Mixes // Sets

In SZ’s own words: I’m pleased to present a lil’ slice of my nearly 7hr set from No Way Back 2022.  A wild ride that began with Vangelis and somehow meandered onto the CISCO hold theme?

NWB, by far, is my favorite room to play as I get to truly stretch out and see all my friends at once. Year after year. A humble ty to everyone for letting me do my thing. Whatever the hell it is. If you ever figure it out, pls let me know. 

I hope to share a dance w you all v soon — Love is the message

IT.podcast.s12e05: Scott Zacharias at No Way Back 2022

Purelink have been described more than once as an "ambient boy band." (They themselves say "jam band.") It's not meant dismissively—the American trio purposefully mean to function as a band, even if their main instruments are laptops. Ambient might not quite cut it as a descriptor, though. The group's music crosses eras and scenes, touching on the late '90s clicks & cuts boom as well as the billowy ambient techno put out by labels like 3XL, West Mineral Ltd. and NAFF. 

Their most recent LP, Signs, released on enigmatic imprint Peak Oil (and one of our favourite albums of 2023), is especially impressive, made of stuttering rhythms and glassy textures. In other words, it's ambient-not-ambient. While members Concave Reflection, kindtree and Millia have all made excellent music on their own, something special happens when they come together.

Purelink's RA Podcast is another stellar contribution to our post-New Year's tradition, where we highlight a more laid-back sound to soothe weary minds and frazzled brain cells after the heavy holiday celebrations. This is 90-plus minutes of intricately textured downtempo, dub techno and even UK garage, all cut through with a floaty, almost drowsy quality, with plenty of exclusives and unreleased cuts from the likes of Nick León, James K, Downstairs J and more. It highlights Purelink's position as a bridger of worlds, sounds and tempos.

(0:00 - 0:31)

Ice thaws, sun’s warm glow
Creatures stir as water flows
Spring blooms, life feels whole.

(0:32 - 1:04)

Once green, now ablaze
Bugs hum in thick Summer haze
Finally, evening.

(1:05 - 1:36)

Light fades, dark awaits
Fiery hues swirl and sway
Dancing in decay.

(1:37 - 2:06)

Winter’s bitter breath
Arrives later and later
Earth’s rhythm: off beat.

Good friend and constant source of inspiration Alex Albrecht, joined me to celebrate my 300th episode of Passing Notes.

Few artists channel a consistent stream of creativity like Alex Albrecht. With over a decade of music-making under his belt, Alex has cultivated a distinct and frankly iconic musical identity. Effortlessly shapeshifting between experimental jazz, ambient, atmospheric house, and deep techno, Alex’s compositions are marked by an environmental undertone that imbues them with a uniquely “Alex Albrecht” earthly sense of place. Simultaneously anchoring and weightless, the common thread between it all is Alex’s ability to leave listeners safely ensconced in a swell of emotional resonance.

Improvisation and exploration are at the heart of Albrecht’s craft. His constantly evolving and captivating live performances have taken him to far corners of the globe, with appearances at iconic venues like Bassiani in Georgia, Monument in Norway, and Vent in Tokyo just to name a few. Each journey fuels his exploratory nature, offering new opportunities to immerse himself in the world around him. Field recordings serve as an auditory journal—postcards sent home to evoke memories of space and place that form the ever-important foundation of his creative process. These recordings provide a naturalistic canvas upon which Alex layers syncopated rhythmic subtleties and soaring, colorful synthetic brushstrokes.

With a rich discography amassing on celebrated labels such as A Strangely Isolated Place, Constellation Tatsu, Apollo, Scissor & Thread, and his own Analogue Attic Recordings—also celebrating its 10th anniversary this year—Albrecht’s work reflects a steadfast commitment to artistic authenticity and a depth of accrued knowledge now expressed through a craft so refined that oft feels effortless.

It was an honour to have Alex performing LIVE in the studio to celebrate this milestone together and share in his music that will continue to inspire us all.

About the Mix:
“Flutter in a collage of buoyant and airy selections inspired by metamorphosis 🐛🦋 Encased in a cocoon, a caterpillar now formless. Structures disintegrate and then rebuild. A butterfly emerges. Released from limitations, flying free ^_^ Thanks again to DJ Economy and Body Tools International for having me over to spin in their beautiful studio! 🩵 ” - agraybé

Primal Colors Presents Hex Code #FFFFFF by Agraybé...

Step through the serpent’s portal—Spring is here. 🐍 @agraybe conjures a soundscape where deep, rolling basslines and shimmering textures blur the line between the organic and the mechanical. Rooted in the rhythms of the Midwest and flourishing in LA’s underground, she brings a perspective shaped by art, science, and ecology. As a resident of @MadeToMove_LA and @NewPalm, and the force behind Anemone and Cloud Studies, agraybé curates sets that feel both instinctual and intentional, fluid yet deeply grounded.

This mix sways between hypnotic, spaced-out grooves and crisp, old-school techno sensibilities, moving like a slow exhale into the warmth of a new season. Change is in the air—let it pull you in. 🌿✨

Welcoming the lovely Refuge Worldwide co-founder and dub-master @richard-akingbehin to the Animix series this week, with a beautiful journey of minimal house infused with his signature dub styles.

Clear in his DJ'ing, but also his work with @refugeworldwide, and his immaculately curated label, @kynant-records, Richard is an all-round classy selector, and a champion of community. Through his various outputs, his deep & considered knowledge and taste shines. 

Richard always impresses me with the diversity of moods he presents via his DJ'ing, hybrid collaborations with legend Tikiman, b2bs with other legends like livwutang, and his label - a diversity that's always strung together with his incredibly distinctive psychedelic, soothing dub formula. 

Thanks for the mix Richard <3
