fractals - Sunfear - 14 Apr 2025

what we find episode fourteen featuring @_andriy_k___ - aka cusoon dj - Berlin based producer, live performer and dj. Andriy creates experimental club music and live listening performances, absorbing reflection of your reality with releases on labels like oscilla sound, related articles, and surf.

His latest release ‘Poetry of the Vanished Territories’ is an audiovisual exploration of central and southern Ukraine's landscapes, capturing memories of fading places that linger between what was and what remains. Using open source data and field recordings from locations, he blends fragments of reality, nature and memory.

For this feature, the mix drifts through the off-season of life, a time suspended between endings and awakenings. Melancholic, organic textures echo the hush of retreat, only to dissolve into the warm pulse of slow, luminous dub. To clean, to breathe.

"Thank you so much to Lexciya for inviting and trusting me as someone who is neither a musician or DJ, but merely a giant music nerd, to put together my first ever mix for what is very likely my single favourite series! I feel incredibly honoured and humbled to be here, and to be honest can still hardly believe it!

"I’d never done anything like this before and it was a learning process to say the least, and while I know I’ve got a long way to go and a lot more to learn, I’m happy to say I’m quite pleased with what I was able to figure out as I went, and hope others will enjoy listening to this as much as I do. To be honest I never saw myself doing this, but now I feel like this has opened me up to a whole new world of creative expression that I haven’t tapped in to in many years, and I can’t wait to keep exploring this a bit more. Thanks again for the opportunity and to anyone that gives this a listen. "

q. pls introduce yourself…
Hello, we are forest.exe (Sven and Silvan). We run a label that focuses on ambient, avant-garde and experimental music. It is called Jurassic Ambient Records. The name is inspired by the Jura forests in Switzerland, where we live and grew up. We create our own mixes and also release guest mixes as well as music from friends and anyone interested. We started about four years ago. Over time, we gradually moved away from technoid sounds and club culture, and began experimenting and mixing together within the genres of ambient, experimental and drone, where we felt more at home. For us, it is essential to connect music with the wellbeing in nature, which is also the origin of everything.

q. is there a story behind the mix?
This time we created the mix with Ableton in Sven’s home studio, nestled near the Jurassic forest — not, as we usually do, in a rehearsal room with a Pioneer setup. It was a warm and luminous day at the very beginning of summer. Surrounded by nature, we let the atmosphere guide us, working spontaneously and intuitively. Instead of CDJs, we wanted to explore a new approach, giving ourselves more time and space to shape the flow. This allowed us to engage more deeply with each track and to sculpt the transitions with greater precision.
The result is a mix that feels reduced and calming, almost dreamlike, yet still carries a quiet strength. It mirrors the uncertainties and concerns we feel about the world, and the question of how we might navigate through them. We dedicated an entire day to the process, with pauses, a few beers, and long conversations about the value of music and the character we wanted this mix to embody.

q. what’s the best way to enjoy your mix?
Step into the forest, put on your headphones, leave the world behind and sink into natural, calming sounds. You might wander along the paths and lose yourself in the embrace of nature, or sit quietly on a tree stump, listening to the mix while observing the subtle life unfolding around you. This is, in essence, what our name forest.exe is meant to evoke.

q. describe a favourite object in your living room...
Silvan: My favourite object in my living room is a handmade ceramic piece with an organic, natural design. I discovered it in Krakow last year during my visit to the Unsound Festival.
Sven: Hehe… epic indeed. My favorite object in my living room is a triptych of three Japanese woodblock prints. In the first, several farmers brandishing katanas burst forth with fierce cries. In the second, a lone farmer leaps dramatically over a waterfall, sword in hand. And in the third, a bear flees from the oncoming attackers. The imagery is raw and powerful, yet strangely inspiring. I don’t know the artist or when the pieces were created — but stumbling upon them in an antique shop felt like a stroke of fortune, as if they had been waiting there for me.

q. are you working on any projects right now (music or not music)?
We are both working on new music, though it often takes a lot of time — which can be challenging, since we both work more or less full-time as social workers, and Sven also has children. Still, we meet regularly to create ambient mixes, discuss musical developments, and continue shaping our vision for the label. Through it, we keep releasing new mixes as well as music (EPs) from ourselves and from other artists.
What we love is that this project has been with us for quite some time, and we can move at our own pace — deciding how much energy to put in, or when to slow things down. That way, it never becomes stressful, because we are not chasing success, but rather sharing our musical principles and offering others a fresh listening experience. We are also searching for a spot in the forest where we can record outdoor mixes, letting nature inspire our music even more directly.

@carmenvillain is an artist based in Norway who has been releasing on @smalltownsupersound since 2013. Her most recent album ‘Both Lines Will Be Blue’ saw her expand her unique brand of contemporary psychedeliaca even further, luxuriating in the sensuous soundscapes that she creates while also experimenting with music concrete and avant-garde techniques. A remix EP will be released this Friday 28th February that features some of Villain’s favourite dance producers. Her mix for Bleep channels her affection for club music, with just over an hour of trippy, rhythmically astute sounds from a range of contemporary musicians.
