Talisman Mix

Friday morning, @jakemuir opened Hemlock Hole with an absolutely spellbinding morning ambient set. The 'Jake Fan Club' were front and center with a comfortable chair in tow. This wasn't a 4x4 dancefloor moment and those who didn't know quickly understood the magic that Jake was creating. It was a beautiful way to start the day and we are grateful for Jake's ability to generate such a special atmosphere.

Campout Mix Series: Jake Muir

For the extended Q&A & OG pi pi pi track game... please visit our website -----> pipipi.life <-------

Introduce yourself? Pronouns? Where do you currently reside? 

Hello, I’m Jake Muir (he/him). I make music and DJ. I’m from LA, spent several years in Seattle, and currently living in Berlin. 

What sound would you listen to… if it was the only thing you could listen to 24/7?

Ice melting 

Describe in detail your favorite place in the club?

I tend to situate myself in the middle so I get the proper stereo spread. If I forget my earplugs, in the back. If a friend is playing, I try to be closer to the front.

Best gig of your life so far?

Honcho Campout. It was really special all around.

What is the theme song of your mind on 100mg edible?

Wichita Forever



If you could transfer all your knowledge from what you do now into something completely different, what would it be and why?

If I wasn’t working in sound, I’d probably be into mixology. There’s a lot of parallels between making cocktails and music. Some people referred to Philip Jeck as an alchemist. 

Longest you've stayed up and why?

It might be when I played through Metal Gear Solid 3 in one go, 24 hrs, over a thanksgiving break back in high school. 

What is your most recent favorite DJ mix and why?

https://soundcloud.com/ziurinhell/now-now-refuge-worldwide-w-ziur-ran-cap-duoi

This guest mix from Vietnamese band Rắn Cạp Đuôi_, on my friend Ziur’s Refuge Worldwide program, might be my favorite mix of the year. It’s super wild and kinda plays with the idea of what a mix can be.


Any advice to upcoming DJs/producers? 

Develop your own voice, even if it’s super niche, and don’t be afraid to take risks. Think about your own background and identity and what you can bring to the table with that. 

What would you like to see in the future for the dance community?

More chillout rooms, genre/style hopping, and care for one another.

full interview: https://www.lowendtheorists.com/theory-therapy-mixes/51-jake-muir

Theory Therapy 51 is by producer and field recordist Jake Muir.

Jake is someone we’ve been eager to have on the series for a very long time. The Berlin-based artist has such a fantastic ability to create a specific sense of space and atmosphere in his music and mixes. This recording is no exception. It's an updated version of a set originally made for the Cool Room party in Melbourne, filled with yawning spaces of natural reverb and densely textured ambient. “The way the chillout room was described to me sounded very low key, with people drawing and what not, so I kept that vibe in mind when selecting tracks. The music spans from the late 70s through now.”

4th episode of my show at @refugeworldwide. Germany is one of a handful of countries whose artists have influenced my interest in sampling and found sound, so I decided to dedicate this set to German post-industrial music, sound art, concrète, etc.

Guest mix for @penttt's Lot Radio show 'Synopses'. All ECM late night zones.

Lot Radio 6/12/24 - Synopses ECM special

Jake Muir is a Berlin based sound artist, DJ and field recordist. He approaches his practice as a listener first, carefully curating, layering and processing sounds that help him deconstruct and contextualize his lived experiences and influences. Using investigative software methodologies, DJ techniques and engineering dexterity, Muir makes deeply personal sonic art that fluidly traverses genre membranes, encouraging reflection and sometimes prompting psychedelic states.

This mix is essentially a studio distillation of the two DJ sets I played during bathing hours at Washington Baths in Portland, Maine last year, for @poolemusicltd. Beyond the aquatic aesthetics tying back to saunas and my time spent living in California and Seattle, it is also inspired by an essay I discovered while trying to find cover art for Bathhouse Blues. “Spiritual dimensions of self-transformation in Sydney’s gay bathhouses”, by Jason Prior and Carole Cusack, explores how gay bathhouses were viewed as places of worship by the patrons and what transpired there as being “rituals”. Given this backdrop, there are various references in the mix, both literal and figurative, to said dimensions associated with rituals and spirituality.
