People who dedicate themselves fully to creating transcendent experiences for their audiences are a rarity, and Van Anh is no exception. Our friends acquainted with the Netherlands' thriving ambient & techno scene will undoubtedly be familiar with Van Anh and her ISOTOOP collective, who together have built events ranging from 12-hour overnight ambient excursions to 'Under the Desert Stars,' a one-off festival in the Moroccan desert. For those of us dreaming of her events from afar, the expert curator shares this dive through her record collection, and in it I hear that boundless creative spirit, the simmering anticipation, the drive to create memories that connect us for a lifetime.

Living structures, percussive biosystems. For this episode I like to welcome YPY @koshiro-hino

Heading over from the Osaka underground club scene multi-instrumentalist and composer Koshiro Hino better known as YPY takes us into a world of heavy electronics, jazz influences and ritmo percussives. Next to his YPY long-running solo output. Hino is also a musician in a minimalist instrumental band named Goat. With his new record label NAKID he tries to earmark unheard organics and unpredictable ways of sound.

“Just as some animals begin to prepare for hibernation, cities and people are preparing for winter. It's the season when I miss my bed in the morning, but getting out of your comfort zone is the beginning of finding a new self,” Toner @Yutaroy reflects on Minor Snow while presenting the 6th mix for Orbitinging series.

He mentioned that he was conscious of using tracks with a cold feeling, as well as those that deeply affect the spirit, recreating a groove different from dance music—chilly yet serious, but still heartwarming. Toner added, “Please listen to it at home while you chill out, meditate, and when you are feeling peace and comfort.”

/
Toner first encountered the alternative underground music scene while living in Taiwan. After returning to Japan, he continued to expand the boundaries of dance music. He is a lover of hidden gems and uncategorizable experimental music. Since 2022, he has started the deep listening-focused chill-out community “LIMINAL DREAMS” with Toss and Kaana, and is responsible for directing events in Tokyo.

He has performed at well-known outdoor festivals such as “rural” and “Transcendence” in Japan, “Organik Festival” in Taiwan, and “Wonderfruit” in Thailand.

/
“‘67-Oph’ by Strange Antiquark,” which Toner specially selected to share with us, captures the feeling he tried to infuse throughout the entire recording—“unique and has contemporary structure, not too serious, but sounds still fun,” he said.

Toner is always happy to share his music library whenever the opportunity arises, whether at outdoor festivals, clubs or radio shows. He will be presenting an ambient set consisting entirely of Japanese ambient artists at an upcoming festival in December, with more information to be updated on his page. “I am a firm believer that DJs are artists. As a selector, it will be a very challenging and exciting experience,” he added.

「如同某些動物準備冬眠，城市和人們也在為冬天做準備。這個季節讓我早晨特別想念床，但走出舒適圈也是尋找新自我的開始。」Toner為小雪下了註解，也為Orbitinging系列帶來第6發混音作品。

他提到，有特別挑選符合這個季節的曲目，並加入了一些深層的靈性聲響，重新創造了一種別於舞曲的律動——帶有寒意卻暖心而不嚴肅。他並建議可在家中放鬆、冥想，或感受到平靜的時候聆聽。

/
來自日本的Toner，在台灣生活時首次接觸到地下音樂場景，並於回到日本後持續探索舞曲文化。他熱愛那些隱藏的瑰寶、以及無法被歸類的實驗音樂。從2022年開始，他與Toss和Kaana共同創立了專注在深度聆聽的chill-out社群「LIMINAL DREAMS」，也在東京負責策畫活動。

他並曾在知名的戶外音樂祭如：日本的「rural」、「Transcendence」、台灣的「Organik Festival」和泰國的「Wonderfruit」演出。

/
Toner特別挑選了由Strange Antiquark所創作的「67-Oph」與我們分享，說這首曲子呈現了他試圖融入整個混音中的感覺——「獨特、具當代結構、不會太嚴肅，且聽起來充滿趣味」，他說。

他總是期待任何能分享自己的音樂收藏的機會，不論是在音樂祭、club或radio show。談到12月受邀的音樂祭，Toner正為其準備一個完全由日本藝術家的作品所組成的ambient set，「我堅信DJ也是藝術家，作為一名selector，這將會是一個非常具挑戰性且令人興奮的體驗。」更多資訊也將公布在他的個人頁面。

Minor Snow 小雪 (XiaoXue)

As the weather grows colder, rain in some regions turns to snow, and the climate becomes more unpredictable. It is important to protect yourself from the cold and nourish your kidneys, while also keeping the lungs warm and intestines hydrated. Moderate exposure to sunlight can help stimulate the body's yang energy and warm the meridians.

氣候漸冷，部分地區的雨水形成雪花，天氣多變，宜防寒養腎、溫肺潤腸。適當地曬陽光能助人體陽氣升發，有溫經脈的作用。

Orbitinging is an inging ambient mix series, blending the flow of music with the rhythm of seasonal changes. Released in sync with the 24 solar terms, it captures the unique atmosphere of each moment.

The 24 solar terms originated from ancient astronomers dividing the solar year into 24 equal parts, marking the Earth's journey around the Sun. Orbitinging resonates with nature’s breath, deepening our connection to Earth's rhythms.

Julianna invita a Ahslyan & LadyHunter - Residencias Mariposa

You smell that? That’s the smell of burnt rubber, cold rain, and broken promises. Welcome to the Mean Streets kid. 

You ever hear jungle breaks echoing through an empty parking garage at 3 a.m.? That’s what this is for. Mean Streets is built for late-night runs and lost causes. It's a drum and bass tribute to the golden age of the PlayStation, back when everything felt faster, dirtier, realer. Back when we were still counting polygons kid. 

Think Wipeout 2097, Ridge Racer, Need for Speed. This is the sound of busted-up jungle drum and bass straight from a memory card left in the rain.

Yeah, there's liquid DnB in here, even some future garage, the kind that creeps in when the streets are empty and the rain won’t stop and you can't get those damned memories outta your head. But don’t get it twisted kid, the heart of this record is that early-2000s jungle mayhem. The stuff that came out of blown speakers and off bootleg discs. That sound that made you drive too fast and care too little.

So here’s your induction, rookie. The Mean Streets don’t care who you are. But if you’re gonna race out here, you better have the right soundtrack. And now, you do.

This one's for fan's of low-poly dreams, 160 BPM mistakes, and the kind of nights you don't come back grom the same. If you like early jungle, Source Direct, LTJ Bukem and PS1-era Drum & Bass you're gonna like this.
