Lately I’ve been on the hunt of chill, dreamy, ambient, non-dark, non-violent, non-extreme, warm, soft, cuddling, comfy, yet not too cheesy nor downtempowy mixes / podcasts to wake up, to go to sleep, to put on when friends are coming for a cup of tea, for a Sunday morning, when working (and wanting to focus and not track ID every second), etc.

Anyway I’ve put on a playlist of my favorite findings, thought this might interest some people out there. 

Thanks to those amazing artists who produce and/or blend together those music

Cheers 🐡

Awakenings Podcast S272 - Anahit Vardanyan

In this edition, we are thrilled to feature a mix from a true stalwart of the scene, Joachim Spieth. Spieth, a familiar name to our Delayed family, is an outstanding producer and a formidable DJ. As the mastermind behind the always-reliable AFFIN record label, his dedication to precision and meticulous craftsmanship is evident across diverse musical styles. From the drone ambient music tales that soothe the soul to the hypnotic rhythms that propel us into the depths of techno, Joachim Spieth is a maestro who wears many sonic hats.

Spieth's mix takes us on an aural expedition, steering clear of the conventional. It commences with a dubby, hypnotic, and ethereal allure, setting the stage for an enigmatic voyage. A beautiful dichotomy unfolds as the soundscape envelops the listener, balancing expansiveness and intimacy. In the dimly lit caverns of clandestine warehouses, Spieth's wizardry weaves a tale designed to enthrall without resorting to the clichéd "banging techno" trope.

A transformative moment beckons around the midway point of this odyssey, where a nebulous haze descends upon the dancefloor. Lost in the undulating waves of sound, the crowd becomes tangled in the enchanting atmosphere Spieth has meticulously crafted. At this juncture, the mix undertakes a distinctive shift reminiscent of a deep-sea exploration inside a submarine, plunging us into the depths of Spieth's musical imagination.

Local Eora/ Sydney talent Charley Fester aka Command D (@commandd) for number #141. Having only been producing music for a couple of years, Charley burst onto the scene with an inspiring ray of enthusiasm, skill & output, with releases on outputs @purespacefm, @companionmelb & @minimal_collective.

The talented producer & dj has quickly marked his signature sound, dubby & smooth as silk, oozing a specific warmth and groove which listeners can quickly recognise as Command D. Keep an eye out for a forthcoming release by Charley out on Animalia, due out very soon :) He's also working on a debut live set which he'll showcase over the Australian summer. 

Thanks for the mix Charley!

Mutual Dreaming with Aurora Halal and deep creep @ The Lot Radio 09-28-2023

The Other Side returns for its seventh season as if it was still its first. Trying to do things differently in order to avoid getting stuck in a loop. Keeping it fresh and up to date whilst bridging the gaps between the past, the present and the future. Curiosity is the key to an open mind that takes in as much as possible and filters it back out to the discerning ear. This continuous mix of aural delights will always be a comfort zone in which you can disconnect, relax and come back to a safe place.

It started as a winter postcard of Home, a snowy day in Germany, on 16th of January, a longing extension of an August rainy day and heartfelt goodbyes, and that’s when our beloved Vladimir Ivkovic sent us a love note and a hug through his sound.
One of the most special people opened our hearts with his very special mix and now we are at bliss!

Hodge wasted no time getting started. Bulldozing his way through last year with a series of releases on Hotline, Berceuse Heroique, Tempa, Livity Sound sub-label Dnuos Ytivil and more recently releasing a double-pack through Untold’s revered Hemlock imprint, the Bristol-based producer has made quite an entrance, identifying a singular sound through a series of stylistically diverse releases. Following on from the feel-good house project Outboxx, the Hodge moniker has provided an outlet to explore murky, low-end fuelled techno, echoing the percussive, bass-heavy hybrid of Livity Sound and frequent collaborator Peverelist. There’s a similar community spirit evident in his mix for us – focusing exclusively on unreleased and forthcoming material from likeminded producers such as Randomer, Logos, Gramrcy and Rhythmic Theory. Mining the fertile ground between steely, heads-down techno, the twisting rhythmic perversions of the UK’s hardcore lineage and more abstract electronics experiments, it’s a mix that harks back to the heady, dubplate-filled sets of dubstep’s recent past while remaining resolutely forward-facing. Heavy stuff. More info here: https://crackm.ag/2UXYeRy

ItaloJohnson operate a zero bullshit policy. An uncomplicated musical vision that rests on preserving intimacy, sociality and space in the club, the faceless trio have been making a name for themselves since 2010 with a series of hand-stamped 12” releases showcasing their timeless house sound.

The collective expanded on their no-frills musical vision in our recent feature with them. Off key fondue parties and records "handstamped by virgins" aside, guiding the three is an underlying imperative to make decisions for the right reasons: their anonymity nothing more than a method that works well for them, something that relies on a sociality that the internet has effectively negated over the years. More info here: http://bit.ly/1J8uI0T

You don’t go to see ItaloJohnson play – you go to party with them, and that’s exactly how they like it. More info here:

Chicago native Justin Long asked me not to write a description for his mix here, but if we didn't it would do him somewhat of a disservice, so we'll try to keep it short and sweet.

Justin has been playing around Chicago for a long ass time and has seen clubs like Medusa's and countless others come and go. He has been influenced by that lineage of great djs in the city coming up in the 80s, has taken his cues, and expanded on them developing his own unique and amazingly dynamic style of playing records in a club. He's held a resident slot at Chicago's Smartbar for 10 years plus (right?) and his Hugo Ball party is one of the only events bringing in true cutting edge djs and producers, from the U.S. to play. So without further talk we let Justin's mix speak for itself...hear this veteran do his thing...
