I was just thinking the other week about getting to listen to a new mix of yours and here it was! Really enjoyable from start to finish, especially as I've been into a slower mood myself lately. Thanks!!

Excellent mix!!!! Made this gardening session perfect.  Thank you!!

Which track is this i can't seem to find it on your tracklisting!

It's been a long time since I posted a mix but after a [mostly] enjoyable battle I was finally able to put something together that I'm really happy with and excited to share.

I had wanted to do something a little slower for a long long time but never managed to see it through. Then about about 4 weeks ago I decided to dedicate myself to the task and spent a few hours each day over a weekend going through all of my records, picking out anything that I could get to roughly the speed I wanted and then tried to figure it out from there. And try I did. The end result, I hope you'll agree, is a slow burning backroom teaser for those looking to escape the madness of the main room and spend a little quality time with their strange uncle Slagbat. A cheeky stomper, you might say.

I would also like to give a big ups to my amazing friends who over the last 12 months recommended some of the albums that I found tracks on for this this mix. Also a big bark out to The House of Dog for being the best darn record shop/dog house there is.

The artwork I found online by https://www.deviantart.com/dietrock.

The beginning of a journey is never the same. Sometimes what happens in between can direct you to a similar path however it is those incidents that take you off course which make things more exciting. Not knowing what to expect and where you might end up can be challenging but if you follow your intuition and feel your way to the right place, the final destination is always worth the wait.

The Other Side 63, Lyl radio 13/12/22

One of the minds behind the inimitable NYC record label @inciensorecs, DJ'J aka @jennyslattery is a curator at heart, carefully sculpting the look, feel and sound of the label she began with Anthony Naples back in 2017 while establishing her own blueprint as a top-tier selector of deep dance rhythms from around the globe. She's also one of the three DJs behind the wonderful @down-2-earth mix series, a local music hub with a heavy focus on emerging talent from New York City and beyond.

Immerse yourself in hour of chunky grooves and mysterious moods with plenty of freshly sliced cuts from the Incienso inner sanctum alongside some bonafide UKG and rave nostalgia!

Interview

MDC.279 DJ'J

"This podcast is inspired by the relationship  between machines, technology and the future that translates into all kinds of sounds. It will be all about the music and it’s content. The idea is to make you dream about other worlds. To wonder about the story behind the music. An opportunity to explore my latest digs, the history of my favourite sounds, rarities from my archive, and to invite some special guests. For this first show, I went with the flow and picked some brainy, deep tunes. Intelligent music to dance to and to think to."

Machines, Dreams & Rhythm 01 w/ theories (*Berlin) - 20-Sep-23

Folding Realities w/ rea 15.02.24

You can wear a thousand masks without ever dressing up. A game of expressions, gestures, and words can be nothing more than a facade, a shimmer, an illusion. A smile without joy. A tear without sorrow.
How are you? “Good!”
Nothing is as it seems - or at least, rarely is. Or is it?

Rude Boy loosely translated: misbehaving boy, troublemaker.
In this song, the character repeats these words to himself over and over, rapidly, almost as a mantra trying to believe them by force. It becomes an outward-facing shield meant to maintain its effect. This constant repetition continues until exhaustion sets in and only then can he begin to question everything.

It’s time to realize who he once was:
A boy.

Of course, this character is also a part of me. As an artist, the creative process is an ongoing act of questioning everything. An emotional rollercoaster.
Each new piece opens up new philosophical themes.
Am I still myself or have I become a reflection of the market?
Who could possibly grasp the thoughts and emotions flowing through my body when I stand on stage and perform my music?
What expectations do I project onto the music itself?

On social media, the mask fits perfectly. Always positive. Good vibes only!
That’s what I kept telling myself.
But life isn’t like that—and we can only truly appreciate and enjoy the light if we’re willing to look at, accept, and allow the dark as well.

Yin needs yang. Black needs white—and vice versa.
And that’s okay with me.
I’m happy being the grown man who still carries a child within 
embracing the full spectrum of emotion.Rather than following conventional narratives, @Skydrips embraces ambiguity and softness as acts of quiet strength. These tracks don’t shout. They listen. They ask. They shift between states of questioning and letting go, between social masks and personal truth, between the need to protect and the desire to connect.
This is music for those who feel out of step with the world yet deeply connected to something greater. It speaks to the ones who carry contradictions, who challenge fixed identities, and who believe that real transformation begins where defense mechanisms end.
Sonically subtle yet emotionally charged, the EP offers a soundscape where tension dissolves into introspection. With deep rhythms, atmospheric layers, and a voice that is more invitation than instruction, Skydrips invites the listener to pause, reflect, and gently reassemble themselves.

PREMIERE: Tiffany - Dragoste dulce

That fragile moment where beauty leans forward only to be devoured by chaos. Both insist on being heard.

Hi, we haven't actually met yet but can we talk about all the acid you did?

My Recorder was totally distorted in the beginning and I honestly thought the recording did not work but the limiter kicked in after 20 minutes so  here is my set from 20 minutes in, opening Room 1. I am humbled to have been part of such an high quality festival. Thanks to @steevio , Suzybee and everyone that made it such a unique experience. Photo by Saki Yamada and visuals by Hippiezilla.

Read our interview with Sapphire Slows here: https://www.patternsofperception.com/post/a-chat-with-sapphire-slows

As a producer, vocalist and DJ, Tokyo-based @sapphire-slows has a sound that is both indelible and difficult to neatly categorise. Taking cues from minimal, electronica, ambient and off-kilter pop, her own music feels greater than the sum of these parts, combining an unerring sense for space, detail and atmosphere with slow-motion melodies and heady, cosmic vocals to create something personal and truly unique.  

Since starting to produce music in her bedroom in 2011, Sapphire Slows has released an impressive body of work, with LPs, EPs, tracks and remixes coming out on the likes of @not-not-fun-1, @100percentsilk, Kaleidoscope, @nous-disques, @kalaharioystercult, ninih (@ye_yeh) and most recently @ad93rec.	

As a live performer and DJ, she has been similarly prolific, with numerous European tours under her belt, along with regular showings in China, Australia, the US and naturally, her home country of Japan. The diversity of artists with which she has shared the stage (from Lena Willikens, Objekt, Svreca and Ben UFO to Laurent Garnier and The xx) is revealing, and further proof of the chameleonic qualities of her music.

Recently recorded at OATH in Tokyo, Sapphire Slows’ Patterns of Perception 79 is a warm, carefully crafted and kaleidoscopic narrative that perfectly captures the many shades of her unique sound. Flitting between cinematic ambient soundscapes, emotive vocals and breezy after-hours energy, these 59 minutes sway comfortably across dappled layers of sunlight and shade, finding a solid underpinning in the swelling melodies and textural layers that are so tightly linked with her own visions.

Patterns of Perception 79 - Sapphire Slows

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.
