Relax

Aaron J ( @arn_j ) is a Boston based DJ and label head, running the @sure_thing imprint. The talented DJ has become known through Sure Thing's exciting bill of events, mixes & releases, with an unwaveringly genuine commitment to music and the bright community that surrounds it in the US and abroad. 

As a DJ, Aaron has become known for his taste for deep & dark, yet somehow always whimsical and warm music, having pulled together beautiful musical narratives for a range of notable mix series - this mix is no exception. I'm so happy to have him as part of the series - and can't wait to meet someday in the (hopefully) not too distant future on a dance floor :-)

Animix Forty Six: Aaron J

Founder of https://soundcloud.com/sure_thing Sure Thing, Aaron J https://soundcloud.com/arn_j and  Midgar Label Boss https://soundcloud.com/severja recorded live at Midgar x Harmony Rec Openair in gART.n, Berlin on a beautiful Sunday afternoon of late July. Not much was decided in advance but the BPM. It followed an organic, coherent and surprisingly decent ;) back 2 back. Love you Aaaron! This brings back lovely Summer memories.

Psylocybina welcomes @svarogtechnomusic – a long-standing figure in the world of hypnotic techno –  with his mystically and profoundly sounding ‘The Last Hour’ EP.

These four cuts are the final chapter of “23 hours of drama” a big concept that started with his LP released on Edit Selects label in January 2021. 

“23 hours” is a metaphor for when dark clouds accumulate over your life. In fear and ignorance, you may throw your hands up in despair. It’s about the illusion of losing control over things beyond your control. Mystical creatures place chess pieces and pawns on the chessboard and checkmate you during the last hour of a game.

The last hour has arrived, when any drama can no longer exist. When everything around seems like a game of the mind and looks like all that remains is to surrender. And once you do, harmony comes.

The EP opens with Esoteric, which sets the tone for the whole EP with its strong kick, deep bass stabs, and choir-like pads. Things get intense with the Pilgrimage where we hear accented four-to-the-flour rhythm intertwined with atonal effects that build the tension, released for a moment when dreamy pads enter. Prophecy speeds things up with its dynamic low-end sequence and vocal chops. We come home with Independence, where the pads, rhythms, and baseline create a feeling of finding yourself again on the dancefloor. The last hour has come to an end.

INCIDENT CASE.1

Mariano Mellino is one of the hottest names of the moment in Buenos Aires nightlife. Influenced by artists like Hernan Cattaneo, John Digweed, Sasha and Nick Warren, his music has appeared on Darkroom Dubs, Crossfrontier Audio, Global Underground, Plattenbank and here he happily returns to Sudbeat with a three tracker that will not leave you indifferent!

Starting things off, the lovely ‘Mars from Eden’ introduces to this fine EP, with a blanket of warmth greeting us like a hug on the dancefloor, this smile inducing gem unfurls its beauty, as it subtly meanders along effortlessly.

Picking up the pace a little, we find ‘St. Luke Reborn’. Again away with dreamy chords, this winner delivers and energetic, yet restrained vibe. Punchy percussion, trippy fx and warm pads meet warbling muted synths to create an understated biggie.

Next up, label boss Graziano Raffa remixes ‘St. Luke Reborn’, taking us in to moodier edge territories, as the bassline teases and merges wonderfully with the gently softer sounds, creating a mesmeric state of sophistication. Calculated builds ease us gently upwards, as the energy levels pulse with anticipation , whilst keeping a deeper tight reign on affairs.

Rounding things off nicely, we find ‘Calypso Flare’. This bleepy melodic bouncy number means business, as it drives along, tinkling as it goes and playing with your mind.

Desire

Side Liner - Desire EP (preview)

Founder of Sure Thing, a label, event, and mix series dedicated to developing the audience for experimental and boundary-pushing electronic music throughout the US. As a performer, Aaron is inspired by the complex conversations that occur between music and emotion on the dance floor, and the way we experience these interactions together. Reflecting upon memories of these conversations, each set leaps between delicately layered moments that are at times expansile, blissful, and propulsive toward an energetic infinity.

~ About The Story ~

Whatever plows our dreams is ours to give:
The threshold rises and changes.
I give, I perceive;
Here are the gifts of day risen at last;
Blood of desire, the rising of belief
Beyond our fury and our silences.
- Muriel Rukeyser

"Ether, or æther, was the mysterious substance once thought to suffuse the universe and be the medium that propagated light (and radio waves once they were discovered). Before that, it was the material that suffused the realm of the Gods. So, to say that something is in the ether means that it is something being communicated from place to place; it has no precise location, just as a radio broadcast can be heard from many different places. "

* Lost In Ether 
Here you can find personal visions and expressions of alternative electronic music represented by artists invited to show their own ways to explore sounds which are embraced into one wave of sound - podcast recorded for "Lost in Ether".
