Hell yea, tää klassikko ei tuu kuoleen koskaan ❤️‍🔥

Streetstyle = Pellossa hiekkatietyyli. Ensinnäkin haluan esittää pahoitteluni siitä, etten saanut mahdutettua kylämme kiekkoseuraa tähän raitaan. Anteeksi Pellon Kiekko ja myönnän todellakin, että pohjonen hoki olisi tuonne sekaan kuulunut. Runoilijan lahjat eivät siihen tällä kertaa kuitenkaan riittäneet.
Tätä tehdessä oli vähän sellainen vitsi ilmoilla, että eipä sen tarvi niin kummonen relli olla kun kuuntelijoitakaan ei ole kovin montaa kunnassa jäljellä. Vitsihän se tietysti oli ja piti ainakin yrittää parhaansa jos ei muuta. 
Tiukimmille vanhemmille vielä pahoittelut muutamasta kirosanasta mitä tämä tuotos sisältää. Sille vain ei voi mitään se on sitä räppiä.

Dishing up an extended all-spice-mix from local hot saucier @lava-brain. Prepare for some genuine mind realignment with 3.5 hours of mesmerisingly deep heat!

Q. Hey Eric, what inspiration did you draw upon when putting this mix together? Is there a sound, feeling, or time in dance music history that connects all the different elements in one way or another?

A. Thanks for having me! I don’t know if there was a conscious thought so much, but lots of music to either get you in a meditative mood or moving depending on how you’re feeling. I guess there are definitely a lot of elements from the 90s Bristol scene threaded through the mix in one way or another. That trip hop/down tempo sound was really a big gateway into a lot of electronic music for me and it’s what I was listening to a lot of when I first started DJing. ‘Bass is Maternal’ by Smith & Mighty was a really big record for me; bringing together a lot of trip hop, dub, bass, breakbeat and jungle sounds, which feature in a lot of tracks in the mix.    

Q. Are there any records in the mix that are especially close to your heart?

Definitely! There’s a mix of some older favs like 'Transient' by Mr G, 'Tokyo Dawn' by Doc Scott & a Smith & Mighty tune. 'The Edgelands' by Rings Around Saturn has definitely had its fair share of listens over the years for me too. There's also a bunch of newer tracks, lots of local favourites & just music that inspires me. 
One tune which I hold especially close would have to be Delano Smith’s ‘The Rock’. I remember hearing it for the first time and I still find it hard not to get hypnotised by it. The vocal sample about universal unity is also pretty groovy :)

Q. Tell us what’s the latest with the visual aspect of your Lava Brain project? How would you describe your approach?

A. It’s been really great to get more opportunities to work on the live visuals & projection mapping part of my practice recently and to focus on it 100% at a party. 

In terms of my approach to integrating the two, with every event there are so many different elements that need to work together to make it a success. I think it's really about creating an awesome experience, working together with the music and space to compliment each other and help curate a mood. Working with different collectives or venues is always interesting, as all the elements change including the physical space and I enjoy the design process; usually starting with the logical side of the ‘how’ will this technically work and then the ‘what’ in terms of creative content. 

I guess I try to tap into my own feelings when designing an install or content and ask myself something like ‘How would this make me feel in the context of the party, music and space and what’s the intention we as a collective are trying to curate?’ I’m also starting to expand my setup, experimenting with mapping a small wireless midi controller to be able to still be able to control the visuals while being away from the laptop and part of the party, letting me further tap into those intuitive feelings. 

Currently I’m working on a visual instalment for Ferdydurke’s 11th birthday on August 12th and have been working with some new projection materials, experimenting with sheer fabrics to project a succession of images above the dancefloor to give a sort of floating holographic tunnel effect. For the event I’m also working on building a motorised lighting sculpture for the entrance to the venue, which is something new for me. 
In parallel, I’m working on some grant applications and starting to look for sponsorships for a multi-day projection art and music series I’m working on, in collaboration with the Section 8 crew. With all going to plan, that should be happening mid-next year. 
Other than that, continuing to learn, play and experiment, currently I’m starting to teach myself Touch Designer to expand that side of my creative practice and just always staying open to new projects and collaborations :)

2023 and 2024 saw Softi aka @jazz_brown popping up everywhere - and well deserved. The quickly emerging London based dj & producer has a knack for bubbling, dubby, smooth & hypnotic groove. As the name suggests, always presented in a soft but effective manner.

A mix reminiscent of the change of seasons, icy breaks shrouded in warm dubs.. moody sounds & summer nostalgia waft through this easy-flowing, chuggy, cosy mix from the @cozi-716789961 boss herself. 

Thanks for the mix Jazz! <3

The third offering in our mix series is a live recording of Priori and Cousin's dj set at Sustain Release 2024. Recorded on the last morning between 6am and 1pm on what was meant to be an ambient stage, it featured everything a 3 day festival closing set should. Eclectic picks, strange and emotional sounds, dubious transitions and a few feigned endings. Massive thanks to all the dancers, the Sustain staff (Aurora, Ash and everybody else who put their blood, sweat and tears into this), the music makers, the birds, the stars. 

Much love,

P & C

naffcast003 ⦾ Cousin & Priori ༻ Sustain Release 2024 Bossa Nova Stage closing set ༺ ❁

Welcoming the lovely Refuge Worldwide co-founder and dub-master @richard-akingbehin to the Animix series this week, with a beautiful journey of minimal house infused with his signature dub styles.

Clear in his DJ'ing, but also his work with @refugeworldwide, and his immaculately curated label, @kynant-records, Richard is an all-round classy selector, and a champion of community. Through his various outputs, his deep & considered knowledge and taste shines. 

Richard always impresses me with the diversity of moods he presents via his DJ'ing, hybrid collaborations with legend Tikiman, b2bs with other legends like livwutang, and his label - a diversity that's always strung together with his incredibly distinctive psychedelic, soothing dub formula. 

Thanks for the mix Richard <3

Animix One Hundred & Seventy Three: Richard Akingbehin

A member of Harmony Rec. and a man responsible for two releases in the discography of the label. Johannes Morgenstern aka Jamida has been a confidential friend to us since many years ago. Frequent exchange between Prague and Berlin led to harmonization of our musical path, life opinions and souls in general. 

Adding his contribution to the podcast series was thus inevitable accomplishment. In this particular mix, he was not afraid to put on some stompy kicks and broken rhythms. By those plus other fuzzy means, he brings the listener to his compact ritual. 

Valian Kollektiv is a group of artists that was established by him and other like-minded people in Berlin. Together they are throwing parties and publishing music – in the following days, they are releasing a beneficial trilogy EP. The profit from the sales will flow on the account of Mission Lifeline, that helps the people in the refugee camps in Europe in the hard times of the worldwide virus contamination and lack of drinkable water. Stay updated about that. Good music is on the way!
