The Orb founder Dr Alex Paterson has been an extremely busy man of late. Having helmed the prolific ambient house collective for over three decades, he's now adding several new ventures to his evergrowing arsenal.

Among these are a fresh new label, Orbscure Recordings, which will be a platform for Alex's output under his various guises. Launched under Robin Collins' Cooking Vinyl imprint, the label will also be an opportunity for Alex to show off his A&R skills, an area he cut his teeth in for EG Records. First up is a collaborative release from himself and fellow Orb member Andy Falconer under the name Sedibus, which was predominantly masterminded remotely and marks the pairs first work together in almost 30 years.

On top of the new label and the fresh collaboration, Alex has also announced the release of ‘Babble on an' Ting: Alex Paterson's Incredible Journey Beyond the Ultraworld with The Orb’, a book written by close friend and journalist Kris Needs that documents his life from childhood through to The Orb's activities and his brand spanking new label.

It's a wonder he managed to find the time to steer the ship for this week's Monday Is OK mix. It is literally what the doctor ordered—he also prepped the Hors d'oeuvres, set the table and paired it with an interview about various bits and bobs—so get yourself comfortable and let Alex helm the boat safely out of Plymouth...

https://soundcloud.com/mattxavier has been a friend of mine for many years now. A fellow music obsessive and trusted voice when it comes to all things ambient, techno, and beyond, we finally managed to meet in person while I lived in Los Angeles, and we stayed connected over music ever since. 

We’ve swapped stories about pressing vinyl and running labels, and he was the reason I first crossed paths with Joel Mull (Damm) at one of his gatherings held at a beautiful Topanga home. It was a serendipitous moment that still echoes today. 

A proponent for the deeper layers found in music, Matt has since become a practician, ambassador, and pioneer for psychedelic soundtracking. Along the way, he shared tracks from ASIP and other labels that were influencing and guiding his private sessions, shaping the grand masterpiece we present to you today. As his practice deepened, we exchanged many texts discussing his ambition to publish a book about his unique experience and include an accompanying mix on ASIP. 

Matt’s new book, ‘The Psychedelic DJ: A Practical Guide to Therapeutic Music Curation and Psilocybin-Assisted Therapy’, (https://a.co/d/5bFxc2h) is a groundbreaking manual for anyone looking to bridge sound and healing. Whether you're a clinician, a DJ, or just someone who knows the power of a well-placed track, Matt’s work will likely reframe how you think about music’s role in inner journeys. 

His isolatedmix is a fully formed and accompanying ‘Protocol’, which is an example of one of his many guided sessions, referred to as “therapeutic DJing.” Psilocybin Therapy Protocol v1.22a, distills his craft and evolution in this practice for us all to dip into at a surface level, providing a peek into what are very personal worlds prepared for his clients. 

Alongside the mix, Matt joins us for a deep-dive interview, discussing his new book, his transition from rave culture to guided sessions, his real-time curatorial method and how music, when chosen with care, can become a tool for transformation.

We are excited to introduce M. Baumann as the curator of the 314th episode of the series.
Out of Brisbane, Australia, M. Baumann - one half of Echo Inspectors and co-founder of Primary Colours Music (https://soundcloud.com/primary_colours_music) - presents a layered excursion into Ambient and Electronica, shaped under the shadow of Tropical Cyclone Alfred.

"This mix was born in stillness - during the long, anticipatory hours before the storm made landfall. It captures the quiet tension of a waiting world: a cinematic drift through instrumentals and textures that evoke both vulnerability and vastness. At its heart, this mix is also an ode to Tapani, Aleksi, and the artists whose emotive, deeply atmospheric works allowed this moment to take form.
A heartfelt thank you to the musicians - without your soundscapes, this story couldn't be told.
I hope you find something in this hour - as I did - that lingers long after the final note."

Featuring works by:
Tapani Rinne & Teho Majamäki
Happiness
Aleksi Myllykoski & Nils Petter Molvær
Grasgrow & Lindgren
Salvatore Mercatante

Campfire Stories (Earthscapes) by @funky_jeff

~ About The Story ~

“You wake in the deep woods of Québec, Canada. Alone in the cold north. You think you may have seen something lurking in the shadows. Or is your mind playing tricks on you? Your journey begins in ambient territory. From earth, to sea, to the deep clouds and then, to space. Each section, earth to space, is heralded by spoken words. Lifted into space, you then drift there for an endless amount of time, with nothing but headphones and ambient drones for company. Low frequencies included. Your Earthscapes journey has begun.” - Funky Jeff (Québec City, Canada)
