Vivid Corals on Mouthfull Radio

A personal and sentimental collection of tracks put together off the back of a solo camp in Taungurung Country. This mix combines drifting ambience and abrasive noise alongside dark and reverb drenched pop as a means to capture feelings of solitude, introspection, anxiety and reflection. I hope you find yourself floating between thoughts and sounds. <3

002 | 'Fear Of Looking Inwards' Mix

Halcyon Days w. Dorian & Waukee - 12 August 2021

Tension and release. In darkness Bulbophyllum nocturnum blooms, the only known orchid of it's kind. Seen only when unseen. A vulnerable beauty exposed by the night, adorn by a reflection of the moon.

To be listened to alone, accompanied by yourself.

003 | 'As The Moonlit Orchid Blooms' Mix

For the seventh volume of lazed, a mix series thought as a playground for listening music, we're happy to share violet U.'s debut mix. The Naarm/Melbourne-based DJ crafted a 2-hour collage of sounds that weave between electro-acoustic ambience, brooding drones, sparse breaks and left-field dub - a perfect way to showcase his varying sound under this new moniker. 

The songs contained within were collected over the past 2 years, like journal entries from the seasons passed. Inspired by the question of what it means to listen, the mix was recorded months ago as Country moved into what Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung Peoples describe as Waring season. Intrinsic to this mix, the transient songs, stories and cries of the changing landscape find solace within.

"Calls of birdsong pull tides from the moon while morning dew dances to the rhythm of life. I see wind just as I hear the cold and my hands touch the earth while my heart feels its words. Each step louder than the last, I learn to listen to silence.

What does it mean to listen..? to sound? to others? to the environment? to oneself?"

lazed07 - violet U. - "lessons in silence"

violet U. is the new moniker of Dorian; an emerging DJ and marine ecology student based in Naarm/Melbourne who’s varying sound is inspired by the interconnectedness of life within the natural world. Under violet U. he hopes to explore spectrums of sound that evoke feelings of introspection and are grounded in the human experience. Expect shimmering ambiance, warped sound system and DIY aesthetics, sparse breaks, left-field oddities, fleeting vocals and all that may fall between.

LOW EARTH ORBIT W/ VIOLET U. 22.08.25

Live recording from Tasmanian Palestine Advocacy Network fundraiser at Kickstart Arts.

The idea was to move the space from art gallery to dance floor, which was fun and challenging with a fluctuating flow of listeners in the room. First time playing in Lutruwita too - a blessing.

I had so much fun! hope u enjoy <3
