It’s great to be back in the Forest Park Homestead studio for the first Do Your Thing show of 2026. It’s been a lovely, relaxing summer break, and I hope you managed to get away yourself for some chill-out time over the summer period. 

Big thanks and props to the legend Dap for filling in over the past four weeks with the ‘Do Your Thing Summer Edition.’ He's a radio comrade who always selects a most interesting array of tunes. You can listen back to Dap’s fills on the DYT program page at 3mdr.com.

Our inaugural musical journey of 2026 takes us on a trip through the landscapes and sounds of Australia’s nature-infused electronic scene. We explore a blend of atmospheric textures, deep tones, and housey grooves from some of our favourite music makers across the antipodean latitudes. Each track is threaded together by a shared love for the natural world, which serves as a vital source of creative inspiration.
