The latest Deep Mind Music mix is a special one put together by Thailand's Sunju Hargun, as all tracks in the mix are his own productions from his Extans Mantra series. I've been a fan of Sunju's incredible Siamese Twins label since it began, and his prescient talent as a DJ, curator and producer makes him someone I'm very inspired by, and grateful to know.

This mix is a deeply healing and meditative journey, which takes the listener through immersive drones, twinkling acoustics and hazy, mystical pads, as Sunju envelops us in his sonic world. As the mix unfolds, a soft sunset slips into a warming indigo darkness, descending gently into the infinite depths of inner consciousness. There, we are washed by gentle waves of hypnagogic resonance, allowing us to enter a state of reflective peace, before fluttering arps and sunlit motes bring us to the outer world again. Sunju's emotional sensitivity in programming this mix shines through, and it feels particularly personal that he also made all of the deeply moving music in this mix.

"Gather out of star-dust
            Earth-dust,
            Cloud-dust,
And splinters of hail,
One handful of dream-dust
            Not for sale."

Eagerly-awaited deep dream by @syberkid of @deep-mind-music

For the 48th instalment of our podcast series, Introspective Electronics founder Lucie Stepankova aka Avsluta steps in with a live recording of her DJ set at last month’s Ambient Tide, a Brussels-based listening event series run by our dear friend and fellow ambientist Kato De Vidts. We couldn’t imagine a better setting for this set to take place ~ the floor fully covered in rugs and cushions, low hanging lanterns emanating soft warm light, the scent of palo santo drifting through the air and focused audience listening with patience and curiosity 💆🏻‍♀️

Avsluta is a London-based producer, DJ, live performer and event curator navigating the liminal spaces between ambient and dance music. For the past 8 years, Lucie has been deepening her musical knowledge working behind the counter at Phonica Records, catering to London’s ambient and downtempo heads on most Saturdays and making a few good friends along the way. She runs Introspective Electronics as is actually the person writing this text, which does feel a little awkward but it has to be done. Together with her friend Alicia, she runs Terra Obscura, aiming to make clubbing cozy and on ocassion, curates solo or collaborative ambient events as part of Introspective Electronics ✨

Just shy of two hours, this mix weaves a thread of hopeful softness made for moments of deep relaxation and focus. Voices and gentle rhythms ebb and flow atop lush drones, giving way to arpeggiated passages, spoken word and field recordings. Recommended listening at dusk, in a candle-lit space, floating on a pile of cushions and wrapped in fluffy blankets with a mandatory cup of steaming tea 🍵

Recorded live at Ambient Tide in October 2024

Podcast Series 48 | Avsluta @ Ambient Tide

A few months ago, we had the chance to play at an event in Brooklyn, part of a small “Oslated gathering.” The lineup included our own Aspetuck and Moon Patrol, along with Vice City making her NYC debut, and event organizers - Buusto, co-founder of Club Dub Radio, and Maharam, a resident of Club Dub and organizer of Final Passage events. The night brought together a close-knit crowd and a shared love for deep and dub techno. For us, one of the highlights was connecting with Justin (Buusto), Avi (Maharam), and Nathan (Apok), the minds behind the event they aptly named Drift. Buusto and Maharam brought their passion and skill to the decks, making the night something special. We’re especially excited to feature Maharam’s set as part of our “Delayed with…” series.

Maharam opened the night, and it's not a secret that we're big believers in the art of a proper opening set. Maharam delivered one of the best we've heard in a long time. Despite its brevity at just 60 minutes, the set was a masterclass in pacing and mood. Creating a journey within such a limited timeframe takes real skill, and Maharam made every moment count. He explored the deeper end of the spectrum, guiding us through dubby textures, breakbeats, and bass-heavy grooves—perfectly setting the stage for what came next. If we had to choose, we couldn't imagine a better way to kick off the night.

It's always inspiring to connect with emerging talent in our scene who gravitate toward the more refined side of electronic music. Maharam and Buusto are both names to watch, and we're sure this is just the beginning of what they'll bring to the table. Keep an ear out for more from them—we certainly will.

Welcome to episode #105 - Ópalo

Ópalo is the alias of Alejandro Romero Jordan, an Ecuadorian producer based in Quito. Half Peruvian and half Ecuadorian from his mother's side, he is one of the most unknown exponents on the Ecuadorian scene, also getting along with some experimental acts like Rojo or Pinxame which are some of the upcoming artists in the underground scene. The ambient and electronic experimentations of Ópalo combine jazz, downtempo beats and also samples from folk music in his last compositions. Inspired by the sound of the 90's, Ópalo digs ambient music with melodic keyboards to make the audience reach a deep state of contemplation, appearing on labels and podcast series such as @caracteresrecordlabel, @secuencias_temporales, @itsdelayed, @futurepastnosenseoftime, and many others. For this occasion, Alejandro put together a special mix with his productions only.

Campfire Stories 61 (Orakei Korako) by @valentinomora

~ About The Story ~

Orakei Korako “Place of Adorning” on the banks of the Waikato River, the ukaipo (birthplace) and principal papakainga of Ngati Tahu-Ngati Whaoa. Tahu Matua travelled the lands in the rohe; it is here he placed himself. The area was abundant in kai sources, geothermal resources and in an ideal location situated on the banks of the Waikato River.

Orakei Korako has been an important settlement site of Ngati Tahu for many generations. The settlement of Orakei Korako consisted of a fortified pa on the left bank above the river and a living area on the flats beside the river amidst the geysers and hot pools.

Ngati Tahu-Ngati Whaoa has a historical, cultural and contemporary association with geothermal resources within our traditional rohe. Such resources were used for cooking, drinking, bathing and healing. Large kainga and cultivations were often established around these taonga such as at Orakei Korako, Ohaaki and Waiotapu.

The geothermal landscape has changed over time, but the geysers, hot springs, bubbling mud pools and silica terraces remain within the geothermal park. Our taonga have cultural significance to our iwi, and under our care we ensure to remain kaitiaki of our whenua, natural resources and taonga. As kaitiaki ensuring to protect and restore this area is important to Ngati Tahu-Ngati Whaoa.  

~ Notes ~

Campfire Stories is a mix series by friends of Silent Season. The focus of the series is on storytelling through deeper electronic music. Artists weave together narratives using the emotional characteristics of ambient and techno music.
