We open our series with an artist we have been huge fans of for well over a decade - Luke Hess.

Born in 1980 in Metro Detroit and subject to the city's mid-90's warehouse parties, Luke Hess has harnessed a deep appreciation for electronic music and the expression of the underground movement.  His background in mathematics and engineering has given him a scientific approach to the dance-floor, using frequencies, tones, and soundscapes to transform surroundings and mood.

This incredible mix was recorded just a few weeks ago at Kenneth Christiansens "Dub Nation" event at About Blank, Berlin. Luke showcases his skills throughout, with tight, precise blends that he's made his signature. We are truly honoured to have one of our favourite ever artists open this series.

The Frontier 001 - Luke Hess

Marco Shuttle @ Noushh, Berlin 13-10-24

This month, we are delighted to welcome Vinsen, based in The Hague, to our series. Slowly and steadily, he’s been crafting a musical realm that drifts between heartwarming melodies, textured soundscapes, and subtle grooves. His mixes and DJ sets reflect a deep passion for storytelling, drawing inspiration from fantasy worlds, sci-fi books, and the everyday beauty of life in his city.

This particular mix was recorded mostly at the enchanting Above Below festival in the UK, surrounded by rolling hills, a gentle brook, blooming trees, and birdsong—a setting that felt straight out of a fairytale. Inspired by the magic of the landscape, Vinsen brought that dreamy atmosphere to The Coombe, the festival’s special ambient stage. The final version has been subtly adapted for a more intimate and conscious listening experience at home.

Conscious Listening Mix Series - 35 - Vinsen (Live at Above Below festival 2024, UK)

Nems-B (@nemsb) returns with a new mix for In Machines We Trust, and it’s a welcome one. We first connected years ago through Silent Season, when he contributed the beautifully drifting Campfire Stories 43 – Capsule in Orbit to Gliese 581. Since then, he’s been quietly building a strong body of work, with releases on labels like Phonons, On Board Music, Oslated, and Goldmin.

His sound sits in that sweet spot between deep listening and forward motion, dubby, atmospheric, and full of nuance. This new mix feels like a continuation of that world: textured and immersive, like stumbling on forgotten machines deep in the forest, still pulsing with signal.

A pleasure to reconnect. Let this one unfold.

Producer extraordinaire and sonic explorer Adam Pits graced the Sauna in late Spring with this other-wordly mix that we've had on repeat ever since. Adam's mix evokes feelings best described using his own beautiful and poetic words: 

"Floating. Suspended by waves of sonic bliss reverberating to the heartbeat of the universe. As the never-ending thoughts dim, the soul grows, knowing that the present moment is all that matters. And in that knowing, the warm embrace of all that is good takes root."

Mantra ๒ is presented by fellow space cat @freybenedikt. He describes this mix as one “For the Birds and the Trees” and we couldn’t agree more.

Listen and dream. here, music is the medicine.

A welcome return to the series for our friend Faru with an inspired hybrid mix that captures the bittersweet essence of summer's farewell.

Faru is a Berlin-based musician, designer and explorer. He is crafting Drone and Ambient music from his nature recordings from around the world. His works have been described as a natural orchestra in a dream-like manner. Exploring movements of nature, noise and harmonics. Labels include Silent Season, Faint and Carpe Sonum (FAX)

About the mix he said:
"This hybrid mix drifts through layers of sound that feel like half-remembered dreams and moments suspended between past and present. It carries a sense of nostalgia, of looking back at places and times that still echo somewhere within. The sounds paint old memories into focus, though never quite as they were. Sometimes blurred, sometimes distorted, always shaped by the way we remember them as individuals. Textures and gentle warmth intertwine, like memories fading in and out of view. It’s music for reflection, for wandering through old feelings, and for revisiting those fragments of time that never completely leave us."

mouseDown (Barcelona, Spain) | ‘Trip on switch’

19:00 pm on a cloudy and blurry day/world but internally the sun is radiant. Great communion of familiar and new faces gathered for the same cause. Serious start. We are smoothly grooving with elegance with delicate emotional pads, on point percussion and beautiful squeeze sounds/residues. Pleasant ear-to-ear stereo noisy sounds or a really present and protagonist mono shaker are key in the middle of all this marvelous soundscapes. We have not realized it but we are wrapped up, as if it was the best blunt, in an unrepeatable atmosphere. Major heart acceleration. Exquisite. Time to take a deep breath and get back on track. The first drops begin to fall, with more and more intensity, just like our rhythm on the worked dance floor. Great and happy vibes make us keep smiling at each other while dancing coordinated from one side to another. A rollercoaster of switched emotions caused by high level palpable cracking textures, sweet aggressiveness soundscapes along with a cosy kick (the whole time) and catchy classy dark and bright synths. 
20:58 pm. Definitely happiness can be found even in the darkest of times if one only remember to switch on the light (trip). On (a) switch trip. Trip on Switch.
