Esencia 052 - P Relief

"She rode with her hat pulled down in the front and fastened under her chin with a drawtie and as she rode her black hair twisted and blew about her shoulders and the lightning fell silently through the black clouds behind her and she rode all seeming unaware down through the low hills while the first spits of rain blew on the wind and onto the upper pasturelands and past the pale and reedy lakes riding erect and stately until the rain caught her up and shrouded her figure away in that wild summer landscape: real horse, real rider, real land and sky 
and yet a dream withal."

...and yet a dream withal

‘For home use only’ is an anti-club social, a chance to get to know someone/something. A series of transmissions purely dedicated to exploring the other side.

So here we are, another year coming to an end, leading into a summer that we’ve been waiting for, for over 3 years now. Usually, things start to wind down around this time of the year but it would seem that things are just as chaotic as usual. Transitioning through seasons used to be a breeze, though nowadays, not so much. 
Someone who has never had any issues with transitions is this episode's contributor; Naarm local, favourite, hero, champion, Jazz aka Jasmine Rose aka the slowed-time surgeon.

Watching/listening to Jazz evolve over the last few years has been nothing short of fascinating, comfortably traversing from strength to strength, like jumping on Lilly pads across a pond, creating a ripple effect with each launch and each landing. She’s one of the very few with a firm grip on sub 110bpm chug, the queen of the slow roast; The slow lane is a hard lane to drive in, but Jazz has her HR licence, allowing her to cruise down the princess freeway, driving a semi with both eyes closed. Personally, I've had some life-altering experiences dancing to Jazz on a big outdoor system, her hypnotic wizardry has transported me back to primitive times on more than a few occasions. She’s also no stranger to radio waves, she hosts an incredible show dubbed ‘spaces within space’ on Naarm’s own community radio station PBS, as well as another show ‘hanging with the birds’ on the ever-magical Skylab radio. Both shows do an amazing job at summarising the current narrative of the electronic music landscape. If you aren’t already listening to Jazz and her doings, then it’s not too late, and hopefully, this mix will answer any questions you might have. 

Let us discuss said mix, in a purely bias and one-way fashion. I’d say it's impossible to encapsulate Jazz’s depth in an hour and ten minutes, but alas, I am very happily wrong. This mix serves up a refined tasting of her ethos and leaves you wanting more, and luckily there’s plenty more (link below). Her control and understanding is on another level, bending the laws of physics itself without missing a single beat, turning BPM into a construct. Explorations in digital dub, drenched d’n’b, downtime sonatas, and dance floor digestives, she truly has put all of herself into this, and that's exactly why we started this silly little music series. Time for me to shut up and for Jazz to take over (press play). 

Stay dry, stay hungry. X

2022-12-03 Live At SUED Release Party (Dynamo Dreesen, Finn Johannsen, SVN)

London-based pair Jack Rollo and Elaine Tierney aka Time is Away are continually exploring the relationship between time, place and power. They do so in a wide variety of ways from exhibitions for the Arts Council England to site-specific sound works, research projects to their nearly 10-year-strong NTS show. Each one weaves spoken word pieces with atmospheric music into soundscapes that physically and mentally move you. 

The pair's exceptional record collection and ability to manipulate your mood are laid bare once more in this week's mix. It's an escapist daydream where gently lilting rhythms melt away into psychedelic dub with intimate vocal whispers. Indian meditations captivate the heart and mind while lo-fi guitar fuzz lulls you into a hypnagogic state. It's a delicate but powerful world of sound that reveals more and has an ever-deeper impact each time you listen.

Conjuring memories of daydreaming in the midsts of suburbia. A new mix from @priori-ties

Some words from Priori: “I grew up in a working class neighbourhood of Longueuil, Quebec, Canada. Being an only child in the suburbs meant I spent a lot of time daydreaming and contemplating my environment. I was a bit of a melancholic kid so post-punk and ambient music made a lot of sense to me when I discovered them. I stumbled upon an album called Strike by 154 by accident, probably wanting to download something else off of Kazaa. It really changed things for me as a teenager and I still hold it dear. There's a song from it in the mix, along with a bunch of other things that bring up similar feelings for me.”

“As for news:
Alex (Dust-e-1) and I are putting out a new record as ANF on NAFF, should be out April 26th.
Some more collabs and solo things coming out in the summer.”

music for... growing up in the suburbs - Priori

“Influenced by Melbourne and musical experiences with a group of friends. The image of being above the clouds from flight or mountains always came back to me. I’ve been working on some new music that has a bit more energy than my most recent music but still has the laidback pads and melodies I'm drawn too. These tracks should be out in the coming months.”

@djarloski is a Melbourne based producer and DJ and definitely, one to watch - can check his recent ‘hypnosis’ release over at https://djarloski.bandcamp.com/

E2E:The mix is different from the high energy you’re known for, is there a particular environment or context you had in mind when putting it together?

KM: I wanted to make something different for you as I feel like the mixes on your site tell a story, and this is something I aim to do with my mixes (unless it's a full on club mix where I just want to make people dance). 
A theme, image or idea helps me direct the development of the mix. Sometimes when I am at home and want to relax, I watch train rides from the driver's perspective (my favourite is the Oslo to Bergen video), this has inspired a few of my previous mixes. 

Lately, I've started watching diving and submarine videos. I put on music while I watch the bubbles rise and fish come into focus and try to find something that accompanies these images. So this mix is inspired by that. Plunging underwater, diving deeper and exploring the ocean floor. I'm definitely inspired by artists like Valentino Mora, Dorisburg and basically, anyone who has played at Organik Festival in Taiwan - they have such great bookings. Also, Johanna Knutsson who plays and makes the most beautiful, understated dub techno. 

I'm always impressed by techno DJs who don't feel pressure to play anything too obvious but rather confidently lull the audience into a trance state with layers of lush textures. I'm not really a techno DJ, I usually play anything with breaks, and this mix actually isn't actually so straight-forward either, but it's definitely inspired by that idea and I love staying open to all genres and finding openings to understanding and exploring them.

E2E: Any news or projects you’re working on at the moment?

KM: My partner and I who do the Oscillate events at about blank in Berlin started a label, Oscillate Tracks, last year and our third release with Johanna Knutsson and Karen Gwyer is coming out in August! I'm absolutely in love with all the tracks and can't wait to share them with everyone.

I also just got a studio and have been focussing on production but I'm not in any rush to get anything out, just learning and experimenting at this stage which is really fun.

E2E: Did your move to Melbourne influence the mix? 

A little bit, yes. I have been feeling particularly nostalgic lately and that probably came through in the selections. Last week, I drove from Glebe to Brunswick in a 12 seater bus with my cat Romeo. We listened to this mix together to see how it sounded on the road. Unfortunately, Romeo did not like it and he did not like much that day. 

E2E: Were there any environments or contexts that you had in mind when putting this mix together? 

As the title of your mix series suggests, music can be a wonderful accompaniment to activities. When I have watched a film that has really affected me I’ll often listen to the soundtrack for weeks after and sometimes make my own imaginary soundtrack of songs that fit with the world of the film. While I was reading Cormac McCarthy’s ‘Border Trilogy’, I wanted to find ways to stay in the novel when I wasn’t reading it. The novels are set at the southwest border of the United States and the characters spend a majority of the novels riding on horseback, often alone and usually on a quest to avenge a loss. I found myself preoccupied imagining the sort of music the characters and their horses could be listening to, riding under lonesome skies, contemplating their place in the world. 

I don’t expect that much of your audience owns or has access to a horse. Still, I hope some of them can enjoy these songs on journeys of their own. 

E2E: Any news or projects coming up with Best Effort, Ken Oath Records or Rimbombo?

Nothing is planned on the release front and my bank account implies that maybe it’s time for a bit of a break. Best Effort Dance Parties will continue every few months at Freda’s and I’m looking forward to some summer parties in Sydney with my Rimbombo buds Adi and James at the end of the year.

E2E: Any particular environment or context you had in mind when recording this mix?

Myles Mac: Elaborating on the theme, I've been living down on the Mornington Peninsula for the last year or so which is home to some of Australia's coolest birdlife, recently prompting me and my girlfriend to go buy some binoculars and join the fray as amateur birdwatchers. Just from my place here, you can often see some pretty funky birds like the brightly coloured Eastern Rosellas and Rainbow Lorikeets, and we also get the odd visit from a cheeky Laughing Kookaburra looking for a quick bath. There's even a family of Wedge-tailed Eagles that circle around above. I'm sure one day they'll discover some pretty cool birds in outer space too, and I think this could be a nice soundtrack for all the interplanetary birdwatchers out there.

E2E: Any new projects you're working on or milestones with MDC? 

Myles Mac: MDC is into its 10th year now which is a bit of a trip! Just hope to continue sharing memorable listening journeys from all over the place but would like to focus a bit more on emerging locals as there are some incredible DJs down here that don't always get the recognition they should.

Will also be collaborating on a few tasty club shows with the Slow Burn crew next year which I'm quite excited about.
