I am really excited to share the next Deep Mind Music mix, made by my good friend Amphybian (fka Harry). Over the course of nearly two hours, Amphybian takes us on a wistful and mysterious journey, balancing density and effervescence in a slowly evolving and thoughtfully programmed narrative ☁️🕊️

The first half of the mix takes us up through thick clouds into flight above the earth, providing a vast sense of scale and a humbling perspective. I felt as if I was soaring through the stratosphere, at once both infinite and infinitesimal. As the mix unfolds, mossy carpets of drones and fluttering arpeggios carry us across a limitless expanse, thoughts and details slipping in and out of focus as we spiral inwards 🌀

In the second half of the mix, moments of joy give way to moments of sorrow, coiling into quiet eddies of emotion. The density of sounds slowly evaporate away into more subtle sonic touches and muted colours. I see a wet woodland after rainfall, a dust mote peeking through darkened branches, and the trickling of dewdrops on my skin.

As the mix concludes, and we gently ascend to wakefulness, I’m left with the blissful feeling of a misty sunrise after a darkened dawn. As the evenings grow dark, trees turn, and the air chills, this mix provides the perfect soundtrack for the seasonal shift to introspection 🌙🤍🍂

Some words from Amphybian about the mix:

A dream...

“…an optical image that had disappeared into his consciousness, been absorbed by memory..."

Interview below....

1. How and why did you get into producing / dj’ing?
''I'm just realizing now that it will be soon 10 years since i started to try Ableton and djing. It was due to the great moments i had going to concerts and clubs around 18, moving to Barcelona with friends.''

2. Who, What/where was your most coziest gig you’ve been to or experienced and why?
'' Doing two live sets from different projects at de school for one eye witness night. Full circle moment as I lived briefly in Amsterdam exactly the year that de school opened and that's when I met Colin and we became good friends.''

3. Do you consider yourself an introvert or extrovert in the music scene?
''mmhh in the middle - i love to collaborate and meet new people but I also don't want to disturb anyone from their thing.''

4. If you had to choose 1 track to vibe out too forever, what would it be?
''cant say but guess any frank ocean ....''

5. What is your routine when preparing for a gig / production/writing session? Do you have any special remedies/ mental/physical prep/ places to go to? 🙂

''I always try smoke a joint 🙂 but its cool if not. Also my confidence when making music is always changing so my way of approaching it too.''

Expect exquisite ambient textures, deep rhythms and surprising trips into otherworldly electronica.

1. How and why did you get into producing / dj’ing? 
I’ve been passionate about dance music since I can remember, living in music-centric cities like Leeds and Berlin were super inspiring (I did my dissertation on clubbing in Berlin lol) but it never ever crossed my mind to become or learn to DJ. When I moved to Mile End in London in 2019, I lived in a large house with 5 gals which we chose because of a sexy two room basement that we then proceeded to use as a club for five house parties. We had a strict rule “no dicks on decks” to promote female-DJs and naturally I then taught myself to DJ since being on the aux in the basement didn’t quite cut it… 

2. Who, what/where was your most coziest gig you've been to or experienced and why? 
Definitely at Kwia in Berlin in November 2021. It had just opened, I don’t even remember who was playing but I was totally mesmerised by the ‘shoes off’ policy, the cozy sofas and soft furnishings, the warm pastel colors, the incredible lighting and art installations, the sit-down DJ set-up and the fact they had a smoke machine. I went back every night of that trip because I was so obsessed. If I could make my future living room like I would..

3. Do you consider yourself an introvert or extrovert in the scene? 
On top of DJing I have my fingers in many musical pies including co-running two events, Whomp and Perspectives, as well as being on the Music team for Above Below Festival. Therefore I’d say I am an extrovert in the scene - I thrive off connecting with people around the world through music and have a passion for bringing new psychedelic sounds to London and the UK beyond. 

4. If you had to choose 1 track to vibe out too forever, what would it be?
SUCH a tough question…but I think it might have to be Unknown Artist - Untitled A1. The groove always puts me in a good mood and I love the weirdo vocals. It’s my favourite track to listen to after a night out. 

5. What is your routine when preparing for a gig / production/writing session? Do you have any special remedies/ mental/physical prep/ places to go to? :)
It depends on the gig but usually I spend weeks digging (when I can) with the venue/time/lineup/crowd/country/promoters in mind. I try to reach out to the artists playing before / after me to understand their vibes and craft something interesting that’ll work. After digging I go through my rekordbox and make playlists of different vibes that I weave through during the sets. Some sets I plan more than others depending on how nervous I am…

ani/live Fifty Seven: Bas Dobbelaer @ Mostra 2024

It is a pleasure to have gifted Switzerland based artist @timnah-sommerfeldt with us for the 26th episode of our Herbarium mix series! 🌱
She composed a trippy journey through ambient, dnb and grey area - a really deep and introspective ride. She created a very coherent story around her choice of plant, the European beech. 

Here's a little backstory by TImnah about her choice:
"I chose the native, beautiful European beech (Fagus sylvatica) because it serves as an important point of reference for me during my mushroom walks in the forest. Among all the trees there, it is especially the beech that always guides me.
A large mushroom community lives in symbiosis with this impressive tree. It's fascinating to observe how this natural cycle begins anew each year—from summer into winter.

~ The coexistence of the beech with fungi begins when the delicate root of a beech seedling comes into contact with the soil and the mycorrhizal fungi living within it. It only ends long after the tree's death, when the dead beech wood is completely decomposed. ~

My mix was recorded after a snowy, cold November day in the forest and is joyfully dedicated to the European beech, which gifted me a delicious dinner 🍄‍🟫🦪🌳🤍"

About Timnah
Timnah lives, works and feeds the cats in the Northwestern extremities of Switzerland. Brought up in her parents’ jazz clubs and deeply influenced by her brother’s love for dub and soundsystem culture, she started DJing just after the massively feared Millenium Bug had threatened to offset our relation to time and space. Dedicated to drawing her own map of late 20th century sonic landscapes, she spent the early 2000s exploring 90s electronics including breakbeat, triphop, ambient techno, drum&bass, house and jungle. After a short but sweet excursion into producing in the early 2010s, Timnah dedicated herself fully to spinning the wheels and transversing genres, gravitating towards her current signature sound that spans immersive sound baths and intergalactic carpet rides in half-time. Timnah is a member of Amenthia Recordings and a recent addition to the A Walking Contradiction Collective.

The recording of my set on The Mudd Show x Radiance in the beautiful loft space at w37 Berlin on the 30th of November 2024 ~ also on https://youtube.com/watch?v=bRzN3AeMfsc

This type of set is one I adore playing, but don’t often have the occasion to, neither fully ambient nor for the dancefloor ~~ a fluid liminal zone of flickering rhythms and shimmering tones. A glowing meditation to cleanse and clarify 💠

Feat. music from: Brendon Moeller, Davis Galvin, Daris Hopper, mu tate, LDS, Re:Axis, Aleksi Perälä, Ishq +++

Hope you enjoy 𓆩ꨄ︎𓆪
