For the 12th chapter of Terra Sonus, Blind Observatory leads a way to the Lake Taifu-Ikka - rather an idea, a mind construct than a place itself.

''One of the biggest joys for me when it comes to DJing is the actual preparation. Envisioning the situation in advance and laying out a colour palette of sounds that I would like to paint a picture with. However, on my last journey to Japan this became a very complicated task as a typhoon was laying over the festival site soaking everything in uncertainty. 

The night before my set I was sitting in my room, flipping through notebooks filled with playlists, desperately trying to find the right moves and account for every outcome. Like a Chess player calculating all possible continuations but none of them win. It was only when I realised and accepted that it is out my hands and I’ll have to trust my intuition, that I could find some peace of mind. 

I remember arriving at the stage thinking that even in rain on such a grey day everything feels so serene and calm. To my surprise, the clouds broke right before my play-time, leaving the sky bright blue. Funnily I had prepared for this exact possibility, nonetheless I played a completely different set. This time, it seemed, the situation had painted a picture of me.

Someone told me 台風一過 (Taifu-Ikka) is the Japanese expression describing this clear blue sky after a typhoon has passed. I thought a lot about it throughout the past year when I spent some time near a lake and would go for a swim in the early morning hours as often as I could. It had a very similar effect on me. So, “Lake Taifu-Ikka” is less of an actual place than it is an idea, a mind construct. A ritual of sorts, that helps me to move some clouds and clear up my mind. This set is an attempt to recreate this sensation. ''

K&H | TS12 "Lake Taifu-Ikka" by Blind Observatory

Number forty-five presented by a very good pal of mine and talented musician @djchrisellis. Chris' warm,  gentle and friendly aura as a person can really be felt in his musical leanings. The DJ and producer has contributed to series’ like Public Possession, Hope St Radio, Friendly Potential, Primer and Head Rush, spanning between house, electronic, Balearic, dub and IDM.  

Chris' productions are perfectly balanced --  groovy electronic dance music, but still maintaining a feeling of warmth and authenticity.  Beyond covid-lockdowns you can catch him play his playful live set, and he's also got a four track EP coming out on @publicpossession early next year.

Thanks again for the mix Chris! <3

~ DJ Aakmael [USA] ~

Richmond-based veteran DJ Aakmael was born to a trombonist father and a singer mother, which inevitably led him grow up in a jazz-and-funk-led environment. At the age of 16, he got his start behind the decks, playing everything from hip-hop and RnB to jazz and reggae at house parties and school jams, before getting into house thanks to Inner City's huge tune 'Big Fun'. On a mission to steadily educate the ears of his audience, he could have easily been part of those Founding Fathers of House who have devoted their life to producing and curating some of the best house vibes to date. Aak is mainly known for producing underground hard-hitting deep and raw house, assuredly filled with a touch of melancholy and nostalgia. Today, he no longer has anything to prove as his track record is as long as your arm; he first started to release records in the early 2000s on top dance labels like Note Grooves or Axe on Wax, before creating his own imprint UnXpozd Entertainment. Besides, he has been regularly gracing worldwide dance floors such as ://about:blank (Berlin), Fáklya Klub (Budapest) or Output (NY) alongside house geniuses including Patrice Scott or Kai Alcé.

Living up to his reputation, Aak has been extremely picky when putting his tracks together for this mix in order to uphold his standards. Today, he is delivering mellow but serious house grooves from Demuir, Local Options or Satoshi Tomiie. This could definitely be your new summer chill soundtrack!

DJ Aakmael’s latest crush: Hiatus Kaiyote - Mood Valiant

038 ~ plastic/vibes x DJ Aakmael 🇺🇸

DJ, producer and record collector Trujillo’s trajectory from Venezuela to Berlin is as colourful as his music. His well-honed sense of soul, disco and tropical 80s house rhythms comes paired with an unparalleled devotion to digging up dusty dance floor heat. 

Trujillo grew up in Merida, Venezuela, where records were a part of daily family life. His grandfather opened the city's first modern art museum and had a longstanding tradition of playing classical music everyday at lunchtime. His father had a vast collection of 60s and 70s rock and gifted Trujillo his first record when he was five years old and he’s never looked back. 

He wrote some words about his mix:

“During the last few months, I’ve been touring paradise islands in the Caribbean. Every day, I used to go to shell beach, a place with a magic view, just the perfect spot for watching the sunset and the waves dancing to the rhythm of my playlists, while dreaming to come back playing for crowds. On my return to Berlin, I decided to put together all these musical memories in a mix which I called Dreamwaves. When my good friend and fellow digger Danny asked me to join the exquisite Idle Cellar’s podcast series, I thought this would be the perfect summer soundtrack for enjoy a good glass of wine whilst watching the sunset.” 

Enjoy friends xx

Trepanado is head honcho behind the multimodal brasilian powerhouse "Selvagem"; party series, record label and former DJ duo together with Millos Kaiser. The two have since parted ways and Augusto now runs everything by himself, putting out killer after killer. For 591mins., Trepanado stays true to his roots, starting on the jazzy, balnearico side of things, moving to the street soul brasil territory and taking a turn on the wild side towards the end (his own words). We're excited to have him contribute to this last series of carefully curated mixes, 2 hours that make for a conciliatory end with summer here on the Northern hemisphere. Enjoy!

A new podcast for you by Lucid Arists ‘Weisses Licht’ (Florian and Robert) who managed to climb No.1 on Klartraum’s Top 10 on Beatport with their incredible ‘Diving Dancer (Weisses Licht Into The Deep Remix) also available on Lucid Vinyl 12” next to Ian Pooley and Vince Watson remixes.

1. Lucidflow: How does a creative day look/feel like for you?
A creative day always starts with the first ray of sun and a healthy break-fast.

2. Lucidflow: How do you hinder yourself in being creative?
Sometimes we feel like there’s not enough time left for music besides our 9 to 5 daytime jobs.

3. Lucidflow: how do you support yourself in being creative?
We nourish our creativity through our daily experiences in our lives no matter if positive or negative. And also through sounds that surround us every day.

4. Lucidflow: How did you come across Lucidflow?
That was Klartraum’s track ‘Pain Relief’. We were so fascinated by Klartraum’s sounds that we immediately wanted to get to know Nadja and Helmut. After some warm get togethers our aim was to release on Lucidflow and on top to contribute a mix to The Lucid Podcast.

5. Lucidflow: Tell us one of your greatest wishes:
Our greatest goal is to reach out to people through our music and to inspire our listeners who feel emotionally attached to our songs. Sometimes music expresses more than words ever could and this is what we hope to accomplish.

6. Lucidflow: If you had an infinite amount of time and money what would you do:
We’d set up a small but decent studio with some analog synths and gear and spend a lot of time there tweaking and producing new individual sounds on a daily basis.

7. Lucidflow: Anything else you would spread to the Lucid world? 
LucidSounds are a must-have for self-development through expanding our consciousness.
Best regards, Weisses Licht

We are happy to present a great dub set by Toby Dreher who has been pleasing our ears for many years on countless occations in and around Berlin and abroad. Toby rocks!

1. Lucidflow: How does a creative day look/feel like for you?
Coffee, work-out and just start. Having fun, taking things easy and being confident and trusting myself and my creative outcome.

2. Lucidflow: How do you hinder yourself in being creative?
Mainly it’s influences from outside rather than myself that hinders my creativity. Things like time pressure or expactations from others. What helps me to sweep away these bad vibes is having fun and listening to my inner voice to trusting in what I am doing.

3. Lucidflow: how do you support yourself in being creative?
Lots of reading in the first place and reflecting on myself but at the same time also not thinking too much about myself and just being active instead and get things done. Or I just get some inspiration on this web-site :) http://stoney.sb.org/eno/oblique.html

4. Lucidflow: How did you come across Lucidflow?
Through Nadja.

5. Lucidflow: Tell us one of your greatest wishes:
I want to constantly develop and evolve myself in a way which is in my opinon appropriate for me and my environment. In short: I want to move on and don’t get stuck. This is what keeps me happy.

6. Lucidflow: If you had an infinite amount of time and money what would you do:
A house near the Baltic Sea. Wife, studio, cows, cats, etc.

7. Lucidflow: Anything else you would spread to the Lucid world? 
Treat your environment just the same way as you would like to be treated.

Lucid Podcast weekend again… with a great dubby live performance by lucid artist Brickamn! Let the music play :-)

1. Lucidflow: How does a creative day look/feel like for you?
Can’t say that I have some scheme of my creative day or creative process, it’s always different: one day I can sit hours in studio and get nothing good, but other day I can do something in half an hour. Unfortunately, I still didn’t understand how to get more this creative days instead of useless studio days.

2. Lucidflow: How do you hinder yourself in being creative?
Well, sometimes I’m being too lazy. After workday I can just come home and do nothing instead of making music or do something useful. Also I make a lot of sketches, which sounds good for me, but I never finish them, so that’s a problem too, I think.

3. Lucidflow: how do you support yourself in being creative?
The main thing is to get some new impressions from anything. You can go for a walk, read some books or articles, listen to some new music (especially other than you produce genres). Also I like to discover some new production techniques or test new hardware/software instruments. That results in getting new sounds on the go, while I learn to use new gear.

4. Lucidflow: How did you come across Lucidflow?
I came across Lucidflow in 2010, and since that time Lucidflow has been one of my favorite labels.

5. Lucidflow: Tell us one of your greatest wishes:
I just want to spent most of my time on music, not on my job or daily routine.

6. Lucidflow: If you had an infinite amount of time and money what would you do:
Well, that’s quite hard to decide. May be procrastinate all the time, maybe make some music in my new super-expensive studio or maybe travel and try some new things. Maybe everything.

7. Lucidflow: Anything else you would spread to the Lucid world?
Just relax, love each other and don’t do stupid things.

The Wanderer Above The Mists

"This mix contains sounds and moods that will transfer the listener to a mystic realm where foggy atmospheres and moonlit melodies will haunt its travellers. A world that consists of deep electronics where at times subtle ivory keys will rise like autumn winds that sweep through ruins of past days. A strangely isolated place where like-minded souls will cross each other's paths". More info and download: http://asip.me/isolatedmix72
