"How you gonna fill unfillable
How you gonna feel unfeelable
You're passing up on the real stuff
And you're waking up on stars
You're passing up on the real stuff
It's not nearly physical enough" 
 - Jonnine Davis, Nigel Yang

This was recorded on a farm at night in the forest among a small group of friends. This mix is just another example of what I've been doing for the better part of my life - sensing the room while winging it out of a "bag" of music to help express myself and experience the moment. I was told the next day that I (paraphrase) "soaked up the weekend and reflected it back out to us." That was one of the most flattering compliments I have ever received. A recording will never fully capture the moment but I hope you enjoy the music nonetheless. 

Special thanks to Mollie Bryan, Finney Farm, and those who listen.

Happy new week to everyone. New mix from Peder Mannerfelt!

Enjoy!


Peder Mannerfelt splits the difference between playful immediacy and daring experimentation. You’re as likely to find him premiering a live show at Berlin’s Atonal festival as pulling apart fabled techno meccas from Berghain to Fabric with synapse-frying precision. One minute he’s being asked to remix Björk, and the next he’s dropping EPs of non-conformist techno for Karenn’s Voam label.

As a prolific collaborator throughout his career, Mannerfelt has veered from the orchestral tension of Roll The Dice (with Malcolm Pardon) to the anything-goes maximalism of Aasthma (with Pär Grindvik). As a producer, he’s worked on every one of Fever Ray’s acclaimed albums and live shows, as well as projects from alt music heavyweights such as Smerz, Blonde Redhead and Glasser. His Peder Mannerfelt Produktions label has become another outlet for his singular approach, presenting his work alongside similarly experimental operators like Sissel Wincent, Machine Woman, Klara Lewis and Hodge.

More recently, his PM+ series celebrates the immediacy of club-focused tracks, and Mannerfelt thrives on the energy and community of contemporary club music. What makes him different is his response to that energy, as he pushes the music’s possibilities in wild, unpredictable directions.

o•rbyss aims to help soothe the queer spectrum and focus on the well-being of the community. Queer DJs are invited to submit a mix to showcase an alternative side to their music library outside of a rave and take us on a meditative journey. ✨

Notes on the mix:

“This mix came as a result of a month of being away from home, I was on vacation and partying off the *brat girl* era in me. During most of the hot summer days I would shelter with my friends inside and chill out to the tracks in this mix. I went back and selected some of my favorites from recent releases and some tracks I recently dug up in a close friend’s collection after spending most of the summer together. The mix is also my love letter to the wonderful souls I shared music and the summer days with.”

Stefan Strange draws from his deep connection to Skopje’s queer scene, having started mixing during the pandemic to create and expand local alternatives to commercial music and conventional club culture.

His sets are a dynamic blend of genres and styles, from 90s progressive house, tribal rhythms, and ballroom beats to nostalgic old-school gems, all infused with a dose of trance and techno that transports listeners ont a cosmic journey. Stefan’s approach to mixing is both soulful and energetic, with tight percussion and driving grooves that keep the dance floor alive. His playful and fluid mixing style creates an atmosphere where genres bend and blend seamlessly.

Recently, Stefan launched Insomnia, a party series in Skopje that champions queer artists and innovative sounds, all with a classic touch. Insomnia is designed as a sanctuary on the dance floor, where queer safety and expressive freedom are at the forefront.

Emky Rolack - Tomorrow Smoke (Original Mix)

Former military man and marching band member @jamesbangura is an artist who has roamed the world and picked up musical influences at every stop on the way. Be it drum & bass in Alabama, blog house in California or the rich house sound of New York, this Washington DC native is now distilling all those references into his own searing sounds. They have come on labels like Mister Saturday Night and can range from sauced out to brutally energetic.

And the latter of those two is what defines his unrelenting mix for us. It is a hard hitting collision of raw, decaying textures, pummeling drums and stark, post industrial atmospheres that are thrillingly harsh. The rhythms roam from the fringes of techno to the heart of jungle and on to an icy but powerful minimalism that very much consumes your body. So strap in, cause this is one helluva ride.
