a mixtape for going slowly

Continuing the animix series this week is one of the most passionate and talented musicians I know. Max Santilli ( @maxsant ) is a musical chameleon with an incredibly deep and diverse knowledge of music. One half of the Eora/ Sydney duo @angophora , and an avid record collector,  
max has released a beautiful range of releases under the duo and his solo project. 

The warm qualities that shine through in maxes music are reflective of his deeply humble character, and his music never fails to blow me away - beautifully tranquil and always unique. 

Please enjoy this sublime home listening mix.

Thanks again max! ❤️

In a time when we are all longing for some peaceful escapism, I am thrilled to share the latest Deep Mind Music mix from my friend Dream Software. A rumination on the passage of time and the evolution of earth, his mix is an instant a teleportation to the outer realms of our imagination. Soaked in sumptuous ambience, this uplifting mix calls to mind the utopic visions found in psychedelic daydreams. By the end of this one hour and 30 minute journey, I am left feeling much brighter and more hopeful than before 🍄⛅️🌍

Whenever we hang out, Dream Software and I end up having deep metaphysical chats about the nature of reality, consciousness,  our place in the universe, the magical potential and power of music, and all sorts of other fascinating topics. I feel a kindred connection with him in our relationship with music, our constant wonderment at the world we are living in, and our shared joy at pondering the big unsolvable questions about the inner workings of reality. Alongside being a deep and sensitive person and DJ, this year he has launched the Dream Software label, and he also crafts incredible visual worlds as AJAM, which I highly recommend checking out 💙

Some words from Dream Software about the mix:

With this mix I’ve intended to sonically illustrate the passage of time; starting with the dawn of the universe, a cold desolate expanse of meaningful nothingness (or meaningless somethingness), scattered with stars and various chemical elements waiting their turn to be of use to the big metaphysical neural network that is everything. Then, on to the point when Earth was in the perfect balance to accommodate nature, life and evolution, and moving onto the thriving, organic eco-system we call Earth. Ending with a blissful, utopian vision that not only our planet, but our very existence thoroughly deserves.

As we enter the midsummer-solstice season, I wanted to share this recording from a glorious sunny morning last year, now archived on Deep Mind Music ☀️

This is the set I played 8-10AM on Sunday at @comebyefestival in Wales for @umbilicalchords, in their cosy fuchsia~draped ambient dome.

Playing ambient in the early hours of a festival is always really special for me, as everyone’s minds are open and unwound, the gentle caress of nature is all around, and it feels the best backdrop for swirling into imaginal worlds 🌿

Hope you enjoy this wistful meander through tall breezy grasses, golden sunshine, and drifting clouds ~ a mix for daydreaming, nature-wandering, tea-drinking, sunbathing 🧡🌞🌾

Recorded live at 宀 in Hong Kong on November 2nd 2024

After we've carefully set up a few traps, and after Vladimir's extended set for Strange Weather back in October, we can surely say mission accomplished and entanglement's achieved

We like to think that calling him uncompromising triggered the sweetest response: a deffiant cruise barely over 80bpm, only (if ever) reaching a 100 two hours in. But we're only trying to get some credit for these five hours of dignified dancefloor shatter

Because make no mistake, it's been an undoubtedly clubbing experience, with music so excessively fictional but without ever resorting to mime, as like in a dancer's body, with decisions in progress on full display (you know that exact moment, usually before a sequence or combination of movements, that one fraction of a second that happens in a dancer's body - a moment of tension, an unintended delay between the decision to execute a move and the actual execution ; it's not really rethinking or being indecisive - it's another instance in the dancer's body, inseparable from them but remembering things differently, it's an instinct, like right before you wake up, that rarely privileged moment, with only outlines of consciousness available ; a dream is still in progress, but there's potential to intervene as a director)
