Hailing from sleepy Vermont and now based in the beautiful Hudson Valley, our next guest is a talented synthesist, live performer, and DJ. Together with his Delayed family, he’s also the co-founder of the lovely Never Late record label.

Warmly welcoming Griff Fulton, aka Aspetuck <3

“To me, this mix is an homage to my experience at Mostra, distilled into a very short amount of time. I wanted to break it up into a few different moments - ambient, downtempo, and drum & bass. The first two are styles I’ve been dabbling in a lot more recently, but drum & bass is very much new territory for me.

Jay and I first got in touch back in September. When we started discussing a mix, the platform was fully ambient, drone, and experimental, and I had some ideas slowly coming together about what my contribution to the series could be. At one point, though, Jay mentioned we could push my mix back to the end of May - one month after Mostra, a festival in Barcelona we were both really excited to attend. I jumped at the chance because I wanted to see how the festival would influence my mix. It was undeniable that it would focus me in a way I wasn’t quite aware of yet.

Around the same time, Jay decided to open up the platform to some deeper dance floor sounds, which gave me the opportunity to create a mix that builds in energy and unravels over time. I wanted to leave some room at the beginning of the mix for the more experimental sides of ambient that The Observatory is most known for. I included a couple of my own live modular jams from the past couple of months, sprinkled amongst some favourites from artists like Andreas Tilliander, Jan Jelinek, and Shifted.

From there, I bring in some slower tempo, hypnotic, “eyes-closed groove” tracks, as I label them in my Rekordbox. Right around halfway, a Loek Frey track with a nice long intro ushers in a drum & bass / halftime section in the 80/160 BPM range, followed by a brief conclusion.

Recorded in one take earlier this month after a very inspiring trip to Barcelona - thank you, Mostra, for the endless inspiration <3”

A veritable staple of the Japanese scene and founder of the Protection label, Haruka joins our series with two hours of delightful, liquiform groove recorded live from Kyoto. Expansive yet dialed in with tireless precision, Haruka’s set transitions between eyes-down introspection and buoyant, infectious energy with ease. To witness this level of craft enveloped by such a warm and vibrant aura is an absolute pleasure, and it’s easy to imagine oneself suspended weightless in Haruka’s element. Thank you Haruka!

We warmly welcome Dani & Irimias (@danisivar & @irimiass) to our WHiTMIX series with a live recording from their 2024 set at MNMT festival @monument-podcast

The Stockholm-based diggers discovered a shared love for diverse flavours of music, through their initial connection at Monument in its inception years. Forging a long-lasting friendship you can feel reflected in their mix.

"We had a lot of fun playing this set together as we felt a lot of freedom to do our own thing with the timeslot (23:40-03:30), playing on the second stage (Haven) and knowing the festival very intimately. It was especially fun as we had played there the year before as well together with @celadon, opening the main stage on Saturday. So to get to do a night time set with some weirder selections was a blast.

This section of the mix is from the middle of the set and we felt it represents the overall mood the best."

Tune in to their immersive selections as they guide us through the waves of free, electronic expressions

Thank you Dani & Irimias.

WHiTMIX #23 | Dani & Irimias (live) @MNMT 2024

Resident Stelios Bouboukis (@silent-stelios) has created an immersive, two-hour mix to get us in the mood for Bleep43 Inclines on 11th October 2025 at The Bath House, London. Stelios has mixed tracks from our wonderful guests with music from his extensive collection, travelling deep and wide. 

We’re very much looking forward to welcoming you back to The Bath House with a listening session for those that like to lie down and those that like to dance. Over the course of the day and across two rooms we’ll present sound healing, experimentation, deep listening and dancing. We’ll be guided by some of our favourite performers, composers and DJs, delivered on carefully tuned and custom installed sound systems.

In the main room C. Lavender will open the day and set the course with a gong and electronics sound bath.

Luke Fraser follows C. Lavender with a hybrid audio and visual performance mixing generative and interactive elements.

Our third live act of the day is a brand new collaborative project between Bleep43’s Bea Brennan and Minced Oath that was commissioned for this year’s Open Ear Festival in Ireland.

Surgeon will be playing back to back with Dan Bean throughout the day in the main room, carefully guiding us from horizontal sound immersion through to dancefloor release via the the more ecstatic, cathartic and psychedelic regions of their musical worlds.

As well as The Bath House’s main room we’ll be taking over their second room this time with extended DJ sets from Sybil and Ali Wade that promise to explore the boundaries between stasis and movement. 

Tickets are available on RA: https://ra.co/events/2205555
There are a small number of discounts for Bleep43 mailing list subscribers: https://bio.site/bleep43

We are very happy to present you with the 56th chapter in our Podcast Series today, a powerful deep listening mix recorded live at Perpendicular 2025 by our dear friend ~ Horizontal. Setting the scene, imagine yourself laying down comfortably in a wooden cabin deep in the woods at night time, in profound communion with your fellow listeners and letting the sounds collective carry you inwards 🌚✨
 
I first met Paul two years ago playing at one of my favourite ambient rooms at a small gathering in Scotland, then again last year at Backsteinboot in Berlin where we both played as part of an all night sleepover ambient event Rausch. Both times, I was mesmerised by the composure and depth of Paul’s music and demeanour, two qualities that truly shine through in this sublime mix probing the realms of drone ambient, minimalism, avant-garde and electro-acoustic composition 💫

This hour and a half of slithering drones, liquefied glitches, deep nocturnal soundscapes and ritual sonics is occasionally punctuated by narration. It ebbs and flows between barely audible and fiercely present as it deliberately stretches the scope of listening with its passage. The further in you listen, the deeper in you go 🔮

Bas Dobbelaer - Perpendicular 2025

Live vinyl/digital mix recording of an intimate musicnerd gathering from last summer somewhere in Avila. Reached that improvisational free flow state I love and does not always happen, so sharing the recording that the crew shared to us (legends!!)

Been working going deep into this impro approach now with both analog/digital for the last year and a half, a lot of organisation required but love not knowing exactly where I'm heading, even if the result is not as clinical. Its a mess getting the tracklist sorted out with records, if you curious about any track comment here, happy to share!

Big ups JR crew for the invitation, did not really know where I was going and I must say it felt really special place to express freely; listened to such unique sets in there. Thank you!!

Toner, who found Liminal Dreams, a one-of-a-kind collective in the current Tokyo scene, has honed his sensibility through his activities, and his ambient-based set, which he performed from early morning to the finale of the four-day event, was a perfect opportunity to fully demonstrate his worldview. The set was full of tenderness that embraced those who were tired of dancing and those who were ready for a new day in the morning. We hope you will listen to his selections once again as he takes on his new residency at rural.

現在の東京のシーンにおいて唯一無二と言えるコレクティブ〈Liminal Dreams〉の創設に携わり、その活動を通して感性を磨いてきたToner。彼の世界観を存分に発揮できる4日間の早朝からフィナーレへと繋がるタイミングで演奏したアンビエントを基調としたセットは、踊り疲れた人々、また朝を迎えて新しい1日を迎える人々を包み込む優しさに溢れていました。新たに rural のレジデンシーも担うことになった彼のセレクションに今一度耳を傾けてみてください。
