Mixtape For W Λ V E S

Mixed from Moscow by @prasdov

The life-affirming selector mix was recorded for us by Moscow musician and event organizer, art director of the creative association @okno-club and co-founder of the once existed promo band @altmoscow - Prasdov. In early March, he self-released the album 'Things Happen'. 

«This mix for me is a mix about the arrival of spring. The playlist for it was collected for a few years. It contains respected electronics maestros, as well as some unreleased works of friends and soundcloud favorites. I tried to put the mix together in such a way that it would be pleasant to walk to along a sunny road - in the city, suburbs or mountains by the sea - and be in a good mood. The first track of the mix (after the intro - a dictaphone recording of a conversation with a cab driver) is a composition by Grisha Gorozhanin from a cassette we released on Alta. As Grisha said, the track is based on a recording of a street saxophonist playing at Chistye Prudy, whom he met while he was walking in the beginning of spring to get flowers. Those are probably the exact circumstances this mix was recorded for»

Prasdov – Mixtape For W Λ V E S 108

Mixed from Moscow by @settimatacca

We are excited to introduce you to a new story brought to life by Moscow-based multidisciplinary artist Apollinaria Kaspars, also known as Settima Tacca.

Despite her cinematic album Wondrous Feelings of Ages Long Gone released on vinyl last year, her latest self-published release, Demos 4 Nobody, has a much more outsider feel. It leans heavily on raw rhythms, minimalist synths, and guitar experiments. Although written four years ago, Polina’s discography today includes another venture in a similar vein: her collaboration with Ksenia Kruchinski in the krautrock and no-wave band Ksyusha. In 2023, they released an album titled Polina.

“I’m sitting in a house in a village near the town of Mozhaysk, looking out at a field through the window. Beyond it there is a mysterious and slightly unsettling young birch grove, an icy river called Iskona, and my favorite little forest with a ravine. That’s where my dog hunts foxes while I sit on different stumps, sipping chaga that tastes like Coca-Cola. When I write music, I take breaks to gaze out this window. Late autumn feels like early spring, except in spring, all the tall grass is flattened after a long sleep under the snow.

This is my mix, recorded in late spring, left lying in the summer grass, and soaked by autumn rains. It has become just as mysterious and slightly unsettling as that grove. But only I know this.”

Sophia Zhuravkova – Mixtape For W Λ V E S 110

Mixed from Tbilisi by @likhoy

We've missed such mixes in the series — a genre Frankenstein, compiled with a barely perceptible thread of the selector's intuition by the creator of the gunshot, airhorn & rewind channel and the @attentionmanagement label — Vasily Likhoy, aka Likhoy.

For the next hour, the devotee of the canonical rave sound will have their heartbeats tested by torn house, electro-dub edits, straight techno, and industrial trap.

«The mix is 80% tracks from sets in 2021-2022 + some rare stuff. Originally, I WAS SAVING them for another Year of the Dog, our series of illegal raves in abandoned places, but the last event was shut down by police long before it was my turn to play. You could call it the perfect version of a peak-time set for friends.»

Likhoy – Mixtape For W Λ V E S 111

"General Patterns" 2x12 out June 20th-
https://mammoworks.bandcamp.com/album/general-patterns

A double pack from Mammo, six tracks digging deep. General Patterns is the first time he’s released a record outside of his own constellation of labels and identities. Something new.

You can file this one under (dub) techno too if you like. Linked to the music he’s made as Puddlerunner last year in some ways, or the texture of tracks like Variable. It was compiled with Short Span following the completion of intense work on the ambient album Landmarks under his given name Fabiano, and quickly brought together an extended set of stripped back, patient, wonderfully rewarding sound. Really beautiful. Some mossy earthy texture, some starlit night skies.

Mastered by Miles.

Art by The Designers Republic.

Mammo - Traversing A Raincloud (Short 2)

Mixed from Saint Petersburg by A. A.

Today we’re sharing a special mix, recorded back in the fall of 2022.
This new addition to the series comes from cultural theorist, music critic, and author of the Telegram channel "ain’t your pleasure" — Artyom Abramov, now known as A.A.

You might have come across his writing and interviews for syg.ma, reviews of the experimental record shop STELLAGE (now relaunched in Athens with worldwide delivery), book reviews for the Gorky project, and many other platforms exploring the edges of experimental music.

«An EBM-ish mix from artists based in Brazil — a country that long ago gave up on the tiresome robotic twitch of ’80s aesthetics and instead learned to channel the best of acid techno, carioca funk, and batucada into the genre. Favela-dance for everyone!»

Tracklist: 
Vanishing Point - Mary Pinchot
Tantão e os Fita - Ich Bin Der Fluss
Dreams - Slug Street Disko
Aghast View - Pay Off (Dub Remix)
Teto Preto - Em D+Ìvidas

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.

Stephen Medeiros, celebrated for his iconic project Kaminanda, returns to Altar Records with an exquisite new EP under his latest moniker, Mykorhiza. Drawing on nearly two decades of sonic exploration, he delivers a captivating psychill-cinematic journey through four immersive tracks.

The opening piece, "Forest Gateway," gently invites listeners into an enchanting soundscape, lush with textured atmospheres and subtle organic rhythms that evoke the serenity and mystique of a hidden woodland sanctuary. Seamlessly transitioning to "Microflora," the artist further deepens the sonic narrative with intricate layers and delicate melodies, each note thoughtfully crafted to echo the wonder of life's minute complexities.

"Empyrean" elevates the experience, transporting the listener skyward with sweeping cinematic vistas and a harmonious interplay between ethereal pads and intricate rhythms. It's a mesmerizing exploration that embodies both tranquility and majestic depth.

Closing the EP, "The Rose Temple" features the graceful vocals of Rebecca Elatiki, whose ethereal voice gracefully intertwines with the composer's rich instrumentation. This collaborative track encapsulates the essence of spiritual introspection, gently guiding listeners through a heartfelt journey that lingers long after the final note fades.

Mykorhiza's debut EP on Altar Records is an evocative, meticulously crafted work that beautifully bridges the realms of psychill and cinematic music. Mykorhiza proves his mastery in creating soundscapes that not only enchant but resonate deeply within the soul.

Empyrean

Mon album instrumental "Patchwork" est une invitation à voyager à travers des paysages sonores variés, à s’immerger dans des atmosphères changeantes, et à se laisser surprendre par la créativité d’un projet qui célèbre la diversité musicale sous toutes ses formes.
Hip-hop, ambient, touches électroniques, influences jazz ou encore sonorités cinématographiques se croisent et dialoguent librement, reflétant ma volonté d’explorer sans limite.
Il s’affranchit des frontières de style : on y trouve des ambiances tantôt douces et contemplatives, tantôt rythmées et percutantes, toujours portées par une recherche de texture et d’émotion.
Chaque titre est pensé comme une pièce de tissu différente, cousue à la suivante pour donner naissance à un ensemble cohérent, riche et surprenant.

“Movie Dreams” from Sasha Smirnova’s record Gone Stray. Driven by urgency and layered beats, it weaves processed vocals through complex rhythmic structures, creating a cinematic tension.
