Resom has the following to say about her set :

"Today marks the 2nd year of the brutal attack on Ukraine. I know some of my Ukrainian friends are going through retraumatising moments again and again. I dedicated this mix to you...to ease your minds...to hopefully support your emotionally.
To everyone else:
If you can pls support Ukrainian activists and peacemaker! This war is insane as all wars are. Support Ukrainian artists or just buy dog food for Ukrainian animal shelters...every little bit helps."

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 🧡🌞🌾

Sybil ~ Deep Mind Music Vol.30

Nestled away in the heart of Osaka, Japan, lies a very special community of artists who nurture the cities unique ambient and experimental sound. It is here that you’ll find Andreas Holderbach, aka Dérive, co-founder/ curator of one of our favourite labels and biggest inspirations, Muzan Editions.

Last year, we had the pleasure of seeing Dérive perform a stunning ambient DJ set in the early hours of the morning at a Muzan Editions x Astral Industries event. Listening to this mix has been a really special way of revisiting that moment <3

The Observatory - Dérive

For the eight installments of our podcast series, we are happy to present Sybil. Recorded last autumn in Japan, when the leaves were gradually changing colors and a mood of melancholy set in, this mix represents, to us, a sonic manifestation of the enduring beauty of Japan's seasonal change. 

It is a mix in which Sybil, ever gently, reverbs between deep layers of dub, beautifully warped sounds, and the occasional elegant beat, took those present across a musical palette as diverse as the colors of the Japanese autumn. Nearly a year later, with the onset of another autumn cycle, we think it is now the time to release this mix. Please sit back, find a good pair of speakers, and enjoy.

Sybil - NLDMIX 008

We are delighted to begin the year with a mix from ASIP (Ryan Griffin), the founder of A Strangely Isolated Place - a label and mix series that has become a cornerstone for contemporary ambient music. Inviting him felt long overdue, and we couldn’t be happier to share this contribution from someone whose work continually inspires us. For this mix, Ryan delved into musical memories, crafting a journey filled with nostalgia and influences. As he beautifully puts it:

"Thank you, Mareen, for the invite to your series. This mix is full of nostalgia, some Balearic undertones, and classic approaches to ambient electronic music, without an agenda. It starts to speak to some major influences on me over the years. Growing up on 90's electronic music, influential summers in Europe, and the formative years of early 00's IDM and electronica. If Unrush is self-described as 'a serene space within the mind that is free from the encumbering stresses of daily life,' then this is music that always helps me get there."

Ryan’s contribution is a heartfelt journey through time, marked by the sounds that have shaped him and continue to inspire, perfectly embodying the unrushed ethos. Let yourself drift and enjoy... ❤️

The Burning Heart

"This No Way Back stream was the first time I’ve performed a set from my home studio. When I was first planning this set, before the pandemic really hit hard, I had kind of a different idea in mind. I was planning something more sample-driven, less melodic. And although I would’ve deeply preferred to be in Detroit for No Way Back in-person under normal circumstances, the fact that I ended up performing from my studio meant I had all of my synthesizers there to use, including the larger ones that I don’t normally have in my live rig like the Prophet-6. I decided to take advantage of that, and the resulting set took kind of a different turn. This set includes some of the music that’s coming out later this year on my album with Mysteries of the Deep. I hope you enjoy."
