Rosa 019 - Timnah Sommerfeldt

For the second episode of our Herbarium Podcast series, we are pleased to welcome French producer and DJ @vardaemusic. 
The co-owner of @cosmicwaverecords presents a powerful mixture of breaks and straight beats interspersed with irresistible grooves from the faster realms of our genre direction. 
For this mix we have chosen the shrub 'Genista', which can be found all over Europe. In autumn, the plant forms elongated legumes that can contain up to 30 tiny seeds. These are widely dispersed by a centrifugal mechanism, the movement of which evokes in us strong associations with Vardae's mix.

Sindh - Gupta Tribes (LP)

Konduku returns to the Delsin Mantis series with an exciting double pack that dives deeper into his remarkable fractured rhythms and light-touch synthesis. Over the course of nine tracks, Ruben Üvez straddles the space between introspective headphone trips and hypnotizing dancefloor elegance, operating in a liminal zone of fluid tempos, submerged atmospheres, and pointillist beats. It's an open-ended but clear-sighted approach that aligns perfectly with the direction of the Mantis series. Monument premieres the track "Derinkuyu" from the release, which will be out on the 14th of October.

MNMT Premiere: Konduku - Derinkuyu

Remember Chinese Whispers, Stille Post or Rikkinäinen Puhelin? That children’s game, known all over the world, that illustrates the difficulties of transmitting information, but which also reveals the creativity of discontinuous conversation? It feels like the Patterns of Perception and @awalkingcontradiction collectives have been in such a conversation for the past years across a multitude of label nights, private hangouts, and shared festival experiences.

Based in Basel, Switzerland but unhinged from national contexts, A Walking Contradiction is a label for music and research. Curated by @varuna4053, @lemont-eana and Dead Electronic Space Limited (@ltd_dead), the collective share a penchant for beats - broken and straight - yet can't help but churn out music for the quiet hours. A deeply reflective group, you’ll find snippets of their conversations on social, political, economic, and environmental issues hidden in sounds or in plain sight on the sleeves of their records.

Compiled entirely from new and unreleased material, their Patterns of Perception 102 is but the latest product of interlocutions and whispers between Basel, Berlin, Helsinki and the world in general, paying tribute to the significance of community where the legitimacy of commons is increasingly impugned. 
Levitating within a field of sophisticated textures and percussion, this set burns slowly, but with a luminescent intensity. Angular experimental ambience builds into winding, complex rhythms. Inspired minds elevate delicate melancholia into a true sense of hope.

Patterns of Perception 102 - A Walking Contradiction

I was really lucky to be able to share a guest mix from French DJ and producer @sindh for October's Netil show :)

I've been a big fan of both of Louis' musical projects, Sindh and @9_beats, for a long time. So after finally meeting him in person this summer at Pan D'or, a small DIY festival he co-runs, nestled in a forest in Burgundy, I was so delighted he was able to contribute a mix to the show <3

A hypnotic hour of wiggy half-time dnb and glowing, droney ambient, this mix is pretty special as it's an excerpt from his set at this years' Ouroboros festival🐍

And as usual, for the first hour, I drifted though some tripped-out earthy textures🌿

Hope you enjoy!

Money raised will go to help the Fundación Rediseñandonos located in Bogotá, which works for the reintegration of homeless people through needlework. another part goes to indigenous organizations in defense of life and care of the environment in Cauca region.

As always you’ll find a wide musical spectrum from Ambient, Deep, Tribal, to Drum and Bass.

From A Lost Place: Sigh Of Relief

We have been eager to share this new chapter of our Podcast Series with you for a little while. It comes courtesy of the Basel-based Timnah Sommerfeldt, the empress of all things occult and hypnotic in the realm of electronica 🔮

Part of the well-respected amenthia recordings crew, co-host of Home Radio she runs together with Garçon and a resident at Elysia ~ arguably one of the most loved clubs in Europe ~ Timnah is a well seasoned DJ with strong sensibility in navigating the the deeper, headier waters of techno and atmospheric bass 💫

Timnah’s introspective contribution is a perfectly balanced blend of deep, aqueous drones and murky downtempo carving out and holding space for the patiently emerging stormy rhythms taking the reins for most part in the second half of the mix. Time to brace yourselves for a one way journey into the maelstrom. Safe travels, friends 🌝🌚
