Oh what a time it's been...

After a small hiatus with the mix series I felt it was important to keep going with it. This beautiful healing music by Berlin based @slowfoam is exactly what the doctor ordered. Slowfoam is the cyber-atmospheric, bubblescape, synthetic pop, and ambient sound project of Madelyn Byrd

"In this mix, I wanted to drift between otherworldly realms to reassociate with the things I love most about ours. For me, some of these things include laying on the earth and pretending to merge into the blue sky, the sonic and energetic sensations of being alone in nature, or staring at a glistening river until falling into a trance. But also, having friends and loved ones I miss so much I start to giggle when I think about the fun we've had together, and then fun we'll have together again." 


Sending love via this intrinsically magical musical language, to everyone in the Animalia community.

Thanks Madelyn for the journey <3

"i ve always had a bit of a split personality between really fast,
loud or sensous bangers and all-envelopping, thick-padded, soothing
ambient. in the past i got to share my poppy obsessions du jour directly on the dancefloor back when clubs were still a thing and i was running a silly,
chaotic and very gay monthly party called saint hollywood.

with almost all of my coping mechanisms suddenly unavailable and a bunch of
writing to do, i ve spent most of the past year digging for soft, soothing sounds i can listen to over and over, especially at times when i can barely listen to music at all. 

lexi inviting me to contribute to one of my fav series has been an amazing gift and i hope this little mix does it justice <3"

Poisonoise Music - Beauty Sleep Mix 025 (Dub Techno / Deep Techno)

Welcome on board, here's the 55th episode of the Stellar Series.

Rig Thrall is one of those artists with strong character and style, plus an eclectic and varied selection combined to solid influences. A racy techno style combining planar and tribal music but also progressive trance, breaks and marked tones from the 80s-90s.

He co-created various projects during his young life in this industry, such as @rakya-records (label & collective) in Paris or OQULT collective in Montreal (facebook.com/oqultmtl) for the most recent.

Also producer, he released two EPs, including one on his own label, and several collaborations on movie or advertising soundtracks. He is currently working on new projects which should see the daylight soon. Case to follow.
Photography by himself.

Merites - Radioscape / Open Source Radio(6-6-2021)

The ICE LP was created by Maxim Wolzyn over a period of three years, mostly whilst touring throughout Germany by train as part of the Günther Lause duo. Spread over eight tracks, the LP poetically captures the complex networks of railways and tunnel systems that carry with them the thoughts and feelings of millions of people, aspiring to attain an overall impression of the collective consciousness of a society on the move. 

Inspired sonically by the soundscapes of urban spaces, rail stations and the pulsing motions of modern mass transportation, various field recordings are mixed with reverberating synthesizer patterns and percussive composition, creating a mixture of straight forward techno and dystopian ambiences. 

While being reminiscent of Berlin's dub techno tradition it also transcends the typical club context, moving into the realm of the intimate and personal.

Kraut Sounds & Polaroid Notes - Sunset Symphonies EP

‘Ora et Labora’ (work and pray) was the saying of the ancient alchemists. Today we don’t pray, but we listen to ambient music to contemplate the mysteries of nature and the cosmos. “Ambient music gives me space to overthink things and/or to get (new) ideas” says Dutch DJ Merites.

The goal of this feature and accompanying mix was to create a journey of escapism and comfort. Whereas the previous Portals feature, ‘Music For Sleeping’ could be deemed very similar, the approach here focused on keeping an attentive layer/s that ended up being more pure to Brian Eno’s definition of ambient music: “As ignorable as it is interesting”, which actually aligns very well with the definition of what it means to be mindful; "the quality or state of being conscious or aware of something”.

Micha Venderbos aka Merites living in Nijmegen, a city in the south-east of Holland. There's a vibrant scene in electronic music here, quite a lot people are active. Think of the electro-oriented sounds of the Shipwrec label, the (dub-)techno music by Roger Gerressen and ESHU or the experimental stuff by Korm Plastics.

He also run two great record labels, Photic Fields and First Notions.

 "I started Photic FIelds in 2012. It focuses on somewhat ethereal electro/techno/house. I released records by Automatic Tasty, Lerosa, Aroy Dee and Submersible Machines for example. The distribution is done by Clone Records, Rotterdam. There's a vinyl EP coming up by VC-118A, the electro-alias of Samuel van DIik (Mohlao), called 'Lichtinval', which I really look forward to.

A growing interest in ambient music resulted in starting a second label last year; First Notions. It releases minimalist and emotive ambient music. So far I released an album by Norwegian producer Mind over MIDI. There's a split-release coming up - at the end of this winter - by Cyspe (1/2 of Artefakt) and Kaelan. This should be a beautiful, cinematic ambient piece.

I decided to focus more on ambient music when DJ-ing also. Ambient music got some more attention lately, which is really nice to see. It would be lovely if there would be more space for ambient; 'chill-out' zones at events and festivals. There aren't many DJ's that focuses on ambient music. With the Merites-alias I try do this.

Together with friends Emiel and Wouter I run a small series of events here in Nijmegen as well, called Deep Motions. It's a no-nonsense night where we focuse on the music solely. For example we had over Conforce, Convextion and PLO Man.

When not playing ambient music, I play more subdued, atmospheric electro/techno and 'acid-ambient' under my alias MV; the Photic Fields' sound so to say.. :)"
For Phonons I recorded an ambient mix as MERITES.
