@avsluta keep coming back to this and finding new moments! <3

The recording of my set at Paral·lel Festival 2022 🌲⛰🧡 @parallelfestival

I was on 12.30-14.30 on Saturday afternoon. When I started playing, grey hazy clouds were still drifting across the panorama from Friday night’s storm, and by the end of my set, the sun was shining down on all of us.

This set meant a great deal to me, and being gifted the task of drifting from ambient expansion into trippy rhythms, coaxing everyone up off the floor and into movement, was such a dream.

Hope you enjoy this memory from an amazing weekend in those magical mountains 🧚✴️

For the first Deep Mind Music of 2023, I am delighted to welcome garçon, one of the brains behind the impeccable amenthia label, a dynamic and highly-inspiring DJ, whose sets I always find special. After many years of mutual online mix-appreciation, we finally got to hang out in person last year, and it’s been so lovely to connect with a fellow deep-feeling DJ.

I love the way garçon weaves together sounds, rhythms and harmonies into compelling patchworks which transport the listener into whole new worlds. He has a very subtle way of putting together tracks, delicately contrasting soundscapes to bring out new shapes and motifs, lightly morphing the visual landscape around us.

garçon's mix for Deep Mind Music is a space for nocturnal daydreaming, a gentle dive into the ocean of the mind, going ever inwards in a swirling haze of thoughts. A poignant expression of emotion that perfectly captures the wistful energy of January 🕯️

The first half of the mix slowly coalesces out of gossamer veils of sound, each new layer melting into the next. In the second half, we gradually descend into deeper pools of emotion, detaching from reality and getting lost in the waves. By the end, we’re adrift in an intimate cerebral realm, a space for pensive imagining and unbounded feeling. The closing track by Donnacha Castello is one of those pieces of music which is at once an expression of the deepest sorrow, and the purest joy. Thank you garçon for this very moving entry 🕊️🤍☁️

#114 brings the talented Italian duo, Primal Code (@primalcodemusic), to the animix series, an act who have become known for their distinctively soulful & hypnotic interpretation of atmospheric techno.

Their recent release on @kalaharioystercult was one of my favourites of last year, a unique & modern fuse of dub techno, acid & modular sounds, resulting in a magically squelchy, deep, subterranean body of work. Before that, releases on the prolific @hypnus & @konstrukt cemented their style. This mix is a lovely continuation of that.

Thank you for your lovely mix Davide and Gabriele!

Animix One Hundred & Twenty Four: Primal Code

Honored to welcome UK-based Caldera to the series, a talented and multi-dimensional producer affiliated with several of our favorite labels along with his Well Street-associated Loop LF alias. Caldera's mix is volcanic, true to form, simmering and vaporous in its first half before igniting in thunderous bloom in the second. From headiness and haze to full-blown percussive workouts, an unparalleled sense of rhythm lies at its core, seismic in its swell. Thank you Caldera!

For Patterns of Perception 112, we're very excited to welcome back @kondukukonduku - a truly stellar all-round talent and dear friend of our collective. 

Four whole years have passed since we last featured Konduku in our mix series. In this time, he has reached new creative heights, adding textures, shades and vibrancy to his distinctive sound - in the process finding homes for highly touted releases on the likes of @spaziodisponibile, Mantis (via @delsinrecords), @nousklaeraudio, @amenthia-recordings (with @aasudd) and most recently @djnobu_bitta's Bitta.

As a DJ, his creativity and skills are similarly vaunted, and see him regularly take the stage at key festivals, venues and events across Europe and Asia. 

Recorded live at Patterns of Perception @ OHM Berlin on Apr 21, 2023, Konduku's Patterns of Perception 112 is a showcase of his thrilling abilities behind the decks. Unpredictable yet totally engrossing, this set is a profound tale of tension and release. Tightly wound grooves and eerie psychedelia leading us unerringly to ecstasy. A fine balance of intuition, control and spirit from a visionary artist in full-flight.

Patterns of Perception 112 - Konduku

This recording is very special to us. Two hours of sonic bliss from our dear friend Avsluta recorded at the Stone Circle stage at Above Below 2023. As a long-standing resident of the Beacon stage, it was exciting to see how Avsluta would take control of the Stone Circle after she proposed a UK-Bass set early this spring. 

Needless to say, it was easy to see why she wanted to explore this avenue of sound. Avsluta weaved her way through various shades of bass music, expertly intertwining rhythm and groove with the deep atmospheric touch that she is known for. 

As the weekend came to a close and the timeless memories started to settle in, we grew evermore eager to share some of the magic that occurred down in the valley. Hopefully, this mix will help convey a snapshot of the blissful moments experienced over the three days.

Monument Festival 2023: Severja

"These records changed my emotional perspective on music." Recorded live at Dekmantel, the Italian techno artist dissects the records that shaped his approach to DJing and production.

There are few artists as widely respected as Donato Dozzy, who is known for his unique approach to building hypnotic, acid-infused atmospheres as a solo artist and as one half of Voices From The Lake. He is also a singular curator at the head of Spazio Disponibile alongside Neel, and a DJ with a reputation for building sophisticated and slowly unwinding sets at festivals like Labyrinth, Terraforma and Horst, as well as in public spaces and museums.

In this Exchange live from Dekmantel 2023, Resident Advisor's editor-in-chief, Whitney Wei, asks Dozzy about the songs that shaped his craft in our Playing Favourites flagship series. He takes us back to his childhood, playing the first track that introduced him to electronic music before moving chronologically through his life and the pieces that acted as lynchpins in his creative development. He discusses how he grew up in a musical household, listening to classical orchestrations with his parents before finding Italo disco and the stylings of Giorgio Moroder, Lory D and The Future Sound of London. These albums, he says, influenced how he builds his sets, leaning into slowly unfolding narratives as he moves from one track to another. "When I started releasing albums, I decided that I wanted to create stories," he says. Listen to the episode in full.

Tracklist:
Franco Battiato - Summer on a Solitary Beach
Giorgio Moroder - The Chase
Lory D - Abrupt Interruption
The Future Sound of London - Cascade
Kruder & Dorfmeister - DJ Kicks 1996
Mike Parker - Dispatches
Die Woodys - Fitchtl's Lied
Verde Prato - Nina Sonando
Donato Dozzy - Valentina
