“This mix serves as a snapshot into my deep listening sets, which I feel are my purest form of musical expression but I rarely get to present these adventurous tracks outside of private gatherings and the odd stream. 

Hope you enjoy!"

"Her voice was like the voice of his own soul
Heard in the calm of thought; its music long,
Like woven sounds of streams and breezes."

After some time, the podcast series returns with a fresh mix from Morpha. Morpha, whose real name is Alexander, was born in the south of Russia and currently resides in St. Petersburg. Noteworthy are some of his contributions and collaborations, as this rising artist has worked with labels such as Secuencia Temporales, Profundo Collective, and KVLTO Records. Additionally, he has released a stellar 'The Memoir' podcast that includes 100% productions from himself. He's also a founding member of "Ephemeral," a community dedicated to promoting deep, hypnotic ambient techno music both locally and globally.

We are pleased to feature Alexander in the series as the mix embraces a variety of angles, from ambient to more tribalistic patterns, ensuring a mesmerising ride overall. Enjoy.

Whispers drift beneath the roots of time.
Music breathes between moments unseen.
Listen—not to understand, but to dissolve into being

Listen back to our latest AFDS show on IDA Helsinki radio with local guest MORA, taking us on an experimental, genre-crossing and noise influenced ambient trip.

MORA (they/them) is a Helsinki-based artist exploring the complexities of sonic soundscapes and rhythmic motion through politically conscious, experimental forms. Their work pays homage to the past while venturing into the unwritten and forbidden. Blending ancient cultural references with modern expression, MORA continually breaks and remakes patterns to explore human freedom and becoming. Through their solo projects, collaborations, post êxistance collective, and as co-host of the monthly radio show Shivers on IDA Helsinki, they create safer, neuro-inclusive spaces centering QPOC communities and experimental fluidity.

Vogelklang is an ambient project by musician Otis Klang. “Anfang” – which means “beginning” in German – marks the opening gesture of "Recall to Forget", the debut work by Vogelklang.

Composed and performed live to cassette using a Tascam 488, “Anfang” unfolds as a slow awakening – a meditation between memory and erasure, where tones blur and silence breathes. There is no linear progression, no climax; instead, a gentle unraveling that feels both intimate and distant, like remembering a dream that was never yours.

Sound exists in the liminal – between the natural and the unseen, the ordinary and the strange. “Anfang” is not merely an introduction, but an invitation: to drift, to dissolve, and perhaps, to find a trace of yourself in the echo.

IORI (@iori927)
일본 오키나와 출신으로 도쿄에서 활동중인 DJ/프로듀서 이오리(IORI)는, 2000년대 뉴욕의 전설적인 파티 The Loft에서 그의 음향적인 멘토였던 David Mancuso의 어시스턴트로 활동하며 섬세하게 소리를 다루는 방법들을 배워나갔다. 이러한 정확한 준비과정을 통해 이오리는 우주적인 공간감의 사운드를 만들기 시작했으며, Phonica, Prologue와 같은 레이블들에서 자신의 작업물을 발표하기 시작했다. 2009년, 이오리는 Basic Channel, Manuel Gottsching의 사운드로부터 영감을 받은 데뷔 EP Galaxy를 발표하였고, 이후 덥으로부터 시작된 자신만의 새로운 사운드를 담대히 발전시켜 나갔다. 그리고 2012년, 이오리는 당시 아시아의 떠오르는 스타 디제이 노부(Nobu)의 레이블 Bitta를 통해 앰비언트 사운드와 최면적인 테크노 사운드가 혼합된 첫 번째 풀-랭스 앨범 ‘Nexus’를 발표하였다.
2010년 즈음부터 2년간 베를린에 머물며 전 유럽을 무대로 활동한 이오리는 이 기간 중 자신의 최면적인 테크노 세트에 대한 확신을 가지게 되었고, 2015년 일본에 돌아온 이후에도 그의 이름은 전 세계적으로 점점 입지를 넓혀 나가게 되었다. 
2016년 이오리는 공상과학을 소재로 한 앰비언트 앨범 ‘Cold Radience’를 발표하였다. 이 앨범은 클럽 지향적인 관점을 벗어나서 이오리의 깊은 사운드에 대한 예술적 관점과 그 가치를 증명해 내었으며, 이는 프로듀서로써 이오리가 오랫동안 지속해왔던 작업들에 대한 자연스러운 결과물이였다. 섬세하고 매혹적인 사운드들로 가득한 이 작품은 이오리가 나아가는 미래에 대한 기대를 한층 더 증폭시키고 있다. (글: 유사쿠 시게야스)

Hailing from Okinawa, now-Tokyo-based producer IORI once cut his teeth as an assistant for David Mancuso’s revered party, The Loft, in New York City, where he learnt a meticulous sonic mentality from his audiophile mentor. This permeates his carefully-handled arrangements, which have helped make his name and define a series of spacey, atmospheric originals and remixes for proponent imprints like Phonica and Prologue to name but a few. Since his striking 2009 debut, Galaxy, which took its cue from Basic Channel and Manuel Gottsching, the Japanese producer has developed an immensely expressive dubbed-out sound in his own right. The first culmination of that is 2012’s excellent Nexus album for Bitta, a label owned by Far Eastern rising star DJ Nobu, seeing his ambient productions sit nicely with his hypnotic dance tunes.
Two year stay in Berlin in early 2010s helped IORI gain a foothold in the international stage. He has since traveled across Europe, validating his characteristic meditative techno set, which is just the tip of his huge musical iceberg that ranges from low-slung house to leftfield oddballs. Despite his return to Japan in 2015, his presence remains strongly felt through frequent European tours. 2016 saw IORI release the Cold Radiance album, where his sci-fi ambient side grew fully- fledged. For an artist that has produced immersive and spacious pieces, it was a logical continuation of his extensive career as a producer. Eschewing the club-orientated perspective, it certainly proved IORI’s expressional depth and does justice to his artistic intention, his acute ears for spellbinding details standing out in sharp relief, which raised expectations of his promising future.
