Danish producer, composer, singer and record collector Astrid Engberg is the creator of this week's calm and kaleidoscopic Sunday Mix. Her new album, 'Trust', is a stunning meditation on intuition and new motherhood, with her mix also looking to familial connections and experiences for inspiration.

“I’ve been collecting records since I was 15 years old," begins Engberg. "For this mix I wanted to slow down – like, really slow down and dive into the sections of my collection that I don’t play out or use in mixes, the stuff I listen to at home with my family on Sunday mornings. There’s some pretty epic stuff in here that you can turn on, and just let flow through you while doing life."

INTERVIEW

Thomas Fehlmann's The Umdrehen Ransom Note Mix

With deep roots that stretch from ambrosial Kerala to the golden coast of California, CHA CHA’s (@cha-cha-pillai) sound is inspired by purling polyrhythms from cultures beyond the West. Their devotion to tabla, djing, and modular synthesis, guides them through universal sonic spaces.

Mother and sound engineer of Corduroy Garden Soundsystem, CHA CHA organizes hi-fidelity techno-forward experiences in Los Angeles underground. They have worked with crews and curators such as New Palm, Pranks!, Printshop, Vitamin1k, FeM Synth Lab, Acid Camp and United Selector Network.

A note from Cha Cha: 
"With this mix I intend to highlight my everlasting love for cheeky, freaky productions and wormhole bass lines while exploring the mesmerizing technicalities of drum traditions from around the world. I hope to coax the listener into a twisting, off-kilter energetic experience leaving them deep inside my fast, futuristic rhythmic jungle."

Alex Downey LIVE at B A L A N C E Xmas Party - Rhythm Factory, London - December 2009

“When I first began my Imaginary Softwoods project in 2007, I had imagined different combinations of spaces that could be translated into sounds. This method of indoor (or in-mind) travel had been learned from my instances of combining mind-altering chemicals with sounds. In my early years, I would argue with myself to the point where whatever I was seeing was completely transformed or altered into something that was definitely what was in what I call "Consensus Based Reality", or the reality that occurs at lower vibration frequencies. Over the years I've trained myself to manifest entire environments - places, rooms, worlds, all triggerable by a single sound or mood. I can see the square footage of a space, the colors. I can smell the smells, decipher different wood types, past, present and future life energies and everything that encompasses the gauzy infinity of rainbowed aether. My favorite aspect of this is that I have no say in what it is I am manifesting, and whatever appears just appears. I am blessed by these experiences, I take none of them for granted and everything contained in these scenes are gifts. A recurring theme from my earliest visions is a Bronze Lamp. I will spare you the details of how great it looks, but something worth noting is that the lightbulb on it is actually burnt out and needs replacing. Anyhow, I modeled this particular set of music for No Way Back after my experiences with this lamp and the energy it gives me. Some of the tracks appeared as studio versions on my "So Extra Bronze Lamp" digital EP a few months later, while a good portion of this performance is exclusive to No Way Back set (and will remain as such). 2020 has been a year no one alive will ever forget, and as many went into lockdown mode I had an opportunity to develop these visions and present them as part of an absolutely incredible livestream event, and now here again for your enjoyment.” 
— John Elliot, Imaginary Softwoods

This month's edition of Bright Patterns draws breath from a new spring just over the horizon. Hot on the heels of his venerable 24-hour stream, Patrick Russell joins as the special guest for a second time. After a playful, beat-driven journey through Vicki's first hour, Patrick immerses himself in Aleksi Perälä's vast catalog and presents a focused exploration of the Finnish artist’s most stripped, meditational moments, resulting in a seamless series of cascading frequencies that push us forward into a vibrant unknown.
