"I think that this feeling of reflection runs through my life, where it’s like you catch a reflection of yourself in some part of life and it allows you to see yourself in a new light and understand who you truly are, and which intrinsic values you do have that have always been in you and always will be. What is that thing inside you that feels timeless yet intimately connected to the experience of being here and now?"



@ronan-music ( @eternalocean ) joins us for our 27th instalment, to celebrate his first full length album, ‘Reflections On Intrinsic Value’ that came out earlier this month!

Hue & Saturation Mix 027: RONAN

Live at the Music Room for Skylab Radio

Matt Sabbadini aka Third Space (also Nice Setting, and ½ of Knotting) has always conveyed an energetic and deep passion for sound - both through his diverse outputs and our interactions. 

An electronic artist with a focus on modular synthesis, Matt works from a foundation of experimentation. Upon this foundation Matt’ expertly builds hypnotic expressions of experimental electronic music in manifold ways. Much of Third Space’s work tethers the line between chaos and calm, with well orchestrated moments of urgent uneasy percussion, deep and luscious textures and austere DnB inflicted rhythms. 

His debut long player ‘Scissor Kick’ ventures away from a punchier, sometimes club-ready sound found via his three past EPs. Scissor Kick favours deep undulating atmospherics and softly sweeping percussion that beckons introspection. Third Space simply has no ‘signature style’ - he effortlessly escapes categorisation, challenging listeners to break down the metaphorical bounds of genre, urging your attention towards sound and feeling in place of song. 

Third Space joined me 16/9/2022 for episode 182 of Passing Notes.

In this episode of the Futurepast mix, we have a very personal one from Detroit based producer MGUN. 

Having previously released on labels such as The Trilogy Tapes and Don't Be Afraid, he also did Futurepast’s second release of the label. You will know MGUN from his wide range of electronic music from dance to ambience. In this uplifting mix travelling through multiple genres he shows his often twisted, raw and grainy influences.

Brew Records w. Robert Bergman [12.11.2022]

Long time resident at the infamous Salon des Amateurs in Düsseldorf and the man behind Offen Music, Ivkovic is someone with a particularly unique talent for selecting records and weaving them into a larger – and often unusually compelling – narrative. Ahead of joining us for his 4th Origins show this December to close out the 10 Year series, Vlad is up next for Tapes #81.

As one of the finest selectors of hidden musical gems, he has kept his focus on music, especially the dark and often psychedelic sounds that lurk in its unexplored corners. Whether he’s broadcasting on the radio or piloting the dancefloor, Ivkovic is someone who applies a curatorial mindset and a deep love of music to all of his creative exploits. Yes, he’s a DJ, but he’s so much more than that; he’s a storyteller, a connoisseur and, most importantly, an artist.

https://soundcloud.com/placa_fer is a tool to experiment and to connect. Its main intention is to generate a sonic diary, gradually adding layers of information, memories and emotions. 
With an attraction towards storytelling, imperfection and out of control  scenarios, placa's compositions aim to take the listener to concrete places and ephemeral situations with field recordings as its cornerstone. Archiving moments, as if clips were filmed and stored for future reference. 

 "kyo-ka" for Mnemosyne is the sound map of a trip to Japan in late 2019. 

"What was a crucial sound experience in your life?"
When I first listened to my first field recordings with studio headphones I was shocked by the power they had to take me to specific moments and places in life instantly. Even if some years have passed by, they still hold that super power. It is also fascinating how, every time I listen to them, I hear new details and new strong connections are built. The micro macro perception when listening to field recordings has really influenced the way I listen to my everyday context.

Medium J is a DJ and producer from Brighton, UK. Currently situated in South East London where he has held a residency on local radio station Balamii for the past two years, running the show Easy Dreaming (EZDR); an introspective mix series which has featured the likes of P Relief, Slowfoam and DJ Alex as special guests. 

His tastes can be traced as a progression from the blissed out ambient, downtempo and breaks that he plays on his radio show, all the way through to his club sets where he delves deep into house, techno and bass music to create rolling progressions of locked grooves and transcendental party music.

Enjoy a lush mix!

A timeless music connoisseur, Kenya Bahana Sastropawiro, affectionately known as Kenya. Immersed in rhythmic instruments from an early age, she comes from a musically inclined family with roots in the grassroots. The exploration of different dance floors since her childhood has honed her intuition and allowed her to create a diverse palette of personal grooves.

From powerful rhythmic beats and pulsating bass lines to delicate melodic tones, the Yogyakarta-born Kenya's musical selections range from a wide variety of styles. Her choice of music is a description of her world of transitory music.

"The universe sings a deep eternal song, it is the base of the smallest form of life. Weaving in the pattern that is both beauty and chaos. A combination of painful electric shock and magnificent swirling chords.

Through this brief emptiness, in fear and darkness, that merged into one, one bond. Through this weaving mixtape, trying to feel, trying not to be distorted into the void. The weaving of sounds lead you down a route to new places and gives you some different ideas, beautiful and chaotic."
(from text by Else Lasker-Schüler)

Outsiders: Futurepast w/ Katatonic Silentio @ Kiosk Radio 12.04.2024

In the next instalment of Futurepast mix series we welcome the visionary Kuba '97. Embark on a transcendent voyage through downtempo realms where time slows and melodies whisper from another dimension. It begins with a gentle invitation as ethereal synth pads and distant chimes beckon the listener to step into the unknown. With each beat, the rhythm leads us deeper into the heart of the experience, where tribal echoes and pulsating bass lines interact with the energy of the cosmos.

As the journey unfolds, psychedelic vibes curl like vines in a lush jungle, evoking visions of ancient rituals and sacred ceremonies. Moments of introspection give way to bursts of euphoria, taking us to new heights of rapture. The music swells and plunges and we are swept away on waves of sound, surrendering to the infinite possibilities of the universe.

As the final notes fade into silence, we are left with a sense of peace and renewal, knowing that we are in the presence of something truly magical. The Kuba '97 mix feels like a portal to another dimension, a glimpse into the boundless depths of the human soul.

A few words from Belgian sound engineer and producer David Morley about his mix:

"The composition of this mix began while thinking about Mira Calix. The memory of that time when we were all working together with Chantal (Mira Calix) and Andrea (Parker) initiated the first track, one of her pieces. I hadn’t listened to her track Sparrow in a long time, rediscovering it made me appreciate just how wide ranging the music scene was then, so I simply chose music that took me back to that era. Most of them date from that period, others are more recent, but they all seem to have what I enjoyed at the time: an open door to any musical direction you wish to take as an electronic artist. I hope to share a bit of that zeitgeist and that some listeners will discover some new tracks or artists through this mix."
