More than happy to share the second Hyperborea session, featuring guest Rafael Anton Irisarri.  An artist whose work is a deep influence and has helped calm our souls with his art so many times.

@irisarri shares a carefully assembled selection of works, spanning modern classical, ambient, and deeply immersive soundscapes.  The mix drifts across melancholic strings, minimal piano, subtle vocal textures, and layers of noise, inviting space for reflection and deep listening.

Alongside the mix, there is also an interview where he shares thoughts on his process and approach. You can listen to the mix and read the interview now at https://futurenevercomes.net/

An artistic platform and creative space that bridges sound, production, information, and the exchange of knowledge and experiences. A home for like-minded artists to grow and connect within a shared aesthetic vision.

O hai!

Born and bred in Poland, where the Sun rarely shines and stolen German cars are most often found, I have been into and around drum & bass for quite a while, though my record collection expands into many different directions and genres. Yet, as the English language allows for the pun to follow, I like to emphasize that it all started from scratch :P Indeed, turntablism was the thing that drew me behind the decks and after all these years I still like to make use of what I've learned so far. However, as far as drum & bass is concerned, there are virtually no limits to what I play (with the small exclusion of the style embodied by McDonald’s most representative figure :P ). Also, I'm 1/2 of atmoteka - a series of atmospheric drum & bass mixes recorded by some of the most prominent producers and DJs who have made - and continue to make - significant contributions to the atmospheric side of drum & bass.

"THEY CALL IT NOISE
WE CALL IT TECHNO"

Serafim Tsotsonis is a Greek composer, electronic musician, music producer and sound designer. He has composed music for films, plays, documentaries, video art and TV commercials. Serafim has also produced albums of other artists and among his latest collaborations are Selofan’s recent album “Partners in Hell”, Ocean Hope’s debut album “Rolling Days”, Kid Moxie’s OST for the movie “Not to Be Unpleasant, But We Need to Have a Serious Talk” via Lakeshore Records and more.
 His personal work extends in a wide range of music genres, including electronic, neo-classical, ambient, jazz, post-rock, dream-pop and it is mostly characterized by the pursuit of an exclusive, distinctive identity: a mixture of soundscapes combining both cerebral, dynamic sounds and melancholic, atmospheric elements. 
While he mainly works at his home studio in Athens, he founds strong inspiration in his hometown of Corinth, a small seaside village in southern Greece, where he often collects nature sounds as a primal material incorporated in his pieces.
He has released 5 solo albums under Seattle-based label Hush Hush Records and Greek-based label Klik Records and many EP’s. 
Recently being unveiled as one-half of dream-pop duo Ocean Hope alongside his sister Angeliki, they released an EP, as well as their debut album, under Hush Hush Records.

Athens based producer/DJ, crafting sonic spaces with pulsing intricacies and unpolished grooves.
