Campfire Stories 13 (Halls of Trees) by Silent Wanderer (@northernshore)

~ About The Story ~

Winter in the forest… the days are getting shorter and darker and roaming thru the woods on a freezing cold winter day makes you wish for a crackling fire. Being out in the wild, especially in darker times sharpens also your senses. You register every cracking of twigs which echoes from one ancient tree to another. Bare trees seem like creatures from another age…Solitude in such a wild, haunting but at the same time enchanting environment lets you search for each and every light in the dark. Your campfire illuminates the gloomy forest and dancing shadows of the flames are casted on the surrounding trunk of the trees. Above the star-bright night and sounds echoing in infinity…Snow, wind, fire and mother nature…the gathering of elements inside the great Halls of Trees!

Campfire Stories 14 (The Gila Outdoor Immersion) by Erin E (@djerine)

~ About The Story ~

Experiencing and creating music outside in magnificent landscapes or wild places has long been of intense interest to me. I find that when carefully curated, this aural experience can deeply affect our understanding and love of a place, and ultimately of ourselves. Similarly, Winter Solstice is the time of celebration of the return of light, the time when the sun stands still before reversing its path back toward the warmth of spring and the season for planting. In my home of northern New Mexico, this is a special day in both modern and ancient indigenous Puebloan cultures – groups from which we have much to learn. Through the study of archaeoastronomy, numerous astronomical observatories and solar calendars used to mark events such as Winter Solstice have been discovered at places like Chaco Canyon and Hovenweep. Although it is technically the longest night of the year, I have found that the return of the light is what draws me to seek creativity and a deeper understanding of the seasons. 

I created and recorded this mix outside on a blanket on the sunny and crisp afternoon of Winter Solstice 2015, nestled amongst the pinon, juniper, native grasses and rocks of the Gila National Forest in southern New Mexico. This story is a journey – beginning with reflection on the quiet of wild places to find peace within ourselves, moving on to appreciating the mysteries of nature, and finally celebrating the return of the light during solstice.  ~ DJ Erin E

About the Gila (hee-la)

The Gila is a place with near mythical status as a wild and remote mountain high-elevation territory, where the mighty upper Gila River's headwaters still run free and un-dammed, and where plentiful hot springs beckon. The Gila was the first place in the US (and world) to be designated as a wilderness area, and has a long history of indigenous settlement, perhaps best known for the Mogollon's Gila Cliff Dwellings. The 3.3 million acres of National Forest and Wilderness area occupies much of the southwestern corner of New Mexico. 

“Wilderness is not a luxury but a necessity of the human spirit.” - Edward Abbey

Feed The Raver - Episode 87 - Unjiin (Seoul, Korea)

This week's podcast is hosted by Deauwd, an Amsterdam based producer heavily influenced by the minimal side of techno, ambient and classical music. Deauwd has been playing piano and drums from since he was a kid. Intrigued by the Ostgut series and later on by the early Detroit minimal, he started making electronic music for himself. Recently moving towards bringing the old sounding techno back into todays music of which you can hear some stuff of his recent release on Float Records already. All in all, he's definitely someone to keep in sight and you can expect more from him in the future. Aside from his main alias, he's currently setting up an alternative more organic sounding project called "Earth to Space" which will see the light of day somewhere next year. 

The podcast he has put together for us is just over an hour of dashing raw / minimalistic techno, as well as being hugely organic and natural sounding. Absorbing into hypnosis. Enjoy!

Campfire Stories 23 (A Dream) by Luigi Tozzi


~ About The Story ~

In spring of youth it was my lot
To haunt of the wide world a spot
The which I could not love the less—
So lovely was the loneliness
Of a wild lake, with black rock bound,
And the tall pines that towered around.

But when the Night had thrown her pall
Upon the spot, as upon all,
And the mystic wind went by
Murmuring in melody—
Then—ah, then, I would awake
To the terror of the lone lake.

Yet that terror was not fright,
But a tremulous delight—
A feeling not the jewelled mine
Could teach or bribe me to define—
Nor Love—although the Love were thine.

Death was in that poisonous wave,
And in its gulf a fitting grave
For him who thence could solace bring
To his lone imagining—
Whose solitary soul could make
An Eden of that dim lake.

Campfire Stories 26 (Evasion) by @hydrangeamusic

~ About The Story ~

I got caught in the stream.
The river that wont run dry.
From sunlight to moonbeam,
a constant cycle until we die.

No dodging,  no evasion, no escape.
The river will run with me.
From the source seed to deaths mouth,
it carries life into the dead sea.

But the sea never fills.
Some souls fly to heaven whilst the rest drown.
And as the souls congregate at the gates,
they'll step through to fall back down,
and do it all over again.

BLOCAUS PODCAST 40 | THE GODS PLANET

After a pause to gather new strenghts, Prior Act is happy to be back with a (long time planned) collab set by Daasnomem: from Karachi, Pakistan where he keeps trying to push this style of techno in a constant effort, the DJ/producer is based in Washington/DC. 

With a background in classical music (piano), he studies sound engineering and hosts parties around DC, he opened for Shifted and SHXCXCHCXSH in the past. Sharing his enthusiasm for the Doors opened by "Sequence" (DC) https://bit.ly/2qziMli, that sheds more light onto the Deep Techno Scene, he started his own collective & podcast Serie called "The Vortex". 

Watching over Saad's work since a while for his steady quality & style, his hypnotic, deep landscapes will let you gazing, yet never fails to hold your attention. Thanks to him & wish you all a nice listening. <3

Campfire Stories 45 (Litha) by El Choop (@el_choop)

~ About The Story ~

Midsummer —
Longest day
Shortest night
Longest light
Shortest dark
The world within
Echoes the world without
Lush foliage, leaves unfurled
Soft springy grass dotted with
Brightly colored flowers peeping through
The earth is green and bright
With warm sunny days
Clear velvety blue skies
Gentle cool breezes
Nature in glory
Our hopes blossom
Creativity flowers
With the season
The seeds of the fruit
Our desires will bear
Can be seen
On the stems
Of our dreams

Campfire Stories 45 (Litha) by El Choop

"Introspection" is the first of a new series that will focus solely on the deeper sounds of Techno. 
If you're a regular listener you'll know that I love Dub Techno, and now it's time to introduce my other music passion.
The goal for this series is to immerse in sounds that are hypnotic and tribal, while (hopefully!) minimising any possible sonic drilling experience.

~ About The Story ~

Praise the rain, the seagull dive
The curl of plant, the raven talk­—
Praise the hurt, the house slack
The stand of trees, the dignity­—
Praise the dark, the moon cradle
The sky fall, the bear sleep­—
Praise the mist, the warrior name
The earth eclipse, the fired leap—­
Praise the backwards, upward sky
The baby cry, the spirit food-—
Praise canoe, the fish rush
The hole for frog, the upside-down­—
Praise the day, the cloud cup
The mind flat, forget it all—
Praise crazy. Praise sad.
Praise the path on which we're led.
Praise the roads on earth and water.
Praise the eater and the eaten.
Praise beginnings; praise the end.
Praise the song and praise the singer.
Praise the rain; it brings more rain.
Praise the rain; it brings more rain.

Campfire Stories 65 (Along the Coast) by Braue

Nigm - LostMix#1

Luigi Tozzi is becoming a regular contributor to our collective. Over the years, he has thrilled us by coming to the Czech Republic to perform his live acts or DJ sets to both Harmony parties as well as the yuggadus club nights curated by Alfred and Yan at Ankali. 

The most recent time (in connection to us), Luigi proved that he is a well-established artist was the release of his remix of Jamida’s ‘Wad II’ [HARMONY003]. A track which is telling about situations you have dealt with and a personality that is moving forward. 

The podcast which he recorded exclusively for our series is turning the mood in the opposite direction. It will creep through a swampy habitat, heavy thoughts and uncertain times. Relating to the current season, which every year evokes strong emotions in people, Luigi once again shows what an always-on-point artist he is.
