Impressive, very well done and built from the beginning to the end 🖤

Beautiful mix: now we all love Spencer. He must have lived the best of lives with you.

Sorrow, grief, catharsis, but all from a place of pure, unfiltered love!🤍

Honored to welcome UK-based Caldera to the series, a talented and multi-dimensional producer affiliated with several of our favorite labels along with his Well Street-associated Loop LF alias. Caldera's mix is volcanic, true to form, simmering and vaporous in its first half before igniting in thunderous bloom in the second. From headiness and haze to full-blown percussive workouts, an unparalleled sense of rhythm lies at its core, seismic in its swell. Thank you Caldera!

— Artist Intro —

Timnah signature approach to earthy dance music has been tried, tested and approved by swinging hips all over Europe. Developing her style from age 17 onwards, when she started playing in squats and industrial spaces around Basel, she’s continuously making her mark with warm, reverberating techno cuts from across the spectrum. During her residencies at Hinterhof Bar and Elysia, Timnah‘s sets fluently cover (and transcend) shades of techno, experimental and ambient music, establishing her as a firm favourite amongst dancers and peers. Smooth mixing skills, strong emotional narratives and an intuitive understanding of dancefloor dynamics continue to define her style, seamlessly cruising through the small hours of the night.

A recent unplanned show in Bejing was a rare chance for me to share what I call my 'love songs' - beautiful, emotive records, most of which have been with me for a long time. I've only DJ'd this way a few times, and this is the first time I've got the recording. While many of the tracks have beats, I tried playing them in an ambient way, gentle and simple. Music from: Function, NWAQ, Larry Heard, Plastikman, old Kompakt and Dial-related, a few recent selections + more. Thanks to Lyu Zhiqiang (@mohemann) for making it happen. I sincerely appreciate the people who follow and listen to my sets, I am happy to share this with you.

Known for her hypnotic dives to the psychedelic reaches of deep techno, London-based @freyacaldwell signature style emphasises meticulous sound design and the incorporation of lush and evocative textures. 

Having graced the stages of renowned venues and festivals throughout Europe, she has appeared at prestigious locations such as Amsterdam's De School, the Positive Education Festival, and London's own Village Underground.

Faery's Patterns of Perception 118 circles around echoes, resonances and hauntings, shifting between shadowy low-ends and moments of ecstatic crescendo. Encapsulating the tension and drama held in dnb's darker edges, the mix also weaves in touches of eerie contemporary classical-esque ambient.

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 ~

"Until we are together again"
In June 2023, I said goodbye to my beloved dog companion after sharing twelve wonderful years together. Spencer was my family, my best friend, a constant force in my life, and a source of pure love. His presence always brought a smile to my face, he was truly amazing and beautiful. His departure made me reflect on the fleeting nature of life and the importance of cherishing the present moment, prioritizing what truly matters, and letting go of the unnecessary. During a period of deep grief, I was tasked with selecting music for the first Aurora event. Immersing myself in this process and performing there provided a much-needed release. The music I chose and played was a dedication to Spencer, evoking feelings of something beyond our human experience. I hoped he could hear it from wherever he was.
It was a way for me to say thank you to him for the love, patience, and companionship he had given me. I am immensely grateful for the amazing life we shared and so proud of our journey together. He will always hold a special place in my heart.

EOS Radio - Sybil ◍ Invited by One Instrument

@boursin

Today I am so happy to welcome my friend fka boursin to Deep Mind Music, with a quietly reflective entry for the end of January. 

It was around this time of year back in 2022, that I first remember having a deep chat with fka boursin about our mutual interest in the power of ambient. We were both equally enthused to encounter another AmbientAddict and quickly rattled off artists, labels and tracks for each other to check. I have found in fka boursin a similarly discerning soul, not just in music, but life in general, and his intricate mix for Deep Mind Music reflects his thoughtful character.

A patient mix that rewards patient listening, fka boursin has crafted a narrative that skilfully dances between washes of sepia-toned warm drones, and–as he puts it below–“material sounds”, such as whirling whizzes of machines or twittering birds, which give us a sense of place. The perfect soundtrack to a meditative drift of the mind between thoughts and reality. I have greatly enjoyed listening to it on cold misty walks over the past week, and hope you do too ☁️🪶🤍

Some words from fka boursin about the mix:

When considering the themes for this mix, I drew from the different approaches that Sybil and I use in our work. Sybil says that themes for her come from “more of a feeling/colour/texture than something     explainable” which is in contrast with my desire for explicit material reference points. Though these approaches might be seen as existing on a somewhat linear abstract vs material scale, there is a large overlap in the sonic characters that they each employ. Here, I have deliberately mixed with tracks that perhaps encourage one to get “lost” (abstract) before pulling the listener back into the room using what I consider to be “material” sounds. Paradoxically though, those sounds are often perceived as feeling/colour/texture anyway, leading Sybil and I to the same musical end points. To me, this firstly emphasises the limitations of audio and secondly may partly explain why Sybil and I get on so well.
