an ode to reverie and the softness of dancing feet in the sand 

"This mix is a laid back ride through warm, dreamy and introspective sounds. Moving slowly and steadily, creating a space where you can drift and settle into."

Thomas Gram delivers an introspective and daring mix, a sonic journey shaped by 20 years of musical exploration. Moving fluidly between ambient, techno, breakbeat, dubstep, and jungle, the set unfolds like a living collage. Despite its wide scope, it maintains a sense of balance throughout, held together by a delicate blend of organic textures and electronic depth.

The mix dives into lower tempos and sub-layered atmospheres, pulling the listener into a shadowy, almost subterranean world. Shifting rhythms and evolving structures invite a focused, embodied listening experience, one that challenges without ever losing its emotional thread.
Refined through 21 iterations, this is a deeply personal selection that reveals Thomas Gram’s uncompromising approach and passion for experimentation. It stands as a tribute to the vast spectrum of underground sound that has shaped his path and an invitation to experience that legacy through his ears.

We could not imagine a more fitting Podcast Series contribution to soundtrack the peak of our of summer than this lush dubby mix recorded by the New York via Chicago DJ & productress Eden Aurelius 🦋

Back in April last year, the inaugural record on the Glaswegian label co:clear lands in the crates at Phonica Records and it steals the show. It was the debut release by Eden Aurelius titled ‘Plateau’ with it’s soft-edged downtempo take on dub techno dancing through clouds of ambient textures and perfectly embodying that netherworld in between ambient and dance music that is the beating heart of Introspective Electronics. Over a year later, we are so grateful and proud to have Eden feature on our Podcast Series with this stunning hour-long recording 💕

Nothing else to do now but to plunge into the dubwise depths of this magick mix where tender energy ebbs and flows in the spaces between not-quite-ambient and not-quite dance. It’s in the liminal space of the soft cracks in between. Aren’t you curious to hear? ✨
