What’s this trippy one? Such a brilliant mix!! 

anyone have an ID on this one? 😵‍💫

We're happy to welcome another British talent with us this week. @syberkid and her music have been a part of Syntop's journey for a long time now and enchant us in this part of our podcast series with a typical dreamy sound, wide drumbeats, and extraordinary rhythms.

For our 40th milestone in the mix series, we couldn't be more delighted to host the amazing Faery from Bristol, UK. Freya's approach integrates textured ambience and deep, proggy trance and techno, a sound that is undoubtedly deeply loved here in Naarm. We've been big fans of her mixes for @dreamsoftwarecorp, @rapturenetwork and her monthly show for @1020radio. Freya's mix for melt is as enjoyable, treating us to a gorgeous journey of chugging, psychedelic sounds.

melt mix vol. 40 - Faery

Wednesday took over the first Third Place show of the year. She turned in 2 hours of her signature hypnotic, late-night trance cuts.

Third Place w/ Wednesday - January 2022

This was a very special show for me - it felt like a full circle moment going b2b with the lovely @hewizee on Netil Radio last month - we started off as online, tune-sharing penpals so it was the sweetest thing to be able to share music with each other in real life <3

For this show we stuck mostly to our shared passion - trance - with a few sidesteps into more playful, percussive tracks and deep, hypnotic techno. Enjoy!

This hybrid mix formed part of a recent research project exploring plant language and speculative sonic fictions :)

About the mix:

Plants have inhabited Earth for more than four-hundred-and-fifty million years, while humans have called this planet home for little more than seven million. Plants, with their collectively sustaining outlook, drawn from a wealth of ancestral knowledge - stored in winding, subterranean mycorrhizal networks - travel through time, but not in the linear sense: they are at once past, present and (thanks to their efficient, predictive capabilities) future. They are a reminder of, and a steady companion to, Earth’s long lifecycle. While their methods of communication may not be as visibly and sonically obvious as those of our own and our animal companions, plants have a fascinatingly plural language system - a complex, decentralised, multi-player network that Bio-17 attempts to sonify.

Bio-17, a name owing its form to Samuel Delany’s 1966 sci-fi novel, Babel-17 - a novel concerning interplanetary translation - is a collaborative, interspecies linguistic study. Through a spectrum of original and gathered, human and plant-made sounds - including arboreal field recordings, vocal samples, and processed biorhythmic data, all interwoven with tracks by other artists - I have explored the ways in which vegetal language systems might be decoded into music - using the medium's spatio-sensory capacities, and widely interpretable nature, to reflect a multiplicity of voices communicating within an interconnected whole.

Ybyzär #22 - Elvira - 26/11/2022

Back on Operator for our last show of the year with local duo Dancing Ambiance!

Dancing Ambiance consists of Da-Da and Egale Egel and is based in Utrecht and Berlin. Dancing Ambiance moves between the realms of music history and cutting edge club sounds, eternally looking for cuts from any and all places to scape them into a musical quagmire. This swamp of sorts includes psychedelic elements and unfamiliar sounds imposed upon unusual rhythmic timbres and timing.

Traverse x Operator Radio - Dancing Ambiance - 03.12.2022

Growing up in one of the Netherlands' quieter nooks, @tammohesselink’s unwavering passion for music saw him spend countless hours of his youth in his attic, digging, researching and building up a profoundly deep knowledge and love of electronic music. Eventually, this singular passion lead Tammo out of his attic and into his local record store “Deeptrax”, where the guys behind the counter helped to refine his taste further, indoctrinating him to the sounds of Chicago, Detroit, Berlin and The Hague. Over time, Tammo very naturally found himself working at the store, where his taste continued to both deepen and expand, with a growing appreciation for a diverse range of sounds including UK-centred post-dubstep, leading to the distinctive, genre-bending approach he is known for today.

As a producer, Tammo has developed an outstanding body of work under a range of alias’ since the mid-2010’s, first releasing via his own imprint “The Invariants” before seeing his music published on famed Dutch platforms @delsinrecords and @nousklaeraudio in more recent years. Although there may be variations in sound and approach between his projects, one constant is a solid sense for warm, resonant groove which filters through the many aspects of his music - from light-hearted arpeggiated synths, to organic, intricately programmed percussion. 
Tammo carries this same quality into his DJ sets, which has enabled him to take the stage at events such as Breakfast Club and Dekmantel Selectors, and also to become a resident at the now sadly closed De School.

This rhythmically diverse mix for Patterns of Perception channels Tammo’s inimitable sound and musical insight, building from a deep, measured beginning, before gathering energy and momentum further into the mix. The result is a fiercely arresting 83 minutes of music that takes the listener on a winding narrative journey through varied and utterly compelling club music.
