Living Room n°59 - @mu_tate

q. pls introduce yourself
a. Artur / mu tate / mu

q. is there a story behind the mix?
a. it always starts with a few pieces that capture a particular mood or have a distinctive sonic quality that makes me want to build a whole hour of music around. i’m mostly interested in the emotional response that inevitably comes with listening and less so in the production as such. i like to take my time so each mix ends up soundtracking at least a month of my life. here the spoken word bits set the scene, instrumental pieces then try to accentuate and expand on that theme, take it further or in another direction all together. sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t.

q. what’s the best way to enjoy your mix?
a. i mostly record mixes with the idea of home listening since it’s my favourite way to enjoy music. it’s an evening listen rather than morning for this one.

q. describe a favourite object in your living room...
a. a burkhard vogtherr hombre chair that i got off etsy for £70. My favourite thing to sit on and to look at. 

q. are you working on any projects right now (music or not music)?
a. yes and no. we’re still working on some bits for the recent 3XL/Utter record like physical copies and a video. other than that i’m doing things at a much slower pace, exchanging stems but nothing that i myself plan on showing.

Outsiders: West Mineral Ltd. w/ Sleepdial @ Kiosk Radio 07.01.2025

“Corrosiv” by Orchestroll is out 05.30.25.

Preorder the 2x vinyl LP and listen to the first single ‘Velvet Myst’ featuring Heith on our Bandcamp. 

"Velvet Myst" marks the most overtly melodic offering on Corrosiv. A mirage of clarity inside a collapsing system. Rooted in a skewed sense of wellness culture, the track traces a contour from the fetish of regeneration to the abyss of self-erasure. Skincare regimes, biohacking rituals, influencer doctrines fall apart under the weight of a body made porous by microplastics and spectral trust. Through synthetic vocals that stretch and gloss over time, paired with Heith’s disembodied presence processed to near-infancy, "Velvet Myst" slips into a faded Americana shoegaze palette that lingers there—pale, fragrant, near-catatonic.

"Velvet Myst" unfolds in a glaze of petroleum heat, wellness vernacular, landscapes bleached with pessimism. Rejuvenation rituals curl into themselves, skin pulled taut across synthetic promise, the body swelling with trace chemicals and distant voices. Youth loops back unnaturally. Conviction thins; gloss settles over wreckage... An immaculate wound, lit from within.

The record features additional contributions from Heith as well as collaborations with Jiyoung Wi, Habib El Bardi, Bernardino Femminielli and VISIO and is mastered by Stephan Mathieu at Schwebung Mastering.

Living Room n°83 ~ DJ In A Dream ( @anthonyabbadessa )

q. pls introduce yourself:
a. Hi, my name is Tony, I'm a psychotherapist in NYC who loves making mixes . I also love to make clothing and sometimes my own music. I'm a massive fan of the Living Room series and have been a listener since day one. Very excited to share my mix with you all.

q. is there a story behind the mix? 
a. Every song in this one is very special to me. The mix took a few different shapes until I settled on this sequence. There's a lot of voice, a lot of different languages. There are many stories.

q. what’s the best way to enjoy your mix? 
a. This would be best enjoyed on headphones, walking outside. It's best for around 11 am walk, but perhaps the night would be nice as well, haven't tried that yet.

q. describe a favourite object in your living room... 
a. My favorite object right now in my living room is my 1855 Edition of Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman, I read it every day and it has become a sort of religion to me.

q. are you working on any projects right now (music or not music)? 
a. I'm currently writing a dark fantasy / philosophy novel inspired by Borges and Medieval Christian Mysticism. It's taken most of my time so I'm pretty much only doing that, not working on any music projects at the moment.

Rare and beautiful chillout mix from my brother @ezzzrrra

Fifth World w/ DJ Mylar : 08.27.25

thought this might be interesting for some of u who have talked to me about this song and the immense amount of effort that went into it. 

this original demo version was what i would loop on my car stereo while writing the song, probably like 100+ times as i drove around or sat in the grocery store and guitar center parking lots while recording. 

as i continued to update and expand the track, this version, which was at once way too muddy and fucked to sound fully release-able but also somehow better than every other version i made until the final one, would taunt me with how catchy it was. i was so addicted to listening 2 this shit and basically couldn't do anything else until the song was done.

looking back i think it's mostly just that the synth is so prominent in this version and there isn't a bunch of other stuff distracting from it.

i was also horrified at having to call this "vibe check" - i wrote a completely different set of lyrics for this originally which i thought were much more intelligent and meaningful, but when i actually recorded them they sounded totally forced and flat.

the subsequent cringe that followed that recording session was what led me to start writing my lyrics as I was recording based on how different words sounded actually coming out of my mouth. it's like a half-freestyle. i think this is what kanye does based on some of his demo recordings that i've heard, but i'm not totally sure lol, so don't quote me on that. 

but yeah, i realized that aside from typing the occasional catchy line or phrase in the notes app on my phone, there's no point in writing lyrics ahead of time which won't even sound good on the actual instrumental itself. and i think in general, stuff you "think about" is just less valid than stuff you feel in the moment, because you can respond contextually to what's going on when you hear a beat rather than trying to plan some genius thing that sounds awkward and uncomfortable when you actually deploy it in the context where it will be received.

the phrase "vibe check" sounded painfully good on this beat, and i was really groaning about this at the time because i was trying to move away from doing meme rap shit that directly referenced internet stuff..i thought the "vibe check" shit was probably on its way out since i saw anthony fantano earnestly post a fit pic that he captioned with it. lucky for me, the phrase has been pretty meme-lindy and persistently resiliant. we'll see how this song ages over time, but i feel like it came out pretty eternal - the concept of a vibe check is just a basic and powerful human thing that people have always done and is present in lots of belief systems, religious or secular.

so - i like posting the work-in-progresss versions of my album covers on my instagram story, along with the snippets of me making shit. so idk how often i'll do this but i thought it may be cool to show you guys some of the original demos of stuff here on soundcloud like this. enjoy :-)
