Oslated Special Mix 081 - cj Rusky

Augsburg & Munich
Germany

Born and raised in Munich, cj Rusky started to discover his passion for music in the early 90s after visiting several Afro-Cosmic events as a teenager. The wide range and style of this underground music, as well as the skilful mixing of Italian DJs such as Daniele Baldelli, Beppe Loda and DJ Yano, had a profound influence on him, and he took his first steps as a DJ in 2000 when he started playing at student parties. 

The emerging Balkan Beats boom at that time, followed by a growing interest in Electro Swing, was Rusky's ticket to enter the club scene – first locally in his adopted home of Augsburg, then throughout Germany and finally internationally, mixing these genres with other global music styles. 

As his musical development progressed, he increasingly focused on the broad variety of electronic subgenres that were rapidly evolving. This is how he discovered his passion for Organic House, Slow Techno and Slow Psy – always combined with elements from global and world music. 

When the pandemic hit, Rusky used the time to discover new music and expand his spectrum. He currently focuses on Hypnotic Techno, Minimal, Dub Techno and Indie Dance, while always continuing to follow his own motto: music has many genres, but no boundaries.

Khey Mysterio weaves hypnotic soundscapes that blur the line between introspection and transcendence. Drawn to psychedelic music and entrancing rhythms, he crafts sets that resonate as much with the body as with the mind. A member of the Ambient Aira collective, he navigates the space between club energy and immersive listening, creating sonic journeys that invite both movement and surrender.

“From dark depths to light: Even in the depths of endless nights. A glimmer lights the way.”

NR Sound Mix 088 Khey Mysterio

n his debut album, raptAGOG draws inspiration from imagined scenes of geological movement — tectonic plates shifting, subducting, and pressing against one another. This hidden but perpetual motion beneath us stores potential energy, waiting for the moment of release, when the earth begins to shift and reshape.

The album opens into a rugged, shifting landscape, where sounds roll and echo in gradual motion. This energy builds across the work, unfolding through cycles of tension and release. Earthy and textural sounds ground the work in a shifting and fracturing geology.

Written and Produced by Fred Small in Oslo, Norway.
Mastering by Eafhm at Secuencias Temporales Studio, México.

Whispers On Elmstraße - mix series# 3

For this edition of the Futurepast podcast, we welcome Synthbiont & Anassimandrus, the ambient / experimental / dub techno project of Nicolò Faggiani and Tommaso Gobbo. Formed in late 2018, the duo merges digital and analogue processes, processed field recordings, and sampling to sculpt immersive soundscapes rooted in texture, movement, and atmosphere.

“Experimentation is always at the core of our process. We start with organic sounds and environmental textures, mostly field recordings we collect ourselves in different places and moments.”

The mix unfolds as an exploration of identity and intuition, a dialogue between tribal rhythm, granular synthesis, and spatial depth. Their sound has been shaped by both familiar and unexpected influences: Spekki Webbu, Sarah Wreath, o.utlier, Astral Industries, Adrian Newgent, and the collective energy of Modem Festival.

Opening with one of their unreleased tracks, the set carries the raw momentum of their upcoming album work, a hypnotic drift through sound and transformation, where each layer resonates with motion, memory, and change.

Description:
After recording "Granie Demo3 - Lyra Dreams The Halloween Edition" (Ref. [1]), I had to have a wind down session just jamming out, or was it going more hyper -- you be the judge.

Tracks 1, 2, 3 and 4 were recorded DAWless on the Granie, feeding it the Soma Lyra 8. Granie is my granular synthesiser Ref. [2].

Track 1 used a definite tuning library, whereas for tracks 2, 3 and 4, it was all modified and improvised. The tuning is listed below, negative frequencies meant play backwards, these were the grain play-back frequencies, which may differ to the human perceived frequency.

Grain Bank 1 frequencies [Hz]:
1: -1.635
2: 0.265
3: 0.985
4: 1.465
5: 2.165
6: 2.865
7: 4.165
8: 12.465

Grain Bank 2 frequencies [Hz]:
1:14.
2: 3.
3: 13.
4: 20.
5: 25.
6: 32
7: 28.
8: -2.4

Grain Bank 3 frequencies [Hz]:
1: 3
2: 14
3: 17
4: 22
5: 23
6: 25
7: 41
8: 47

Grain Bank 4 frequencies [Hz]:
1: 117
2: 122
3: 125
4: 129
5: 131
6: 136
7: 141
8: 40

The tuning was determined one grain bank at a time, all by ear, ensuring each new bank's ith note worked well with the next bank's ith note.

For track 5, I was curious what the tuning of track 1 would sound like with a fixed discrete tuning instrument, so took the raw track 1 tuning and put it into Ableton Live, an exact replica of tuning but with no granular synthesis human perceived tuning corrections. Some selective octave reduction was also used, this tuning is shown below:

ID, Bank, Local, FreqRatio, Cents
0, 0, 0, 1.000, 0c
1, 0, 1, 0.162, -3150c
2, 0, 2, 0.602, -877c
3, 0, 3, 0.896, -190c
4, 0, 4, 1.324, 486c
5, 0, 5, 1.752, 971c
6, 0, 6, 2.547, 1619c
7, 0, 7, 7.624, 3517c
8, 1, 0, 1.070, 118c
9, 1, 1, 0.229, -2549c
10, 1, 2, 0.994, -11c
11, 1, 3, 1.529, 735c
12, 1, 4, 1.911, 1121c
13, 1, 5, 2.446, 1549c
14, 1, 6, 2.141, 1318c
15, 1, 7, 0.183, -2936c
16, 2, 0, 1.835, 1051c
17, 2, 1, 8.563, 3718c
18, 2, 2, 10.398, 4054c
19, 2, 3, 13.456, 4500c
20, 2, 4, 14.067, 4577c
21, 2, 5, 15.291, 4721c
22, 2, 6, 25.076, 5578c
23, 2, 7, 28.746, 5814c
24, 3, 0, 1.118, 193c
25, 3, 1, 1.166, 266c
26, 3, 2, 1.195, 308c
27, 3, 3, 1.233, 362c
28, 3, 4, 1.252, 389c
29, 3, 5, 1.300, 454c
30, 3, 6, 1.347, 516c
31, 3, 7, 0.382, -1665c

I used a bell instrument, ok, this is weird, the tuning, not the instrument, but it worked, 8 notes for each of the Granie banks, strung together into 32 notes and just stuck with only using those 32 notes. I realised I needed a timing track, so picked a drum set and set the Push2 midi controller into 1/16th repeat note mode and improvised some drums into a 21 bar section. Improvised on the Bells track into 18 bars. Put the percussion and bells into looped playback and improvised on the Lyra 8 -- one take, improvised tuning oh ya.

This was all done in the session view of Live, then bounced into the arrangement view ready to play back and do the mastering by putting in volume swells for interest.
