As @mmmmalibu, the French DJ and producer Barbara Braccini writes diaristic ambient music with a distinct sense of melancholy. As dj lostboi, she’s more playful, repurposing pop anthems into ethereal epics. 

Alongside a blissful Recognise mix evoking the vibe of “long summer nights”, she chats to Heléna Stanton about these projects, field recordings, the influence of vaporwave, film scores and trance on her sound, and her monthly NTS show, United In Flames

E17 - Fia Fiell: Quiet Sounds of Australia

@boursin

Today I am so happy to welcome my friend fka boursin to Deep Mind Music, with a quietly reflective entry for the end of January. 

It was around this time of year back in 2022, that I first remember having a deep chat with fka boursin about our mutual interest in the power of ambient. We were both equally enthused to encounter another AmbientAddict and quickly rattled off artists, labels and tracks for each other to check. I have found in fka boursin a similarly discerning soul, not just in music, but life in general, and his intricate mix for Deep Mind Music reflects his thoughtful character.

A patient mix that rewards patient listening, fka boursin has crafted a narrative that skilfully dances between washes of sepia-toned warm drones, and–as he puts it below–“material sounds”, such as whirling whizzes of machines or twittering birds, which give us a sense of place. The perfect soundtrack to a meditative drift of the mind between thoughts and reality. I have greatly enjoyed listening to it on cold misty walks over the past week, and hope you do too ☁️🪶🤍

Some words from fka boursin about the mix:

When considering the themes for this mix, I drew from the different approaches that Sybil and I use in our work. Sybil says that themes for her come from “more of a feeling/colour/texture than something     explainable” which is in contrast with my desire for explicit material reference points. Though these approaches might be seen as existing on a somewhat linear abstract vs material scale, there is a large overlap in the sonic characters that they each employ. Here, I have deliberately mixed with tracks that perhaps encourage one to get “lost” (abstract) before pulling the listener back into the room using what I consider to be “material” sounds. Paradoxically though, those sounds are often perceived as feeling/colour/texture anyway, leading Sybil and I to the same musical end points. To me, this firstly emphasises the limitations of audio and secondly may partly explain why Sybil and I get on so well.

My sister asked me to send a playlist to listen to while in labour, which i thought was a really fun task. I’m not sure if it helped, but here is a collection of the songs i sent. It ended up being a pretty self-indulgent exercise, but the idea was that i thought these songs would be nice to hear when you get born, depending on your taste in music as a baby. 

Ideally enjoyed while being born, but suitable for other occasions. 

stars of the lid - the evil that never arrived
annie a - chaque plante, chaque personne
ishq - flowt
the necks - open (partial)
lawrence - dawn
hiroshi yoshimura - wet land
seltene erden - hoidas lake
ulla - hope sonata (partial)
bill evans - peace piece
john abercrombie - timeless
miles davis - in a silent way 
japanes synchro system - pure finger in deep river
satoshi and makoto - crepuscule leger
morgan fisher - meeting and merging 
lonnie liston smith - colors of the rainbow
lifted - mirror in my room 
sue raney - stardust
matthew hayes - fill the heart with hope
frank harris & maria marquez - tanada de ordeno 
electronic system - skylab

Outsiders: Cozi w/ softi (live at Draaimolen Festival) @ Kiosk Radio 19.07.2025

Nocturnal acid lines and swirling, soft rotations meld mental spaces with melodic threads. Downtempo energies and soulful traces of ’90s R&B entwine with lava-lamp psychedelia and interstellar journeys. Smoky, visionary passages and unexpected intervals of ‘80s pop pay homage to the lost art of crate-digging and compilation craftsmanship.

The unmistakable Ivkovic signature emerges: slow-motion BPMs, drum-heavy basslines, and tastefully warped distortion — all blending into a masterclass in futuristic acid.

Experimental club culture shuffles through ISAbella’s grooves, echoing her role as a trailblazer of Barcelona’s queer nightlife and co-founder of the MARICAS collective.

It is such an honour to present the next Deep Mind Music mix, made by one of my favourite artists: tarotplane. 

I first came across tarotplane’s music through a YouTube recommendation, and was immediately captivated by it’s semi-lucid faraway haziness, at once feeling both timeless and nostalgic. I was keen to find more of this amazing music and learn about the artist behind it. I started chatting to tarotplane on Soundcloud, and he kindly sent me much more of his music, I can only recommend going away and listening to all of it to experience it firsthand. It covers the breadth and wonder of what ambient music can be, at once transcendent, beautiful, and mystical. 

I feel so grateful that tarotplane has made a mix for Deep Mind Music, as his music and philosophy about music really embodies what this is all about for me. His addition to the series is a stunning visual journey that seamlessly ties together music both new and old in a slowly evolving, texturally rich, emotional narrative, taking you far far away as it unfolds.

tarotplane says about this mix:

“I don't DJ very often. I really do enjoy it when people are nice enough to ask me. What I like about it is that you can really explore the odd and unexpected relationships between different pieces of music. Sometimes its the actual notes themselves and how they play off each other. Sometimes its texture, sometimes its emotion. I don't let tracks run that long as as general rule because I am always searching for these moments. I think of my style as "action ambient."

When I am putting things together, I am always looking for that 30 seconds where 2 different tracks join together to make something really new. It's always a guess whether it will work or not, but when it does it's a fantastic feeling. It's exciting to put these tracks into new contexts. "
