Oh and I forgot about this track from B'Zircon (collaboration between Roza Terenzi and Fantastic Man), "Azure":
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-1CbVLjDXw

One of my great regrets is ignoring Rosa Terenzi for so long because I confused her with Ramzi, also of the AUS-BC axis but imo much less interesting. She, along with D tiffany, reptant, et al are making some of my fav music these days.

I LOVE Baltra

Listening to “Azure” again this morning I was struck by how much the aesthetic preoccupations of this scene can be explained by a copy of Sasha’s XPander EP from 1999, and tbh I’m here for it.

abso-friggin-lutely it’s that wide open aqueous/big sky feel

not much happens here, but WHOOSH

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4FBHxpCkjM

sorry, that’s “open sky” by dust-e-1 and side a of “inversia 1” by globex

More along these lines

new d Tiffany / roza terenzi

This is monumental.

Some of these tracks cover so much ground and so many different ideas they're almost like jive bunny megamixes or miniature dj sets.

feel like one of d Tiffany’s trademarks is this “aquatic skitteriness”, something in the way the hats and percussion skip around and run through filters and stuff, it’s so funky

No youtubes up yet but these samples sound great. https://www.phonicarecords.com/product/guy-contact-ultraviolet-freqs-ep-pre-order-craigie-knowes/175309

Gonna just say it: The AUS/CAN connection (and related global instances of high-end 90s trance/prog flecked revival - though the best of it seems to be from Australia and BC) is my favourite thing in the last few years of new music.

damn late pass on this Bliss Inc Radiant Reality ep from 2019! Very cool stuff

Not part of this scene, but for anyone who enjoyed Rosa Terenzi's trance set for Resident Advisor last year, this 2019 set by Job Jobse is very very fun:

new d tiffany mix. i recommend most mixes in the pipipi series to van -> melb fans

I know the label is based in Berlin rather than Aus/Can but The Sound Of Limo feels like it belongs here

Anyone who digs that HAS to check out their DJ Trance remixes from a few years ago:
