Kia @ The Lot Radio 05-25-2023

For the inaugural edition of the Nina Label Mix series, we invited @kia-sydney to kick it off with a mix of material from her labels @animalia-label and @cirruslabel. A purveyor of trippy, psychedelic sounds, the Naarm/Melbourne and Berlin-based selector recorded the mix live at Nina HQ while in NYC to play the Nowadays Nonstop party in May 2023.

Nina Label Mix 001: Animalia

The past decade has seen Andy Garvey become a leading presence within the Australian music landscape. As a producer, esteemed radio host, label boss of her own @purespacefm imprint, and co-founder of the NECTAR events collective, Andy’s passionate dedication to her home scene is abundantly clear.

Having recently relocated to Berlin, she is now able to bring her home-grown passion and a strong inclination towards all things trippy, vibrant and percussive to new shores, with a host of appearances scheduled across Europe over the summer.

Andy's Patterns of Perception 114 is wide-ranging but also deeply transportive, with a rare fluidity at its core. Inspired by a disparate string of gigs that she played before leaving Australia (a warehouse party, a bush doof and a sunrise set), this mix sets out to capture the unique energy and vibrancy of Australian dance floors - and the sounds that currently move them.
Round, rolling grooves flow and undulate, connecting far-flung soundscapes. Exotic, hallucinogenic atmospheres swirl in capacious fullness. An arresting and distinctly Antipodean balance of hedonistic frenzy and sleek composure.

Patterns of Perception 114 - Andy Garvey

Cousin ~  7/7/2023

Musical trends are nothing more than waves that rise and fall according to fashions, desires and inspirations.
The current trend towards progressive house, mental techno and goa trance, for example, is merely a recuperation of initiatives launched in the 90s. Yet we're improving the sound, making it more modern and reappropriating it to suit our generation.

The two artists featured on this latest issue of tdt are all in love with paying tribute to those famous years, and they do it particularly well. They are the very reason why we continue to look to the past to produce a present that strives to do better.

Both club-oriented and at the same time introspective and intimate, the worlds of Pjenne and Jolly encourage exploration, and that's exactly what we're interested in here!

The 8th Virtual Utopia is a 100-minute extract from the sonically expansive mind of @nicolasure of @southernexposurerecords. An in-depth audio-presentation of various snippets of existence, an eclectic mixture of conversations from the past, present and future. Here will we explore visions of distant civilisations and cultures, and delve into abstract worlds with imperceivable communication. This is a space for deep and thorough sine-wave inspection.

Weightlessly glide over vast sand dunes and feel the air glide over your shoulders like warm silk. As you pass over distant mountain ranges the scenery changes dramatically. Glades of luscious beauty which calm you instantly, as the grass sways slowly like liquid beneath you. Glistening waters ripple underneath reflecting endless sparks from the sun, and as you pass through a cloud of fog, the other end reveals misty caverns of desolate planets where life dried out many moons ago.

This program summarises the vast variety of existence, here you will examine the spectrum of 'being' through a broad selection of sonic expression. Existence is an array of fractal probability and this mix illustrates that perfectly. Plug in and explore the ideology that we are 'one' but within that we are all completely unique.

Local Eora/ Sydney talent Charley Fester aka Command D (@commandd) for number #141. Having only been producing music for a couple of years, Charley burst onto the scene with an inspiring ray of enthusiasm, skill & output, with releases on outputs @purespacefm, @companionmelb & @minimal_collective.

The talented producer & dj has quickly marked his signature sound, dubby & smooth as silk, oozing a specific warmth and groove which listeners can quickly recognise as Command D. Keep an eye out for a forthcoming release by Charley out on Animalia, due out very soon :) He's also working on a debut live set which he'll showcase over the Australian summer. 

Thanks for the mix Charley!
