“Here’s a little half-cut mix I made for Bar Part Time for when you’re feeling a little tipsy. An hour of hazy pop and woozy dance music with Japanese IDM-Pop, Scottish breakbeats and even a little Paul McCartney thrown in. Could pair well with a Pet Nat?” - @jamietiller

As part of the Wire magazine’s residency at our Bleep X shop in Dalston, editor Derek Walmsley interviewed Firescope records label boss and 1/2 of B12; Steven Rutter. Briefly afterwards we were treated to a rare live performance from Steven, who had brought down a selection of gear from his studio for the night. In this recording, hear him testing out ideas for new tracks to soundtrack the dystopian future with his unique brand of truly timeless techno.

Danielle (Ambient Special) on NTS Radio - 19th October 2021

A Tribute to Richard H Kirk (1956-2021)
by @rvds

Richard H Kirk Special - RVDS - 14/09

Number sixty presented by someone who I've watched in awe over the last year or so, as she continues to develop and blossom. Anyone who knows Clem ( @tangerine_tangerine ) would quickly think to her humility and talent, which make her Tangerine project so special. 

Clem has become known for cutting edge live electronic sets (& producing individual tracks) which span from ambient electronica to industrial techno, somehow in a deep, classy and seamless fashion. Not only this, but her DJ sets never fail to reveal a unique and exciting curation of dance floor songs and beyond. 

Beyond her own music, Clem is currently in the works of planning absorb (alongside Kavil @absorb-label ), an extended party at the incredible new miscellania club (18th Feb - save the date!)

Thank you so much for this incredible mix Clem!

Animix Sixty: Tangerine

‘For home use only’ is an anti-club social, a chance to get to know someone/something. A series of transmissions purely dedicated to exploring the other side.

So, here we are again, partaking in part-time life with a part-time attitude. Who’s up for a little break? God knows we all need one. Considering how chaotic things are at the moment I think it's time we get a bit of respite in our lives, in the form of an audible vacation. Sit back, sip an imaginary cocktail on a fictional deckchair, on the deck of a mythical cruise ship.
The captains of this cruise are Chomley, the terrible twosome, on their never-ending quest to make your life that little bit better. 

The Naarm based duo are fluent in fairytales, putting the mind at ease and your feet to good use, weaponising their talents across all different types of dance floors. Their mix’s hit every single time and this one hits hardest of all. 

I think I’ve (subconsciously) kept this mix to myself, because I find it so special. I’ve had to snap myself out of the greed and let the world experience the profound beauty of the 4 hours that follow, after a click of the play button. It truly encapsulates the aesthetic of FHUO and then transcends it; A mood for every day of the week, uncovered gems in every playthrough, truly a gift that will keep on giving long into the future.

This mix has been my rock for the past few months now. 
Things are pretty dicey out there, and this has been pure solace, a sense of romantic respite in such a chaotic time. 

Alas, no longer should this be enjoyed by me solely, it’s time for you to take the plunge. 

You’re welcome. 

Stay kind. X

Anderson looks after Escape Process this month with an hour of his trademark blissed-out, proggy sound. Lots of top dance floor fillers inside.

Escape Process w/ Anderson - February 2022

Album "Fountain of Inspiration" feels appropriately holy and harrowing, eight cryptic processionals of keys, strings, sitar, backward whispers, and percussion, like hidden hymns for forbidden temples. Conceived as a suite of imaginary ancient Grecian compositions for organ and sampler, the songs thread the saga of a sacred Greek Spring and the nymph Castalia 

If the arcaded courtyard is the centre of Vienna University, then the Castalia fountain is its heart. It was created in 1910 by the sculptor Edmund Hellmer.

"I am Castalia, daughter of Achelous. My sleep is dreaming, my dream became knowledge." This inscription in Greek can be found on the right and left of the fountain's statue. Castalia, daughter of the river god Achelous - depicted here as a snake - is the nymph of the Castalian Spring at Delphi and is known to inspire poetry and wisdom. The spring water is supposed to provide those who listen to its babbling with inspiration and wisdom.

In Greek mythology, Castalia, pursued by Apollo, throws herself into the anointed spring at Delphi which has since borne her name. It is a relatively rare subject in the applied arts of the modern era but does feature in the fountain statue group by Antonio Ammanati for the Sala Grande in Palazzo Vecchio (1555-1563). In poetry, Castalia appears in Heinrich Heine's work for example.

My sleep is dreaming, my dream became knowledge

Album "Fountain of Inspiration" feels appropriately holy and harrowing, eight cryptic processionals of keys, strings, sitar, backward whispers, and percussion, like hidden hymns for forbidden temples. Conceived as a suite of imaginary ancient Grecian compositions for organ and sampler, the songs thread the saga of a sacred Greek Spring where the nymph Castalia drowned while escaping Apollo, and where visitors to the Oracle of Delphi bathed before receiving prophecy. 

Castalian spring flows from the rock Fleboukos, which was called Yabeia during the ancient years and flows out at Pleistos valley. The waters of the spring reached through a pipe the fountain with the same name, which is located between the sanctuary of Apollo, where the Castalian Spring was dedicated during the ancient years, and at the ancient Gymnasium at Delphi.

Ajam Media Collective's Mixtape series is back with a special guest mix from @Baxtak of Outtallectuals. Be sure to tune in and read the accompanying interview.

"This mix came to fruition as an attempt to use the Ajam platform to show artists who are critically and uniquely engaging with music that is often cordoned off into the “world music” sphere. Instead, Outtallectuals takes these sounds as influences to deeply connect with, rather than cliches to reproduce and slightly modify. To bring more context to this project, I had a chance to ask Baxtak, about the label’s past, present, and future.

***

Ajam: You often present music on Outtallectuals that would perhaps be classified as “world” or “ethnic” music in more conventional formats. How do you navigate the often sticky connotations that comes with presenting this type of music?

Baxtak: I suppose we try to find ‘world’ fusion music that has something to offer beyond just using ethnic sounds. There’s a very fine line between sounding fantastic and coming across cheesy. For this reason, we do our best to promote ‘ethnofusion’ music that blends the organic elements of world music and most up to date electronic production skills. ‘Ethnic’ elements are gateways to our ancient roots and they are best utilized when giving growth to new branches and leaves, while the electronic elements represent technological advancement. The plant metaphor works perfectly to explain this; the deeper the roots, the stronger the foundation, and the higher the plant will go, opening new and lasting horizons. We basically try to be the Sequoias, rather than the weeds."

Leaves lose their effervescence, stroking the strings of the ground as they bring us into the colder months. Such is the sound that resonates out of Chris SSG, our next guest from Japan. A master of mesmerizing, emotive passages, he is known for his careful consideration, patient execution, and sublime selections. As co-founder of the now-defunct MNML SSGS blog and event series and a resident at the semi-regular Sound Garden chill out parties, he has spread his infectious love for boundless forms of music far and wide, reaching audiences across the globe. After hearing his acclaimed mixes for podcasts such as Electronic Exploration and Mysteries of the Deep, we are ecstatic to have him contribute to UNRUSH. So grab a blanket, some tea, and watch the eternal processes of decay and rebirth unfold before you with this very special session from Chris SSG.
