Mixed from Moscow by @zhuravkovasophia

Musician and selector Sofia Zhuravkova has recorded a new mixtape for our series. Her music is a delicate and contemplative soundscape crafted from field recordings, electronic and electroacoustic sounds, drones, and spoken word. Her music can be found in the catalogs of Infinito Audio, Ny Agenda, and Best Effort. Today, Sonia is a regular resident of NTS radio and one-half of the duo Ewer. Her monthly show focuses on contemporary interpretations of the ambient genre. 
 The next hour will help you overcome aerophobia, stabilize your blood pressure, and showcase various forms of ambient dub, shoegaze, and ethereal trip-hop.

Mixtape For W Λ V E S

Sophia Zhuravkova – Mixtape For W Λ V E S 110

Track ID: @caapii

https://blushtbc.bandcamp.com/

A new episode in the series features a very special guest—Tim, aka caapi, a driving force of Glasgow’s underground scene. Over the past few years, Tim and @lizzie-urquhart have been creating the deeply heartfelt and immersive label @somewherepress. 
Now, Tim has launched their own label called 'blush', and this mix serves as a kind of sonic palette—or mood board, if you will—that they’ve carefully curated to establish the tone and identity of the label.

Listening to Tim's mixes is always an incredibly fascinating and inspiring experience for me. They are crafted with such skill and intricacy, always full of hidden layers and depth. This mix is no exception—I listened to it several times before its release, and each time, I discovered new shades and nuances. I'm thrilled that Tim chose to present such an important and personal story in the De Kat Memwa series.

Here’s what Tim had to say about the mix:

*My intention with blush is to explore DIY, arcane and delicate sound work with a playful and personal approach.

I recorded the mix as a way to understand the sound that's been forming in my mind over many months, and it captures the mood of what I'm going for.

At the heart, it's an exploration into ambient guitar works, particularly the kind of ephemeral moments when a zoom recorder is left on and spontaneous playing merges with the environment. But there's also a playful distortion to this, tinged with the influence of obscure '90s ambient trip-hop and sample-based music.

My first tape release as blush, by ana reme, explores romantic atmospheres and dated textures and is a big influence for me also.

I'm drawn to fluttering synths through layers of hissing tape noise, ambient guitars recorded serendipitously, obscure trip-hop that never found its place, twee indie soft rock, and everything in between.

The photos are of a waterfall in Bavaria that I photographed in the summer—they felt kind of right for this mix: a bit mystical but also strange and kind of timeless.*

De Kat Memwa #57 w/ caapi (blush)

This album is a meditative journey to myself through sound, where melodies, voice, and field recordings of nature intertwine in the soundscape. Inspired by deep connection, stillness, and the sublime essence of the natural world, each track is a reflection and a search for balance and harmony. 
Created between 2023 and 2024.

Rewind Show #1 - Il est Viril - February

@moabmusick
Montreal, Quebec. A vast, adorned studio—an after-midnight sanctuary for the MOAB collective. Outside, winter carves its presence, the snow piling high against the factory’s walls. Inside, time dissolves into a sprawling, 24-hour reverie—music unfolding in an endless current, every moment captured, distilled, refined.
MOAB is a Montreal-based collective that embraces improvisation as its guiding force. Long, unbroken sessions where intuition eclipses thought, and where the body moves before the mind.
This is their first offering, released on Knekelhuis. A document of instinct, frozen in time yet endlessly shifting.

Chouette Journal présente Chouette Festival w/ Baudouin Da Bodinet [18.03.25]

Fin da quando ero bambina c'è stato qualcosa di sbagliato nella mia testa,         
la mia testa  
la mia testa
la mia testa
la mia testa..
La minima deviazione mi fa sentire abbandonata in fondo a un pozzo. 
Ho paura che qualcuno mi lasci, quindi me ne vado prima che lo faccia. 
Vorrei gioire della felicità degli altri, ma non posso, 
non posso, 
non posso, 
non posso, 
non posso.  
Sono una amante appassionata, ma l'attaccamento mi spaventa. 
Fin da quando ero bambina c'è stato qualcosa di sbagliato nella mia testa, 
la mia testa, 
la mia testa , 
la mia testa.."

Living Room n°85 ~ @living_roooom sleep set

8.5 hour hybrid set recorded on the 8th of February 2025, 23:30-08:00 at Oficina Municipal do Teatro in Coimbra, Portugal by @asiootus and @usofusofusofusof

~~~

q. pls introduce yourself:
a. Hi we’re asio and usof from the Living Room crew


q. is there a story behind the mix?
a. We were invited to perform a sleep show by the Ouvido Absoluto crew in Coimbra. We were very excited because playing a sleep set was always something we wanted to do. We've been collecting tracks specifically for an occasion like this for many years. On top of the different tracks we were improvising with a variety of digital instruments, to create an organic canvas of sound that is always moving, but very slowly. The idea of influencing dreams with music is one aspect that we found particularly interesting. So for that reason the set is not always focused on creating comfort, but rather different, sometimes quite alien moods.


q. what’s the best way to enjoy your mix?
a. Sleeping and dreaming.


q. describe a favourite object in your living room…
a. Perhaps the red desk light in Cosmos (technically our living room:). it creates a very cozy atmosphere.


q. are you working on any projects right now (music or not music)?
a. The whole Living Room crew is soon set off to play at Waking Life. After that we’ll have a string of events in Lisbon, with the next one being on the 6th of July.
