stars of the lid are possibly along with a winged victory for the sullen, one of the most under rated musical outfits in modern contemporary/classical/ambient music. The music and sounds created by those 2 outfits is so comprehensive and beautiful 

We created the soundtrack for Tide magazine’s first issue. 

We worked together on the occasion of this new publication, by following the same guidance as the editorial team: to explore the notions of fulfillment and emptiness, through sonic textures instead of words and images. 

The result is less of a straightforward mix, and more of a varied musical atmosphere, which invites our readers to experience every page in an innovative way.

Patrick Russell is a true veteran of the underground, perhaps one of the last unsung heroes of a now lost era in the Midwest. He magically transforms the diaspora of pure jack energy into a fluent sonic dialog that never fails to devastate both minds and dance floor. 

A Detroit-bred DJ, artist and producer since the early 90's, Patrick has now made Brooklyn his home. His lengthy resume includes such highlights as an exclusive 2007 set with Jeff Mills in Detroit, performing at the 2001 & 2008 DEMF/Movement festivals in Detroit, more recent appearances at Boiler Room, Unsound, and BEMF in New York, to being a key figure in the now legendary No Way Back parties. In addition, he has been steadily building a strong catalog of high-profile remixes to compliment his increasingly varied and in-demand DJ sets.

His consummate taste and ecstatic yet disciplined execution have created a respect that cannot be purchased. Patrick is not just one to watch, he is one to be experienced.

GhostlyCast #52: Patrick Russell - Innsmouth Shadow

This track was born from the Bargaining chapter in “While They Were Sleeping” a moment where the main character pleads with a shattered world, begging to save those trapped in silence. But he can’t. This song is for them.

It’s for every voice that was buried too soon. for the peoples of every land suffering. For every girl who was silenced. For every boy who was forgotten. For the ones who screamed and were answered only by dust.

Musically, this is not a song. It’s a grave. It’s a prayer. It’s the sound of trying to carry an entire people’s suffering in your chest, and realizing that no melody will ever be loud enough to resurrect them but still trying. Still playing. Still lighting the candle.

“Can’t You Hear Their Voices” is for the ones who were erased, but never truly gone. It’s for the ones whose echoes live in the fire of every story we dare to tell. Listen closely. They’re still here.

Can’t You Hear Their Voices

Recorded live at Studio DB, Berlin, 22nd April 2025

Steffen Sennert: sax, keyboards.
Federico Narracci: keyboards, drums, effects.

A Prins Thomas remix of "Im Klanggarten" will be released on Innervisions' Secret Weapon 8 on September 23rd, 2016. The original version can also be found via our "Zuckerstrahl" page here on Soundcloud.

Im Klanggarten

This record is an extension of a foray into trance ritual music.
It's structured as a companion for film, meditation, vision seeking & sound rest.

It's by nature a nature worship record, combing acoustic percussive improvisation, sensory foley, vocalized staccatos, and a specific brew of physical/metaphysical sound relations....mind hush/thought flush/spirit rush/sun rise.

Inspired by an initiation ceremony of the Bwiti/Fang people of Gabon. This collection relays a fragmented branch of timings of this ceremony. Plus proposes alter paths for the sacred (Mougongo) instrument.

Recoded + Restructured + Reflected as a time capsule.

With fullest respect/blessings to breeze the Bwiti understandings through current climate.

Proceeds of this record will be donated to Tata-Yo (Nganga), Ebando.

2020 Ambient Mix / Another tribute to Blade Runner

Music for Whales, an ambient radio transmission.
Chapter 13: Adam Wiltzie & Brian Mcbride, Also know as Stars of the Lid. A musical poem made of the tittles of some of their best productions, literaly written and mixed following the same order as they appeared. Nothing else to say... Whales would not understand us.

"Supposed essay on the piano
our last moment in the song,
and by the steep hills of tears,
the slow descent has begun

Our atoms like sun drugs,
the articulated Silences,
and the evil that never arrived,
were the better angels of our nation.

Transforming  the country;
Guilt of Uncomplicated Thoughts.
A Gathering to Lead Me When You're Gone,
 into the Stringer to Light Feed Frenzy,
a fifth  Made Of Phantoms.

When I see the scissors I can't help but think of you,
i know that you dont like the future like i do
I will surround you...
Be small with me.

That finger on your temple is the barrel of my ray gun,
An Melodrames telegraphies,
chronicle of early failures…
It's this love song".
