  • Record Store recs
    Louisa shares a collection of tracks gifted over the years by record store staff and graveyard shift radio DJs, a tribute to a time when you could tour the city each week to each record store and staff would know your taste and recommend great new and old releases just for you.

  • Clang Clang Clang, Bang Bang Bang; high percussion in popular music

  • Doom Scroll
    Michele Vescio presents a mix performed by Sebastian Calvo, a multidisciplinary artist whose practice sits at the intersection of music, performance, and experimental sound. They've performed at iconic venues and events across Sydney, Melbourne, and New York, and their collaborations span visual art and choreography, with ongoing projects both locally and internationally.Doom Scroll started as a test mix for Sebastian Calvo’s upcoming EP NOĶŒNTROL, made up mostly of their own tracks. The title comes from a track in the mix, inspired by Sebastian’s own habit of doom-scrolling - something they turned into a cathartic sound piece. This mix reflects a mindset shift offering a layered, introspective journey following their own recovery. For more on Sebastian's work, head to Apple Music, Spotify, or Linktree for a full list of releases, projects, and more. Flourish Australia - supports mental health recovery and disability inclusion. SAMSN (Support After Sexual and Domestic Violence) - supports male survivors of childhood sexual abuse. Doom Scroll (Radio edit) / Sebastian Calvo Pilgrimage (Original Mix) / Svarog Call me (Silent number edit) / Sebastian Calvo Quiet (Junior Vasquez mix) / Zoel Don’t (NoKontrol mix) / Sebastian Calvo Restitimelo (Give it back to me) / Sebastian Calvo Esoteric (Sebastian Calvo edit) / Svarog Donna (Sebastian Calvo extended version) / The Art of Noise Doom Scrolling (Sidebar mix) / Sebastian Calvo  Oxytocin (8.5 Hypnomix) / Sebastian Calvo  Image: Courtesy of Sebastian Calvo, used with permission.
