cool lists

my very first DJ set recorded a few weeks ago in Upstate New York during the Delayed Weekend Getaway. 
tracklist to follow soon...

“Quietly quietly ever so slowly
It unravels. It unfurls. You think it’s leading you down the rabbithole but instead it keeps teasing you. The theme is like a Dance of the Seven Veils: you long for its secrets to be revealed while desiring madly that would never happen.
You struggle a little, waiting for a familiar development but the sound, instead, envelops you, wraps its coils tighter and tighter
around you. It hugs you so gently you don’t even realize it’s happening. Are you curling at its laps? Is it splashing around your knees? This is how seduction works. You want to become one with this music so much that it actually happens. You melt into this sound bath and now there’s nothing else that you consist of.
And suddenly you know what love is: love is a woman. A woman who built this track from scratch, the same way she bakes pies from scratch, weaves the thread, conceives a child. She’s an original creator, a mother lode of all the tiny audible pleasures and all the high
mountains of emotions: she contains it all. This is probably the most feminine track you have ever heard. It’s sexy and smart like Mata
Hari, it’s pensive and graceful like a Renaissance Madonna, its lush mysterious whispers make their way to your soul Scheherazade-style. It doesn’t lull you into submission but rather interlaces its narrative
with the track of your thoughts, bits of your dreams, prickles of your skin. It caresses but never fully satisfies, and you beg for more.
The ending comes much sooner than when you’re ready for it to end, and it’s so surprising that it changes your whole perspective on what you’ve just listened to. The focus has shifted abruptly, and now you are being thrust into the creation process: you realize how and when this track was imagined and recorded, and whatever thoughts you projected into it before just shatter. It's like a movie with a
devilishly clever plot twist: wait, Neo is the One?!  You are experiencing slight vertigo, and then you plunge into it again, from
the top." - Tatyana Voloshina

EGGBOX 007: LEANDRO FRESCO

We are so thrilled to finally share this delicious mix recorded by the French/Polish DJ and producer ~ ina kacz. We met Ina last year in London during her visit and have immediately bonded over a few shared musical experiences, keeping in touch since. It feels so right to finally welcome her to the Introspective Electronics family. She recorded just over an hour of seamlessly flowing ambient textures weaved together with various shades of rhythm-driven experimental dance sounds for us  🤍

Ina’s music taste is refreshingly eclectic, yet she manages to keep her signature sound ~ combining deep atmospheres, breaks, tribalism and groove ~ well defined. A household name on her local Berlin scene, with DJ sets at Berghain and Tresor under her belt, Ina also tours around the globe, notably in Georgia, France, Portugal, or Colombia among other places. In 2022, she has released her first track ‘Sequoia’ as part of a compilation on the Colombian imprint ‘From A Lost Place’ 💫

This mix is the perfect example of challenging the frontiers between music for listening and dancing. Starting off patiently with droney ambient and glitchy downtempo, the mix picks up pace around its middle section to dive into heady, futuristic drum’n’bass weightlessness wrapped in soft, warm & fuzzy blankets of lush atmospherics. This one will take you places, we promise. Travel safe, friends!

The works of zakè always take their time unfolding into rich worlds of detailed, harmonic drone, and on Dolere – his latest for Germany’s Affin – he offers two of his most patient and affecting compositions to date, over a span of 70 minutes. For this study of the ways in which time itself seems to stretch and slow during phases of sorrow and pain, the artist describes an inspiration from the feeling of being “suspended in the weight of emotions we cannot change.”


First movement, “Dolera” (from the Latin dolor, describing anguish), drifts on gorgeous, melancholy waves that encourage total focus and slow, sympathetic breath. It is ensconced in a trademark analog hiss, adorned in the stereo field by sonic streaks of light and the contemplative sound of decayed tape samples, mimicking a mind unceasingly turning over its preoccupations. Nearly album-length in its own right, “Dolera” may act – like many zakè pieces – as a sonic Rorschach Test, equally capable of serving as emotional commiseration, or as the backdrop for the essential inner work of meditation.


The artist states: “This year, my life came to a halt, as if the Spring froze in its tracks; amidst the heaviness I longed for reprieve, and to escape the relentless march forward. These tracks serve as a refuge for those burdened by distraction or sorrow, offering a brief respite from the inexorable passage of time.”


Fittingly the title piece, “Dolere”, is named for the present-tense, infinitive form of dolor. This small but significant linguistic difference echoes the shift in mood from the album’s first half, as a more darkly-tinged drone underscores barely perceptible field recordings of birdsong, and the subtle drama of a glow peeking through somber fog. “Dolere” progresses at a deliberate pace, shifting its hues in the way tree shadows move across a forest floor; the background white-noise hiss builds in tandem as fixation intensifies. The only time entropy wins is when the final notes fade, and we’re returned to the ticking of the clock on the wall.


zakè’s catalog is rich with modern ambient highlights, and Dolere feels destined to become a touchstone of the genre in league with those by artists like Thomas Köner and Andrew Chalk, perfect for those in need of a breath during an era defined by breathlessness.


The partnership in this release is a natural fit, as zakè’s own renowned label Past Inside the Present has worked with Affin’s founder Joachim Spieth closely over the years, and both share the same noble goal of building uncommon sonic spaces outside the mainstream. Dolere is graced with artwork by legendary polymath Markus Guentner, whose own releases for Affin – alongside those of bvdub, Tori Fuko, and Simone Giudice – have helped define the label’s graceful aesthetic.

Gunnar Haslam for Seeking Derangements

Dear friends,

It has been a long time since we last released a compilation – our previous one was back in 2020. For the 100th release of our label, we felt it was the perfect occasion to celebrate in great company! We invited many musicians who have collaborated with Dronarivm in the past to create joint tracks with an artist of their choice. The result is 24 uniquely diverse tracks that showcase the vast musical spectrum of the genre we generally call "Ambient."

We are proud to present Illuminations III, a compilation created as a heartfelt thank-you to everyone who has supported us over the years. This includes musicians, listeners, visual artists, photographers, designers, podcasters, reviewers, and everyone who has helped us grow and move forward.

Illuminations III features over two hours of outstanding music from leading ambient producers, and just like any true gift, it's completely free to download. Of course, if you wish, you can contribute any amount you find appropriate. All proceeds will go toward supporting and further developing our projects.

For those who prefer a physical format, the album is also available as a print-on-demand double CDr.

We hope you enjoy this release – a labor of love that took over six months to create. Thank you for your continued support!

A1.   DJ SETS

Astral Industries 9128 Takeover

"If jazz could be taken into a laboratory and put through a distilling process, two things would remain after everything else had evaporated: the blues and the beat.  The blues would remain because jazz began as the voice of an oppressed people who used music to ease the burden of living.  The beat would still be there because the physical motion of rhythm helps release the whole body from tension, making everything more bearable." ~ Henry Mancini, liner notes on The Blues and the Beat

This quote from the composer of Peter Gunn, The Pink Panther, and Breakfast at Tiffany's seems to speak of the power of music and the bleakness of humanity, however while listening to The Blues and the Beat I feel as though I've entered into a lounge frequented by only the most dashing 60's era spies.  There is a great rendition of "Misty" on side one and, whenever you hear the piano, know that it is the one and only John "Little Johnny Love" Williams, the prolific composer of blockbuster film scores!

Side 1:
The Blues
Smoke Rings
Misty
Blue Flame
After Hours
Mood Indigo

Side Two:
The Beat
Big Noise From Winnetka
Alright, Okay, You Win
Tippin' In
How Could You Do A Thing Like That To Me
Sing, Sing, Sing
