Living Room n°20 ~ @slowfoam

q. pls introduce yourself

Hi! I’m Madelyn, aka Slowfoam. I’m a very curious artist, musician, and DJ currently based in Berlin.


q. is there a story behind the mix?

I made this mix in my favorite place in the world, watching a sunset and swatting away mosquitos in Bogliasco, Italy in the midst of a pretty intense time… so, it’s as cathartic and emotive as the moment was. 


q. what's the best way enjoy your mix?

Zoning out while cooking soup or on a slow autumnal walk. But, ideally, you can just listen to it anywhere that feels right.


q. describe a favourite object in your living room...

It’s this giant expanding foam sculpture that looks like a butterfly hanging above our couch; a memento from a special weekend with friends in Prague.


q. are you working on any projects right now (music or not music)?

Yes! Too many! At this very moment, I’m developing a collaborative monthly show exploring utopia through sound called 'our tomorrow' on Internet Public Radio.

Interface is for interaction. But for this episode, Skalm (@dans-market) has made a different kind of interaction and invited Utrecht-based Luke Cohlen (@lukecohlen) to create his version of interface. Moved by his multiform yet consistent sound as well as his experimental record label – aural conduct – she found connection through their shared philosophies of interfacing between contrasts, or as Luke aptly describes “music evoking dualities.” Tune in for an hour of concentrated exploration.

aural conduct is a record label focusing on music that emphasises process and detail and provides an open, experimental platform to artists. It channels music evoking dualities: zeitgeist and timelessness, melancholia and optimism. Poetics, through sound. The name aims to imply and serve as a reminder that music is a form of exchange that can channel sincere and emotive complexity, beyond language.

Interface 7 w/ Luke Cohlen

Intimate storyteller Cara Mayer delivers tales of 'stolen kisses' in a sublime daydream of pastoral sounds. Exploring the intersections between overlapping sounds and structured song, Cara intricately blends personal and found field recordings with a unique assortment of curiously charming folk music. A beautifully obscure journey through buzzing and humming streets, in gleeful procession of Cardboard Lamb.

"This mix is about stolen songs – music overheard in the street; 
sounds that drift between song and half-song. 

A car playing salsa as it passes you,
a service in St. Peter’s Basilica,
an owl, a cricket;
subway buskers,
restaurant owners,
ice cream trucks,
Christmas markets…

I hope to pay a small homage to the fissure, to blur the boundary between the two; to send a big bright cotton bud to unclog your ears and expand the notion of ‘song’."

Naked Gums w Vanja Rakic: Christoph de Babalon Tribute [07.08.2023]

Somewhere 12 comes from spiritual companion Luis Martin Gonzalez. An untraceable lineage of deep, ritualistic musings that goes deep into the bowels of an enveloping, psychoactive listening environment.

On the surface, ceremonious cycles of sound produce a trance-induced delirium. But as these incantations take hold, the spacious repetitions give way to hypnotic visions of an expansive sonic underworld. Buried in the resonant psychedelic vibrations, a palette of wild, ineffable sounds ripple to the surface in sublime iridescence. A total trip.
