Taiwan-born, Berlin-based composer and audio technologist, Mei-Fang Liau is 'Floating Spectrum'. Her debut album 'A Point Between' has just been released on Temporary Residence and is a collection of ambient sounds sourced from synthesizers, self-made generative software programmes and household objects.

For her Bleep mix she has created a textured world similar to that displayed across her record, featuring the likes of Raime, Laurie Anderson and Tim Hecker, alongside her own productions.

Not only is Stockholm home to the interactive Abba museum and the resilient Greta Thunberg, it's also the home of the next guest in ELSE club's mix series, DJ Clea.

For the past decade she's steadily built her reputation as one of the finest DJs in the city becoming known for navigating both the floaty and the euphoric corners of house and breaks. A few years ago she turned her attention to producing, releasing her first record last year on Unknown to the Unknown sub-label Hot Haus Recs. She followed this up with another EP for Study Records that, like her debut, explored the sounds and influences that reign supreme in her sets.

Footnotes is a show playing music from books, and this month your host Grace Wang reads Forced Out by Kevin Maxwell. A memoir of a black and gay ex-detective from the Metropolitan Police, it details the relentless racism, homophobia, corruption and discrimination of an institution that was created to protect us.

We often find there are two types of artists. One internalises their process, endlessly perfecting their work while finding the endpoint a massive hurdle, and in turn producing immaculate yet very little art. The other is continuously inspired, so full of ideas they can barely work fast enough to articulate them all. The art becomes by-product of their larger trajectory and not just a collection of endpoints. Lord Of The Isles a.k.a. Neil McDonald seems to be both. He’s always in an evolving state of process where work is constantly shed to make way for a new layer growing beneath, yet he holds his cards closely, cherry-picking when and with whom he releases that work into the world.
Neil is simply prolific. In 2016 he shared with us a vast catalog of unheard beauty, which over a long span of time was collaboratively shaped into his debut album 'In Waves'. In the span between the album release and now, Neil has performed on a number of ESP Institute label showcases from Los Angeles to Amsterdam to Berlin, and released a few efforts with our peers, but all throughout he’s been holed up working on his sophomore album [sigh]. Though patience has become a sort of meditation during this global upside-down, we couldn’t help but squeeze out an interim release to uphold the fantasy. So, four years after the release of 'In Waves', we’re proud to present a very long-winded follow-up single for the album’s monster track 'Skylark'. Accompanied by a previously unreleased album cut entitled 'OmniMulti', the single also touts two glorious remixes; a sunkissed version by fellow esteemed Scotsman Linkwood and an atmospheric dismantling by the Melbourne hopeful Tourist Kid. You see, good things come to those who wait.

This week, @maxsalty delivers an hour of sumptuous sounds from 1955–1978 to give your private longings the Italian cinematic backdrop they deserve. True to its title, this mix is a fusion of light and darkness, pairing smoky twilight jazz with bright ballads of love and anguish from classic Italian pop divas. A mix to be savored fireside on a cold evening, with Chianti and a bleeding heart.

The Future of Life Institute (FLI) is a nonprofit working to reduce global catastrophic and existential risk from powerful technologies. In particular, FLI focuses on risks from artificial intelligence (AI), biotechnology, nuclear weapons and climate change.

The Institute's work is made up of three main strands: grantmaking for risk reduction, educational outreach, and advocacy within the United Nations, US government and European Union institutions.

FLI has become one of the world's leading voices on the governance of AI having created one of the earliest and most influential sets of governance principles: the Asilomar AI Principles.
