'WARRIORS' 
------------------------------------------
Podcast For DEEP ELECTRONICS
Compiled & Mixed By GINGER VAG


Bio
**********************
Ginger Vag is the production alias of Panagiotopoulou Evagelia, born & raised in Greece in the late 70s. 
Being a passionated music lover in her whole life, she has a large variety of music influence and a music culture in depth.
Addicted to electronic music, she started mixing for the experience & to discover all the emotional intelligence behind a mix. 
Being hard for her to reach an end in this endless love, that's how she started producing and she's finally proceed in her first release 'Teaser' in July of 2014, 
as an independent name-your-price track in BandCamp platform.
Ginger Vag's debut 'Diamonds' EP was out in March of 2015 by Werkstatt Recordings Label, characterized as an eccentric compilation of quality electronica, 
with smooth bass, deep tech, dub and tribal drops, bonded all together in an experimental atmospheric and electrified cloud.

About The Podcast
**********************
Every podcast compiled & mixed by Ginger Vag has a story to tell. 'Warriors' podcast idea was conceived after a long trip she had in Scandinavia from South to North.
Fjords, glaciers, Baltic Sea & Vikings were her main inspiration to compile a mix to represent mostly artists originating in North.
Her desire was when someone comes to listen to it to be encircled by eternal mountains, unmelted snows & frozen waters.
Apart from the ambience of the selected tracks, she also searched for natural & wild percussions within the tracks that would put listeners in a war mood.
One of the main artists she came across is Swedish Ulf Soderberg, whose unique productions talks about sunken cities, fallen towers, overgrown ruins & forbidden Gods. 
His one of a kind dark eerie soundscapes and ritualistic drums, are combined with his own field recordings from places like Iceland, gloomy Nordic forests & deep forgotten catacombs.
Podcast was mixed in her home studio using Traktor. After that, 'Warriors' intro durated about 10 minutes was built upon the mix with Ableton Live by her brother, sound designer & producer Endov Lane
and finally, the mix had a bit of a mastering process with Sound Forge.

These are her words to every listener :

'' Every single day is a very hard battle for every single one.
The most powerful weapon we can be is to become an instrument of inner Peace.
This mix is inspired by the Vikings but, it is dedicated to everyday WARRIORS.
Special thanks to my brother Endov Lave for this one, 
for the construction of 'Warriors' intro & for being the tough Sound Warrior he is.
Thank you for listening, 
for spending your value time to listen to the story I have to tell.
I'm fighting hard not to be wasted. ''

Live PA recorded in Edmonton on February 20, 2016

UN #48 Chris SSG

Multicast Dynamics [ Field Records ] Netherlands

The mix has a mixture of influences between Asian landscapes, film noir soundtracks, grass fields by night and audiovisual surfaces of the inner space.
Not much to add other than that, just a collection of tracks that help to put my mind to a rest in all todays hectics. － Samuel van Dijk 

Multicast Dynamics aka Samuel van Dijk delivered this much expected mix to us in the beginning of Spring. This mix took us a long time to listen repeatedly, from the moment it starts to the end, we were deeply indulged in the dreamlike whirls. Such feeling lingers apart from the change of the surrounding, it even strengthens with intense stimulation. His music is rich with levels of creativity, and there are also entrances and exits; it doesn’t lose itself because the change of the environment. If you want to obtain more of his information, you can check out field records or his sound cloud. Enjoy.

UN #13 Multicast Dynamics

Hailing from Amsterdam, Wanderwelle's unique brand of invigorating, meditative deep electronica has quickly made a mark internationally. Their creative output is intricate and well-considered, with each release featuring field recordings and deep-lying concepts which draw inspiration from folklore and natural environments.

Following on from releases on @silent-season - including the acclaimed "Lost in a Sea of Trees" from 2017 - the duo has increased their exposure, performing at Isotoop in the Rotterdam, Tresor in Berlin and an upcoming debut outdoor set at Croatia's Modem Festival. Along with this, their contribution to @grandriver 's @oneinstrument project found its way onto vinyl earlier this year.

For their contribution to Patterns of Perception, the duo explore a range of sounds - from lush ambience and deep techno to experimental electronica - that translate impeccably into a single, cohesive yet wide-ranging narrative.

Their next LP "Gathering of the Ancient Spirits" (also on Silent Season) is slated for release later this summer.

@multicastdynamics

Samuel van Dijk is fascinated by contrasts. He explores the rough and the smooth, the loud and the quiet, the cerebral and the visceral in aquatic and naturalistic worlds where electro, techno, dub and ambient are blurred into one. This means that as both a producer and comprehensive live act, the Dutchman can take you from the furthest reaches of outer space to the depths of an oceanic abyss via crackling and frozen tundras. He does so under three aliases—VC-118A, Mohlao, Multicast Dynamics, but all are interconnected and related, with a modular approach to making and performing music meaning that a pumping breakbeat live-set can easily be transformed into an abstract sonic landscape by reducing and modifying elements, playing with textures and reworking structures.

Known by electronic music obsessives as one of electro’s shining lights, the last decade has seen van Dijk excel in both EP and LP format. His achingly beautiful melancholic moods and roomy, absorbing grooves are so fully realised that they work well beyond the club context and have come on top labels like Delsin, Frustrated Funk and Silent Season amongst others. They include highlights like the tension between raw machine sounds and ethereal pads that were explored on VC-118A’s underground classic Vaxna; Shift Register, which was made from largely one-take hardware jams with an instinctive and lo-fi finish, and the slow burning techno of Mohlao’s Landforms LP. Of course, his Multicast Dynamics album quadrilogy on Denovali also laid out immersive ambient worlds in truly escapist ways.

His thrilling sets of guttural and gritty techno, futuristic electro or cathartic ambient are hugely immersive and always emotional, and take him pumping out a peak time festival set, to twisting you inside out with an intimate session in a cosy club or playing an experimental soundscape set in more thought provoking settings with his own avant garde visuals. Whatever he does, though, dance floor experiences are rarely as immersive and emotional as those crafted by this multifaceted artist.

Mysteries of the Deep Podcast, Chapter CXI by Claudio PRC (@claudioprc). Cover photo courtesy of Candace Price.

'With this mix I wanted to experiment with some of the folk music that I collected during these years of traveling around the globe. I wanted to combine a certain type of traditional world music, mainly Asian, with a raw and enveloping ambient and electro-acoustic background. Inside there are aspects of Mongolian, Japanese, Taiwanese and South Korean music culture, together with field-recordings by Hafdís Bjarnadóttir from Iceland and electronic compositions by Eliane Radigue, Pete Namlook, Carlo Giustini, Loscil and Music For Sleep. My aim is to submit the listener to a different approach to listening to folk music, creating a soundscape that fully reflects the experiences and emotions during those travels.'

Tracklist:
1. Hafdís Bjarnadóttir - North (Island)
2. (till end) Eliane Radigue - Adnos I
3. Pete Namlook - Music For Urban Meditation - Part II

Campfire Stories 73 (Vivid Ascension) Severnaya (@conforce)

~ About The Story ~

Ere, in the northern gale,
The summer tresses of the trees are gone,
The woods of Autumn, all around our vale
Have put their glory on.
The mountains that infold,
In their wide sweep, the coloured landscape round.
Seem groups of giant kings, in purple and gold,
That guard the enchanted ground.
I roam the woods that crown
The upland, where the mingled splendours glow,
Where the gay company of trees look down
On the green fields below.
My steps are not alone
In these bright walks; the sweet southwest, at play,
Flies, rustling, where the painted leaves are strewn
Along the winding way.
And far in heaven, the while,
The sun, that sends that gale to wander here,
Pours out on the fair earth his quiet smile,—
The sweetest of the year.
Where now the solemn shade,
Verdure and gloom where many branches meet;
So grateful, when the noon of summer made
The valleys sick with heat?
Let in through all the trees
Come the strange rays; the forest depths are bright;
Their sunny-coloured foliage, in the breeze,
Twinkles, like beams of light.
The rivulet, late unseen,
Where bickering through the shrubs its waters run,
Shines with the image of its golden screen,
And glimmerings of the sun.
But 'neath yon crimson tree,
Lover to listening maid might breathe his flame,
Nor mark, within its roseate canopy,
Her blush of maiden shame.
Oh, Autumn! why so soon
Depart the hues that make thy forests glad;
Thy gentle wind and thy fair sunny noon,
And leave thee wild and sad!
Ah! 'twere a lot too blessed
For ever in thy coloured shades to stray;
Amid the kisses of the soft southwest
To rove and dream for aye;
And leave the vain low strife
That makes men mad—the tug for wealth and power,
The passions and the cares that wither life,
And waste its little hour.

Campfire Stories 73 (Vivid Ascension) Severnaya (Conforce)

Miss Jay's (@jockey_jay) evocative DJ style has a unique narrative quality, flowing seamlessly between aesthetics, moods and textures. Currently based in Amsterdam, her residency at Groningen's OOST club has functioned as the springboard for her seamless sonic explorations through genres, colours, tones and temperatures.

With notable recent performances at festivals including Dekmantel Selectors and Into the Woods, plus numerous performances at cult clubs including De School, Tresor, Radion, and beyond, Miss Jay is a star on the rise.

Patterns of Perception 55 is a testament to her emotionally nuanced, storytelling style – a deep, sophisticated immersion into bass, breakbeat, and drum and bass music.

Neglect (Tucson-based artist and musician Joseph Valentino) is an ambient music project that chronicles the beauty of the American Southwest and Pacific Northwest with sparse, elliptical melodic fragments on guitar and synths. Influenced by sources as diverse as dub, detroit techno, 90's IDM, and abstracted sound art, Valentino's music mines the deep emotional resonance and meditative quality of the endlessly repeating ostinato melody, like Wolfgang Voight's Gas project, Stars Of The Lid, and William Basinski.

@mirella-kroes’ presence in the Dutch techno scene is unmistakeable. Growing up on a diet of the tough, loop-oriented techno characteristic of the north of Holland where she was born, Kroes moved to Amsterdam as her musical horizons began to expand. Having cut her DJ teeth at iconic clubs such as Doornroosje, Trouw, Studio 80 and Cruquiusgilde, she now enjoys exploring musically deep, trippy soundscapes and organically building narratives that use space to upset conventional club rubrics.

Delving into ambient, breaks, electronica, experimental and IDM, her Patterns of Perception 59 perfectly manifests these qualities: a sonically diverse, luminescent mix best suited to private spaces, long journeys, and far-away places.

@ataxia_infernale

Ataxy that is the alter ego of Hamburg based and raised producer David Eßer, who has been producing different varieties of electronic music for over a decade now.
Getting absorbed into a pleasant carpet of sound and sort of travelling trough his music are two of his conceptual cornerstones.
Stretched keynotes seeming to get lost in infinity only cut trough by sharp and rather cold tones creating a complex and dynamic depth of sound. In a metaphorical sense, he wants you to travel trough his music ,reflecting on yourself. It's not about creating something whole new, it's about giving every listener the chance to see her or his own picture of the music.

Tracklist:
1. Tomasz Stanko Quartet - Tale
2. Brian Eno – Stars
3. Carsten Keller feat. Katja - Radiant (Max Würden Remix)
4. Silent One - Lost Souls
5. Wurrm – Placid Reaches
6. Jon Hassell – Darbari Bridge
7. Autumn Of Communion – Telos

Hailing from Naples and well-known as one half of @naturalelectronicsystem, Antonio Giova is a selector and producer of unparalleled talent and vision. Over the course of a career spanning over 1.5 decades, and which includes a tight relationship with the esteemed record label @tikitarec, a collaboration with @neel, and key performances at festivals such as Labyrinth (@mindgameslaby), @wakinglifeportugal and @parallelfestival, Antonio has developed a unique sense of texture, atmosphere and narrative which glows deeply in both his productions and his mixes.

Based on his set from our Winter Edition party at ://about.blank in late-February 2020, Antonio let his intuition guide him with this Patterns of Perception 60. The outcome is somehow both raw and seamless, a vignette of ethereal proportions: eternal and infinite, timeless and dimensionless.
