q. pls introduce yourself…
Hello, we are forest.exe (Sven and Silvan). We run a label that focuses on ambient, avant-garde and experimental music. It is called Jurassic Ambient Records. The name is inspired by the Jura forests in Switzerland, where we live and grew up. We create our own mixes and also release guest mixes as well as music from friends and anyone interested. We started about four years ago. Over time, we gradually moved away from technoid sounds and club culture, and began experimenting and mixing together within the genres of ambient, experimental and drone, where we felt more at home. For us, it is essential to connect music with the wellbeing in nature, which is also the origin of everything.

q. is there a story behind the mix?
This time we created the mix with Ableton in Sven’s home studio, nestled near the Jurassic forest — not, as we usually do, in a rehearsal room with a Pioneer setup. It was a warm and luminous day at the very beginning of summer. Surrounded by nature, we let the atmosphere guide us, working spontaneously and intuitively. Instead of CDJs, we wanted to explore a new approach, giving ourselves more time and space to shape the flow. This allowed us to engage more deeply with each track and to sculpt the transitions with greater precision.
The result is a mix that feels reduced and calming, almost dreamlike, yet still carries a quiet strength. It mirrors the uncertainties and concerns we feel about the world, and the question of how we might navigate through them. We dedicated an entire day to the process, with pauses, a few beers, and long conversations about the value of music and the character we wanted this mix to embody.

q. what’s the best way to enjoy your mix?
Step into the forest, put on your headphones, leave the world behind and sink into natural, calming sounds. You might wander along the paths and lose yourself in the embrace of nature, or sit quietly on a tree stump, listening to the mix while observing the subtle life unfolding around you. This is, in essence, what our name forest.exe is meant to evoke.

q. describe a favourite object in your living room...
Silvan: My favourite object in my living room is a handmade ceramic piece with an organic, natural design. I discovered it in Krakow last year during my visit to the Unsound Festival.
Sven: Hehe… epic indeed. My favorite object in my living room is a triptych of three Japanese woodblock prints. In the first, several farmers brandishing katanas burst forth with fierce cries. In the second, a lone farmer leaps dramatically over a waterfall, sword in hand. And in the third, a bear flees from the oncoming attackers. The imagery is raw and powerful, yet strangely inspiring. I don’t know the artist or when the pieces were created — but stumbling upon them in an antique shop felt like a stroke of fortune, as if they had been waiting there for me.

q. are you working on any projects right now (music or not music)?
We are both working on new music, though it often takes a lot of time — which can be challenging, since we both work more or less full-time as social workers, and Sven also has children. Still, we meet regularly to create ambient mixes, discuss musical developments, and continue shaping our vision for the label. Through it, we keep releasing new mixes as well as music (EPs) from ourselves and from other artists.
What we love is that this project has been with us for quite some time, and we can move at our own pace — deciding how much energy to put in, or when to slow things down. That way, it never becomes stressful, because we are not chasing success, but rather sharing our musical principles and offering others a fresh listening experience. We are also searching for a spot in the forest where we can record outdoor mixes, letting nature inspire our music even more directly.

PREMIERE: YS - Drift [Pace Yourself]

PREORDER: https://vertigoperth.bandcamp.com/album/vertigo-001

@vertigo-perth is a Boorloo/Perth-based event series-turned-label, making inaugural noise via its debut VA, 'Vertigo 001'. With a variety of talent from both at home & interstate, as well as appearances by international voices Stones Taro and Will Hofbauer, the compilation is an impressive debut which politely demands attention.

Boorloo-born turned Naarm/Melbourne-local @cheahdx's offering to this debut, premiered here, is just as impressive. The artist, increasingly known for his ability to traverse a wide variety of genres & tones, has delivered a spacious, dubby and driving track in the form of 'Su Casa'.

Of the track, CHEAHDX shared:

“'Su Casa' was a track I first started tinkering with back in 2023 - ironically, it's taken a long time to find a proper home for it.

It's an equal parts dubby/wonky exploration that took me a while to get sitting just right; the final result reflects my growing love for dub and dub-adjacent minimal. I’m really happy with how it sits alongside the rest of the compilation and couldn’t think of a better home for it than Vertigo!"

'Vertigo 001' releases via Vertigo's Bandcamp next Wednesday, October 1.

PREMIERE: CHEAHDX - 'Su Casa' [Vertigo]

djfix is a Brooklyn based dj, producer, and co-founder of Earth Dog Records. Often found in his studio, he sculpts tracks that are as texturally rich as they are dancefloor-ready. His music moves between swung hi-hats, dirty grooves, and lush pads, always balancing flexibility behind the decks with a commitment to his own sound; driving, trippy, and psychedelic. His love for synths shines through in tracks like Seed Cycle, where heavy basslines meet dense, distorted layers anchored by a non stop groove. Inspired equally by the movement of NYC and the stillness of the PNW, he crafts sonic journeys that blur the lines between deep, meditative spaces and high-energy club moments.

"I wanted my mix to capture the contrasts I was feeling while moving between cities and nature in my recent travels. In selecting the music I tried to reflect that combination of textures with nights out with friends, wandering through new spaces, and landing back in nature. It moves from something darker and uncertain into a more club-focused momentum while keeping a sense of mystery. The best setting to listen is on a train or in a car heading toward a soft place to land."

Dart Echo's mix series kicks off with Rings Around Saturn (@rdjm0). Notorious for idiosyncrasy, experimentation, and a wide breadth of taste and knowledge, Rory McPike's 2020 releases saw him jump from fizzing electro on Pure Space to low-ride, dubbed-out bass on Modern Hypnosis. 

His Dart Echo mix is evidence that no genre is safe from the Melbourne stalwart: the journey paces beautifully through the bubbling groove of tech and deep-house with highlights from Galcher Lustwerk and Loraine James and Le3 bLACK. Cognisant of the global predicament, McPike expertly expresses how we're feeling, delivering a mix equally apt for a socially-bubbled lounge-room boogie or a solitary plunge into headphone-headspace.

Qi M0N0 (@qi-mono) arrives with an assiduous selection of rolling left-field sounds with a particular focus on mid-tempo tracks with vocal oddities.

RUPA (@rupa_anurendra) follows with a superb mix of well-rounded electro and modern breaks, beginning gently before cranking the heat up with belters from the likes of Rudolf C and Ex-Terrestrial.

Lily July (@lylyjuly) jumps into the high gears of DnB before weaving an immaculate blend of contrasting tones and sounds that gradually cools down in the second half, all picked out by an ear that is evidently far reaching and curious.

Lara K (@l_arak) smears the lines of conventional mixing by expertly selecting a non-linear myriad of sounds and feelings, leaping from serious head-bangers to more contemplative and wandering tones.

Dart Echo continues to explore sounds emerging from circuitry, orchestrated in pure or hybrid forms by genius, and always affecting people, whether alone or with others, viscerally, cerebrally or both. Recalling analogue sound’s definition, our releases are infinitely variable in nature.
