DRIFT Mix Series

After a long hiatus, a few side projects and a full cover redesign, we finally return to the DRIFT mix series for episode 34. This one's a special one, with Edinburgh-based rising producer, record cutter and DJ 'The Last Days of Pompeii' taking control. Entitled 'Sound in Motion', he creates a vibrant collage of his favourite soundtrack, soundscapes, monologues and dialogues from cinema and television. With genres spanning ambient, modern classical and with the occasional indie throw back the mix reimagines soundtrack scores and movie scenes. Included below is the track/watch list which I encourage you to check out and do some further watching/listening. The Last Days of Pompeii's deep knowledge of film and visual media comes through as he blends memorable title sequences and deep cuts from foreign films with excerpts and monologues to create a truly immersive one hour listening experience. Enjoy x

DRIFT 035: Ecilant

Continuing the DRIFT series in style, episode 36 comes in hot in the form of a longer form mix from Gary. Well versed in blending bass heavy club tracks, he takes a step back to share some of his favourite chilled tracks with us over the course of 90 minutes. During this time, he steers through a truly varied range of music spanning the downtempo range, from blissful electronica, through hip hop instrumentals and vocals, to percussive and emotive tracks from all corners of the globe. Despite the range of genres and style, the mix has a steady flow, the expertly curated tracks are overlayed expertly and the show stands testament to Gary's ability as both a selector and a DJ.

DRIFT 036: Gary

For episode 37, we're delighted to shine the spotlight on talented, Northampton-based DJ, Moose. With residencies on London stations Mode and Voices, he regularly fills the airwaves with forward thinking and exciting uk club sounds, focussing on leftfield music from garage to jungle. Alongside this, he is a skilled producer and boasts a string of excellent releases over the last few years including recent gems on labels Solitude and Profound Sound. 

Stepping back slightly from his usual style for this mix, he sticks to the genres he knows well but explores the more chilled out end of the spectrum, with choice selections from artists such as Om Unit and Yoofee. His aim for his contribution to the series was to touch on a Sunday afternoon feeling, using tunes he’s always had but never found an opportunity to play through normal channels such as club and radio. In his own words, not getting to play them as much genuinely improved the mix as it was a lot more fun to mix & was super excited putting the tracklist together, being something different to scheduled programming. This perfectly mirrors the DRIFT philosophy and we're absolutely delighted to be able to share it with you on a Sunday afternoon!

"premonitions" by @alenakoroleva [fom10]
CS/DL : f-o-m.bandcamp.com/album/premonitions

“Whenever I go, I can't help but notice signs of a looming change. I eavesdrop on conversations of creatures big and small, and like me, they seem uneasy and uncertain about what's to come. Something is in the air, dark clouds gather, winds are shifting course. Amidst the confusion and restlessness, the voices of non-human and human worlds blend in a worrisome symphony. This piece is an ode to anticipation, to the beauty of different forms of life on the brink of the sixth mass extinction. Joining in the chorus are the American toad, northern winds, an old kettle, Mr. Cat, tawny owl, crickets, domestic chickens and pigs, trumpeter swans, honey bees, truck horns, cormorants, seagulls and other elements and critters.” — Alëna Korolëva 

Something is afoot, the Tkaronto/Toronto-based artist and curator, Alëna Korolëva tells us in her new soundscape composition “premonitions”. American toads and water beetles set things in motion before the long-form piece journeys through a multitude of field recordings and non-human voices in a quasi-cinematographic fashion. Korolëva layers and manipulates sounds from the real into a sonic chimaera which mutates concrete ambiances into vaporous surrealities through the modes of collage. A storm blankets the soundscape, things grow quieter. Distant parallels with Luc Ferrari’s "musique anecdotique" come to mind, yet here the piece materializes in an acoustic docu-fiction of some sort, that takes the form of a waking dream. Various scenes, ranging from the mundane to the uncanny, unfold in eardrums exposing an underlying sense of earthly melancholy. A weight lurks throughout while winds, pigs, chickens, and mechanical apparatus weave into a strange agitated tapestry. A kettle whistles, a cat meows – Korolëva sprinkles the gloom with touches of humor and audible senses of home. Trumpeter swans are joined by a trumpeter human; Chayka Chekhov responds to the avian songs in a interspecies dialogue – echoing Jim Nollman’s “Playing Music With Animals”. Environments cascade into a finale droned out by truck horns. Their ringings and animal cries swell in a somber abstraction bearing the weight of a presentiment. “What does the future hold?” we ask ourselves throughout the album as we dissolve in imbrications of positionings, emanating from one another like stacking dolls. Poly-layered, “premonitions” engages in play, in negotiation with the disparate spaces and voices of a troubled world as if it created harmonious discord to decipher the ominous clouds gathering in the horizon.

Miri Malek is a Fife-born, Scottish-Iranian DJ & Producer playing a powerful blend of low-end influenced selections, with a focus on stranger textures and dark, percussive grooves. They are the founder of Dwam, a Berlin-based interdisciplinary platform running events and arts residencies.

For their DRIFT mix, Miri Malek expertly threads together deep, pulsating leftfield cuts with mutated dancehall and ethereal downtempo to create a seamless mix of experimental electronic sounds. They had this to say about it:
"Life has been pretty hectic lately, so I took the moment to slow down and get cuddly with some wiggly rhythms and long comfy blends".

Episode 24 of DRIFT welcomes the DJ and promoter Padawan Sound (a.k.a. Paddy H-K). He has an impressive depth of musical knowledge and is involved, and active, in a large number of music communities, both online, and in his hometown of Leeds. First and foremost amongst these, is his own project, Think Tank: A Place For Your Head. Since their inception in 2017, Think Tank have sought to reframe the more hedonistic aspects of club culture, by curating ambient listening spaces that foster creativity, communal reflection, and recovery. Until very recently, they held a residency on KMAH Radio, which sadly came to an end when the station stopped broadcasting. You can, however, still listen to a back-catalogue of their shows by following the link below – something I strongly recommend you to do as there are some truly beautiful ambient mixes in there waiting to be discovered. The Think Tank events and radio shows provided a great deal of inspiration when I was first starting DRIFT and the way in which they reshape conceptions of club culture is something which I have always deeply admired. It is an honour and a privilege to have the man behind this, Paddy H-K, contribute to the series.

Padawan Sound began piecing together this mix at a time of year when emotions such as grief and loss weighed heavily on his mind. Music can often be an outlet for emotions – both positive and negative – and he attempts to convey those feelings in this mix through the intricate layering, warping and editing of textures, field recordings and samples. These sounds are expertly intertwined with an exquisite selection of ambient tracks – some of which carry the mix forward and some of which give just a few seconds to enhance or embellish one particular section. The mix was recorded using turntables, CDJs and Ableton, a combination of hardware and software which allowed many of the tracks to be chopped, looped and edited heavily using effects to create new sounds and textures. It is through this approach that he creates a truly unique listening experience which immerses, moves, and begs to be listened to again and again.
