"i ve always had a bit of a split personality between really fast,
loud or sensous bangers and all-envelopping, thick-padded, soothing
ambient. in the past i got to share my poppy obsessions du jour directly on the dancefloor back when clubs were still a thing and i was running a silly,
chaotic and very gay monthly party called saint hollywood.

with almost all of my coping mechanisms suddenly unavailable and a bunch of
writing to do, i ve spent most of the past year digging for soft, soothing sounds i can listen to over and over, especially at times when i can barely listen to music at all. 

lexi inviting me to contribute to one of my fav series has been an amazing gift and i hope this little mix does it justice <3"

"I recorded this mix at home in London over a sultry July weekend. It starts with one of my favourite Jon Hassell tracks, 'Blues Nile', a piece he dedicated to his beloved dog. Hassell was an absolute master of gauzy, hypnotic music - rest in peace and thanks from my heart.

The photo I took some years back near Cape Tribulation in northeast Queensland, moments before I was chased through the rainforest by a six-foot cassowary."

"The mix begins not on the turntables, not in the record crate, or the project file. It begins
when i catch an idea, maybe while reading or cooking a meal or drinking a cup of coffee. I
will think of the songs in my mind and it usually starts with a block of two or three songs. 
From those primary ideas, i will formulate a direction or mood that i'm trying to convey.
To me, a mix is a short story, and i may rearrange the story many times before i feel
like what needs to be said is said in the clearest way possible. This mix started from
what i recalled of the landscape of the coastal Pacific Northwest while listening to the
space and phrasing in Grouper's song 'Kelso.' That led me to where i was when i recorded
the parts to be used in the track 'Chetzemoka.' From there, all the ideas began to come in. I pulled tracks from my hard drive into the project and the puzzle pieces began to fit. Much of
what became this mix are tracks that really excited and inspired me over the past year. I truly appreciate the opportunity to be able create a story for Beyond/Below and hope that you, as the listener, enjoy this tale."

"I began putting the selections together around last winter, this mix is a reflection of the listening headspace at that time.

Photo: Sean Jacobi - BWCA 2023

"We spent three nights under incredible auroras on a spit of bedrock beside a remote glacial lake in the North Woods just before the fall equinox this year. Prepared listening to further grasp the significance and connect deeply with our experience has been the ritual. At the center of each trip, and mix, was the glimmer of opportunity to see the lights. At this confluence of time and space, in the midst of powerful reflection, we let the music do its thing at the listening point on Omega Lake.

Keep looking up."

"The vision + photo of a winter sunset on Lake Michigan became the starting point. From there, the mix evolved into three movements that were influenced by the Metro/Smartbar "23 Hour Party People" chill room sets through which I first got to know Hi-Vis.

"If there is one event that I have had the fortune of playing that feels like it seeps and oozes with the same spirit that motivates the wonderful mix series Beyond/Below, it is the annual ambient gathering, Chillits, held in Northern California each year. For that reason, I am honored to have a live recording of my set, recorded on site at the gathering in September 2024, welcomed here alongside so many brilliant ambient mixes. Grounded in a memory of traveling to Avebury with my father, this offering is dedicated to my brother, all of the hard-working free-spirits that tirelessly organize radical musical gatherings across the US and around the world, and to the recently departed Max Carpenter.

As expected for an event like this, the playlist is an approximation and likely has many gaps and unexpected additions. Mastering by the one with the metal plate, Jonathan James Carr."

"Now the circus played our town one day
And three Bengal tigers got away
And the manager look right straight at me
Said he, 'Now here's your opportunity…
Somebody's got to go on and get them cats…
The tiger man is sick in bed
Now all you got to do is put on your hat and coat' he said
'Because the man who catches them alive
A real hero he's gonna be…
Isn't that wonderful?' he says. 'a real wonderful chance for somebody…'

'Yes sir, Yes sir!' I said…'I agree with you!'
'A wonderful chance for somebody else, not me.'"

"Thank you so much to Lexciya for inviting and trusting me as someone who is neither a musician or DJ, but merely a giant music nerd, to put together my first ever mix for what is very likely my single favourite series! I feel incredibly honoured and humbled to be here, and to be honest can still hardly believe it!

"I’d never done anything like this before and it was a learning process to say the least, and while I know I’ve got a long way to go and a lot more to learn, I’m happy to say I’m quite pleased with what I was able to figure out as I went, and hope others will enjoy listening to this as much as I do. To be honest I never saw myself doing this, but now I feel like this has opened me up to a whole new world of creative expression that I haven’t tapped in to in many years, and I can’t wait to keep exploring this a bit more. Thanks again for the opportunity and to anyone that gives this a listen. "

"Listening to this mix is like sailing into a horizon at dawn. It draws you towards a steady line perpetually in view, creating an experience of both distance and nearness. You realize you will never reach the line but that’s ok — it was always there, hovering within you. This is not about arriving at any kind of external destination. It’s about presence. The sun draws its pastel curtain and day imperceptibly emerges. The water is glass; you don’t even notice that you’ve been out on it for a long time. When you let yourself float, transcendence becomes attainable. There are no high crests or crashing waves here — instead only a center point that invites you to focus deeply and let go."

Artwork by Carly Barton

"Fan Club is an intimate community-focused celebration recurring quarterly on the solstices and equinoxes of each season. To usher in the new Spring (2019), we gathered in a modest structure in the forest near Silver Falls (Oregon). The fusion of energy provided by the fresh snow and impending Spring resulted in a night of mystical improvisation, becoming more hypnotic as the dark transformed into morning. This mix is a section of a near 4-hour recording using cdjs and turntables— diving into a fungi fueled trance that collages questionable tempos into new ‘scapes."

It is a collection of sounds and excerpts from pieces of music that have been personally healing for me when I've needed reflection and stillness during times of chaos and uncertainty.
