Guest Mixes

Musics

London-based collector and photographer Alex Yiaxis known as Fantasty in Orbit has put together a mix which celebrates radiant diversity, what Martinician theorist Edouard Glissant calls a “poetics of relation.” The mix dissolves  boundaries, moving across time, space, and place, assembling a meaningful missive for peace.

Séance Centre Radio Episode 67 w/ Fantasy in Orbit

“Space Is The Place”, an Afrofuturistic motto that has helped shape the imagination of many generations of music aficionados, from its seminal iteration in the cosmic experimentations of Jazz up to its reinforcement in the early and most outlandish eras of Hip Hop until its sophisticated revival in the boldest rhythmic formations found in Electronic Music’s formative years. More than an escapist invitation to explore what lies above and beyond our earthly existence, it is a call to transcend our corporeal restrictions, both physical and mental. And here, the “where” is not as important as the “how”, the elements through which we achieve movement matter more than the location towards which they take us, since any musical journey is one of expansions and doesn’t imply destinations. These principles and their implications are instrumental to understand the sound intentions of a sonic explorer such as Fantasy in Orbit, our guest guide for this episode. Imbued with both a taste deeply rooted in Techno’s most intricate harmonies and a vision firmly set in its most dashing possibilities, our selector takes us on a journey of discovery into the genre’s forward-looking past, so we can envision its hopeful future while enjoying its complex present.

NTS 'Doing Time' w/ Fantasy In Orbit & Asger Behncke

Hazy summer night session for no. 71 here, recorded in London in the middle of July and featuring a lot of records and tapes brought back from a recent Japan trip by Alex Yiaxis aka Fantasy In Orbit. Alex is a heavy collector and an all round knowledgeable advocate of the good stuff. We guested on his Balamii show years ago and have been tipped off to multiple records by him since. One for a lazy bike ride, the portable JBL in the park or melted on the sofa. Heatwave material!

Here is the 2nd in a series of 'mixes' I intend to make over the coming weeks of music that I find particularly tranquil. I will try to make these one hour sessions filled with beautiful music that is helpful and calming to listen to while we get through this extraordinarily hard time. The music here definitely helps me feel less anxious. I have taken a slightly different approach on this one and it does feature some beats later in the mix, so feedback welcome on whether this one has the desired effect. It is also available as a 320 download.

Here's a mix I made in anticipation of playing my first time in Moscow. I remember well the great atmosphere at Strelka. The warm hospitality of Sergey, Sasha and the crew. Digging without the shop's owner present, eggs benedict for breakfast. Spasibo, Spasibo, Spasibo!

Basso - Plum Flowers In Golden Vase (2013)

En ces temps étranges, il semble difficile de réfléchir, de travailler ou de se projeter. Comme beaucoup d'entre vous, je suis dans des phases de hauts et de bas. Voici un de mes hauts en écoute libre, un de mes voyages intérieurs dans l’inconscient où l’on pénètre des zones d’ombres. J'ai joué ce concert lors d'une sieste sonore en mai 2019 aux Printemps Carougeois en Suisse. Je vous embrasse et bon voyage. JMO

In these strange times, it seems difficult to think, to work or to project ourselves. Like many of you, I am in phases of ups and downs. Here is one of my ups in free listening to one of my journeys into the subconscious that penetrate into the darkness. I played this concert during a sound nap in May 2019 at the Printemps Carougeois in Switzerland. I virtually hug you, have a wonderful trip. JMO

Sama Yax is a good friend and a great DJ with a lot of passion and emotion. She recently moved to Porto after being a fixture to the Barcelona scene, both as a DJ and booking and hospitality coordinator for the famous Primavera festival. Her DJ sets span from Disco, Latin, Afrobeat, House, Brazilian to Jazz and she’s taken her sets to festivals like SoundEat! and Materia, venues like Freedonia and parties like Goze and Baang.

Lumberjacks Tapes 003: Sama Yax

This mix is a collection of records both old and new that hopefully provides a soundtrack to our current 'head-in-the-clouds' state of mind. Meditative in places and unsettling in others, the intention was to create a-lost-in-thought listening experience. The artwork on the second slide is by German 70s photographer couple Barbara & Michael Leisgen & is a poignant symbol of solitude yet one of optimism which I hope translates in the music.
