On January 1st, we're easing into the year gently once again, welcoming it with a mix to soothe your tired bodies and souls after the wild New Year’s Eve celebrations ପ(๑•ᴗ•๑)ଓ ♡

This time, the regenerating musical journey comes courtesy of @uszkogirl who will guide you through a story filled with ethereal, sensual sounds of mystery, water, and voices. Expect transitions through ambient, downtempo, and experimental instrumental gems. It’s magical, it’s light, it’s exactly how we want to step into the new year.

Treat yourself to this goodness, wrap yourself in this warm sonic blanket, and drift away before 2025 takes hold completely.

@uszkogirl, thank you for this delight

saga charlotte - hold it

South Korean-born, Netherlands-based artist Jiyoung Wi's (@jiyoungwi) 4'44" - is a 'sound fiction' in the format part book and part CD. During her Sonology course in The Hague, Wi's recent work considers the relationship between the two mediums to alter the possibilities of narratives.

Structured as a series of letters opening with a one-sided transcript of a conversation, 4'44"'s accompanying audio tracks combine sounds collected through field recording and a reading of the transcript by seven speakers - in Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Bengali, English, Lithuanian, and Turkish. The use of multiple languages disrupts a single, cohesive cultural or geographical context for the text, further obscuring the identities of those engaged in the conversation. Such translation of text to sound acts as a prelude, drawing the readers into the disjointed world of 4'44". Intimate and surreal, the story follows a first-person narrator who relies on her fractured psyche for survival, chronicling the various stages of her mysterious illness.

he title reflects the layered conceptual and formal explorations of the work, appropriating John Cage's 4'33", lasting 273 seconds, often interpreted as referencing -273°C, or absolute zero, where all molecular motion stops. By adding 11 seconds, Wi creates an interval to reflect on "the other," mirroring the act of letter-writing, which involves both a sender (self) and a recipient (other). The resulting manipulation of time also draws on cultural symbolism, as the number four is often associated with death in many Asian cultures. Combining the suspended ambience of 4 minutes and 33 seconds with a brief yet charged speculative moment, the letters of 4'44" invite meditation on what lies beyond the self, at the edge of death.

A tribute to the Lumiere brothers; Ghost train is a reminder of their famous short film "The arrival of a train at La Ciotat station  [1896]," one of the first films in cinema history. It 'a memory of people waiting for the train, their spirit remains forever in the history of cinema and in our memories and that will be transmitted to our children and our grandchildren, until the end of time.
