DJ Sundae says about this mix that «there’s nothing special about it, except that I really enjoyed doing it.». We’d like to maintain that it’s certainly special to us. With a span of just under an hour, the mix is perfectly balanced: A deep dive into the mind of one of France’s most dedicated record collectors and DJs. DJ Sundae has just released the superb Alexis Le Tan proto-trance compilation on his label Idle Press. Together with fellow Frenchman Julien Dechery, he compiled «Sky Girl», a bewitching éducation sentimentale of heartbroken soul and ethereal folk. Be sure to check out DJ Sundae’s monthly show on NTS with Cosmo Vitelli.

Eyes wide, fixated on the ceiling, she tried to keep herself from drifting off, pinching herself each time she felt her eyes droop. For the past few weeks the same thoughts had been creeping into her dreams, turning them into dark twisted nightmares that felt inescapable. Her solution was to stay awake and avoid the inevitable, but there was only so long she could force her eyes to stay open.

Wake Dream - a new label run by Orpheu The Wizard - enters into the world with an inaugural outing from Amsterdam/Tallinn-based Ruutu Poiss. Following previous releases for labels like Levels, International Major Label and Rets Records, he presents an untitled 3-track EP as a prelude to his first long player which is set for release later this summer. The exclusive tracks only available as a pre-release give us a window into Ruutu's tastes for futuristic machine funk and hypnotic abstract electronics.

We often find there are two types of artists. One internalises their process, endlessly perfecting their work while finding the endpoint a massive hurdle, and in turn producing immaculate yet very little art. The other is continuously inspired, so full of ideas they can barely work fast enough to articulate them all. The art becomes by-product of their larger trajectory and not just a collection of endpoints. Lord Of The Isles a.k.a. Neil McDonald seems to be both. He’s always in an evolving state of process where work is constantly shed to make way for a new layer growing beneath, yet he holds his cards closely, cherry-picking when and with whom he releases that work into the world.
Neil is simply prolific. In 2016 he shared with us a vast catalog of unheard beauty, which over a long span of time was collaboratively shaped into his debut album 'In Waves'. In the span between the album release and now, Neil has performed on a number of ESP Institute label showcases from Los Angeles to Amsterdam to Berlin, and released a few efforts with our peers, but all throughout he’s been holed up working on his sophomore album [sigh]. Though patience has become a sort of meditation during this global upside-down, we couldn’t help but squeeze out an interim release to uphold the fantasy. So, four years after the release of 'In Waves', we’re proud to present a very long-winded follow-up single for the album’s monster track 'Skylark'. Accompanied by a previously unreleased album cut entitled 'OmniMulti', the single also touts two glorious remixes; a sunkissed version by fellow esteemed Scotsman Linkwood and an atmospheric dismantling by the Melbourne hopeful Tourist Kid. You see, good things come to those who wait.

Metal is a collaborative endeavor between Bristol and London artists Jamie Paton and Mike Bourne of Cage & Aviary and Teeth Of The Sea, respectively. A shared love for modular synthesis brought the two together in 2018 for a series of improvised live performances and the tracks featured on this EP were born from rehearsals for those sessions. What draws ESP to this music is its paradigmatic nature. The tracks are exercises in improvisation yet there is a level of control in which the performance slowly comes alive. Jam sessions allow for artistic gratification, a freedom of form often at the expense of the listener, but when artists set forth exacting parameters, there grows an opportunity for alternate forms of fulfillment on both sides of the experience. As is typical among stylistic prototypes, a reduction of tools frees the artist to narrow their focus and explore more singular modes of performance. Jamie and Mike chose texture as a concept, namely Metal, and following the aforementioned methods, minimized their instrumentation toward the aesthetic representation of that element. Operating in a void without the convenience and advantages of the infinite tools we’re now accustomed to, they exhausted a short list of granular details, honing their concept to a fine point. Throughout these three iterations on the theme, we hear timbres that depict metal literally, but moreover we gain a view into the duo’s visceral attachment to its materiality, abstractions of its surfaces, and an overall transgression from conventional constructs of beauty. The idea is simple, designed with discipline to romanticize both the crudeness and elegance in one of Earth’s most industrious and enigmatic elements. Metal.
