Test subject 1.20 @djgiulia blurs the lines between the nightmarish and ethereal, holding quicksilver-like mobility between shadow and light without ever crystallising in either state. This dynamic odyssey constantly evolves and reinvents itself, materialising beauty and love into a harsh and anguished landscape; the ripples of this healing can be felt deep within.

"The process of putting together this mix was completely immersive, with deep dedication to what I wanted to express. I felt an immediate connection to this image and knew exactly how I wanted to approach the mix. The image is very dystopian, complex and sort of scary but with so much beauty in it. It's a direct reflection of my current internal landscape: I'm presently working through some pretty intense personal trauma and I channeled a lot of that energy into this. To me, the mix is dark, harsh and hard to sit with, but is peppered with moments of beauty and peace throughout, and you reach the end of it with a real sense of hope. When I was recording it I actually cried as the last track played - there was so much energy that was put into this mix and it felt like a huge release. I hope that can be felt as people listen. As a full-time sculpture student, I am constantly thinking about multiple art forms and know that this informs how I piece mixes together. I often treat these compositions as forms of sound art, seeing myself as a sound curator rather than a dj. I'm constantly thinking about collaboration and generative processes, so it was really great to be asked to create this in response to an image created specifically for me to respond to. It was deeply rewarding hard work and a real pleasure to put this mix together." Giulia on their connection and approach to translating the stimulus.

Test Subject 1.24 Marley Swain @marleyys gently guides us through sonification of a dense subaquatic ecosystem, separating from the constraints of linearity to explore and circle back to every corner of the landscape. Feel yourself squeeze through bubbling, dimly lit caverns, brush past forests of kelp and coral, and get caught up in turbulent ocean currents as you explore Marley's Drexciyan world....

"The image for this mix hit me almost instantly. At first It was giving deep sea vibes and the more I looked at it I started visualising a forest in the mix too. So my imagination landed somewhere inside of some kind of aquatic forest deep below. Maybe somewhere Drexiyans go for a hike. Which I guess is why I got into some sub aquatic / deep bass kinda tip!"

Syntop Audio 48 – mu tate

Test subject 1.25 @allurein of the beloved @neurocrankk collective, unearths a primordial dance between the hunter and it’s prey as they weave through an aberrant, glitching biosphere. A true narrative of survival where tension rises and falls as the hunt plays out through alien flora.

“I made the visual prompt my lock screen first and foremost, so that I’d be met with it every day. Any time I was listening to music it was right there; either to remind me to be listening for certain sounds I associated with the visual, or so that the visual would be so deeply engrained in my mind that I was always listening to music with a lens directly associated with the visual. 

I developed this sort of sci-fi story, of predator and prey that I felt came as a consequence of this relationship between the lushness of the visual; and the striking contrast of the sharp, grey, almost extra-terrestrial intrusions. Notwithstanding the embarrassment factor, it helped me create a narrative that I felt the interplay of songs could tell. 

I tried to imagine the strange sounds and animals that might arise, the ups and downs of my participation: haste, fear, exhilaration, and brief moments of tranquillity. As I said, it’s pretty embarrassing, but honestly it brought the visual to life and meant when looking for music, these were all the ways I wanted it to make me feel.

For me, the mix conveyed a story of survival in this glitched-out rainforest – a strange subsection prompting the discernment of what is artificial in an environment that was seemingly so close to a rainforest here on earth.”

I-SHA + LEWI BOOME - CHEWING THE SCENERY EP LAUNCH

Test subject 1.26 K.L. Mai (@b_pd) braids shades of twilight; threading sensitivity into the murky fabric of a darkened and deranged landscape - a warping trip from start to finish.

"I find this image balances darkness and sensitivity in a really harmonious way, I think I'm always searching for this in the music I'm drawn to. The layered textures weave in softness throughout an otherwise chaotic environment. Familiar natural elements that don’t adhere to their expectations, almost as if you're completely submerged whilst floating over the surface. I imagined reaching a body of water in outer space, like I was wading through to try and find signs of new life."

NormCore Attitude Special w/ OKO DJ

Test subject 1.27 @index-exe connects the listener into a hallucinatory device, pulsating out a collection of distorted memories and visions that become ever more vivid as you plunge deeper. Bursts of mutating melodies are intertwined with a whirling hum, and glitches that transport you between the tangled visions.
Feel time dissipate and distort as you explore Index's memory vortex...

"I struggle to put my constantly racing, messy thoughts into adequate words. I think this is in part why I’m drawn to overstimulating, unpredictable or “broken” music. 

When I played this mix live it was the first proper opportunity I was given to do a mix where I was never worried about whether people were dancing, and instead I could focus on sharing music that moved me or fascinated me in some way. 

Much like the artwork, I wanted to play around with shattered crystalline, processed textures, and allow the mix to morph and expand sonically at whim to mirror its visual counterpart. Swerving from tightly programmed algorithmic sequences to euphoric, nostalgic samples, this mix has a lot of reverb, re-pitching and emotional, glitchy stutters that I love so much!  

I hope when absorbing this piece that the listener lets the hyper-digital swells wash over them, like bathing in an endless virtual lake under formidable 3D-rendered mountains."

Test subject 1.28 @nelly_dj wades through the shadow and gloom of the undercroft, pushing against thick wreathing darkness like a beacon keeping shades at bay and lighting the way for those to follow.

“​​The artwork evoked a certain eerie atmosphere and I instantly knew what kind of mix I wanted to create. The image contained certain details like patterns and colours that reminded me of some tracks I had in my collection. With these tracks from my archive combined with fresh new productions from my favourite producers, I created a new trip. There are dark and heavy tones in it but with bright points. Think of it as a long walk through a gloomy cave which ends in a beautiful serene forest valley (and yes, of course, filled with fairies 🙂 🧚🏼‍♂️🧚🏼)”

Perko aka Fergus Jones landed on our radar (and many others) with his debut record NV Auto, released on Numbers last year. We’re honored to have him join the Motion Cast for volume 39, where he explores rhythms and textures that feel adjacent to his own music; club minded with an attention to subtlety that makes for an engaging listen on and off the dance floor.
