Warning: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander listeners are advised that this mix may contain references to artists who have passed away.

This mix is a journey — a sonic weaving of sounds from Papua New Guinea, Australia, and Aotearoa New Zealand. It moves through rock, jazz, reggae, drum & bass, acid house, and ambient — stitched together from records found in op shops and second-hand bins in places like Alice Springs. Hidden gems, each carrying deep stories and echoes of place.

As a DJ living in Naarm (Melbourne) on unceded Wurundjeri Country, I feel a responsibility to share the music I find with care and respect. I am not First Nations myself, but this mix is a way of listening — to language, rhythm, and connection — across cultures, places, and histories.

It’s not about clean transitions or polished club energy. It’s not a club mix. It’s about mood, memory, and connection — across sound, genre, and geography. A mix for deep listening. I hope it speaks to you.
