Sonic scapes of sound and substance may rouse the keen ear into discovery. When one really listens, everything is music, and when one really experiences, one is everything. This is the theme of "I The Beholder", the absolute power one has on their perception and Aeonium's desire to use this for good, for the manifestation of beauty. 

Over 4 years in the making, I The Beholder incorporates absolutely everything the Dutch multi-instrumentalist has in his repertoire, from several instrumentations on piano, santur, handpan and many more, to tape, synthesizer and field recording, all fuzzed through the creative process of digital production. From oriental house to wicked shuffles, from dubby basslines to ambient textures, this album represents the variety of music and their possible fusions when the listener sets their mind to really listening and taking this process as an active endeavor. Greatly enhanced by the beautiful sounds of Nienke Deiter, Frodi Fransman and Namasterri.

I asked ChatGPT to generate me a DJ set list. Here is me mixing it! Check the full video rundown on Youtube : https://youtu.be/xNHbvemQaoo

Get the Ableton Live template here : https://ko-fi.com/s/9f1ab348cd

The prompts : 

Generate me an entire track list for a DJ set. the bpm range is 125 to 131. Start off with bass house. At track 15 move through to garage. At track 20 move through to techno. 25 tracks total.

Generate me a list in the format Artist - Track, and give me a sentence for each track about why it would be good for that slot in the mix.

Generate a table of all these tracks. Include the BPM, the Key, how many bars the intro has, how many bars the outro has, how many bars from the drop until the outro, how many bars the build up has, three words on why it is good to mix, and three words on why it would be difficult to mix.

Next up in the Diffraction Mix Series we have FNQ producer and selecta, FLOW-TEK/DRIPCRAFT. Alfred is a massive supporter and mainstay of the Far North Queensland festival community. FLOW-TEK is an integral player both on the decks and on the dancefloor. He creates a mood and space reflecting the quintessential FNQ character… Progressive and reflective of his natural surroundings, with a huge low end to keep you moving!

FLOW-TEK / DRIPCRAFT is the progressive trance/d’n’b/psy project from producer Alfred Stewart. Hailing from the lush tropics of far North Queensland his signature sound is an earthy melodic pulse... with a touch of redneck and a swallow of moonshine comes a whopping bassline with a crisp and well-structured finish.

Alfred presents with the stage presence of a well-seasoned punter, his sets guiding you through a subconscious safari, while diving into the thought process and brainwaves of himself, leaving nothing behind except pure intent and good memories.

FLOW-TEK/DRIPCRAFT frequents the stages throughout Queensland, and Australia with his focus on expanding into the global circuit.

Big ups and massive thanks for your time and energy on this one brother!

Ep. 47 - Fractalfest 2023 FutureFi Minimix - Nanocannon - Fractal Brain Butter

Gleekch has navigated back to Mindspring with Tuned Compass, his third release, being a full-length album. In keeping with his signature style, expect a marrying of genres and seemingly disparate elements - combined thoughtfully by his maturing, artistic, mind. It's bass heavy music with glitchy substrate and springlings of high speed breaks and DnB influences. The tracks range from Dark and scattered, to playful and reflective. There are also a few collaborators that have been tapped to lend their talents and elevate these works to a higher plane. Clement has outdone himself, again, and we can't wait for his fourth endeavor.
