Terra - Part 3- Before Dawn

Berlin-based DJ Vera presents a new ambient project entitled ‘Terra’. Consisting of three individual chapters, Terra is a musical audio play that tells the story of a night in the rainforest. Paying homage to dear planet Earth, mother nature’s unmistakeable beauty and endless peculiarities come rising to the fore. 

A sprawling journey into the great unknown, each mix takes the listener progressively through a myriad of wild and liminal spaces. Spanning all corners of ambient, avant garde, and experimental electronics, to ethno, Jazz, and beyond, Terra lavishes everything from moments of quiet introspection, spacey drones, chugging beats, hypnotic rhythms and select climactic peaks. 

Carefully woven together as a multi-dimensional tapestry of sound, scenes transition gradually between environments, moods, and states. As the night progresses, forms shift endlessly under moonlit sky, and subtle shades of every kind make their stroke before the sun breaks free once again. 

An intoxicating trip through dense jungle paths, untouched rivers and deep mountain valleys, we dive headfirst into Vera’s kaleidoscopic world of unusual creatures and bewitching natural phenomena. Uncovering the weird, forgotten, and mysterious, Terra invites the listener to co-create the rainforest as an imagined space and to discover the storyteller within. 

Terra started as an earnest musical exploration, but through collaboration and further development Vera hopes to unlock its greater potential as a communal arts platform and ongoing multidisciplinary project. With this audio play as the starting point, who knows what the next chapters will bring...

IS Special 046 - Dan Curtin [Metamorphic Recordings]

After Phaeleh's legendary <a href="http://bit.ly/1hKWqmy"> i-DJ mix</a> there was no way we could pass up an opportunity to have him back. This time he takes on the Slumber Session and packs in a tonne of unreleased exclusive material to deliver this beautiful, ethereal soundtrack to help you journey through your dreams. Take time, kick back, zone out and drift off. This one is special. 
https://soundcloud.com/phaeleh

Read this personal message from the man himself:
"This Slumber Session mix gave me a great opportunity to make a playlist of something I would want to listen to when unwinding, or to just fall asleep to. I wanted it to be able to exist in the background, without focus, whilst at the same time having elements of detail and beauty scattered amongst the layers of sound unravelling as the mix progresses.

In some ways you can think of it as a soundtrack to a dream. There are moments of calm flowing smoothly into more abstract sections. Textures build to go from sparse emotive landscapes to darker, brooding moments of tension. I wanted it to be dynamic, taking in a variety of styles and influences, whilst giving the listener a coherent experience and painting some interesting images in their minds.

It also gave me the chance to put in a lot of unreleased tracks of mine. I make a wide variety of styles outside of my normal output, so it was great to have an outlet for some of that material. There are also a lot of field recordings I've made over the last few years throughout the mix, including some from my travels. The opening section of music features the sounds of walks in Sydney and San Francisco, which at the time was just some subconscious grabbing of sound recordings without any kind of artistic purpose - it just sounded cool at the time. It seemed fitting when I realised where the sounds were from, as the mix would have been the perfect playlist for a lot of my sleep deprived travels.

I ended up getting so involved putting together this mix that there's a lot of live tweaks of outboard reverb and delay units layered on certain tracks to try and get the sense of space I wanted to achieve and give the mix some breathing space. I find that ambient music can be incredibly beautiful and achieve the range of emotions other music can. I hope that you enjoy the musical selection and can immerse yourself in it, even with the emphasis away from the hooks and rhythms of traditional electronic dance music."

Slumber Session: Phaeleh

Bringing the sound to your slumber this week is none other than Arthur Lang. Lang is the not-so-secret alias of UK-based produced Andrew Halford, who has worked with the likes of Foals as well as appearing alongside Ewan Pearson, Plaid and James Yuill. Before we get carried away with excitement over his forthcoming remix of Foals' Milk & Black Spiders, it's time to wind down. Kick back, Lang style!

"I can't recall my most amazing dream, but I had a pretty good dream on Sunday night. My dad and I built some sort of motorised ancient vessel, then instead of taking it out to sea, we took off and sailed to the moon, trajected by us blowing oxygen into a plastic tube. No idea what inspired this, but earlier that evening I had drank around three glasses of wine brought back from Cliff Richards' vineyard which may have had something to do with it."

the most beautiful mix by JOSE PADILLA.........enjoy........

Essential Mix - Jose Padilla - Live @ Cafe Del Mar in Ibiza (09-10-1995)

Tracklist and full article here: http://www.factmag.com/2014/10/06/fact-mix-463-dntel/

Dntel celebrates his new album The Human Voice with a special selection of unreleased remixes.

From his solo work as Dntel, to his various extracurricular projects - the biggest of which, his collaboration with Ben Gibbard The Postal Service, reformed for live shows last year - one thing binds Jimmy Tamborello's work: beauty.

He's clearly a lover of fluttering melodies and warm synthesiser washes, so it makes perfect sense that he's a huge Krautrock fan - and on FACT mix 463, he gives a first airing to Dntel mixes of acts like Roedelius and Michael Rother, as well as similarly heartstring-tugging music by Penguin Cafe Orchestra and Durutti Column.

Where Dntel's music can sometimes, such as on recent single 'If I Stay A Minute', favour skittish percussion, on FACT mix 463 he usually plumps for leisurely 4x4 kicks, letting the originals tracks' melodies - and his skilled, unshowy chopping of them - take centre stage. It's a real beauty.


FACT Mix 463 - Dntel (Oct '14)

Tracklist & full article here: http://www.factmag.com/2014/10/08/fact-mix-464-paul-white/

One of the underground’s most beloved diggers steps up on a mid-week FACT mix.

Paul White enjoys being in the background. For close to a decade he’s been releasing spellbinding hip-hop, electronica and more, mostly on the One-Handed label run by close friend Alex Chase, while also producing for Danny Brown – who called White his “favourite producer to work with”. He also puts in shifts as a library music producer, last year working on BBC2 program ‘L8er’.

After a handful of albums on One-Handed, White this year struck up a relationship with veteran label R&S for the release of Shaker Notes. White’s most – ahem – musical album yet, it features live drums, bass, guitar and vocals, charting “the intoxication, heartbreak and ultimate triumph of a grand love affair.” We know: an electronic producer picking up the guitar is usually enough to make us pull a Tricky on their whole collection, but White’s music has always drawn as much from the Beatles as the Beatnuts, and it’s a move that makes perfect sense in his case.

FACT mix 464 not only adds context to Shaker Notes, it also feels representative of a slightly less grand love affair: the records that White just couldn’t live without. White might be a digger, but here he takes comfort in well-known records by Bjork, Aphex Twin, Boards of Canada, The Flaming Lips and more, while scattering in pieces of his own material and, inevitably, Gong. We wouldn’t quite call it no surprises, but it’s a timely reminder that sometimes, established records are well-known for a reason.

We present to you a recording of the first half of Hypnotic Spa at Sustain Release: Year Five. We were very happy to be invited to close-out the Grove stage at Camp Kennybrook on Saturday morning. What transpired among the pines was pure magic, a spiritual exercise that echoed the sacred traditions of our ancestors, and one that might best represent our efforts with this music more than ever before. It was a blessing and an honor to perform. 

Thank you for listening and for joining us on this journey, may the time you spend with us be blessed and enriching. Special thanks to Zack Kerns for recording this, and a deep thank you to Aurora, Daniel and everyone else for the wonders they do with Sustain-Release. "It's moments like these that we find who we are and recognize ourselves, our place among the cosmos, through time, our journey and beyond. Pure love to all those who tune-in with us and feel the magic, we love you and we're so glad you're here with us!" -Hypnotic Spa

The subject of the second volume in the 2006 liftmuziek sessions is clear - it's a celebration of the now sadly defunct Merck records, which was run and operated by Gabe Koch from 2000 to about 2007. I am one of the lucky few to own a sizeable collection of these records, which I spun fairly often, and then, captured in this, now 'classic', mix.

A long-time favourite in his native country, Gadi Mitrani has been representing
the Turkish underground with esteem since he first burst onto the scene over 15
years ago. 
A unique and prodigious talent, Mitrani’s ceaseless love for all things electronic music has led to some of the scene’s most hallowed and celebrated dancefloors. A true visionary, he was one of the first to notice the potential of Turkey’s electronic music scene — and as such is deemed an influential figure to
many of the country’s fledgling electronic music producers. 
Mitrani’s history with electronic music can be traced back to his early beginnings
in Istanbul. Obsessed by the foreign sounds omitting from the radio, he quickly
became transfixed with 80’s synth-wave and 90’s pop, before graduating to more contemporary acts a la Sasha, The Chemical Brothers and Aphex Twin. 
A move to NYC in his early teens seemed like a natural progression, and it was here where he encountered the likes of The Limelight and Twilo. 
Little did he know it back then, but at the time Mitrani was embarking on a musical odyssey that continues to this day. 

Famed for his signature deep, tech and prog-heavy sets, Mitrani is a DJ notable
for his versatility and a man who’s more than able to chop it up with the best of
them. In 2015 he debuted on Kompakt KX courtesy of ‘Key of Stillness’, a suitably momentous cut that introduced Mitrani to a whole new audience and duly elevated his status within the global electronic music process. 
Supported by well-known DJs such as Hernan Cattaneo and Powel, it’s a true gem in a discography that’s littered with highlights. 
 
The last few years have been equally fruitful for Mitrani. Now a firm fixture in
some of the globe’s best-known labels, he’s repped everyone from Pablo
Bolivar’s Seven Villas, Lee Burridge & Hoj’s Tale & Tone to Maurice Aymard’s Galaktika over past while, with Hernan Cattaneo, Guy Mantzur, Khen, Gabriel Ananda and Danny Howells all regularly supporting his music in their sets.
Production duties aside, Mitrani has also shared the stage with the likes of Guy J,&Me, Michael Mayer, Guy Mantzur, Patrice Baumel, Rampa and Jeremy 
 Olander.
Aside from appearing alongside the latter list, he’s also rocked stages recently in
Ibiza as well as at Off Sonar and Burning Man: proof if needed that this is a man
currently on a fierce upward trajectory. 
With future releases in store for the likes of the aforementioned Seven Villas and
a track on Hernan Cattaneo’s Sudbeat WMC compilation and numerous other
exciting releases in the pipeline, Gadi Mitrani is a name you’re sure to be hearing
a lot more from over the past while.

Witchtape #40 | Guest Witch : Paboona

(Story continued from Witchtape #34)
It was already well past midnight on this full moon night and it had been a long and intense day for the little witch.  Barely 18 hours ago she had never seen another witch in her whole life (as she had been living all alone in her forest since her early childhood), but now she found herself in the loving presence of two elder witches while attending the very first witch coven of her young life.  It was getting a bit cold and the eldest witch had just lit up a campfire (with a few magic sparks).  Slowly the little witch – who had been really tired after this long day filled with mystic ceremonies – was starting to feel warm again.  She looked up at the full moon (which was really bright and yellow that night) and almost instantly she felt the subtle moon energy run through her whole body.  She experienced it in every cell and even had the impression that she was so fully charged that her long brown hair was standing upright (which wasn’t the case, but that’s how it felt).  Suddenly she heard some rhythmic music.  She looked around and noticed that the other witches didn’t seem to hear it.  Then she realized the music was only present in her head, yet touched her soul deeply.  Her body kept on heating up and she started to feel a bit uncomfortable in her clothes… until all of a sudden she reached her boiling point, jumped up, shook off all her clothes and started to dance in a state of ecstasy.  The two elder witches looked at this spectacle with amazement… and smiled briefly at each other while they observed the young girl going wild.  Clearly, this little novice was making progress much faster than expected, blossoming open from a shy reclusive girl into a real fiery witch in a matter of just a few hours.  And for the first time she was even leading the witch coven, as a forebode of things to come.  Of course the elder witches didn’t stay still for long… they also got up, shucked off their clothes as well and joined their little sister in her ecstatic dance, which would go on for many, many hours until finally the moon would disappear behind the horizon to make room for a particularly glorious sunrise.  When the first rays of sunlight touched their skin… the witches stopped dancing and the eldest witch started to sing an age-old sweet song with a soft voice.  She was soon joined by the other elder witch and even the young witch started to sing in harmony with her two sisters… singing effortlessly without realizing that nobody had ever taught her how to sing that song…
