Many thanks to the wonderful @fernab-berlin crew for letting me play on your beautiful floor. And of course a huge thank you to all the beach babes who shared this magical moment with me.

Much Love,

One of the best aspects of music is its ability to connect people from all corners of the globe. Our next guest comes from Australia, a place which isn't always known for its music but indeed has a thriving underground scene thanks to the hard work of locals. Magda Bytnerowicz is one of these special few who have helped build up the musical landscape around her both as a promoter and as a DJ. Her inspired and dream-like sets have been known to sweep the audience away to a place of pure ecstatic joy. It is exactly this keen ear for atmosphere and deep understanding of musical sequence that has made her a perfect pick for UNRUSH. So relinquish yourself in these impressions of the southern hemisphere with this impeccable mix.

A few words from Magda about the story of her mix:

My young son is an early riser and he went through a phase of waking just before 5am for a few months. It's such a strange time of the morning - somehow 4:45am feels very different to 5:15am if you have a whole day ahead of you. It's still dark, and too early for breakfast and coffee and getting ready for the day, but somehow, we're awake and have to fill the time. This mix is the sort of music I would play in that eerie hour and a bit while we waited for the sun to come up and the day to begin - not really truly 'ambient' as it needed to be a little more active, and feel as though time is moving forward. Also, a little bit of an Australian digi dub focus came out of it too, old and new.

Thanks a lot https://soundcloud.com/magdabytnerowicz

039 - Unrushed by Magda Bytnerowicz

Berlin based cellist and composer Anne Müller, announces the release of her long awaited debut solo album 'Heliopause'. 

Heliopause follows several Erased Tapes releases featuring Anne, including her celebrated collaboration with Nils Frahm titled 7fingers, appearances on Ólafur Arnalds & Nils Frahm’s Collaborative Works, Nils Frahm’s All Melody and his acclaimed soundtrack for the film Victoria, Lubomyr Melnyk’s Fallen Trees, as well as the two bespoke solo pieces Walzer für Robert and Bel Tono for the label’s 5th and 10th anniversary box sets. In fact, a glance at  Müller’s Discogs boasts credits on over 60 releases since she began recording in 2007.

Classically trained at Frankfurt University of Music and Performing Arts under the renowned cellist and conductor Michael Sanderling, Anne Müller performed as a cellist in many of Berlin’s symphonies for some time before choosing a different path with her music and focussing on novel approaches to classical instrumentation. A profound believer in the power of artistic collaboration, Anne’s skilled cello playing and instinctive composition became extremely sought after.

Following her work with Nils Frahm, an enduring partnership with singer-songwriter-composer Agnes Obel ensued, touring for five years together and featuring on two albums (Philharmonics and Aventine) and most recently, working with multi-instrumentalist Markus Sieber (aka Aukai) on his 2019 album Reminiscence. In between all this, Müller also co-founded the progressive live project Solo Collective along with violinist/singer Alex Stolze and pianist/conceptual artist Sebastian Reynolds, releasing Solo Collective Part One in 2017.

A solo record in every sense of the word, Müller wrote, recorded, arranged and produced Heliopause. The album is named after the boundary where the sun’s wind ceases to have influence. It is ultimately, the border of our solar system. The name struck a chord with Müller since the two voyagers sent on an exploratory mission 42 years ago, recently crossed the Heliopause, entering into interstellar space and losing power from our own sun. Müller recognised herself in this moment, not only approaching the same age, but also breaking new ground; having relied on collaborating with so many other stars and now venturing into the unknown with her first solo statement; “Heliopause marks the end of a long journey but also the start of voyages to explore strange new worlds”

Both as the closing title track and album as a whole, Heliopause crosses these physical and invisible borders throughout, sending the cello as a typically classical instrument to exciting new and uncharted territory.

During these crazy times, I found back my love for very slow and calm tunes. This recording is what I want to share with you.
