"In the last year I've had a really strained relationship with electronic music and also music in general. This mix is an exercise in reminding myself why I love electronic music in the first place and the power of emotion and wonderment it can inspire."

“Thank you to Hi Vis for the opportunity to create and share this audio trip…I’ve included some sounds that date back to what I was hearing my dad play in the house when I was kid like Jon Hassell (RIP) and some exclusive yet to be released tracks from Best Available Technology and a handful of my own that will be appearing on releases in the near future. Eternal gratitude to all of the family and friends/local artists/artists worldwide that have inspired and supported me over the years.”

Out of Season: theorytherapy.bandcamp.com/album/out-of-season

Our Theory Therapy show-turned-label was back on Skylab with Patrin and I at the helm for the first time in a while. The mix features music from and inspired by our imprint’s debut compilation Out of Season, which came out August 6th. It consists of an even larger amount of field recordings than usual, all taken from specific places, some recorded by myself in Sydney but several from different locations including Japan, Belgium, Latvia and Chile. I’ve always personally been drawn to the kind of music that feels tied to a specific location or environment as opposed to some abstract imagined place. It’s something I feel the tracks on the compilation all capture beautifully and I wanted the mix to feel similar. Hopefully some of that translates. Because of the lockdown in Sydney preventing us from recording together, it's me for the first 60 and Patrin taking the reins for the final hour. Thanks for listening. We hope you enjoy.

Hi-Vis for Diane's Hunting Club 2021

'His mixture of lush electronics and his huge smile complements the music scenes of dance music crusaders as well as spirits in search for mellow moods. Invited to festivals and nightlife like Draaimolen, Together Boston, STRP Festival and the former club Trouw, Will has a predilection for spots that are open-minded for new sounds and thoughts. Will has always been respected for his unique and alternative take on music and this is probably what makes him one of the most enduring artists around.' - Will Oirson

Drift Radio @ Open Source Radio w/ Will Oirson

"0-12 Antarctica, air, flightless birds sliding and mating. 12-18 fluctuations in the atmosphere of a Tibetan village, carriages and bells. 18-29 submerged in the Atlantic Ocean, listening to the sound of currents and whales. 29-36 walk through the middle of Changbai forest, rivers and a calm feeling. 36-69 wormhole, 5th dimension, space travel, loss of sense of time. 69-75 coming home after a journey through morphing territories"

Morphing Territories' (@morphingterritories) music explores the delicate balance between power and emotion. Its timeless approach to techno is based on the hypnotic, unpredictable atmospheres of modular synthesis and field recording. Inspired by the nature of his native Switzerland, as well as the music of pioneers like Mike Parker, Morphing Territories is on a boundless quest to perfect the beat. Through tireless improvisation and introverted self-discovery, his finely-sculpted sound constructs push the boundaries of both complexity and simplicity. As an extension of his musical vision, Morphing Territories’ self-titled label presents a full range of psychedelic dancefloor experiences. His own releases there, as well as for labels like KCZ (@benkaczor) and Oslated (@oslated), channel spontaneity and even chaos into purist, deeply-affecting techno trips. The vibe he creates in the studio is developed further by his journeying DJ or live sets, as well as by his mix series Sense (@esnes). Altogether, the distinct avenues create a complete sound world, where the relentless beat of a drum, the trails of driving rhythms and the warmth of soaring pads combine into a potent formula.

HOCast #75 - Morphing Territories

An opportunity to glimpse into the home-listening playbook of an artist is always an intriguing premise for a podcast. It is a chance to build depth and create context for the music that is produced by the artist, as well as what is generally chosen to penetrate the club walls.
 
For Inchmix074, Belgian artist @emily_jeanne has compiled an eclectic selection of tracks, meticulously crafted to slowly unfold over 100 minutes.

For the first quarter of the mix, the ears are welcomed with crunchy, broken sound design paired with the metallic pinball of IDM compositions. The mix progresses into downtempo percussive numbers before breaking into a proper gallop with DnB, 170 & Grey-Area Techno. Putting on the breaks, Emily works her way back to the obscure corners of contemporary ambient and post-club music before bringing the mix to a gentle conclusion; a mix which continues to surprise after successive listens.

This month's Theory Therapy show is pure indulgence. Two hours of music that makes us feel good and a little nostalgic, most of it sourced from old hard drives and defunct music listening devices. We recorded separately again (lockdown continues in Sydney) and didn't chat much beforehand about what we would play, other than placing the emphasis on the songs themselves and less on seamless blends, but I think there's a nice connection between the mixes (yes we both played Grouper). It's a little different from our usual shows but hopefully you still enjoy.

Take a Trip with Tarotplane

"Exploration trip; after crossing the wormhole, I head towards the epicenter of the radio waves I captured. Futuristic melodies change to earthy and organic ones. An immense satellite orbits that wonderful blue sphere. I look at it holistically, in the background that tribal sound sucks me inside. Textures, different landscapes but forming a whole. I can’t intervene anymore, they would discover me and it’s not time yet. With melancholy jazz I have to come back, crying but smiling at the same time."

Slowfoam (@slowfoam) is the sound and DJ moniker of Berlin-based multidisciplinary artist Madelyn Byrd. Their work stems from a curiosity about subconscious realms, the slippery nature of perception, post~capitalist musings, and joy in the mundane. She's currently working on an installation in collaboration with AI, curating a monthly radio show called 'our tomorrow' on Internet Public Radio, and working *slowly* on a couple of albums. Madelyn is also a founding member of the dream~tank and art collective, MOLD, which will be presenting Magdalena Jadwiga Härtelova's 'How Do You Talk Across Distance When All You Have is a Flying Goose' at Cross Attic in Prague on October 30th.

HOCast #83 - Slowfoam

"We could say that a name can evoke a particular style, a genre, a type of beat or podcast. But what if we suddenly discover that this name is a chameleon? A reptile that can quickly change the colour of its skin to adapt to the place where it is. How fitting is the saying: appearances can be deceiving. Welcome deception!"

nueen’s (@nueen) sound drifts through a luminescent and recurring warm atmosphere, endlessly fluidic with delicate pads, indicating an aesthetic influence of the sun, light and mysticism, drawn from his native Mallorca. Nueen’s releases, for labels like Good Morning Tapes (@goodmorningtapes), C minus, Quiet Time Tapes (@quiettimetapes) and APPX (@appendixfiles): showcase a new Balearic rhythmic sound, fusing ambient with echoes of digitally constructed dub-techno.

MORE INFO:

For young Berlin artist INDOME, seeking the stage spotlight whilst fostering a loving community around her is a transformative practice to emancipate from trauma and grief. What might seem contradictory – striving for independence against being emotionally available to her peers – goes hand in hand for INDOME.

Her debut album “Permission To Feel” is the emotionally striking testament of a talented, warm hearted girl with Southeast Asian roots, who grows up to be a woman in the south of Germany and Berlin. In the midst of the turmoil that is coming of age she had to deal with losing her Indonesian father. To process the loss and deal with new questions about identity, she eventually found solace in writing about it. Her album “permission to feel” explores the power of vulnerability: “I wanted to create a space where all emotions are allowed to be felt—whether positive or negative.”

Tracks like “Shame Ya” and “Permission To Feel” deal with shame, emotional repression, and the struggle for self-acceptance. “Island Girl” pays tribute to her Indonesian roots and her father with original field recordings from Bali, while “I’ll Be Alright” offers a light-hearted celebration of friendship and resilience.

Written and mostly produced by INDOME herself, the 10-track album blends intimate R&B vocals with contemporary electronic sound spheres, like Drum’n’Bass and Jungle. While taking the creative lead, INDOME collaborated with a talented cast of friends, many of them creatives from her hometown Freiburg who moved to Berlin alongside her. She wrote “I Choose You” together with her band collective kitch. Band member and experimental jazz artist Calida Ray plays piano on multiple songs. The band’s drummer, Leevi Lamadé alias LOUSELV, co-produced “Blurred Out Path” alongside JOHN PLAYER, another of her hometown affiliates. Just like Euro Chan who mixed the album with INDOME and produced three songs with his Berlin buddy Hazy030.

As part of a young, vibrant creative community in Berlin, INDOME created a visual campaign created in close collaboration with young creative duo Laís Yukie de Souza Takano and Joe Huth alias MEANT2B\ONFILM. The visuals tackle themes like addiction, eating disorders, queer expression, and self-empowerment—amplifying INDOME’s mission to create space for emotional truth and human connection.
