"Had a fruitful venture to the record store which inspired me to try out some of my new records. Mixing wobbly minimal, tech house, chordy euphoric business and some harder stuff as well. Had a lot of fun recording this one :)"

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

Off-Kilter 010 takes form as an exclusive live recording from Jorg Kuning. Lock in to one hour of his psychedelic, eccentric and unfolding house and techno. 

//

Like so many great artists emanating from the lush Welsh valleys (think Steevio, Leif, Duckett et al) Jorg Kuning creates distinctly pastoral dance music that is in equal parts playful, deep, melodic and eccentric. Through a string of low-key sell-outs on his own Bakk Heia label, the producer has already developed a unique signature sound and a burgeoning cult following to boot, with early adopters including Ben UFO, Call Super and Shanti Celeste.

His recent Chosta-del-sol release on Facta and K-Lone's Wisdom Teeth steps it up a gear - channeling a polyphony of warm pads, warping plucks and oozing modular noise that stretches and sprawls throughout the record.

Jorg is a resident at the Bakk Heia party which happens regularly at Manchester institution The White Hotel.

Few selectors radiate the polish and panache of rising star and shining light, Hannah D. As a DJ, Hannah’s sets exude a sense of swank – infectious, playful melodies intertwine with propulsive beats to create big room energy with ease. A new age revivalist of only the best progressive sounds that the 90s and 00s have to offer, Hannah’s deeply dug record bag and technical finesse empower her to guide punters through vast emotions, often pushing us to soar into a state of energetic ecstasy. Her PN guest mix does just that - recorded live for episode 207 of Passing Notes.

Needing very little introduction, our next guest is one of the most inspiring and talented artists in Naarm - and one of our close friends - Bex (@becarmstrongmusic). 

An artist in the truest sense of the word, Bex is a DJ, producer and visual artist. She is the founder of the online platform Space Cast (@spacecast-melbourne) - a project which facilities an art and music exchange that supports local artists financially through the sale of print. She's also the co-founder of the Spincycle parties alongside Robbie (@terrytec), and Send/Return with Hannah D (@hld) which showcases two djs playing back-to-back, all night long.

We're so grateful to put out this mix, which sees Bec channel psychedelic moods while maintaining a tough, tekky vibe which is synonymous with her sound. 

Thanks again Bec for this beauty of a mix <3

Advice for the DJs, producers and artists of our community: No one wakes up and can just DJ. You have to push through being sh*t to get to the wins. That's okay though, just keep going. Every time you do a good mix it will push you that step further and it REALLY is WORTH IT!
Be authentic. Set your intentions. Music is a powerful tool and should be honoured in that respect. Showing up when you can is important but don't self sacrifice and take care of yourself.

For this twenty-third episode of Polychrome Radio, we have the honor of hosting Bristol’s very own Farrell in our collection of recordings. Chris has been instrumental in shaping the port city sound through Idle Hands label and legendary record store, providing a unanimously respected and influential platform to Bristol’s underground electronic music scene, now very well represented on the global stage. 

The multiple crisis that the UK independent record industry faces opened the door to doubt, but also to re-invention. Chris Farrell’s resilience, incredible drive, resilience, vision and artist discovery and music selection talents are his best assets, and he has been making use of them over the past months. With a new record label ‘Devil’s Work’ (whose first release is a must-listen) and remarked DJ performances at @loveintfestival and @houghtonfestival , Chris Farrell has been opening new avenues and expressing his creativity in novel ways.

This podcast is a perfect reflection of it. Seamlessly flowing through dub bass lines, percussive rhythms, deep & hypnotic techno and UK flavored tech house, it is a masterclass where the focus is placed on a progressive dancefloor experience and musical storytelling. And one thing is sure, the beautiful story that he is still writing leads to the dance floor. Enjoy!

"Inspired by summertime in London, it's a pretty straight-ahead, fun, mix of techy and proggier numbers that doesn’t take itself too seriously, and that’s meant to keep your head bopping and feet moving."
