After listening to many Freerotation recordings over the years, it feels a bit surreal to share this one. I had such a great time meeting the freero community. Very special to feel the positive vibe and patience to build something new.

Bas Dobbelaer - Freerotation 2024

This is the live recording of mine and @raul_rs set from from the 2nd Subterra party we did in August 2024. It followed an amazing live hour long ambient live set by  @joshua-stefane, which you catch the very end of at the beginning of the mix. 

We played from 11 PM to 1 AM, and although it was only the second time we've performed together, it felt like the culmination of countless Friday night sessions at home with nothing but a bottle of Nihonshu (or 3) and our wits (or lack thereof). I hope we'll get to do it again very soon but for now just sit back, relax, and let Rasbat take you on a ride.

Raul and the SBat - Live at Subterra Tokyo August 2024

Earth Dog 036: Caldera

Camu is next up on our Podcast series with a bewitching recording from last years Springkell gathering. The setting is a dim lit, softly furnished room of a Scottish rural estate with a fireplace gently crackling and whispering into the space. Everyone is quiet, sitting or laying still and diving into the sounds emanating from all four corners of the room, fully immersed in the ritual of communal listening 🐚

Camu is a Spanish born and based artist pulling at the deeper strings of ambient, drone and sound art informed electro-acoustic music. He is the co-founder of Madrid-based event space Especio Perpendicular that he co-runs with local group of fellow deep music enthusiats. Highly recommended for anyone in or visiting Madrid and looking for a night out of the ordinary 🌚✨

Charging headstrong into the cavernous spaces filled with drones, overheard field recordings, sounds hanging in earshot by the faintest thread, this journey is at the same time fragile and powerful. The dynamics flow with intent from barely audible to overwhelming, from fluid to abrasive, no stone left unturned in this microscopic survey of sound and emotion 🕯️

Podcast Series 49 | Camu @ Springkell 23

A dusty old recording from 2018 which I thought was lost, thanks to Adi at Off Grid who still had a copy and also played it out on his show..  

Joe Ellis - Freerotation 2018

An unexpected sequel, exploring the same records and moods as a previous recording in Beijing. This is taken from a recent show for Nurture x Liminal Dreams at The Observatory in Saigon. The plan had been a full spectrum set, but the energy did not feel right. Instead, I decided to play warm and comforting beats, focusing on my musical 'childhood', records from the late 90s - mid 00s. The mixing and presentation is meant to be gentle and relaxing. Enjoy.

Love songs in Saigon

Marking the 50th installment of our Podcast Series is a contribution from our good friend, the London via Manchester DJ and producer Alex Parkin aka Einerlei 🧙🏼‍♂️

With his original music featured on labels including Norite, On Board Music, Control Freak or Sungate, he is a shapeshifting artist equally comfortable dishing out intricate techno bangers (as we’re sure he’d put it himself) as he is weaving emotive ambient-scapes into long form compositions to soothe the soul. Elements of contemporary UK sound and IDM are strongly present in Alex’ productions ~ with their clubbier iterations leaning towards the deeper realms of techno and his ambient sound permeating a sense of deep feels shrouded in mystery 🧘🏽✨

Einerlei delivers over an hour of soothing ambient and downtempo alive with air of mysticism and deep set intrinsic rhythm. Effortlessly floating effervescent clouds of drones are home to voices and utterances oozing seemingly from within their soft intangible depths, patiently holding space for rhythmical energy to grow and release…until the celestial calm reigns again towards the very end of this sonic journey ☁️

Old Love Will Not Be Forgotten (new version)

The former home of Jagger and the Bat and now here lives only the Bat (living in different continents will do that to a DJ duo). But worry not all the old Jagger and the Bat mixes are here as well as my own solo outings not to mention all of the old Arthouse podcasts ready for you to get your greasy mits on. Have at it.
