wavecult mix 002 / h3idrun

A pathway through emotion, a process of growth and illumination, an exploration of darkness, a transmutation.

When we say that Arna takes his listeners on a journey, we aren’t just throwing the term around. 

His sets are a form of alchemy, and this is no exception. Taking influence from a range of genres while paying homage to his dubstep roots, this is a dark, wandering voyage into the depths of the void - and into the beautiful mystery beyond.

wavecult mix 003 // ARNA

For this installment of our mix series we’ve got the ADM boys from Perth to whip us up a little halftime appraiser.

Acomply

Part of Perth’s thriving Drum & Bass scene in the early 2000s, come 2009 Acomply was heavily influenced by Kryptic Minds, notably their “One Of Us” release on Osiris Music. This initiated a transition into the 140 BPM range and the sounds found in Deep Dubstep. Never one to stand still, Acomply started local label After Dark Music [ADM] in 2015 due to the lack of reach for the sounds he was hearing. Since then, the label has burgeoned into a collective of unique artists, crafting a recognisable sound and drawing influences from all corners of the globe. This has translated into success on Juno Download, Beatport, and further opportunities to collaborate with artists like Mikrodot, 11th Hour, Chad Dubz, Wraz and Morning High who have all featured. When it comes to his sets, expect a blend of heavy low end and spacey dubbed out textures, some unreleased/forthcoming material, and generally forward thinking music.

Mauja

Has been DJ'ing since 2001, and producing music since 2010. Employed as a Senior Lecturer at SAE Institute in Perth, when not teaching Mauja is continually staying abreast of the latest technology and developments in electronic music, as well as being heavily involved in various musical projects. This includes with After Dark Music [ADM] as a label partner and mastering engineer. Influences include a wide variety of sounds and genres from a broad array of electronic music to various metal bands, hip hop, scratch DJ’s, film scores and any leftfield vinyl records collected over the years. Other sources of inspiration come from science fiction, graffiti/street art and anything in between. Expect moody vibes, and a schematic of tracks showcasing sound design, groove and heavy syncopation from his sets.
