To guide us through the next simulated experience; Passing Notes Radio boss and 1/2 of the great new label ‘Companion', Pjenné [Melbourne, AUS], shows us what a utopian existence can sound, feel and look like.

Follow on as she glides through the stratosphere, looking down on the lush greenery and crystal water that our earth effortlessly inhabits... occasionally looking up into the vast display of distant stars and planets, glittering across the stillness of outer space.

Pjenné beautifully illustrates the phenomenology of nature through tracks which touch on each element, whether that be the ethereality of air, the intricacy of water, the depth of earth, or just the pure warmth flowing through this immaculately thought-out audible narrative.

We couldn’t help but think this would be the perfect soundtrack for the day peace on earth is declared, where humanity sits back and appreciates a new world— where collectively, we love what grows, exists and dies.

This small blue dot is our home… our balanced oasis in the desert of space. Perhaps we need the ability to fly to see a different perspective - and we’re sure this will help.

Close your eyes and drift into your own self.

Enjoy, and thankyou Pjenné

Entering our minds through the rumbling of bass bins planted firmly on the ocean floor, Cousin’s deep earth rhythms span wide, from massage chair dubs on 7" to peak time dust burners echoing live under the stars. Summoning sounds from well below the surface and far beyond the ozone layer, we're treated here to a blissed out blend of atmospheric groovers inspired by the natural surrounds of the Moonshoe boss' daily commute.

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

UC022 // Next up, is DJ Netburner who has recently returned to Melbourne with a back pocket full of stripped down, rolling minimal tunes.  

This mix floats in the void of a steady march with some intriguing emerging ideas as well as an unreleased track with signature Netburner sampling & techy goodness.

"l've been really interested in mixes and songs that have a bit of push-pull to them like the intensity or feeling of the song isn't always building directly towards being more energetic or more intense.  It has a bit of a push-pull feel to it or like ebb & flow so that's what I wanted to do with this mix.  It starts off a little bit more minimal before getting fuller towards the middle and then stripping back towards the end, with little peaks in between."
