put the finishing touches on a collab project with my friend Pablo Arangoiz who I started jams with when he visited Mexico 4 years ago. Since then we’ve been working on a thesis on a specific type of experimental cumbia forward pieces which we’ve spent a lot of time and care on. 

As far as ACA, Phran and I have a lot of things on the pipeline which will hopefully get some releases this year. It's tough to get a lot of the projects we want to do out when we live in different places but we’re damn excited about all of them and aligning on getting a digi release out from Venezuelan Miniteca legend ‘El Mago. We also got some homie comps cooking up and some sassy merch coming up.

On the Ambien Baby tip, Soph and I have been jamming a lot every time we have the chance to but again, not living in the same place makes it a bit hard to wrap stuff up. Still the past year has yielded a lot of sick fire starter jams that hopefully we can zinch up before the end of the year. We also have a collaborative sound piece we made with our friend Florence Scott-Anderton some years ago for a show she had at the ICA some years ago. This one is a very dear collab for all 3 of us and I hope we can get it out before the end of year as well. Lots of stuff coming up and cooking up!

Dubbed Out - DJ G - 19 Aug 2025

the next mix in the series is pure dubwise profundity coming from @edenaurelius and @milliamusic

Some words from the artists :

“This mix is a live recording taken from Nowadays in April of this year for livwutang’s recidency, where we were invited to open for Deepchord as a part of a dub techno focused event here in New York. 

The three hour mix is the culmination of our shared inspirations - contemporary and classic, and our own interpretations of the genre itself.

We have b2b’ed many times over the past 10 years, and we feel this may be our favorite set so far - we hope you enjoy”

ani/live Seventy Four: Sahara Transport Services @ Butik Festival, Slovenia

French producer MRZ introduces Right Here, a four-track EP that connects the roots of house with today’s underground scene. Across the record he moves between lo-fi textures, classic piano chords, breakbeat rhythms, and acid basslines, building music that is both nostalgic and fresh.

The lead single What You Do (out October 10, 2025) opens with emotional pads and a 303 bassline, supported by soulful vocal samples that set the tone for the project. Break Out (out October 24, 2025) follows with breakbeat momentum and piano stabs that radiate positivity and energy. Don’t Look Back pulls from 90s club euphoria with UK-inspired breaks, uplifting soul vocals, and timeless piano chords. Closing track, Something is a direct tribute to house lovers everywhere, layering dreamy pads, a rolling bassline, and a symbolic spoken vocal.

1. What You Do
2. Break Out
3. Don't Look Back
4. Something

""Soul Wun returns to Gallery with ‘Try Your Wings (To Fly)’, a resonant record encapsulating the last two years of his life. Having spent the majority of his time either writing, conceptualising or consuming music.‘Try Your Wings (To Fly)’ functions as a unified narrative conveying his experience. In the words of the artist himself; 

“‘Try Your Wings’ is in many ways a sonic pastiche, a collage of my experiences spanning relationship collapse, extreme highs and devastating lows all experienced travelling around Australia like a madman. To tie all these things into one sound brings me life. It becomes a call and response symbolic of the duality in my life as it stands. A sombre and nostalgic calling to times past, in many ways bittersweet in reflection - riddled with ecstasy and pain in equal parts.” "
