Opening of room 1 on sunday evening
Some weeks ago I performed in front of my friends and people I looked up to, bathed in the emotions and psychedelism typical of the sunday evening at Freerotation.
Thank you so much Steevio and Suzybee for trusting me to bring some weirdness in the magical room 1, and all my friends for being so supportive !

A much loved figure within the American underground scene, California's Baby Leo has been consciously connecting body and mind from coast to coast, finding space for the unpredictable and the awe inspiring, hypnotising dancefloors with wildly eclectic DJ sets filled with energising twists and turns.

An innovator and sonic boundary pusher at his core, the Dripping festival Leo runs alongside Relaxer is a deep underground oasis in the woods of Sparta, New Jersey, and returns for it's third mind excursion this June, with Leo and DJ Plead combining this year for a hotly anticipated back to back.

Q. The mix is truly a wild ride! What sounds or feelings did you draw upon when gathering inspiration for this, and what listening environments could you imagine it being enjoyed in?

A. This is the deepcast right? For this one, we’re going deeper than what I might usually do in a club. Some of these tracks came to me while laying blindfolded on the floor during guided high-dose mushroom journeys. Because this is a space of complete emotional surrender, many of these tracks became permanently embedded in my heart. Awe, fear, reverence, gratitude are all part of the recipe. The ideal listening environment is similar to how you might want to watch a movie - cozy, undistracted, and fully immersed in sound. Perhaps by yourself and hopefully something to return to and discover something new.

Q. Are there any songs in the mix that are especially close to your heart, and what is it about these tracks that resonate with you so much?

A. I think Untitled (How Does it Feel) by D’Angelo is my favorite song of all time. It feels amazing every time. The way energy builds and boils over is unmatched. I played it backwards.

Q. Your festival Dripping returns to the majestic woods of Sparta, NJ for its third year running in June, and I see you’ve got a special extended b2b set with DJ Plead planned which should be quite the mind-bend! How have you been preparing for that one, and what things might you guys be doing differently this year that you’re excited about? 

A. Preparation hasn’t really begun in any serious way, but we are both anticipating and very excited to play together. Especially at Dripping, I’m typically trying to push the energy forward for a fully explosive impact. I will usually do a lot of preparation for a set like this and plan certain sequences. In contrast, I’ve seen Plead play sets with incredible restraint, patiently working a crowd into complete hypnosis. I guess the thing about a back to back set is that it will take on a life of its own and just go where it needs to go. There will be less planning for this and more intuition, but mind-bending and heart-opening is certainly the goal and we haven’t discussed anything other than that.

Bristol-based @k_means operates at the fringes of electronic music. It's not tempo and genre that unites their sound, but more an exploration of mood and texture underpinned by bass-heavy low ends and hypnotic rhythms. The Noods, Rinse FM and Kiosk Radio regular is also resident at Bristol's Psychotherapy Sessions and will debut at Dekmantel Festival where you should fully expect to be taken into plenty of unknown musical territory.

It is the same with their mix for us this week - a wild trip into futuristic drum patterns and interplanetary sounds that melt the mind and contort the body. There is a constant push and pull between the organic and the synthetic with tribal percussion and warped vocals brushing up with bleeping synth modulations and experimental minimalism. It's a magnetic selection that's as much an imaginary movie soundtrack as it is a dance floor escape.

Accidental Meetings resident and Bristol-based i-sha plays on Kiosk with styles grounded in the dubwise principles of negative space, physical pressure and adventurous sonics. Playing music from labels such as AM, Somewhere Press, ANA & A Colourful Storm.

ASTRID SONNE w/ Conrad Pack 250625

It is not easy to find Saphira, and it is even harder to leave. If it so chooses, the city will appear first as a quivering mirage on the horizon, second as a blinding stone mirror, and third as a sprawling maze whose sounds and sensations embrace the traveler in a slow and languid frenzy. Quite famously, it is home to countless locked eyes and spellbound hearts. It is a place whose deep currents of longing, like the sound of its ocean shore, seem to rumble and hiss under the surface of every word and gesture, in every bead of sweat that blooms from the glimmering skin of its people.

Saphira is at all times caught between a low-lying sun to the west and a glowing moon to the east. They hang above the skyline with an eerie stillness, watching the city’s tireless creatures writhe together in tenderness and sin, casting upon them a pale, silvery gold light that hangs heavy in the humid air. It is in the tension of this peculiar light and its slender, tangled shadows that Saphira’s longing grows dense and time thickens within its walls. Traveler and resident alike are suspended in an endless eros, caught tightly between pain and pleasure, between the sting of saltwater in one’s eyes and the sticky sweetness of ripe fruit on one’s lips. 

Perhaps this is why Saphira’s radios and televisions stutter with phrases and images so ghostly yet so intimately familiar, why its dusty buildings seem always to crumble so gloriously yet never collapse, why around every corner there is a street that so closely resembles one of a distant and loving memory, and why the curling flakes of paint on its walls and facades will reach out against the heat without fading or falling. It is a city inside of want and outside of time.

FKOF Premiere!

Here's our premiere of @caski's forthcoming 🔥 'Traitor' 🔥, dropping this March with the @trappedaudiouk gang (backed with a remix from @oh91 and a collab with @nearsofar). Pre-order via the buy link...

1. Caski - Traitor
2. Caski - Traitor (OH91 remix)
3. Caski ft. Near - Got Me

"Bristol–based producer Caski comes through with his latest offering, the 'Traitor' EP. The second release from Manchester–based Trapped Audio, the 12″ features two new cuts showcasing the producer's current vibe. Also featured is fellow Bristolian OH91's take on the title track; as well as a smooth twostep collab on the flip with up and coming producer Near. 

"Since emerging in 2012 on dubstep pioneer El-B's legendary Ghost Recordings, Caski, has garnered a reputation for creating compelling and increasingly experimental bass music of the highest order; gaining support from the likes of Mumdance, Akkord and Pinch. His sounds vibrate in a realm not too far away from the likes of Lamont and Biome. Off the back of releases on Electro Magnetic Fields, Keysound and Tectonic, this release sees him venturing further away from the 140 bpm template and further into his own world of idiosyncratic rhythms and tones. Eery and dark, without being bleak or negative, the tracks roll through meticulous and complex rhythms; moving towards the abrasive - yet never taking a step away from the danceable. This EP is another expertly crafted piece of art from Caski that adds to the ever-growing styles of his back catalogue. Due for release early March, this one's sure to move fast off the shelves..."
