a dear friend bringing something magical to these early-morning dances, from the valleys of southern France to western Portugal around a certain lake.

"Did you ever hear of solfeggio frequencies? They use specific sound patterns to help stimulate, exposing your brainwaves to a range of beneficial frequencies. From there, these vibrations travel through the body, promoting circulation, energy flow, and rejuvenation. Even though those frequencies are not necessarily primary in those 3 hours the destiny is. 

Having worked those outstanding productions in many different combinations over the years, it took a long time to finally share them together in an open air setting. 

I'm still getting excited from the shared memories of vibrating in a beautiful valley of the Provence on the power of klape nunsen's soundsystem, all formed by a beautiful connection of life. Waking up in misty clouds riding to a rising sun, subculture is strong and alive!"

We are delighted to begin the year with a mix from ASIP (Ryan Griffin), the founder of A Strangely Isolated Place - a label and mix series that has become a cornerstone for contemporary ambient music. Inviting him felt long overdue, and we couldn’t be happier to share this contribution from someone whose work continually inspires us. For this mix, Ryan delved into musical memories, crafting a journey filled with nostalgia and influences. As he beautifully puts it:

"Thank you, Mareen, for the invite to your series. This mix is full of nostalgia, some Balearic undertones, and classic approaches to ambient electronic music, without an agenda. It starts to speak to some major influences on me over the years. Growing up on 90's electronic music, influential summers in Europe, and the formative years of early 00's IDM and electronica. If Unrush is self-described as 'a serene space within the mind that is free from the encumbering stresses of daily life,' then this is music that always helps me get there."

Ryan’s contribution is a heartfelt journey through time, marked by the sounds that have shaped him and continue to inspire, perfectly embodying the unrushed ethos. Let yourself drift and enjoy... ❤️

Divina Mundi: Tales of a dream and an acoustic reconstruction

When I enter the forbidden world, I'm frozen. I don't move, I look around. Everything seems strange to me and everything is completely different from what I am used to. I have no idea what's happening to me right now and I feel scared. This place is bursting with life and the creatures don't look like normal animals, but are much more airy and abstract. Every time I try to look at them, they disappear again, which makes it difficult to make an accurate observation. They make noises, which sound very harmonious and oscillating and have a mystical effect. The atmosphere in this place is completely filled with these benevolent sounds without being perceived as disturbing. I realize that this world is and has always been in perfect balance. In this pre- or post-human reality there is nothing that can disturb this tender and sensitive harmony. This thought is disturbing, because I know that a wrong action on my part would disturb this balance and endanger this utopian system. So I stay calm and observe everything without moving. Every object in this world is in motion and everything seems to revolve around a center point, which is too abstract to be recognized by me as such. Entropy is not present in this world. There is no intrinsic quest for disorder, because everything is perfect.

Mysteries of the Deep Podcast, Chapter LXXXIV

Mysteries of the Deep LXXXIV - AGONIS | DIVINA MUNDI

Long-time resident of The Labyrinth (Japan, @mindgameslaby), Hiyoshi’s vivid, contemplative ambient mixes draw together musical elements from a diversity of sources, yet retain a rare purity of emotion and atmosphere.

With Patterns of Perception 33 Hiyoshi aims to capture the essence of his most affecting sets of the past year, including at Sound Garden, Labyrinth, and One party, while also paying respect to friends and artists who’ve mentored and supported him.

The result is a lucid, ethereal selection, a dance in the diffuse sunlight, on the surface of the lake, always hinting at the depths below.

Diving into the endless depth brings you back home...

Saphileaum is one of the names of Georgian multi-media artist, Andro Gogibedashvili. The moniker Saphileaum was born in 2015, highly inspired by esoteric, mystic, new age, cosmic and visionary art and teachings, which hold a huge role and are still a source of constant inspiration. Saphileaum’s sound is often described as cosmic, spherical, light, visionary, innovative, tribal and hypnotic.

Experimental soundscapes and live performances draw from a wide array of disciplines, from ambient, traditional and world, to early electronic, live avant-garde and contemporary.

Subtle yet expansive, introspective yet universal, we create a space with the support of likeminded people, to both collectively and individually explore the depth and richness of infinite existence.
