I am back home and it's Christmas week. I don't celebrate Christmas, but it's nice to have some quiet time for myself - there is no work this week and the streets are empty because everyone has gone back home for celebration. Sitting in my apartment alone, I started thinking about this time of the year when I was a kid, and one thought came into my mind - cannot imagine winter without snow. That white, fluffy powder that you have an urge to eat, and then you get a cold after that, but your soul feels so happy. Looking outside of my window now, I only see grey clouds and naked trees but no snow, and a sense of nostalgia and melancholy creeped on me. Is it actually winter if there is no snow on the ground?

Back for the 28th edition of our mix series and it’s a special one!

The extremely talented amuwa treats us to a 2hr set recorded live at lovejoy’s re:charge last month! Prepare to be swept through an echoing maze of tantalising textures as heavy hitting, tripped out bass and minimal psy summit towards a DnB finale.
As well as being a stellar dj Joshua has displayed a wonderful selection of productions, his “Force Majeure” ep needs no introduction getting countless plays throughout 2022. Rolling subs and propulsive drums are engineered for impact, couched within mutating synth arrays for truly hypnotic dance floor experiences.
On top of all this Joshua is responsible for the consciously curated party unsung in Sydney.

We hope you enjoy!

For the tenth installment of New Palm’s seasonal mix series, we’re honored to invite @diskonnected - one of our favorite selectors, our recent guest in LA, resident at Hong Kong’s famed 宀 club, and the mastermind behind Taiwan’s Smoke Machine @smokemachinetaipei series. 

We have long been fans of Diskonnected since locking in to his extended sets on the shores of Hualien at Smoke Machine’s flagship Organik festival a decade ago. Hearing his sound both hone in and expand out over the years since has been a continual source of inspiration for us and a big influence on the kinds of sounds we gravitate towards. 

We’re pleased to present Diskonnected’s mix of left-field ambient, experimental, and downtempo, recorded live at a chill-out night at Taipei’s Pawnshop @pawnshoptaipei in 2021. Thank you for sharing this with us 🙏

We trust it will hold up to repeat listens, and hope the moods within will be a fitting soundtrack for the changing season 🤲 Enjoy ~

Next up on Tentacular is @a-m-u-w-a —  DJ and producer hailing from Sydney/Eora. He has been a strong go-to and inspiration for the past few years. It was delightful to meet him in person this summer during his visit to Paris. Born and raised in the urban sprawl of Sydney CBD, amuwa now brings a decade of musical development to a culmination, seamlessly blending design and emotion.

Make sure to check out his debut album, 'Force Majeure' if you haven't already. The EP draws from formative experiences immersed in the sounds of city noise, industrial zones, natural amphitheaters, and packed dance floors. Familiar strains of electro, trance, and bass music shift and meld into new, hybrid forms, driven by a synthetic-organic logic. We’ve also seen a remarkable track, 'Goblin' featured in the first @a-biotic VA. Definitely keeping a keen eye on what's coming next from him. I've had a chance to listen to a few tracks in preparation, and I can assure you they are sizzling hot.

He shared a few words about his recording:

"This mix represents my recent interpretations of the many unexpected and somewhat unusual stylistic crossovers between previously isolated areas of the wider modern electronic dance music soundscape. In this way, I wanted to tell a story of energetic ebb and flows within a higher tempo and how diverse faster-tempo music has become and is experienced today. We hear moments of hypnotic, half-time, and heavier sensibilities, and my goal was to place these moments in a stimulating and influence-melding narrative. I adore the work of the artists included in this mix, and I hope you enjoy listening.”

I truly enjoyed it and am very happy to share this with you now. Thanks for your trust and for joining the Tentacular family, Josh.

Tentacular revient avec un mix de @a-m-u-w-a , DJ et producteur originaire de Sydney/Eora. Il a été pour moi une référence forte et une source d'inspiration au cours des dernières années. C'était un plaisir de le rencontrer en personne cet été lors de son passage à Paris. Né et élevé dans l'agitation urbaine du centre-ville de Sydney, amuwa apporte dix ans de développement musical à son apogée, mêlant harmonieusement design et émotion.

Son premier album, "Force Majeure", est à (re)découvrir d’urgence si vous l’avez manqué. L'EP puise dans des expériences formatrices immergées dans les sons du bruit de la ville, des zones industrielles, des amphithéâtres naturels et des pistes de danse bondées. Des souches familières d'électro, de trance et de bass music se déplacent et se fondent en de nouvelles formes hybrides, animées par une logique synthétique-organique. Un autre morceau remarquable "Goblin" est sorti sur le premier VA @a-biotic. On garde un œil attentif sur ses prochaines productions. J'ai eu l'occasion d'écouter quelques morceaux en préparation, et ils sont bouillants!

Il a partagé quelques mots à propos de son enregistrement :

"Cette mixtape représente mes interprétations récentes des nombreux croisements stylistiques inattendus et quelque peu inhabituels entre des zones auparavant isolées du paysage sonore plus large de la musique électronique moderne. Ainsi, je voulais raconter une histoire d'oscillations énergétiques dans un tempo plus élevé et montrer à quel point la musique à tempo rapide est devenue diverse et est vécue aujourd'hui. Nous entendons des moments d'hypnose, de « half-time » et de sensibilités plus lourdes. Mon objectif était de placer ces moments dans une narration stimulante et influente. J'adore le travail des artistes inclus dans cette mixtape, et j'espère que vous apprécierez l'écoute."

Un véritable coup de cœur pour moi que je suis ravie de partager sur tentacular <3

Hyperterranean #021 with Tangela

Exciting Eora based artist for #148 of the series. Joshua aka @a-m-u-w-a sparked my curiosity when I heard a sublime minimal tech demo/forthcoming tune via some friends in Melbourne. His style is distinctive and bassy, yet simultaneously swampy & mysterious This mix a delicate showcase of breaks, psy-infused grooves & the likes.

Thanks so much for this one Josh it's a pleasure to have you in the series!

A series of sound journeys into the cloud world of bULt


bULt Mental Technologies w/ bULt Aisana (21/02/24)

translation below

черные подолы
тлеют на земле.
ветер раскидает
угольки во тьме.
ее больше нет здесь,
и за три версты
в утреннем тумане не найти следы.

гори, костер, гори!

ах, согрелись все стихи в моей груди,
растает лед,
пройдет и твоя боль и тоска
растопит их моя (твоя?) искра
ах, согрелись все стихи в моей груди,
растает лед,
пройдет и твоя боль и тоска 
гори, гори, будь ласка!

острые колени,
мягкие шипы,
золотые вспышки —
тени до луны
«ее больше нет здесь» —
улыбнулся ты.
я тебя увидела в капельках росы.

гори, костер, гори!

eng:

black hems glow on the ground. the wind scatters embers in the darkness. she's no longer here, and for three miles In the morning mist, there are no traces to find.

burn, bonfire, burn!

ah, all the verses in my chest have warmed up, the ice will melt, your pain and sorrow will pass, my (your?) spark will melt them away. ah, all the verses in my chest have warmed up, the ice will melt, your pain and sorrow will pass,

burn, burn, please!

sharp knees, soft thorns, golden flashes — shadows to the moon.
"she's no longer here" — you smiled. I saw you in the dewdrops.

burn, bonfire, burn!

The lovely French pixie @bambi-dj for #154. Based in Paris, she has a mostly show on @rinse_france & is a regular resident at both the wonderful Macadam Nantes & @@hypersoft_bln 

Her sound is textured, kaleidoscopic & unearthly - full of surprises but somehow always warm & inviting.  She has been an exciting artist to watch blossom in recent times. A. perfect fit for the Animix series.

Thanks Célia!
