As co-founder and musical curator, Passaat’s refined taste in music has helped shape the musical vision of Above Below. These sounds are just a snippet of what will echo around the valley this summer. 

Welcomed by a wave of stillness, a smooth, entrancing journey explores the depths of techno whilst possessing an intricate and ethereal beauty. This well-crafted mix was fashioned with the listener in mind; allowing us to enjoy an array of organic soundscapes, driving kicks and rhythmic blends in the same space. Enjoy the ride.  

The valley awaits.

“I’ve been trying to distill a sense of unity between rhythm, movement and ambience in my music + djing, because i’ve been getting a bit stuck up on how those things are often separated. I’ve been trying to think of “ambient music” as a mode of active listening; a feeling of moving through the world and responding to its calls, systems and experiences, rather than sound for introspective or solitary consumption.”

Just a few months back, we stumbled upon Dj wiggles, and it was a delightful find. From pounding bass to creating suspense through eerie ambient field recordings and mind-bending techno/drum & bass, Dj wiggles takes you on unpredictable journeys. You're never quite sure where her musical waves will guide you. 

In this mix, she cleverly constructs a narrative that effortlessly transitions between slow and fast tempos. Creating a blend of percussion, trippy sounds, dub-infused vibes, and captivating vocals.

She shared a few words with us:

Tentacular 16 ~  Dj wiggles

For this month’s chapter of our Podcast Series, we are incredibly proud to welcome Fhionbarra. Barry is a London-based DJ who has been turning heads with his commendably curated and finely executed sets across the city’s experimental ambient & dance music undergrowth and beyond ✨

A real tour-de-force of concept-driven DJing, this is a live recording of Fhionbarra’s mesmerising set from a recent Hardcore Chillout event where the loose concept of the evening was based on ‘Apparent Motion’ – that is, the perceptual illusion in cinema where still frames of film, viewed in quick succession, give the appearance of motion 🎞️

The mix is an interpretation of this concept with the first section taking a scene-setting, atmospheric tone alongside some narrative elements. This is followed by a middle section where time appears stretched or distorted – a reference to the space in between frames where our senses play tricks on us. The final section (or ‘third act’) returns to more overtly narrative territory, finishing with a cinematic flourish 📽️

The last few years have seen a bloom of talent in the Australian underground music scene. Melbourne and Sydney are alive and vibrating with artists covering all spectrums of electronic music, from ambient to drum & bass and everything in between.
Even though he’s been active for several years, Scotland-born, Melbourne-based, Alex Dickson aka Pugilist caught our attention with his ‘Blue 06’ release on AD93 (fka Whities) a little over a year ago. Ever since, we’ve been closely following the work of this talented multi-genre producer.
Alex's style lays its roots in dubstep and bass music which recently has also been influenced by dub techno. Besides his production talent, Pugilist’s skills behind the decks are truly impressive. His mixes are expertly executed, eclectic, rhythmical journeys, that are very well suited for a dance floor.
In the absence of parties, we hope that this marvelous mix Pugilist made for us will transform your room into a party dungeon.
