ambient flow

After Phaeleh's legendary <a href="http://bit.ly/1hKWqmy"> i-DJ mix</a> there was no way we could pass up an opportunity to have him back. This time he takes on the Slumber Session and packs in a tonne of unreleased exclusive material to deliver this beautiful, ethereal soundtrack to help you journey through your dreams. Take time, kick back, zone out and drift off. This one is special.

Read this personal message from the man himself:
"This Slumber Session mix gave me a great opportunity to make a playlist of something I would want to listen to when unwinding, or to just fall asleep to. I wanted it to be able to exist in the background, without focus, whilst at the same time having elements of detail and beauty scattered amongst the layers of sound unravelling as the mix progresses.

In some ways you can think of it as a soundtrack to a dream. There are moments of calm flowing smoothly into more abstract sections. Textures build to go from sparse emotive landscapes to darker, brooding moments of tension. I wanted it to be dynamic, taking in a variety of styles and influences, whilst giving the listener a coherent experience and painting some interesting images in their minds.

It also gave me the chance to put in a lot of unreleased tracks of mine. I make a wide variety of styles outside of my normal output, so it was great to have an outlet for some of that material. There are also a lot of field recordings I've made over the last few years throughout the mix, including some from my travels. The opening section of music features the sounds of walks in Sydney and San Francisco, which at the time was just some subconscious grabbing of sound recordings without any kind of artistic purpose - it just sounded cool at the time. It seemed fitting when I realised where the sounds were from, as the mix would have been the perfect playlist for a lot of my sleep deprived travels.

I ended up getting so involved putting together this mix that there's a lot of live tweaks of outboard reverb and delay units layered on certain tracks to try and get the sense of space I wanted to achieve and give the mix some breathing space. I find that ambient music can be incredibly beautiful and achieve the range of emotions other music can. I hope that you enjoy the musical selection and can immerse yourself in it, even with the emphasis away from the hooks and rhythms of traditional electronic dance music."

Slumber Session: Phaeleh

Bristol based Noods resident, Junior, trudges us through an hour and a half of what he describes as the fruits of "a years worth of procrastination" that he would have named "Delay and Deliberation" had it not clashed with the title formatting tradition we've established. Dive in.

Forecast 064: Junior

The inimitable DJ T. steps up to Get Physical Music label with monstrous new house single, 'Move Your Body.' 

DJ T. is a titan of the scene, co-founder of this label, journalist and encyclopedia of electronic music knowledge. From his club-ready singles to his more adventurous and immersive albums via side projects like his Mathami alias, he never stops evolving and helping to define the underground sound of now. He now follows up his last single 'Rapture' on this label back in November with another fresh cut. 

The superb 'Move Your Body' is a bubbling house cut with warm, soft-focus synth patterns rising up through the mix. The paddy drums swing low and roll to catchy effect while filtered vocals add some human soul. A new and pixelated lead takes over later on to really ensure the crowd goes to the next level. 

DJ T. has cooked up a summer anthem in the making with 'Move Your Body.'

PREMIERE: DJ T. - Move Your Body [GET PHYSICAL]

"A Small Intricate Box, Which Contains Old Blue Opium Marzipan"

Forecast 065: Der Opium Queen

The sound of dreamland this week comes from a collaborative effort between multi instrumentalist and producer William Yates aka Memotone and Glasgow via Brighton based Soroosh Khavari aka Soosh. The pair have are set to release their atmospheric yet perfectly musical, Memoosh LP on Monday 6th October via Project Mooncircle and now deliver your mid-week lullaby exclusively for i-D. Memtone delivers the first insomnia-battling 31 minutes, followed by a meditative ending courtesy of Soosh. Press play and drift away.

"I have collected a small selection of music which, in my mind, is a perfect tonic to insomnia. There are enough imaginative ideas in the first half of the mix to tire your brain out, walking across the many wonderful and stange landscapes of your inner environment, before slowing lowering you into the deeper, more solidly rooted, sleep enducing tones. However, I feel it would be a shame to actually fall asleep as there is just as much to pay attention too in the latter half of the mix. Maybe to try and stay awake is the real key to falling asleep in this instance." https://soundcloud.com/memotone

"I've put together some of my favourite nocturnal tracks that help me wind down.   Some are mediative, while others are just classics in voice, sound and manipulation! To me anyway!  I hope it will set you all off to sleep nicely, but sometimes its good to stay awake and hear it all!  So up and down and sideways we go.  I promise not to meander too far, solace and comfort will await you but open ears are the best ears! Enjoy!" https://soundcloud.com/soosh

Isolation Dreams

old track but one of my fav tracks. circa.... 2010 

Kyle

This week we delve into the dreamworld of Lost Twin. Making music that flickers between the deeper realms of electronic production with cinematic spectral pads and weighty hip hop-esq beats. Having just dropped his incredible album The Mist, the Spanish producer delves into the mix with a hypnotic blend of dream inducing beats. Drift off.

"To me, the following selection of music could be described as psychedelic, without making distinctions in genres or BPM’s. Some of these songs may be dream-inducing, some of them nightmare-inducing, but they all bring me a certain feeling of unreality, as if they were snapshots of altered landscapes or distorted memories. It can also be thought of as the soundtrack for an initiation to psychonautics. One way or another, it is music that I find deeply enjoyable no matter what altered state you're in."

Slumber Session: Lost Twin

Quilt Vision w/ Memotone - 02/04/2024

ESS is excited to bring to you our first set from the Creative Audio Archive's Artist Mixtape Series... The first mix comes from Lia Kohl!

From Lia ...

This playlist is organized around unlabelled tapes in the Sun Ra archive. In addition to many rehearsal, performance, and lecture recordings, there are a few tapes in the archive that aren't easily categorizable -- a collection of recordings of a voicemail machine, or a series of short synth improvisations, for example. I have a special love of uncategorizable things, so I gravitated towards these tapes particularly, including selections from the aforementioned two, as well as a tape that seems to be Ra tuning through the radio and occasionally singing along. The voicemail tape is actually recordings of voicemails left for Alton Abraham, Sun Ra's manager and good friend. I love the refrain of his most frequent caller -- "Ham pick up, pick up Ham" -- and the drama that unfolds with so little context. I'm drawn to the synth recordings because Ra seems to be truly experimenting: stopping and starting at places before finding a new pattern. I love to think of this larger-than-life man having a quiet moment in the studio by himself. On side A of the "radio poem" tape, you can hear Ra improvising words over the radio, but on side B (which I've included almost in its entirety), he only occasionally sings along. Instead of feeling like a piece, it just feels like we're listening to the radio together. The only edit I made in that recording is to cut short Hotel California -- even if Sun Ra wants to listen to that, I don't.


I also included some selections from the Malachi Ritscher collection: Mamadou Diabate Ensemble at Eli's Cheesecake World (this place still exists!), Rob Mazurek with an ensemble in 2005, and Milford Graves at the Empty Bottle. I love the aliveness of these recordings: that we can hear Graves running around the space with a whistle and some bells, people whooping as he passes; that the Diabate Ensemble's incredible playing is punctuated by children crying. Music is in space and time and real people are listening, then and now. 


In a similar vein: ESS recently uncovered a tape of Fela Kuti live at the Riviera, which I've included a few cuts of. It's really cool to hear Kuti live, but somehow equally wonderful to hear the unknown recordist offering a light to a friend. Which is to say that these recordings remind me that music is something that happens between people, and this playlist is about celebrating that.

One hour of current listening favourites from Manchester head Handbook In Motion. You can catch Josh occasionally broadcasting on Love Will Save The Day FM as well as on a mysterious recent self-released tape that seems to have already disappeared from All Night Flight (https://allnightflightrecords.com/products/handbook-in-motion-x). Global folk traditions, musique concrete and avant-synth pieces as well as dub all-timers and wave adjacent rock'n'roll formulae all in the mix here for us. Go get it.

Forecast 078: Handbook In Motion

This track is a bit of a sound experiment. It started with me letting off a dynamite banger at the top of a deep wooded valley at 4 in the morning. I took along my binaural microphones and got a great recording, so I decided to play with it, slow it down, make a nice ambience with it. After sorting some nice slices I got a few lines down on the clarinet that I liked. I listen over and decided some pulsing pump organ would lift the track  and then the addition of some (unconventional) trumpet and I was happy. Once I had the main instrumental/soundscape foundation down I was able to record some rhythm patterns and different percussive textures (bowed cymbals, different beaters on snares and hi hats) also adding a few production tweaks and a little piano and voice to pull it all together. I really enjoyed making it. I hope it's as enjoyable to listen to.
