For the next instalment of the series I present a winding, evocative mix from Avsluta. I first came across Avsluta's sound through her mix for Rapture Network's 9128.live takeover (https://soundcloud.com/rapturenetwork/avsluta-9128live-15-may-2021) and after listening to more of her mixes for her own ambient-based platform @introspective_electronics, I hit her up for a Deep Mind Music entry. 

Avlsuta's sound is highly immersive: her mix for the series takes listeners through winding cerebral sounds, each track building upon the last, slowly unfolding into a vast expanse of sound. To me it feels like floating in the middle of a still lake at night, looking up at the twinkling stars and crescent moon, adrift and contemplative. We are then washed up onto the shore with trippy bubbling beats, before the mix gently peters out in a blanket of golden warmth. I hope you enjoy listening to this trip as much as I do.

For the photo Avsluta has chosen one which she says brings some beautiful memories from years back in Mexico. Here are some words she has to accompany the mix:

Scattered memories of journeys
To places I have never been
Or those I call home
For a few days or for years
The rush of taking off and landing
Writing history together
With strangers
And lovers
Whispering secrets
To rivers 
And trees
...and listening
Always listening
And dreaming

Rain falls here in Brooklyn as we arrive on the last Sunday of 2024.To mark this occasion and the final guest mix of the year, is none other than Parallel Perception founder, Yoel Simoni aka Paragon. Having met at Mostra in Barcelona, there was an immediate connection as we listened through a weekend of incredible music. His mix for this morning, comes as a welcome companion to the dreariness outside, through his use of warm, textured tracks and field recordings. Setting the tone before deftly diving into the deeper side of Ambient.

Sundays are for... Paragon

This month, we are delighted to welcome Vinsen, based in The Hague, to our series. Slowly and steadily, he’s been crafting a musical realm that drifts between heartwarming melodies, textured soundscapes, and subtle grooves. His mixes and DJ sets reflect a deep passion for storytelling, drawing inspiration from fantasy worlds, sci-fi books, and the everyday beauty of life in his city.

This particular mix was recorded mostly at the enchanting Above Below festival in the UK, surrounded by rolling hills, a gentle brook, blooming trees, and birdsong—a setting that felt straight out of a fairytale. Inspired by the magic of the landscape, Vinsen brought that dreamy atmosphere to The Coombe, the festival’s special ambient stage. The final version has been subtly adapted for a more intimate and conscious listening experience at home.

Hailing from Wales but a resident of Japan for the past 25 years, Steve Good has, in various forms, been involved with music for his entire life. From classical violin through just about every genre imaginable, he finally found himself sucked into the vortex of London’s rave scene in the 90s. After moving to Tokyo in ’95, he started work at a recording studio, producing, mixing, mastering, remixing and programming music for artists, bands, games, and TV commercials, while simultaneously DJing for clubs and parties and producing via his own downtempo project, Puff Dragon. Involved in Labyrinth since its beginnings, Steve takes responsibility for that festival’s legendary sound quality.

After moving to the wild northern-Japanese island of Hokkaido in 2012 with his family, he found natural inspiration for what is now recognised as the Labyrinth sound. The epic beauty and remoteness of this icy, rock-covered isle on the north-west corner of the Pacific Ocean became the inspiration for Steve’s musical explorations of the interplay between the human and the natural, creating a huge and lasting effect on both his own musical output and the indelible artistic mark of Labyrinth Festival.

This present live set grew out of a phase of sadness and listlessness Steve experienced as the upheavals of 2020 ricocheted across the globe. In the absence of those usually unnoticed markers of the passage of time, anchor points drift and the moorings that ground opportunities for perspective and insight flit and vanish. Yet in this sea of disorientation, the plants continue to grow, rivers flow, waves crash, and the seasons keep on turning. In place of what appeared to be missing arises the possibility of experiencing each moment in its sublime evanescence. Steve Good’s Patterns of Perception 67 is forest music, mountain music, lake music. It holds chaos and beauty within it, transporting the listener to places both on the edge, and at the core, of the fleeting beauty of existence.

After witnessing his ethereal, truly moving opening set on day two of last year’s Labyrinth festival, this mix is a uniquely personal one for our collective. We’re delighted to welcome Steve onto our platform to share his inimitable musical vision.
