Theory Therapy 61: DJ Birdbath

As we start this Polën Manifesto podcasts series dedicated to ambient music, we're both excited and overwhelmed facing this blank page we're about to fill with the history of the Polën label.

Dealing with a subject as rich as ambient music means having to draw on the vast range of musical colors and materials at our disposal in order to form a coherent statement, a sensible vision.

So the real question is: what do we really want to say?

To begin shaping the word of the Polën, label curators Paul Rêve & Hidolas share with us the best of their ambient library. A mix that grabs us by the heart and takes us on a voyage of discovery into the diversity of ambient music.

Polën series 01 : Paul Rêve & Hidolas "Manifesto Mix"

"Music can lead us down paths engaging either our minds or bodies. 

When we go through more emotional, expansive and ambient-ish sounds, we tend to experience a more cerebral and sentimental response, that we interpret on a deeper level. On the other hand, when things get groovier, syncopated and sharp, our bodies instinctively start moving to the rhythms. 

I've always found the intersection of these "two worlds" fascinating. Trying to create a space where they seamlessly merge, allowing for a continuous flow between introspection and physical expression"

We are so happy to kick our Podcast Series back into gear with a long anticipated recording from the UK-based duo Plantera called 'Cosmozoa' ~ based on theories of intergalactic spores transferring life to other planets 🌱

I met Lewis and Mason last year at the intimate Sonic Rites gathering, nestled in the wilds of the beautiful Welsh countryside. Smitten by their soothing afternoon set, I knew I needed to approach them and ask if they’d be keen to record a mix for the series ~ and they said yes 💍

So here it is, a magical musical offering born out of synergy between two close friends sharing deep understanding of and passion for music that touches the soul and soothes the mind. And what better time to dial
in this hour and a half journey than after the long weekend of Bank holiday frolics. Sit back, close your eyes and let it take you on a comic ride through soft edged ambient and downtempo psychedelia 💫

The guys also shared a little message for us too to accompany the mix: “Join us on this journey of cosmozoa; ejected into the ether from unknown coordinates, floating aimlessly through primordial dust until being grasped into the orbit of Plantera - gliding through the atmospheric haze before breaking out into blissful serenity, absorbing the sights and sounds of this unfamiliar world while sailing on it's winds"

Podcast Series 53 | 'Cosmozoa' by Plantera

Delikwe live / 16.03.2025

Thomas Gram delivers an introspective and daring mix, a sonic journey shaped by 20 years of musical exploration. Moving fluidly between ambient, techno, breakbeat, dubstep, and jungle, the set unfolds like a living collage. Despite its wide scope, it maintains a sense of balance throughout, held together by a delicate blend of organic textures and electronic depth.

The mix dives into lower tempos and sub-layered atmospheres, pulling the listener into a shadowy, almost subterranean world. Shifting rhythms and evolving structures invite a focused, embodied listening experience, one that challenges without ever losing its emotional thread.
Refined through 21 iterations, this is a deeply personal selection that reveals Thomas Gram’s uncompromising approach and passion for experimentation. It stands as a tribute to the vast spectrum of underground sound that has shaped his path and an invitation to experience that legacy through his ears.
