Pseudonote presents: Star Gazer, a voyage-inducing EP from JdB featuring two originals and two remixes. Burnham’s grounded aura and resonant grooves fly high in these, galactic, long-form journeys through the cosmos.

Embark on an adventure with "Broken Constellation," a track that sets the scene in a somewhat frantic state, with its growling acid line and pulsating galaxy of shimmering bleeps and percs. “Star Gazer” on the other hand, ventures into a more reflective territory, invoking a sense of hopeful awe. Experience the swelling ethereal synth pads and thumping, optimistic bassline as Josiah transports you far beyond. It’s a cosmic, late-night tune with major anthemic potential.

But the journey doesn't end there! Backing up the originals are two interstellar remixes from Ian Ellison and AFFIRM.

Welcome to the Midgar Records takeover. Celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, the Berlin-based label will be taking over the 909 mix series for the duration of September with a mix running each week from a label affiliate with a full lowdown on the label to accompany the final edition.

Next up is Berlin-via-London DJ and producer Keplrr who released on Midgar Records recently with the glorious 'Plumes' EP featuring a remix from Priori. He's also previously released on Control Freak Recordings and Pressure Dome where he has become known for more forward-thinking broken techno music. In his contribution to the series, Keplrr digs into wriggly, groove-filled soundscapes, creating a perfect early morning or afters soundtrack as it glows throughout. A mixture of head down moments and trippy euphoria.

For the eight installments of our podcast series, we are happy to present Sybil. Recorded last autumn in Japan, when the leaves were gradually changing colors and a mood of melancholy set in, this mix represents, to us, a sonic manifestation of the enduring beauty of Japan's seasonal change. 

It is a mix in which Sybil, ever gently, reverbs between deep layers of dub, beautifully warped sounds, and the occasional elegant beat, took those present across a musical palette as diverse as the colors of the Japanese autumn. Nearly a year later, with the onset of another autumn cycle, we think it is now the time to release this mix. Please sit back, find a good pair of speakers, and enjoy.

Obscure Series: Voal (Live) [Perpendicular 2024]

Welcome to the final edition of the Midgar Records takeover. Celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, the Berlin-based label took over our mix series for the entirety of September, showcasing work from some of the label's closest affiliates including Aa Sudd, Tammo Hesselink and Keplrr. To round things off, we have label founder Severja contributing a mix that highlights his breadth of influences that are also channeled through Midgar Records output. The mix spans across drum & bass, wonked-out techno, trippy percussive rhythms and trance-like soundscapes. The session also ties in nicely with our 200th mix!

Founded in 2014, Severja launched Midgar Records as a label that leaves the trends behind and instead focuses on bringing together a melting pot of artists who are pushing music forward through their modern take on techno that showcases the soundscapes mentioned above. In the label's bio on Soundcloud it says, 'a sound that tells stories as people dance'.  Launching on a very strong foot with the first release by Wata Igarashi, Midgar Records has since gone on to house records from the likes of Ruff Cherry, Von Grall, Forest Drive West, Retina.it, natural/electronic.system., Priori, Agonis, Tammo Hesselink, Polygonia, OK EG and many more. In addition to the releases, Severja has taken the label and its artists around the world with showcases in Krakow, Tokyo, Seoul, Berlin, Barcelona, Medellin, Oslo, and Milan to name a few.

To accompany the final mix in the takeover, we spoke to Severja about how it feels reaching the 10th anniversary of the label, how Midgar has evolved over the years, experiences bringing the label to club spaces, the story behind signing Wata Igarashi for the first record and the inspirations behind the label's curation and art direction.

It is undeniable that we are living in uncertain times. For those of us failing - or refusing - to fit the patriarchal, neoliberalist mould we have lost hope in the future. We can see capitalism is not working but we cannot yet envisage an alternative. We discover that the stability we were instructed to obtain whether it be financial, political or ecological, is fleeting, if at all. The resulting anxiety is an instrument of neoliberalism that prevents many of us from being able to raise consciousness of the structural injustices that alienate us.

In a world where security is no longer feasible, the only constant we can rely on is change. Barad teaches us that the world is a dynamic process of intra-activity and materialisation, an ongoing ebb and flow of agency. The Buddhist Law of Impermanence proves that nothing in this world is eternal. Regardless of ones point of reference we can understand that every aspect of life, physical and mental is in flux and perhaps this transience is the only thing we can depend on.

Each month we invite an artist to ruminate on these ideas and create an hour of relief from these anxieties. A temporary suspension of reality, where the listener can speculate on alternate modes of existence that reject hetero- patriarchal systems of oppression.

This month we have invited @syberkid to respond to this concept.
