THIRD EYE [Synapses Podcast 0009/2022]

A spontaneous curation by Melbourne's own @katharine-motiontheory :

"It seems more so than ever that these days when I open my email to catch-up it is filled with musings from friends devoted to the future thinking movement. We live in an age now that many of us read about as children, we absorbed science fiction and fantasy novels in our youth. With artificial intelligence now a real thing, with talks recently that it has already become self aware. We like AI, seem to be forever longing to better understand the world we are growing up in. Some of us discovered music and never let go, always yearning to feel the next release on our ears from our favourite artists and bands. @katharine-motiontheory is one of those DJ’s who is always seeking, and we are lucky to have her. Who better to write the code required to appease the darkest of electronic souls. If machines could listen to the music they created it might feel something like this. A perfectly asymmetrical compartmentalisation of sounds circuit bent through quartz locked hearts."

Dart Echo Mix #023 - Katharine

Platform Minimal presents Vector Field. (@the_soulcatcher)

Harmony and Frequency.

As you contemplate the meaning behind these words, you suddenly realize that everything you thought you knew about existence is wrong. The twist is that time and space are not linear or finite but an endless loop, constantly folding in on itself like an origami crane. Every moment, decision, and thought is interconnected, creating an intricate web of frequencies within which we exist. Our perception of control is merely an illusion, as we are simply riding the waves of this endless loop, trying to navigate through the chaos.
In this infinite expanse, we are a tiny speck, yet our actions have a ripple effect that can reach the entire universe. It is up to us to use this power for good, to navigate the in-between frequencies of time with wisdom and compassion. For in this fragile journey, every decision we make can profoundly impact the very fabric of existence itself. So let us choose wisely and do our best to create a harmonious and just reality for all within these frequencies.

Strangers In The Night: Katharine

Phonno @ Tamiras x Ú Series Records - Distrikt Leeds, 17.06.2023

A Lister - Whatcha Doin' (Original Mix)

Slip into my take on minimal.
It’s mostly modern house music, but people tell me it’s minimal techno too. I’ve called it astral:house and sideways house. It’s deep euphoric dance music, psychedelic, soul-stirring and fun. It’s lush minimal for the dance floor.  

Feel where I’m at with the opening record, then space out with an hour of vibration:appreciation, after which I mix some favourite new minimal records with ultra-special digital waves.  I remember moving to wav format way after most of my dj friends, and feeling old fashioned as I carted my vinyl to our Saturday night residency at Elsewhere Bar on the Gold Coast in the 2000s. Now mixing vinyl feels like coming home, as I don’t have to peer at a screen or get my head around a computer in order to make the mix happen.  Most of my online mixes are spontaneous curations made on Traktor using timecode vinyl & aiff files, so turntables have always been my preference. Living in Australia, shipping costs so much, so obtaining new records is a luxury indeed, especially when you have a family’s needs to consider; it feels so good though, and I love them. We live in order to experiment with crafts, and right now, this is where I am and what I do. 

The last track is a Jules David remix of a Timmus piece they called ‘Deflection Perception’. For a long while I was the only one who had it, as time flew by and the fellas kept creating new masterpieces. I dropped it at Revolver eight years ago and sparks flew.  Both Jules and Timmus have released for Motion:Theory:Music, Ben Abrahams, Jules and my electronic music label.  We’ve made parties and held residencies showcasing underground sound for over 20 years, so this label is a manifestation of that energy and we have more pieces from Jules forthcoming, all remixed by world class international artists.  The vibe in this unique piece of music is a glimpse into Jules’ soul, a beautiful peek indeed. The woman sampled speaks in an Australian accent, and talks of “coming home”. She says: ”the euphoria grew the further I walked…”

★BiR ep.07 KATHARINE(ALL VINYL SET)
This journey brings you her amazing set from the recent “Voyage” launch event. 
It’s no exaggeration to say that the event’s success was thanks to the beautiful groove she created. From the ambient sounds of the afternoon to the minimal atmosphere as the day turned into night, her set colored the Sunday afternoon brilliantly.
We’re excited to share this wonderful groove with those who couldn’t make it to the event. She also shared a heartfelt comment with us. Please enjoy this loving journey she has woven into each piece of music.
今回のjourneyは、先日の"Voyage"ローンチイベントでの彼女の素敵なsetをお届けします。
イベントを成功できたのは彼女の創り出す素敵なグルーヴのお陰と言っても過言ではありません。昼下がりのAmbientから日が落ちて夜になるminimalな雰囲気へと日曜日の午後を鮮やかに彩ってくれたsetとなりました。
この素敵なグルーヴをイベントに来られなかった皆様にも共有できることを嬉しく思います。彼女から愛の籠ったのコメントもいただきました。彼女の一つ一つの音楽に込められた愛のあるjourneyをお楽しみください。

☆From Katharine
My mix starts with wholesome pieces - and I was so glad to finally include one of my favorite Howie B tracks.The music spans from back then to right now.
I'm all about generating a groove euphoria so before you know it beats begin, and I mix in some treasured new finds. I like to find that middle way, not too hard, not too light; 'touching' tracks touching each other, generating light & depths.
An hour into my set & my appreciative friends were all bopping together.
The time for quirky jazz infused minimal had come.
A spontaneous extra hour allowed me to play some of my all-side minimal dramas - storytelling through a micro-groove.
The warm heartfelt ending was a reflection of the day, as the core crew & friends, including their talented Japanese chefs, danced with grins,
all so pleased at how the day had rolled out.

私のミックスは穏やかな曲から始まり、大好きなHowie Bの曲をやっと含めることができて嬉しかったです。音楽は昔から今までを行き来します。
私は「グルーヴのユーフォリア」を生み出すことが大好きなので、気づいたらビートが始まり、最近見つけた大切な曲もmixしました。私は、強すぎず、軽すぎず、その中間を見つけるのが好きです。「触れる」曲たちがお互いに触れ合い、光と深みを生み出す瞬間です。
セットが1時間経つ頃には、友達みんなが一緒に体を揺らしていました。
ジャズを織り交ぜたミニマルな音楽の時間がやってきました。
急遽追加された1時間で、ミニマルなドラマが詰まったお気に入りの曲をいくつか披露することができました。微細なグルーヴを通じた物語の展開です。
心のこもった温かいエンディングは、その日を象徴するものでした。コアなメンバーや友達、そして才能ある日本のシェフたちも笑顔で踊り、その日がどれほど素晴らしかったかに満足していました。

☆Artist Profile: Katharine
Katharine has been influencing dancefloors playing sideways house in Australia since 2000, and now makes mixes for collectives around the world who appreciate her take on minimal. She has a unique way, intuitively selecting & slipping between the sublime & mysterious, raw street sounds and an irresistible jazzy micro-groove.  She smoothly threads her sessions together with a strangely satisfying & homogenous groove. 
Katharineは2000年からオーストラリアで「サイドウェイハウス」をプレイし、ダンスフロアに影響を与えてきました。現在では、彼女のミニマルなアプローチを評価する世界中のコレクティブのためにミックスを作っています。彼女は独特のセンスを持っており、洗練された神秘的なサウンドと、粗削りなストリートサウンド、そしてジャジーなミクログルーヴの間を直感的に選び、滑らかに行き来します。彼女のセッションは、奇妙に満足感を与える均一なグルーヴで巧みに紡ぎ出されます。

BiR ep07 : Katharine

This was a spontaneous mixup of music I'd collected to create the VIBE I had in mind....it's a lush psychedelic minimal house set which started Saturday morning's fun.   Picture a delicious Australian bush setting - hills, trees, blue skies & a primed super kooky crowd...

For the Psychedelic Bush Disco party in Poowong, Australia.

It Appears To Be Saturday - Psychedelic Bush Disco - Katharine - Australia

Here we bring you the 7th version of Radio Mesa, thoughtfully curated and mixed by none other than Katharine Abrahams. Katharine is a staple dj in the Melbourne dance community. She and her husband Ben Abrahams run Motion Theory Music and have been throwing parties and dropping beats for as long as they can remember. Katharine's style is funky, minimal, and driving, with a friendly dose of psychedelia. We have been loving listening to her mixes this year and we were just thrilled that she was ready and willing to put one together for us!!! Enjoy!

p.s. the intro features Katharine and Ben's son Eli - "When Motion Theory Music from Melbourne meets Mesa Recordings, you get 'Perceiver'. By Katharine, my mom"

This is one of my favourite mixes.   
The music is over 6 years old (now 9) & came together in an unplanned session that long ago.

If you like the way it makes you think & feel, the depths it hints at, the warmth it generates, then do enjoy my other sets from over the years too.... *vibration:appreciation*

Mixed on turntables with timecode vinyl.  

I originally made it for the Romanian Podcast Series ART E.  The series was curated by Sabina Muller who had gathered a great collection of artists. 

It had lots of hearts which made me feel pretty loved up x

Deep Seahorse Podcast presents: Katharine Motion:Theory

Spontaneous curations filled with sublime sounds, hypnotic grooves, lush astral house & minimal funk *Vibration appreciation*

Motion:Theory are Katharine and Ben Abrahams:

Perpetually Promoting Perception Expansion along Australia's East Coast since 1998 with parties in the Byron Bay Hills and Melbourne, 7 years of Saturday nights at the infamous Elsewhere Bar, Surfers Paradise, with some of the world's best underground djs, and many psychedelic house parties. They are married, have children, friends, animals and lots of records. Their parties have always drawn those who crave it deep, and like to emerge in the early hours enhanced and inspired. Their sound blurs the line between house and techno; slightly sideways & always psychedelic; it's liquid dub for the dance floor. Ben and Katharine play at parties, for collectives and renowned club nights between Byron and Melbourne, while lovingly affiliated with the Killing Time Bar. Be enhanced by their spontaneous mutual vibration appreciation.

"The researcher Majix says our brains are so sensitive, that they are like liquid crystal in response to the magnetic component of the earth. We are sensitive to earth’s magnetic changes, changes in the ionospheric cavity and resonate those frequencies ourselves. We are incredibly complex entities, beyond the layperson‘s comprehension. Our brains are indeed a type of bio-cosmic transducer." Nicholas Jones.

Katharine Motion:Theory - Deep Seahorse Podcast #106

"We are creative creatures, and all motion towards creation is healing. I ponder how miraculously things come together as we work with energy, whether it be finding music while raising children (and ourselves!), mixing it altogether without too much over-thinking and then giving it to others with the intent to bring joy and forge new connections, or engaging in another of the infinite possibilities life presents us." - @katharine-motiontheory

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.

Dart Echo Mix #002 - Qi M0N0

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.

In memory of our dear friend Marc Bartissol.

Marc was not only a radiant part of the local music scene, he was also a member of the MUTEK team, working for number of years translating texts and artist biographies so integral to the festivalʼs voice and identity. A talented musician and performer, he was also an empathic confidante to those closest to him and a funny, kind and delicate soul in every interaction with others.

Unreleased before, this mix was recorded live at MUTEK Montreal in 2016, 3 years before his sudden passing in august 2019.

Rest in Power Marc.

Presented as part of STREAM ON, a project by MUTEK, with the support of the Canada Council for the Arts.

Marc n’était pas seulement une présence lumineuse sur la scène musicale locale, il était également un membre de l'équipe MUTEK, travaillant pendant de nombreuses années à traduire les textes et les biographies d'artistes si essentiels à la voix et à l'identité du festival. Musicien et interprète talentueux, il était aussi un confident empathique pour ses proches, une âme bienveillante, gentille et délicate.

Inédit auparavant, ce mix a été enregistré en live à MUTEK Montréal en 2016, trois ans avant son départ soudain en août 2019.
