Alicks - Giants Under The Sea

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!

BASSCOAST 2023

literally one of the best feeling events in east van for 2024. vibes were absolutely electric. room was rammed. dancefloor freaking out. old school, new school and next school junglist confluence.

sully destroyed and fully delivered, as expected. all djs did, all night. the energy *still* remains tangible from this night.

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

tracklisting forthcoming ..

MICHAEL RED & DONNA DADA @ THE DELI (NOV 22 2024)

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.

From Yamaneko's new mini-LP Spa Commissions: 
tinyurl.com/SpaCommissions

--

We’re over the moon to present Spa Commissions, a new mini-LP by Yamaneko.

Since breaking through with 2014’s debut album Pixel Wave Embrace, Yama has been one of the key electronic artists combining electronic music with ambient – with a fragile sound equally inspired by grime, new age cassette music, video game soundtracks and techno.

Despite being his first release, Pixel Wave Embrace became a cult classic – quietly but notably influential on the artists around him and further afield. Yama has continued to spread his influence since, soundtracking an advert by Supreme, providing the music for a short film by Oliver Payne (work shown at MoMA, The Serpentine, The Tate, Whitechapel Gallery and more) and teaming up with Mr. Mitch as Yaroze Dream Suite. He’s become a key part of this label, performing at both our recent Boiler Rooms and most of our shows – we couldn’t picture Local Action without him. Last year we released his second album, the colder, less inviting Project Nautilus.

Earlier this year, Yama was commissioned to create music for a spa in Europe. These commissions eventually developed into a full album’s worth of material, collected and fleshed out here to create his most blissful, beatless record to date.

"I made this track from samples of a piano board I recorded in EMS Stockholm with LAIR while we were working on our project. And some microphone hiss for the beats. I have been making purely percussive tracks recently for my upcoming album, so for this track I wanted to have an emotive melodic element as well. The title refers to the difficulty it seems as a human to live as you truly want, as opposed to how you think you should." - @eomac

from 'Calibrate' [CD|LP|DIGITAL]
Denovali Records · den311
available on all formats at http://denovali.com/ricardodonoso

“Quicksilver frequencies, gravelly formants and shimmering, mirage-like washes of tone. Sometimes his sounds feel like signals picked up by a radio telescope, or pure electricity poured through a sieve” Pitchfork

“He displays a resistance towards the boundaries of genre, taking experimental, techno and noise templates and blending them with different range of sounds, delivering some of the most wonderfully eccentric and evocative music in recent memory” Dummy  

“Transcendently dark permutations” The Ransom Note

“A genre-defying electronic explorer” Exclaim

On November 30th Denovali records presents ‘Calibrate’ – the new album by respected underground figure, composer and producer Ricardo Donoso. As has now come to be expected from the questing musician, once again he has endeavoured to do things differently, pushing beyond any comfort-zone parameters. 

‘Calibrate’ proffers the highest of fidelity, with blockbuster sci fi levels of production value and bombast. Donoso channels sonic spirits across fluro pointillism, futuristic industrial tribalism and more serene moments of synthetic reflection.

Having never courted accessibility, Donoso remains as unbending as ever in his approach and unwavering in commitment to his craft. Calibrate takes Donoso’s polymetric abuse and sound design to all new extremes. Conflicting rhythms and swathes of electronic debris move in tandem, to create pieces that expand and contract in on themselves.

A journey through Calibrate is an exercise in instability and failure; its aggressiveness serves as a warning against the urge to seek safety on common ground, and its entire approach seems to display a hostility towards the increasingly homogenized nature of new electronic music. 

The first in a two-part series, ‘Calibrate’ seeks to explore not only the literal connotations of instrument accuracy, gauging and tuning, as represented by the constant flux of machinery and computer noise, but also explores calibration as an adjustment; to take external factors into account, or to allow comparison with other data. With ‘Calibrate’ Donoso continues to question what music is, and what it expects of him. 
Ricardo Donoso is a composer, percussionist and electronic musician from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil who currently resides in Boston. After having studied composition at Berklee College of Music and the New England Conservatory, he has participated in a slew of projects over the years, from holding down the drum chair in avant-metal visionaries Ehnahre, to scoring for recent documentary features such as Greg Barker’s ‘Homegrown: The Counter Terror Dilemma’ (HBO pictures 2016) and the Grand Prize short film winner in Brazilian cinema ‘Casimiro Effect’. Donoso has since collaborated with film makers and video artists on commissions worldwide, creating immersive environments and performances. 
As a solo recording artist, Donoso has released music on esteemed labels such as Denovali, Digitalis, Further Records and Hospital Productions, and continues to tour throughout Europe, Asia and Latin America. He is most concerned with building and manipulating an immersive sound world that blurs the line between light and dark, hope and despair, past and future. Under a chain of progressive rhythms, cinematic textures and elegant melodicism, Donoso’s work pushes through with piercing strength, manipulating a sonic wave through space with nothing but mind-blowing intensity.

Bright Patterns with Vicki Siolos @ The Lot Radio 07 - 30 - 2020

Tune in for this month's Observation Radio show.

Welcome back to an other episode of The Observation Radio Show, with Mental on the guestmix section. His carefully selected sounds always offering new perceptions from various genres, specially ambient and electronic worlds. Finally after many Dome openings, he is here to show his observer side.
“ I am observing 2020 and it's chaos. or better i am observing the effects of its chaos upon me. Fragility,  intimacy, solitude, confusion and quest for the peace of mind. The first part of the mix  host all these. Then sparse attempts of reaction, irregular percussive attempts to break free, to finally get back to quiet shallows of acceptance.”
Before his magic, please welcome my 71th mix from fresh stuff that came along the way. Music is our savior! Keep the Light, win the fight.

In the autumn of 2010, the first electronic music training in higher education was launched in Hungary, and since then every year one class has been starting at the Faculty of Arts of the University of Pécs. This is retrospective compilation of works created by students of Electronic Music and Media Arts on the University of Pécs in the last decade.

EZMBA - Retrospective compilation | Free Harbour series Ep. 29 | 25/12/2020

Curated and recorded on Dec 27th 2020, a grey rainy day on Salt Spring Island. 

A fragrance that transports you into realms of stillness. 
A space awaiting to be seized by an attentive mind. 
A quill drawing multichrome feathers from vaporous ink.

The Indelible Fragrance Of Space

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
