RADIO.D59B / DEEPARTMENT FALL #2 w/ Claudio PRC

Metallic drones oscillate between micro-tones, seeping down into the depths of our conscious minds. Our next guest, Bryan Kasenic, is no stranger to such sonic imagery. Anyone who has dived into the murky world of underground electronic music has undoubtedly come across The Bunker New York, which has established itself as much more than a party thanks to Kasenic's dedicated hard work. Through years of careful curation, renowned events, records, and podcasts, The Bunker has evolved into a community founded on connection through otherworldly music. 

With the launch of the sublabel Going In in 2020, Kasenic decided to promote the realms of long-form music compositions suited for more meditative moments. With 14 releases to date, he has transformed his devotion to alternative musical forms into reality. His Unrush contribution is a palpable display of this passion, turning his prowess as an experienced selector into a ruminative passage of sound that transcends time and space. So tune in, drop out, and let your thoughts dissolve into the ether.

Thanks a lot https://soundcloud.com/thebunkerny

Innesti is quickly establishing a presence among purveyors of deep, ethereal music. In his latest, "Drifting" we are treated to a uniquely delicate and solitary side of the esteemed producer.

RADIO.D59B / DEEPARTMENT - Winter #2 w/ Claudio PRC & Kangding Ray

Mix #7 in the Don't Throw Stones series comes from Plantera, without doubt one of my favourite dj duos. Their ongoing Noods Radio residency is a deep, ethereal exploration of trancey bliss and thumpy tribal rhythms, while their take on the DTS series traverses an entirely new realm altogether. 

A celestial adventure through trip-hop, dub and funk, it's an absolute joy to get your ears around. So get involved, and stick it on your biggest speakers. It's a cracker from two of Cymru's finest.

Don't Throw Stones 007: Plantera

Blessed to take the reigns on Faith Invention's ~Groove Therapy~ slot on Melbourne's very own @area3000. Shouts to @donchich for the invitation, nothing but love brudda!

"A two-hour shamanic journey guided by the rhythm of the drum. Bass-driven pulsations emerge from swirling ambience, traversing the depths of the swamp and spiraling towards hypnosis."

Area 3000 Radio - Plantera - 24.05.24

An aural narrative exploring the boundaries between outer and inner worlds. @planterasound's Mason J, dives deep into the many shades of psychedelic music and deep sounds that stimulate the visual and imaginative aspects of the mind—the mix highlights different stages of a journey, whether personal or shared, from initiation to traversing through layers of consciousness.

Release date: 4th November 2024

WHOMP007 : Mason J

Everything in the Universe is a vibration and the world itself was created from the vibration of OM. Every molecule, noise or color is a code of vibration that lives and expands itself on its own frequencies. 〰️
⠀
Our Soundcloud page was created with the mission to become an antenna receiving vibrations from higher levels of consciousness to enrich and fulfill your inner energetic states. Music is and has always been an immaterial conductor for changes in the material world.
⠀
We are launching a series of podcasts to achieve exactly this. All the podcasts by different musicians we love and admire will tell an immersive and trippy story as our goal is to connect you to the creator which lives and maybe still sleeps inside of you. Our sound will center, amplify, reinforce and fill you with energy. The only way to grow is to support others with growth.
⠀
Let's listen together and observe to which version of future we will head for. 🚀
⠀
The first podcast is created by Natalie Pirmann and with this sound journey she wants to give you the idea to enter the orbit of your life, look at it from another perspective and realize that you are a change maker if you act out of the feeling of love, openness and gratitude. The podcast activates these experiences as music has the ability to transfer, enrich and transform.
⠀
This is her most emotional so far, it opens the heart so many times and makes you feel the unity of and the inseparability from the Universe which will certainly give you goosebumps dancing on your skin.

Natalie Pirmann — Out Of Orbit

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"

Stillpoint
At the center of us is a focal point of consciousness
Perfectly still, yet vibrant with life
This is our natural state
Ever at peace, yet ever expanding
Ever at peace 
In knowing that being can never cease to be
Thus there is no death
Only eternal life
Ever expanding 
In knowing that eternity is never done
We are in continuous motion towards what lies beyond
Across endless new horizons

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, 

lou drago
