Mixes

In the world of inspiration, some forces stand above and ring out louder than others. Chris Widman-- producer, co-host and co-founder of Abstract Science Radio-- stands among them. With over 25 years at the helm of Absci Radio and +1,000 episodes delivered to the Chicago airwaves and beyond, Widman's legacy is nothing short of phenomenal.

For this episode, unleashed in the wake of the full moon in Aries, as the seasons turn towards the sublunary majesty of decay and repose, join us for a massive 90-minute journey into the bass-driven, subterranean impulses of contemporary sound design. As a whole it is remarkably spectral, propulsive, tectonic in its weight, and revelatory in its resolution. 

From Chris, "...this mix was commissioned long ago. during which time, the great andrew weatherall died, inspiring me to scrap a carefully curated playlist + compile something new along the slower tempos the "guv'nor" championed. the result weaves together related threads of techno dancehall, dubwise breakbeat, blunted electro, african/diaspora club (+ inspired versions), + inescapably, two favorite weatherall projects."

Camu @ temple chptr. 1.

Camu says about:

"For this inaugural edition of Temple, another new adventure alongside Josephine, I approached the set in a natural way, with only a few secure tracks and others chosen from many I've selected over months but haven't played for one reason or another. Given the volume of music circulating nowadays, my premise is mostly not to repeat them, a manifestly failed attempt to give visibility to so many creative and talented agents.

Horizontal listening events are my favorites. If we add that they are among familiar and new faces, it is in these moments where we can unleash our imagination without complexes and in a comfortable environment. If, in addition, it is playing at home, as is the case at Espacio Perpendicular, the result is perfect.

Long live Temple".

"With closed eyes, I'm transported to a forest, surrounded by the scent of pine and wet grass. Sunglasses on, I settle into a camping chair as the psychedelic downtempo beats of the second day at Parallel Festival unfold. Feeling completely at ease, I sway to the music, and later, I rise from the chair to float, ensuring this magical moment becomes a cherished memory."

Recorded at Paral·lel Festival 2023 (@parallelfestival).

"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. Even though it is intended for deep listening, it sounds best at high volume with proper bass."
