This week’s mix is an invigorating breath of fresh air courtesy of Japanese DJ and producer, Yukari Okamura.

We wholeheartedly adore the balance Yukari strikes between darkness and light, obscure mind-bending drones and psychedelic bliss - this mix being the perfect representation of her unique style which we’ve grown to love.

The originality of Yukari's productions is what initially caught our attention. With releases on the likes of Oslated, Circular Limited and OVUNQVE, all speaking to us in big, bold and beautiful ways, she immediately stood out as a prolific producer with an abundance of ideas and inspiration to share. We can’t wait to hear what's coming next.

Thank you Yukari <3

DifferentSound invites Albert van Abbe / Podcast #269

The vaunted techno producer discusses the connections between visual art and music, balancing a full-time career as a fine artist and how he creates his signature sound.

There's a connection between visual art and dance music that's seldom explored on our channels. Mike Parker is well known in the underground techno scene for minimal, hypnotic and beautifully executed sound design that sits somewhere at the edges of club music. But he also received his master's degree in fine art and teaches drawing and painting at Daemon University in Buffalo, New York. Fans of Parker will recognise his visual trademark: monochromatic prints that adorn the covers of the records he puts out on his label, Geophone.

In this Exchange, Parker sits down with Chloe Lula to talk about how he balances his art- and music-making practices and how they inform each other. He also opens up about the long process of sticking to his sound and finding an audience rather than catering to the demands and suggestions of labels and distributors. His 2001 breakout album, Dispatches—which he reissued last year—is a meditation on the act of living far away from any listeners or immediate influences, and he discusses the ongoing drawbacks and rewards of balancing the Eurocentric pursuit of DJing with day-to-day work that's so geographically removed. He also opens up about his longtime collaboration with Donato Dozzy, his love of mid-20th-century sci-fi movies and how free-form radio shaped his approach to music and art. Listen to the episode in full.
