this mix is the second of eight that have been used in a clinical setting by SABI Mind for over three years now. it has also been used by close friends and myself, many times over too ..over and over, as it was carefully designed for repeat use. to entrain to. to reach for as a reliable tool. for the purposes of meditation, clearing, unwinding, calming, relaxing, deepening, inner explorations & journeys, grounding, centering, focusing, resting, drifting, quieting, sleeping, transforming, transporting, healing and other related purposes.

it stands on it's own as a contemporary ambient mix and also fully functions in the sound wellness realms. it keeps the promise of holding space for the listener the entire time, without any blips or trips or artful overly expressive side-quests, just slowly and reliably modulating and evolving and unfolding.

it's called 'moving SHADOW' it digs a bit deeper into engaging with, and ultimately separating and clearing, shadow elements. it's not super heavy or intense in this way, it's somewhat subtle and the mix also still retains it's primary universal purpose of use - it's just one notch or two towards this specific goal (compared to the first mix).  many thanks and acknowledgements to the absolutely perfectly executed music made by all the artist's in the mix - a decent handful of them being local as well.

immensely happy to share this mix now, more broadly, with everyone.
please enjoy, be well, and be good ❤️

it's called classic abstractions because, it being the first mix in the series, we start at the beginning and honour the foundations and feelings of classic ambient music ..as we also abstract from them (staying present in the now, not just in the past). many thanks and acknowledgements to the absolutely perfectly executed music made by all the artist's in the mix - a decent handful of them being local as well.

immensely happy to share this mix now, more broadly, with everyone.

out to all the artists included. ( p.s. look out for the official remix soon from me for the second last track from SPRLUA ;) )

the FX on the mixer were broken, so some delay throw between tracks aren’t the tightest. finessed some of those, lightly, after the fact. otherwise - the recording is pretty much as it happened that night.

100% of my pay for this night was passed to the friendship centre (hastings st, east).

LOVE!

Michelle Rouge DJ Set @ Lost in Lust lll

looove doing this kind of set, on special occasions, when the mood is right .. explicit and spiced up lyrics thru out. pure love and mood too.

definitely guided by the room for this one. it had be more straight up and dancey, then it had to dip down, then dip back up, and also get a bit hypnotic eyes down at one point, and back again. ..save for the climax at the end. beautiful energy. star energy. beautiful.

Bass Coast 2022 ~ Morning Set

'Sunny Sunday Afternoon Beach Set' Shambhala 2022 

a good amount of these tunes were collected between 2020 - 2022, and never got to see the full light of an outdoor afternoon festival vibe from me until this set. just felt to preserve the moment and the mini-era, even tho posting it a year plus later still. a lot of these tracks will now be retired for me, but some of them i also view as modern day sound system “hits” to play again and again (when the time is right ..like when you’re dabbling your toes in the water and chilling on the beach in the daylight between night-rave-modes!)

love to the @livingroomstage, the beach, the sun and those mountains and all the artists in this mix.

'Sunny Sunday Afternoon Beach Set' Shambhala 2022

Seven suites of deep and sprawling sonic meditations built around ‘call and response’ improv sessions between Randy Raine-Reusch and Michael Red.

Initially realized over the course of a few days in Randy’s instrument museum in Vancouver BC [December, 2014] 'ERAS' is made up of processed, and sometimes multi tracked, improvisations between Randy and Michael. Through these sessions Randy would choose instruments he sensed possibilities within, and Michael then revealed and sculpted these possibilities. Both resonating, sensing sonic structures, environmental nuances, and further worlds in each other’s art, all within the moment. Being present for each other, they acted on instinct, trusting a first thought, trusting each other; committing, responding to that commitment, then mutating and letting go. Always moving forward, synthesizing and letting the living moment lead the way. 

1. Between Is Six
2. Five Names Of Peace 
3. Shifting Silence
4. Inner World
5. Unquiet Night
6. Winter Water

@sonidoisla

BC: https://isla.bandcamp.com/album/eras

Seven suites of deep and sprawling sonic meditations built around ‘call and response’ improv sessions between Randy Raine-Reusch and Michael Red.

Slow and tempered recordings of Asian flutes, African harps, temple gongs and a myriad of obscure instruments from Randy Raine-Reusch's deep collection mutate and ebb into swirling gossamers of tone. Sonic incantations stretched and magnified further by Red's Sends. An otherworldly play between light and shadow worlds; at times idyllic and light-filled, at times dark and eerie– all engrossing. Dream-reality reconciliations weave between the spectral world of Michael Red's sound processes and the direct physicality of Raine-Reusch's playing. The tension across the pieces builds between the live playing and processing techniques, dutifully revealing a growing familiarity with collective transcendence through sound (bigger than the sum of its parts). Real-time interactive dream music.

Initially realized over the course of a few days in Randy’s instrument museum in Vancouver BC [December, 2014] 'ERAS' is made up of processed, and sometimes multi tracked, improvisations between Randy and Michael. Through these sessions Randy would choose instruments he sensed possibilities within, and Michael then revealed and sculpted these possibilities. Both resonating, sensing sonic structures, environmental nuances, and further worlds in each other’s art, all within the moment. Being present for each other, they acted on instinct, trusting a first thought, trusting each other; committing, responding to that commitment, then mutating and letting go. Always moving forward, synthesizing and letting the living moment lead the way.

The recordings were left to distill and mature for many years before the composers felt it was ready. With minimal judicious edits and a very light dusting of FXs, both careful to preserve the direct and intuitive process that permeates the recording, ERAS now emerges.

opening the night for @ivylab 's infinite falling ground part ii tour when it touched down in vancouver. nods to @oakkmusic and gov, lakehills, oliver.

i was asked to play a chill opening set and this is what i came thru with. listening back to this mix actually brings me back a bit to the beginnings of how & why i got into djing in the first place. it feels like a more classic style where you can really hear the layering and what's going on. a bit more straight up and simple.

some brand new tunes mixed with some familiar vibes from over the past decade and a bit. cycling thru the feels. hope you enjoy!

this is the set just before sully. michael red & @donna-dada . 3 decks + monotron + a mic. fire mode.

ISLA39 - LA FE - RURU/ CREER

yo

i figured since i've taken forever to release other bass coast sets before -> i'm releasing this one *right away*. jungle in the center, with a healthy amount of sidequests. thanks to each and everyone who showed up. i see you all.

a few tech slips happened like my dub siren (monotron) not working and the third cdj not working right as i started (tech folks, who were excellent, swapped it out immediately tho), ..and that made me not want to touch the mic like i would have and switched what kind of selections i made a bit too. i am *GOOD* with what i did tho and i feel a true 90's jungle spirit in some moments of the recording (which is one of the things that i was aiming at - so mission accomplished).

big up all the artists who's music was played. and thanks to meggy and ray who encouraged me to go jungle a few days before.

Michael Red & Goopsteppa - All These Years

twas a laid back night at rime (r.i.p.) on commercial drive in east van in august. i was getting free with the delay FX on this cheap beringher DJ mixer, adding extra sound effects on some axis8 cdj's (if i remember right), and playing some of my favourite dub and reggae records at the time. at least a few 45's in there, and, yeah, a good amount of original pressings (for those that care).

s'mix is an oldy but goody.

Synkro & Michael Red - Smoke Mountain

Souns - Untouched (taken from the forthcoming album Aquamarine). More Info: subtempo.com/aquamarine

Untouched is the first single from Aquamarine, the upcoming debut album by @Souns-3 , an ambient project by the well recognized Vancouver-based producer and dj Michael Red | @michaelred. With Souns, Red explores themes that are reflective of the natural world, the unseen world, outer space, and transcendence. Performances are largely intuitive and improvised, sometimes guided. The audio is an immersive world of deep sonic output, lucid introspection, and seemingly endless layers of sound. Typically there are no "drums" in Souns material, though there might be a detectable pulse. As heard on the first album track “Untouched," Aquamarine leaves an unmistakable mark on the listener, reverberating in the mind long after listening. The new album is out December 8th on Subtempo Records.

Aquamarine

Untouched

Souns - Aquamarine - 6 - Untouched

The EP opens with a remaster of the original tune. Massive frequencies interspaced with moments of silence that delineate the vastness of the sounds used, evoking the distance between celestial bodies in outer space. In Souns’ own words: 'Sun Inside The Sun' imagines a world within the sun that has its own sun and full landscape and environment, and how that inner-world might not necessarily be hot or share the same characteristics as the sun’s surface, similar to how the eye of a tornado is actually calm and peaceful. Imagining an opposite or somehow mirrored world. What the sun is to us on earth, and what might be the equivalent from the sun’s perspective? The main sound in the song I see as mimicking the massive power of the sun, a force and scale that we can’t actually fathom, pushing against a threshold. While creating the work I probably imagined the negative space in the track representing the opposite nature of the sun’s sun, the opposite of great power and full presence, like a negative image.

Heralding on relationships that have developed over the years, @michaelred handpicked @synkro, @loscil and @phaeleh to remix his ambient material that he composes under the @souns-3 alias. Michael has shared the studio, or the stage with all three of them in multiple occasions, making this collaboration a natural continuation of their work together.

‘Souns - Sun Inside The Sun (The Remixes)’ is a collection of 4 unique reworks of Souns’ original song ‘Sun Inside The Sun’ taken from the Aquamarine album released on Subtempo on December 2017.

Morning Set @ Shambhala 2012 (Livingroom Stage)

this was a studio mix directly from:
- when i was living inside "the hum" (https://thehum.info ) in gibsons, bc
- when i was getting to know my XDJ unit and the cdj format in general
- when i was getting back in touch with why and how i want to dj (back to absolute basics). chasing that completely free spirit of un-attached freedom and experimentation, ..so playing around with some older, more "classic" tracks (b and c folders)

a lot of 2019 and 2020 was returning to form and re-discovering the basics and re-claiming a certain initial raw spirit of djing and "playing"

2021 is bigger picture and getting back on track and inline with seeking levels of refinement and perfection, folding in the younger energy of 2019 and 2020

tracks:

Crimson - Timelight
Atu - Missing You ft Dpat
Edamame - Sanguine
Jumping Back Slash - A Song About Birds
The Lasso - Free Pack (Inst)

Mr Mitch - Fly Soup
Chiefs - Can We Keep Eachother
Cyrus - Visions
