Live from the desert

Aaron J ( @arn_j ) is a Boston based DJ and label head, running the @sure_thing imprint. The talented DJ has become known through Sure Thing's exciting bill of events, mixes & releases, with an unwaveringly genuine commitment to music and the bright community that surrounds it in the US and abroad. 

As a DJ, Aaron has become known for his taste for deep & dark, yet somehow always whimsical and warm music, having pulled together beautiful musical narratives for a range of notable mix series - this mix is no exception. I'm so happy to have him as part of the series - and can't wait to meet someday in the (hopefully) not too distant future on a dance floor :-)

Rudimental - Free ft. Emeli Sandé & Nas (Maya Jane Coles Remix)

3,2,1.. lift off! Mukuna's tornado is heading your way and the only possible thing to do is to surrender to the tension. Industrial percussion, broken beat and glacial synthesisers are soaking you right into the eye of the storm. A variety of drums combined with African chants are another introduction of a new whirly roundabout. Fast and furious melodies are evolving into a mind-bending techno track, ready to hypnotise and sweep you of your feet in Mukuna’s twister. A refreshing blend of dancehall influenced tracks with jacking house and rhythmic noice keeps the mix interesting till the very last second until the storm settles. Enjoy flying!

RADIO.D59B / ON BOARD #1 w/ Laura BCR, Nems-B, Refracted

GiGi FM is a trained dancer, which gives her a deeper insight into the intrinsic relationship between music and bodily movement. You can read a lot more about her philosophy and approach in the interview below, but you don't even need to know about it to hear this in her RA Podcast—a collection of swirling deep techno that rivals anything made by the usual cohort of "hypnotic" techno heads.

Looking at the tracklist doesn't really do it justice, but the names involved give you an idea of what to expect: Varuna, ASC, Donato Dozzy, The Orb, Sunju Hargun. This is techno that ripples rather than bludgeons, that moves with an ethereal grace, where tracks bleed into one another beautifully, with a few surprises, too. While you're here, you should check out her Magnetite EP for Bambounou's label Bambe, already one of the young year's most bewitching techno records. But if this is your introduction, then turn off the lights, light a candle or some palo santo, and sink into two hours of your new favorite techno DJ.

Severja의 DJ 세트는 앰비언트부터 딥 테크노, 드럼 앤 베이스 등 장르를 가리지 않습니다. 특히 IDM 음악에 대한 애정이 남다른 그는 자신이 하는 모든 일에 독특한 스타일과 창의성을 불어넣어 진정한 아티스트이자 일렉트로닉 음악계에서 주목할 만한 인물로 자리매김했습니다. 베를린에 기반을 두고 다양한 사운드를 큐레이팅하는 음반사 Midgar를 설립한 세베자는 노르웨이의 음악 플랫폼이자 페스티벌 주최사인 Monument의 일원이기도 합니다. 음악에 대한 열정이 모든 세트에서 빛을 발하는 Severja의 세트는 일렉트로닉 음악을 사랑하는 사람이라면 놓칠 수 없는 공연입니다.

SuKhush Live @ O.Z.O.R.A. 2014 (Chill Dome)

To welcome the weekend, @Lau has enlisted the musical talents of @Saschienne for our latest mix release to accompany their new EP, Golden Prints on @kompakt.

As Saschienne, Sascha Funke formed a duo with multi-talented instrumentalist, singer and wife Julienne Dessagne (@thetrulyfantastictwins), creating a sound previously unknown to anyone following his solo work.

To us, they are possibly the most brilliant and cool couple in the music industry, Saschienne is the perfect blend of Sascha and Julienne's universe.

Enjoy!

Campfire Stories 72 (Through Time) by @jacopo_s 

~ About The Story ~

The river winds in from distant lands
With merciless power it turns stone to sand
Through its mysterious life, the very earth it commands
And Yet the fearful river still runs through our hands.
In torrents of furry where the deepest currents flow
The rivers wild waters surge with woe. For
Onward, forever, its destined to go
A permanent home it won't ever know.
The river runs from each of us
As a refugee of fear,
It knows in a blink it will be somewhere else
Its waves are really its tears.
It runs from the audacity  
Of the selfish human mind
As Its massive life capacity,
Of flora and fauna combined,
Are threatened by our antics and helpless to our crime
So the river runs on their behalf, from everyone, in time-
even within its whitecap foam
Water's yearning for a home
So roam does the water- endlessly,
till its long gone out of sight
The essential droplets of the river-
Nomads day and night. - Heavy Hearted

Campfire Stories 72 (Through Time) by Jacopo

Amsterdam-based DJ @mattikk began collecting records in the heady years of the mid-2000s. Although he found himself initially attracted to genres as diverse as hardcore, industrial, breakcore and jungle, his tastes soon widened even further to encompass dubstep, techno, and everything in between. 
Over time, his deep musical knowledge and passion for the scene naturally saw him gravitate towards work in the industry, taking up a label manager/A&R role for the legendary Dutch imprint @delsinrecords - a position that he still occupies today.

As a seasoned DJ, Mattikk has held down with residencies at Amsterdam’s Studio 80 and Shelter clubs, as well as hosting a monthly show on @redlightradio. His reputation for envelope-pushing, genre-bending, hypnotic and weird selections has seen him perform at some of the world’s most iconic techno clubs and festivals, including Berghain, De School, Trouw, Dekmantel and Bassiani. Next year promises to be an exciting one for Mattikk, with the inception of his own Delsin sub-label, with releases planned from Forest Drive West and natural/electronic.system., among others.

Building from an initially slow tempo to form a steadily intensifying collage of eclectic selections, Mattikk’s Patterns of Perception 56 is not only cohesive, but also utterly compelling.

Patterns of Perception 56 - Mattikk

Founder of Sure Thing, a label, event, and mix series dedicated to developing the audience for experimental and boundary-pushing electronic music throughout the US. As a performer, Aaron is inspired by the complex conversations that occur between music and emotion on the dance floor, and the way we experience these interactions together. Reflecting upon memories of these conversations, each set leaps between delicately layered moments that are at times expansile, blissful, and propulsive toward an energetic infinity.

@arn_j

I feel far away from everything and everybody, ever
so far away, and I feel as if all the adventures which
succeed one another incessantly were unfolding
themselves like a play in a theatre⁠—and I, miles and
miles away, watching. For a long time tonight I have
stood absolutely still, lost in an odd introspection,
watching with an inward eye the progress of these
years in our life.

~ About The Story ~

Whatever plows our dreams is ours to give:
The threshold rises and changes.
I give, I perceive;
Here are the gifts of day risen at last;
Blood of desire, the rising of belief
Beyond our fury and our silences.
