Ambient

For today’s Sunday Mix, Malibu pulls together a selection of melancholic ambient sounds and soft electronic music, centred loosely around a theme of “heavy hearts, both under the same stars.”
 
With an handful of her own productions – be it under her Malibu alias, or her dj lostboi moniker – nestled alongside music from OPN, Thomas Newman, Lorn and more, expect a poignant mix with a surprise or two sprinkled in along the way.

Sunday Mix: Malibu

Our next deep dive for the Portals series sees a revisit to a genre of music that heavily influenced ASIP growing up. Yes, cheese-and-chords in their full glory; classic Trance music, but with a twist, of course.

Love it or hate it, I embrace classic Trance music for its brilliance of the time, and the impact it had on me (and indeed electronic music) growing up. I’ve mentioned before how the chill-out side of Trance music was one of the many avenues to open me up to more electronic ambient music. But this isn’t the path we ended up taking for this Portals feature… more info: http://asip.me/portals10

German selector Lux, equally known for her storytelling skills in ambient and leftfield electronica, just as she is for her control of the dance floor via diverse house, electro and techno, provides the first arch podcast of 2023. In this serene 70+ minute trip we dive into cascading dub sequences, filtering waves of synthesised melody, and sparse minimalist dub electronics.

Music for non-existing chill out rooms

A showcase of individual tracks from our 2023 label releases and a special continuous mix of select tracks from https://soundcloud.com/djtodos
It’s become somewhat of a tradition since our first annual compilation release in 2019, and each year I find it tough to separate tracks from their album releases in this way. We pride ourselves on delivering an album format, and more often than not, specifically a conceptual album format that works best as a whole. So I appreciate the artists who allow us to separate their musical children for this worthy annual exercise. It’s so easy to skip over releases nowadays - at no fault of anyone but the pace of life and technology today - and so this compilation not only helps us reflect on the year gone by, but also ensures anyone new to the label, or dipping in and out over time, can get a taste of what we have proudly spent our time and passion presenting this year. Please take the time to visit each respective artist's release to realize its full form. 

Not only is separating tracks from an album format a formidable task, but finding a way to combine them in one seamless mix is even more so. Once again, we’ve asked our esteemed todos to provide the continuous mixed version. Creating a flow using a limited predetermined set of music across a variety of styles, moods, and tones is an almighty feat. But no-one does it better than todos. Here, he is left to his own devices as we have grown to admire time and time again, using snippets and samples from many of the releases, but focusing on delivering a long-form mix that stands on its own, using nothing but the ASIP 2023 library of music. 

It was a year that introduced new faces to the label with Iceland’s Gunnar Jónsson Collider providing a spectacular audio-visual experience in S.W.I.M, and welcoming Germany’s Mary Yalex who explored imaginary worlds of fascinating texture and melody. We fulfilled a long-awaited foray into more classic trance styles through the exciting Mikkel Rev, and finally presented the magical drums of Alex Albrecht’s heart-warming soundscapes. Max Würden continued his foray into expansive sonics with Landmark, and Quiet Places returned with their second Volume of psychedelic long-form trips into the unknown. One Million Eyes returned with more compelling genre-defiant magic, and OKRAA brought his live edits of his debut album 1994 to life once more. 2023 will also be remembered as the year Brock Van Wey’s Earth House Hold project came both full circle, and full stop. The last track title on this compilation coincidentally represents the perfect swan song for a project that has found a home on ASIP for the past five years. 

Thanks for all your support, comments and encouragement this year. We have an exciting 2024 lined up.

We proudly present to you the 50th Far Blue concept which is created by Tokyo based ambient DJ Chris SSG. We’ve been a fan of Chris’ mixes for quite a while now, so we are more than happy that he took the time to curate this special episode.

‘I sat in the park and watched the sun set. The blues and oranges blend and blur together, the day gently shifts into night. With that experience in mind, I return home and make this mix. The music captures that transitional zone: beats are present, not for dancing but dreaming. The transitions are gentle and simple, allowing for a sense of space and openness. Old and new, the records are joined together by feelings and memories, the past circling back on the present.’

Oleeva Records Showcase w/ Will You.

An independent record label releasing thoughtfully curated music and art inspired by the natural world. We believe that all art forms should be appreciated and combined to submerse your senses.

Art that inspires art is one of the best forms of inspiration; the auditory inspired by the visual, the visual inspired by the auditory.

This collaboration amongst the artists is key to producing something greater than ourselves. Through collaboration we learn from each other, progress, and add to the strangely beautiful complexity of the universe.

Oleeva Records & Project Indigo Showcase: Lb Honne, Matsssiii & Will You - 10.08.24

Continuum: a coherent whole characterized as a collection, sequence, or progression of values or elements varying by minute degrees.

The fifth stop in our journey through The Continuum takes us to a land of tranquility, introspection and relaxation. And this exercise is guided by none other than Vand. And what can we say about his craft for those who haven't met him? A producer with a special touch for those sounds that tickle your brain, and a live performer who can also be found often behind the DJ decks. From solo lives to collaborative 5 people acts, Vand is as versatile as they come when it comes to improvising with electronics. But his sound, picking both from the deepest to the most playful, strikes a great balance for dancefloor and for "brainfloor". His project Isotoop (along with Shoal) recently materialized into wax, so seems appropriate that their first reference as Voal is our suggestion as a starting point to discover his sonic dishes. 

For The Continuum, Vand has prepared a set of deep and downtempo goodness. Expect ambient scapes, slow-ish beats and breaks, some evocative pads and emotional moments... he masterfully cooked a set that will work for a Zen moment, for a cocktail hour or for a comedown epiphany. 

We welcome Vand to our adventures through The Continuum.

Alastair is the man behind Lempuyang, a UK-based label established in 2021 and deeply focused on dub techno sounds.

Among other artists, Ranges co-founder Roberto aka Hydergine first made an appearance on LPY-03, as part of a split release with Steve O'Sullivan under his Bluetrain alias. Hydergine is due to feature again this November on lempuyang's 3rd year anniversary compilation, alongside some seriously heavyweight names in the deep/dub techno realm. 

Lempuyang and Ranges labels are quite related in their sound palette. Testament to Roberto & Alastair's shared tastes, no less than 11 different artists have released material through both Ranges & Lempuyang.

As with all my previous ‘Reflection’ year-end mixes, I begin with a collection of albums, EPs, and compilations that resonated with me over the past year. From there, I curate tracks to build the mix—a process that’s as much about omission as inclusion. Inevitably, many of my favorite tracks and albums don’t make the final cut, simply because they don’t fit the flow of the mix or get lost along the way. There are plenty of albums I played on repeat that aren’t included here, but I enjoy this process much more than creating lists. 

As I remind myself each year, this isn’t meant to be a definitive “best-of” list. Instead, it’s a snapshot of some of my favorite music from the year, distilled into one cohesive and listenable format. Compiling these mixes under self-imposed restrictions is my way of revisiting and celebrating the music I’ve loved critically, while sharing it with you in a way that’s both meaningful and accessible. For me, listening back to these mixes is like flipping through an audio photograph, capturing the essence of my year in music and invoking memories from special moments.

I encourage you to use this mix as a jumping-off point—dive into each artist, explore their albums in full, and check out the labels behind the music. You can find a Buy Music Club list linked below to help you dig deeper. If you’re curious about the broader scope of music I’ve supported this year, my Bandcamp collection is always up to date.
