Off The Record Mix Series 24: Luca (E2-E8 Records)

The last Introspective Electronics chapter of 2021 is a truly special one for us. It doesn’t often happen an artist makes a truly deep mark in such a short amount of time. We discovered the work of Inhmost earlier this year through his incredible album ‘The Meaning Of…’ out on the powerful Bern outlet re:st and never looked back. Due to a string of fortunate circumstances, we had a chance to become a sort of online pen palls and started weaving a friendship together which was leading the way to the release of this incredible mix you are listening to now ✨🌚🌝✨

Inhmost is an ambient project of UK-based Simon Huxtable who made a significant impression on the late 90s downtempo-infused D’n’B scene as Aural Imbalance. Apart from his LP out on re:st, he has released on Oslated’s dub ambient sub-label Huinali, Toronto-based Stasis Records and has collaborated with Auxiliary’s boss ASC on two long-players released on the label this year  ✨

This chapter of our Podcast Series is a tour de force of gently drizzling emotions that patiently and tenderly unfold from the meddle of rich soundscapes made up of the elements - ether, water, earth and fire. Each track is flowing seamlessly into the next on this journey that oscillates in time with the circle of breath. One wonders what might happen if we close our eyes and let all the impressions turn into feelings, let them roam free. One wonders…

Podcast Series 19 | Inhmost

The next Far Blue concept has been put together by Leipzig based Anna Malysz. An upbeat start, moving into a deep and thoughtful selection with many personal touches such as field recordings and edits: "I have added in field recordings and sometimes edited the tracks on some points, and looked at it like it was a sort of collage. Sometimes I added little details like a breath to a song, sometimes I distorted and layered the tracks until they're unrecognizable. One thing I put in there, for example, is the sound of a hairdryer. I remember being a kid, waking up early in the morning when it was still dark outside, to the sound of the hairdryer by my parents in the bathroom, being snuggled up warmly in my bed."

This mix was inspired by a trip to Madeira, a subtropical island with lush but raw landscape, a giant mossy green rock with spectacular flora in the midst of the forceful ocean: "The mix encapsulates the feeling I had driving through the intensely green-coloured, grey wet rock landscape with rain-hung greyish sky, then eventually driving past a corner and have a breathtaking look at the sometimes ultramarine, sometimes steel-coloured sea."

@darris-hopper

Darris Hopper is a project by our dear friend Alex Tirelli and it's synonymous with highly emotional electronic music, direct to the place where the deepest dreams and mental relaxations are undergone. Down-tempo and ambient glide free over an experimental dialogue, oblivious to modes and fashions, giving rise to an adventure that flees from the darkness and the day to day to immerse us in that long-awaited ideal moment in which to meditate, open the windows inwards, enlightening the interior self and enjoy. State-of-the-art technology, live manipulation, and from the privacy of the studio, at the service of sensations and playful evasion as a first human need in clearly elusive times for lyrical expression.

IN2STELLAR is a Melbourne-based DJ duo formed by Sarah and Georgia. In addition to composing their own music, DJing, and organizing events in their home country, they have also performed in numerous venues in Europe. 

We were fortunate to bump to each other recently, which resulted in this mix and possibly something more, subscribe for updates.
This contribution to the book is an ongoing journey of our recent fascination with the Australian approach to the electronics. Exciting swings between broken beats and straight grooves, starting off carefully, with neat and seamless minimalism. 

As the recording unfolds, the drive gradually builds, gently unveiling another face of the Australian dance scene and wrapping up the entire story in a very compact way.

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

A long time coming, this new chapter in our Podcast Series comes from our dear friend and one of our favourite live artists, dan nicholls. We’d have a hard time counting exactly how many times we’ve seen them concoct their colourful sonic potions, effortlessly merging multi-layered depth with soft playfulness, oscillating between meditative horizontal sounds, spoken word and field recordings and high energy bass infected half & double time dance workouts. To witness an artist in pursuit of their genuine expression succeed in building a world of their own while being versatile and open is a beautiful thing to behold and we feel so lucky to be able to share this little peek into Dan’s workshop, in the form a live set recording from Brussels’ Brasserie Atlas ✨

dan nicholls is a producer and multi-instrumentalist exploring sounds at the crossroads of ambient, electronica, jazz and free improvisation. Over the years, Dan has moved on from a career in jazz, via electronic music, to a heartfelt embrace of rave culture and the feminist and queer theories which are all strongly present in the current iteration of their solo projects and collaborations. With a powerful grasp on world building with, through and beyond sound, they co-curate the London-based Free Movements - a multi-sensory event series hosting genre fluid experimental music performances crossing both acoustic and electronic realms 🔮

In the true spirit of their highly collaborative workflow ~ always in the process of making with and through people and other-than-human critters, culture & politics ~ this improvised recording features voices of tyroneisaacstewart, Lauren Kinsella, Juju Love, Moor Mother, Gillie Nicholls, Janet Blake and Palestinian activist whose words contribute in different ways to amplifying of marginalised ideas. And it seems that for every word, there is a sound to match, a little something that carries its weight, gives it a warm embrace and lets it slip in our ears with tenderness and gravity to be remembered through feeling. There’s only one way to know and that’s to press play and listen 🐚

Kosmic Skaut graces us with a truly stunning mix recorded with tender loving care for the 52nd chapter of our Podcast Series. The Prague via Brno based artist has been a kindred musical soul and a friend for a long time and we’re so happy to finally welcome him to our cozy lil family circle 🤍

Mikuláš aka Kosmic Skaut goes slow and steady behind the decks, interlocking psychedelic, acid-tinged and hypnotic sounds in his DJ sets spanning multitudes of ambient and dance music genres. For Mikuláš, music is all about collectivity and togetherness ~ a takeout from his early years as a boy scout. He materialises this spirit in projects including organising festival Michalský Výpad in Olomouc, co-running the notorious ÉTER collective in Brno and regurlarly putting on his Kosmic Care events at Ankali’s Planeta Za which he always ~ as an aspiring chef and baker ~ supplies with tasty homemade snacks. Once you try his pizzenka (the cute way to say pizza in Czech) and this delicious mix, there’s no coming back 🍕

In this chapter of our Podcast Series, we plunge head first into the deep end of ambient psychedelia as we take off on this phenomenal voyage through Kosmic Skaut’s wild and wonderful imagination. As we move through the mix, so it moves with us, allowing for softness to emerge in waves of amorphous drones melting into one another, layered with textures, field recordings and electro-acoustic instrumentation in the build up to the rhythmical crescendo that sees it conlcude 🌬️

We are so happy to kick our Podcast Series back into gear with a long anticipated recording from the UK-based duo Plantera called 'Cosmozoa' ~ based on theories of intergalactic spores transferring life to other planets 🌱

I met Lewis and Mason last year at the intimate Sonic Rites gathering, nestled in the wilds of the beautiful Welsh countryside. Smitten by their soothing afternoon set, I knew I needed to approach them and ask if they’d be keen to record a mix for the series ~ and they said yes 💍

So here it is, a magical musical offering born out of synergy between two close friends sharing deep understanding of and passion for music that touches the soul and soothes the mind. And what better time to dial
in this hour and a half journey than after the long weekend of Bank holiday frolics. Sit back, close your eyes and let it take you on a comic ride through soft edged ambient and downtempo psychedelia 💫

The guys also shared a little message for us too to accompany the mix: “Join us on this journey of cosmozoa; ejected into the ether from unknown coordinates, floating aimlessly through primordial dust until being grasped into the orbit of Plantera - gliding through the atmospheric haze before breaking out into blissful serenity, absorbing the sights and sounds of this unfamiliar world while sailing on it's winds"

We could not imagine a more fitting Podcast Series contribution to soundtrack the peak of our of summer than this lush dubby mix recorded by the New York via Chicago DJ & productress Eden Aurelius 🦋

Back in April last year, the inaugural record on the Glaswegian label co:clear lands in the crates at Phonica Records and it steals the show. It was the debut release by Eden Aurelius titled ‘Plateau’ with it’s soft-edged downtempo take on dub techno dancing through clouds of ambient textures and perfectly embodying that netherworld in between ambient and dance music that is the beating heart of Introspective Electronics. Over a year later, we are so grateful and proud to have Eden feature on our Podcast Series with this stunning hour-long recording 💕

Nothing else to do now but to plunge into the dubwise depths of this magick mix where tender energy ebbs and flows in the spaces between not-quite-ambient and not-quite dance. It’s in the liminal space of the soft cracks in between. Aren’t you curious to hear? ✨

Feeling incredibly proud to share this new chapter in our Podcast Series, a profound and powerful mix from the dearest Lou Drago, an artist and human we deeply admire 🤍

Lou is the host of one of our favourite ambient shows @transience-archive which airs monthly on Berlin’s Cashmere Radio to provide listener with a much needed relief from anxiety and together with marum they host sonic-seances under the name @infinity-rug 🫧

Lou believes in the transformative potential of sound and the importance of deep listening. Whether that is listening to each other, our needs or to the sounds around us. In their sets they often explore the sonic landscapes of the in-between, where the listeners perspective dictates the experience, yet holds them in a warm embrace to invite a deep dialogue with the listening body-mind.

✨ In Lou's words ✨

like many of us, my heart has been red with grief-rage witnessing the ever-escalating genocide in Gaza. this mix starts with an invocation for the liberation of the Palestinian people, a struggle that omits none of us if we wish to be truly free. 

the slowly evolving sound journey takes us through several realms and phases of introspection, ghosts of the past lingering in melodies they never heard. sonic energies condensing and expanding, offering spaciousness for contemplation and being with whatever arises.

meandering through earthly realms, through the riparian zone, swamps, and forests we meet with mournful spirits in her gut, casting our attention on the multiplicities of loss we are facing. yet in the shade there are angels, who remind us that we have been doing this for many, many lifetimes. ‘keep on’ they seem to whisper. 

eventually we arrive to the sunset inside, where the Grand River’s winds meet the horizon, guiding our gaze upward toward the night sky where the mysteries of the celestial bodies radiate, Lyra’s visions casting an empowerment spell for all those who listen. 

may we each grow ever surer of our paths, finding creative and yet unimaginable ways to continue our collective struggle for the liberation of all sentient entities, until we are all free.

love,

Campfire Stories 70 (The Solace of Water) by Chryslsm

~ About The Story ~

With those lonely bare branches,
Goodbye kisses of the dropping leaves,
And lonely leaves gathered into heaps,
Street scenes with yellowish tint,
Like it was washed with calmness.
Somehow this season gives solace.

Campfire Stories 70 (The Solace of Water) by Chryslsm

This cozy sound journey was curated for a Gratitude Yoga event over the weekend. The intention of the event was to give thanks, in light of Thanks Giving weekend, to ourselves and all that we are blessed to experience. We raised money for a non-profit organization named Awo Taan Healing Lodge ( https://www.awotaan.org ) here in Calgary, AB. It was a beautiful evening of giving and I am grateful to have been a component.

AMANI Dj Set @ Australia Eclipse - Yoga Flow 1

Welcome to our first podcast, straight from Norway!
For our first round, we have invited our good friend, dj, and party organizer: Korpex.

The young berliner had his first success behind the turntables in the beginning of the new millennium. After moving to Norway in 2005, everything changed fast and Korpex had countless gigs and became resident at The Villa Oslo. 

In Oslo Korpex and his friends also started a new underground concept called: Amenta. Amenta was launched in 2011 and Korpex is one of the main guys behind the concept both as DJ and organizer. The event focuses on providing unforgettable nights on the dance floor, booking both Norwegian and international DJs. 

Korpex style varies between Detroithouse, driving Deephouse and Dubtechno.

After Monument introduced their new norwegian techno podcast, it was no question for him to make the first edition of the Monument series.

This man knows how to play, and also how to create epic underground nights, preferably starting in the night and ending in the morning.

Tracklist: 

01. Matthiew Burton & Kate Rathod - Steel Width
02. Reimut Van Bonn - Maserung
03. Salz - Someday (dubmix)
04. Roger Gerressen - Put That Record On

~ About The Story ~

“How we view ourselves can often determine the perspective and degree in which we see others and the world around us. Each and every one of us has a view. Such a view, that it can shape the future of others and how they live, dream and look towards the future that we all hope is better and more fruitful than our past. This I believe is a common initiative.” ― Jeff Mills
