Maruwa - FM pres. Queer Base Takeover @ Radio 80000 19/11/2022

Zeynep is a diverse selector who likes to dominate the dancefloors with her genre-bending sets. For the Berlin based DJ it’s all about HI-NRG, where she likes to combine different flavours of her eclectic and ravey selection by including elements of breaks with a spice of trance and house influence.

Zeynep @ The Lot Radio 12 - 29 - 2022

With what was mostly a full and fruitful year for us with many beautiful moments, we now turn our eyes forward to what is looking to be a very exciting year for us at Phonica as we walk into our 20th year of being alive. 2022 saw our mix series get even more killer contributions from artists like Paramida, Sally C, Fred P, Eden Burns, Alex Kassian, Erol Alkan and more. 2023's series line up plans to keep moving up and we have opened this years mix season in the capable hands of two of the finest DJ/Producers doing it right now. Bringing nothing but powerful, euphoric and goddess energies it can only be Octo Octa and Eris Drew of T4T Luv NRG. Amazingly celebrated for their strand of psychedelic, rolling progressive, trancey-house and break rhythms we can't think of two better selector's to take on our series. With an excellently curated compilation and mix for our good friends at Fabric last year as well as two banging cassettes on T4T we can't begin to imagine what this year has in-store for Maya and Eris but we have no doubt it's even more on the upward trajectory! Most likely to the heavens and back! We had a chat with Maya and Eris to see what they have been up to lately and little about how they approached the mix.

Phonica Mix Series 103: Octo Octa & Eris Drew

Mix number ~80~ … we’re starting the new year just as we mean to go on with an all mighty mix recorded by none other than DJ TEETH (@djteeth) and TPR (@tpr_dj) from one of our favourite Berlin collectives HYPERSOFT (@hypersoft_bln) 🧡

Throbbing with energy and unshakable radiance straight from the 90’s, there ain’t no denying this mix is the absolute beez kneez . com 🐝 see for yourself, you won’t be disappointed 🌶

The first Patterns of Perception mix of 2023 comes from a luminous presence and dear friend of our collective - label head, mix series curator, promoter and esteemed selector Aaron J (@arn_j).

Over the years, a combination of passion, openness and tireless energy has seen Aaron become a trusted voice for experimental, boundary-pushing electronic music across both the US and the wider scene. 

Founded over eight years ago, Aaron’s much-loved platform @sure_thing is the embodiment of his forward-thinking curation and clarity of vision. Now based in Brooklyn, Sure Thing started as a series of parties in San Francisco before growing outward, later blossoming into a renowned mix series and record label. 

As a DJ, Aaron’s level of empathy and attention-to-detail are unmistakeable, allowing him to deeply connect with the dance floor no matter the context - layering, building and driving emotions ever onwards.

Aaron J's Patterns of Perception 106 is both radiant and personal - an idyllic snapshot of the perfect dance floor, glowing with wide-eyed energy. Pensive darkness simmers into hedonistic psychedelia. Intensity turns reflective. Endless rhythms vibrate and flare into nurturing light.

Patterns of Perception 106 - Aaron J

Fresh batch of unsigned / forthcoming tunes in the mix for your listening pleasure :-)

Abdul Raeva - 200% Unreleased

Butter Sessions is one of those labels that can go absolutely anywhere and still make sense because theres an element that tags it down to the ears of Sleep D aka Maryos Syawish and Corey Kikos. The two label heads behind the absolutely iconic institution straight outta Melbourne, Australia have worked with aritsts like Roza Terenzi, D.Tiffany, Tornado Wallace, Yuzo Iwata and more creating a platform for upcoming and solidly established artists to broaden their sound and explore into the unknown. Like the artists they represent Sleep D as DJ's and producers have touched all sides of the club and eclectic spectrum having dropped many anthem filled 12's(including a very solid LP on Anthony Naples' Incienso) as well as experimental outings on labels like Play On Records. 
For Off The Record #37 Syawish and Kikos have dropped us straight into the elements of the main room. A smoke machine filled warehouse of house, techno, bass and percussive club rolling excursions. Strap yourself in(or don't?). 
We had a quick chat with Sleep D about the mix, the Melbourne scene and Butter Sessions and more!

47 from the Inner Zone Massive

The DJ duo/ production trio have been spinning multiple plates over the last few years, heading up some of the UK's favourite parties including Make Me and Transmissions all the while running the Spacelab label and more recently opening up Inner Zone Records.

Having bumped into the boys a few times over the last year or so we thought we'd ask if they'd give this mix thing a crack on the podblast and they dutifully obliged. Come one come all

Nice Mix 008 – Inner Zone

A live recording of Inner Zone's set at Olive Grove last year during Craigie Knowes takeover. Top-tier progressive house from the Transmissions head-honchos, both of whom have been coming to the festival since it's early years and are very much part of the family.

Inner Zone - Live From Dimensions 23'

Happy new year & gloomy Jan :) with that said we welcome our favorite London based duo, inner zone @inner_zone (Nic & Rupes)for mix 18! 
These two are no strangers to the underground music scene in the UK & beyond. Co founding one of London's most sought out parties & day festivals, Transmissions. Which has organically produced a warm, sophisticated & eclectic energy to our scenes atmosphere, curating promising linup's and some of the best sets we've witnessed. They exceed everything you want from a musical duo with continuous bookings at festival's like Dimensions, Love International and music released on labels such as Space lab & Holding Hands. Were super excited to have them contribute this slow-paced, effortlessly smooth mix created for the deeper, celestial mind...

Cozi questions ...

1.⁠ ⁠How and why did you get into producing / dj’ing?
We started going out in the late 90’s and got hooked on a combination of amazing clubs, killer tunes and even better gary's so buying decks and spinning seemed like a no brainer. Records were cheap, record shops were everywhere. Good times :) 

2.⁠ ⁠Who, What/where was your most coziest gig you've been to or experienced and why?
We played a 4hr ambient set at Nachtdigital festival which was super cozi - we went to the depths whilst everyone was laying around on mattresses and sofas, cuddling in blankets under the stars. It was super special. 

3.⁠ ⁠Do you consider yourself an introvert or extrovert in the scene?
Introverts I guess? There’s enough people making a lot of noise out there, we kind of tick along. We’re happy with our bit :)  

4.⁠ ⁠If you had to choose 1 track to vibe out too forever, what would it be?
Jai-en : Bubble Gum. It’s a stone cold banger and comes to every gig with us. If you see one, buy it! 

5.⁠ ⁠What is your routine when preparing for a gig / production/writing session? Do you have any special remedies/ mental/physical prep/ places to go to? :)
Rupes: I do pretty meticulous preparation, taking vinyl out of sleeves and into plastic cases to protect them and to pack more into the bag. I like a few beers before a gig to settle the nerves. 
Nic: I chaotically throw records around the living room in a panic before the gig and hope for the best. Our friend Adam said watching me prepare for a gig actually gave him anxiety and he had to leave the room. I try and stay sober, I can’t mix after two beers.

Harmony Rec. podcast | Inner Zone

Our next mix comes from some very good pals of ours, @inner_zone. As well as running one of our all time favourite labels @spacelabrecords, Nic and Rupes are responsible for some of the best parties London has seen in recent years. Having founded the legendary Make Me event series, they now run Transmissions at Fold as well as its yearly festival edition Transmissions From Hackney. They've also released some great EPs on labels such as Feelings Worldwide and their own Space Lab imprint.

This mix exemplifies their versatility; a live recording from their warm up for Sunju Hargun at one of their Fold parties last year. Taken from the opening hours of the party and progressing from deeper to more rolling sounds while building tension, this set captures the perfect early-night balance between patience and momentum. It's a perfect snapshot of what makes them such great DJs - deep selections, great pacing and total synergy between the two of them. Thanks boys!
