After a brief hiatus we are thrilled to launch the latest edition of the breathe podcast with one of our absolute favs, the super talented J-Slyde.

Here are a few words from the man himself...

"I was truly honored in being tasked with the sunset slot on Saturday evening for Chill Island's maiden voyage at Esoteric. 

The view, vibe and beautiful souls in attendance made for one of the most magical settings I've ever had the priveledge of performing a chill set for. Something I hope my soundtrack did justice to. 

Thankyou for allowing me to say "farewell" to the sun under such special circumstances. <3 "

Here are a few words from Murphy...

"During extended lockdowns and long periods of uncertainty in the world my creativity took a nose dive. Whilst I wasn't playing any music or recording any mixes I amassed a few HUGE playlists in Spotify, digging deep and unearthing some incredible music, both new and old. This set was my first opportunity to share some of the gems I had found on the hunt... 

Played to a wonderful crowd on the Sunday evening at Esoteric Festival in regional Victoria, the chance to play on the Chill Island's maiden voyage was a treat that I absolutely loved... enjoy".

Next up in the mix series we have a delightful ambient set created by the talented Melbourne lad, Tim Koren. Whilst he is known widely for his progressive house sets, this mix delves into beatless territory with rich textures and stunning soundscapes. By all accounts he thoroughly enjoyed putting this together and it has inspired ideas for future sonic journeys.

He notes:
"Without a beat so much more focus goes into what key things are in, how to harmonically mix, and what energy each track holds. It was a super therapeutic process for curating it".

Find yourself a nice quiet place to sit and some good headphones for this one, it's pretty special!

Joining the podcast for this episode is a bloke you've more than likely seen on a dance floor somewhere around the world. Despite a long history of globetrotting musical adventures Adzer0 has only recently thrown himself head first into the world of mixing tunes and it's clear to see his passionate commitment to music and the scene flow through to his sets. Trying his hand at a downtempo mix for the first time, we welcome Adzer0 to breathe. Enjoy.

Here's what he had to say:

"As someone with a deep passion for music, I have always been drawn to a vast and eclectic range of genres. But while my musical tastes are broad, my affinity for downtempo electronica has remained steadfast and deeply rooted, making this mix a true labour of love.

Venturing into the world of DJing has been an exciting new challenge for me over the past few years. While I am quite comfortable now with house, techno and drum n bass (some of my other loves), until now I haven't attempted putting together a downtempo electronica mix, and I was determined to curate a 2-hour mix of some of my all-time favourite artists in this genre.

The process of selecting tracks from such a large multitude of talented artists and exceptional tracks was daunting, but my desire to showcase some of the best downtempo electronica led me to curate a selection that I am truly proud of.

Crafting a cohesive and seamless mix of tracks with noticeable variations in bpm and key was no easy feat for me but I rose to the challenge, spending many hours pouring my soul into the process, resulting in a mix that I am excited to share with fellow enthusiasts of this captivating genre".

breathe.019 - J-Slyde - Live @ Esoteric Festival 2023 - Chill Island
Sunday / 12:00am - 02:00am

We're thrilled to welcome back tune aficionado and beatsmith J-Slyde with another brilliant mix... this time it's a live recording from his set on Chill Island @ Esoteric 2023...

Here's what he had to say about the set...

"I find chill sets the most un-chill set to plan for. I always begin with lofty aspirations, amassing a huge bucket of music that travels through BPM, genre and style, with the idea that it will all somehow come together on game day.

As I began work on piecing together this set, I was reminded that they never just "come together".

But that's a big part of why they end up being so special.

Then being offered a platform as beautiful as Esoteric's Chill Island to play such a set, further helping to make things that much sweeter.

It also played part of a 4-hour breathe. showcase, with Simon on beforehand. Big thanks to him for trusting me with such an honour!

The mix is loosely split into 3 chapters which cover lo-fi house, trip-hop, hip-hop, electronica, progressive breaks, lots of weird beats & breaks, some garage, a cheeky slathering of dnb and an amen break for good measure. All as cohesively as I could mix them together.

Hope you enjoy it!! ❤"

Saturday 10pm - midnight

This live recording comes from breathe. head honcho Simon Murphy, covering a range of downtempo and chilled out beats. Played just shy of midnight under a sea of stars and lights it includes some blissed out melodies and a few surprises.

Here are a few words from Murphy...

"So it seems with the passing of time the world seems to be moving a lot faster. It's definitely what has contributed to me leaning into my love of downtempo beats and blissed out melody. They soothe my weary head as I plow through endless piles of work and help provide the soundtrack to my down time. Translating this passion to the dance floor is something that I love to do and I am honoured to have had the chance at Esoteric's chill island.

This mix covers some ambient, electronica, downtempo, trip hop and even some hip hop. The breathe. family took over the stage for four hours with J-Slyde on immediately after me. I hope you enjoy the set as much as I did compiling it <3"

"Designing an immersive auditory landscape has been the focal point throughout the creation of this mix.

Artist comments:
"Above all else, what I love about DJing is the endless hunt for incredible and unique music that I can share with others. I'm an introvert by nature, I don't really like being in crowds and I tend to overanalyse everything. What brings me peace is the music itself. 

I've spent more than half of my life listening to all types of electronic music. It's a huge part of my life and through the love of music I've met most of my best friends and my beautiful dance floor warrior princess (now my wife). 

I love techno. I always have and always will. This however is only one piece of the puzzle. Outside of DJing clubs and festivals you'll find me listening to a huge range of sounds and styles. An unquenchable thirst for sonic brilliance. 

One style in particular is that which blurs the lines between electronica, modern classical, ambient and downtempo. Music that I can listen to through headphones to turn the volume on the rest of the world down. My own microcosmos in a fast-paced world.

Rainbow Serpent Festival is one of my favourite places on earth. It revives me each year mentally and musically. Having the opportunity to contribute music alongside my heroes is a huge honour and one I do not take lightly. 

This set took months to compile and saw me dive deep into the archives for tunes that have inspired me over the past two decades. It's a representation of all that I love about music.

With this set and the time it was played, I wanted people to wake up to warm ambient and soft keys, before building to glitchy electronica and broken beats that would revitalise sore heads. As the morning sun bathed the festival grounds, smiling faces filled the dance floor. 
 
I hope that you enjoy the set and this insight into what drives my passion".

Sunday 28th January 2018 - 9:30-11:00am

Artist comments:
"I’ve titled this mix “Into the Wild” for a few reasons. Firstly, I was inspired by the film of the same name. It’s the story of a young man who attempts to leave behind everything that he knew and reject what society expected from him, only to realise that life is about the connections you make with people. 

Throughout I’ve included samples from the film which helps transition between chapters / sections of the mix. I also see ‘Into the Wild’ as a metaphor for launching oneself into the unknown and accepting the challenges that lie ahead. Ultimately this is what this set means to me as this resonates with me with where I am with my life right now. 

Rather than a linear journey that builds to a crescendo like I traditionally would create, I attempted to let the set ebb and flow, meandering through a variety of sounds and feelings. Hopefully you enjoy the journey as much as I did."

Artist comments:
"Putting together this set was an immensely cathartic experience and helped me deal with some grief I'd been going through at the time. In some ways I feel this reflects the journey it took. 

A few key pieces of music were specifically chosen to convey the sense of sadness one might experience when knowing they have to say goodbye to a loved one. 

Likewise, there are a few that I hope convey the sense of happiness one might experience after realising that they were simply lucky enough to have that loved one in their life to begin with.

With that said I'd like to dedicate this to my Godmother, Antoinette <3 ".

About the DJ...
Narel (Nick Simmons) was introduced to electronic music from a very young age.  As a teen he began experimenting with synthesizers, samplers, decks and mixers which led to DJ performances from the late 90’s and his signing his first releases to Bonzai Records in 2009.  Narel tunes are drenched in atmosphere, effects and melodies with a distinct old skool vibe.  As a passionate advocate of underground dance music, clichés are not found and trends are not followed in Narel tunes.  What you will find is a blend of progressive trance, progressive house, trance, progressive breaks, melodic techno, ambient & downtempo.  Narel is a multi genre DJ ranging from progressive house/trance/melodic techno sets to completely ambient.

About the mix...
Narel’s mix for Breathe showcases a collection of atmospheric, melodic and often melancholy tracks.  The mix was designed to ebb and flow, to engage you and then let you drift away until it claims you again.  It spans many years and genres from early 90’s Caustic Window to recent psybient, sparse ambient soundscapes with spoken word vocals and lo fi dub techno.  It was mixed live by Narel with additional layers and production added in the studio to create an immersive experience.

Tracklist...
01 Narel - Mesmeresis
02 Monolake - Indigo
03 North Hive - Gaia 
04 Narel - The Machines Were Dreaming (Narel's Ambient Version)

About the artist:
Rick Inserra has been mixing up tunes since the late 90s. Influenced by older siblings’ music tastes, he would take any opportunity to get some time on the equipment and play around.  Since then, the musical journey has taken him through the Melbourne underground scene, playing in some of Melboourne’s most iconic dance venues, supporting some of the most influential Local and International DJs in the scene.  Showcasing a variety of dark Prog and Techno, to deep house and funky house, Rick definitely keeps an open mind and ear when it comes to music selection.  But there has always been a love for the ambience of electronica and chill, and the calm of afterhours and early mornings. 

About the mix:
"Some of my all-time favourite compilations are from the Global Underground series, when it comes to chilling out I always get into their Afterhours mixes, and also Nick Warren’s Reykjavik disc 1 was an early standout and influence for me.  

During the long hours online looking for fresh dance music, I sometimes come across ambient, beatless music that would instantly calm me.  I would slowly collect these, and others, until I have enough to put a set together.  So far there are 3 ‘Depth Perception’ mixes in my series.

This set I tried to push the boundaries of chill and build this up to almost make you want to get up and dance in the end, but not quite.  The gathering of tunes took almost 12 months to get together, and with this very select collection, putting the mix together was pure fun.  

I really hope you all enjoy the journey of this mix as much as I enjoyed putting it together".

Once again I was given the ultimate honour of being asked to play at the wonderful Rainbow Serpent Festival this year. For the second year running I took to the Chill Stage to share some of my favourite downtempo and ambient style tracks. I felt completely at home this year on that stage and had one of the more enjoyable experiences playing. There was something about this year’s festival that just oozed joy and happiness. Perhaps that was more a reflection of self, but either way I had an amazing time. 

Hopefully you can hear that joy through the music I chose. 

Enjoy!

Don't forget to leave a comment xx

"After playing my debut chill set on the magical Chill Stage in 2018 I was thrilled to be invited back this year. Playing straight after my long time collaborator and good friend J-Slyde, whose set just after sunrise meandered through warm blissed out beats and trip-hop, I wanted to incorporate some of my favourite modern classical, some downtempo beats and even some warm melodic dubby beats. Some old tunes, some new, some familiar, some obscure, all inspiring to me at some point in my life. The smiling faces on the dance floor filled me with joy as I played this set to help kick off what was a brilliant Saturday of music at Rainbow Serpent. Enjoy xx"

Chill Stage - Saturday 26th January - 7:30-9:00am

"7:30am. Witching hour. It's a special time at Rainbow. Dusty warriors still up from the previous night blend with well-rested day-doofers getting prepared for the twenty-something hours ahead. I approached this set with the hope of finding a happy medium between the two. Beats that might pique the interest of those heading home, hopefully offering some respite, but also music that would re-energize those waking, helping them get ready for the day ahead.

Thanks as always to those that made it down on the day, the awesome Chill Stage crew for being so welcoming, and to Thad for the booking.

Enjoy. ❤️"

Saturday 26th January - 2-3:30am

Some words from Narel:
"The mix starts ambient with a bootleg I made from Markus Guentners 'wenn musik der liebe nahrung ist', Bleur 'singing of forests' and the healing mix of Pete Lazonby's 'Sacred Cycles' then heads into slow bass driven atmospheric breaks.  The middle is mostly floaty dub techno before ending on some techy psybient, dub/dub tech crossover, slow textural techno and Sasha's sort of electro breaks version of The Youngsters 'Smile' from Involver.  I had great fun compiling and mixing this and it was a tremendous privilege to be selected to play the Rainbow Serpent Chill stage".

The latest edition of the breathe podcast comes to us from the mind of accomplished DJ and Producer B-tham, who turns down the pace from his usual offerings and dives deep into his collection to lay down an emotive and enthralling downtempo mix... he notes:

"Lately It's rare that I take the time to create something outside my comfort zone. The practice of creating something outside your comfort is to invoke development within ones self. Listening to different sounds makes you think about different techniques of using music and how you can apply things different not only in your mixing but also with creations in the studio. I implore you to give it a try and step outside the box.

I compiled this mix for a loved one that's going through hard times who also shares very similar music tastes to me. This mix is snapshot of the past and present, showcasing music that I listen to when I'm not in the clubs and I'm trying to rest my mind from the worldly noise we all have become accustomed too. I've tried to place all the tracks in a certain light to inflict emotional release and take one through a journey to soothe ones soul".
