Our next premiere is from good friend Darris Hopper on the brilliant mexican label Secuencias Temporales. This stellar release is poised with atmospheric techno, broken beats and sultry layers of warmth. 'Desert Flower' is a majestically floating piece that weaves between atmospheric techno and half time dnb with its beautiful percussions and growling low ends. Definitely my favorite on the release.
  
Darris Hopper - Desert Flower
Sand & Sea [ST081 / Secuencias Temporales]

Is all about the experiences we feel when in contact with Nature...
We are so used to living in the matrix that we don't realize how much we need to re-establish connections with ourselves and mother earth.

This work is a way to describe how a simple morning hike between the sand of the desert and the mediterranean sea in a natural park in southern Spain can touch our deepness and make us feel that huge and strong connection with nature.

Written and Produced by Alex Tirrelli in Spain.
Mastering by Mattias Fridell in Sweden.
Released by Secuencias Temporales from México City, México
Release Date : November 18th. 2024

AF Premiere: Darris Hopper - Desert Flower [Secuencias Temporales][OUT!!18.11.24]

Well, folks, here we are, near the end of this year. I could say a lot about 2024, none of which was highly positive and worth celebrating, so I’m happy to close this chapter and move on anew. If I could try to name one highlight of the last year, it would be the accelerating advancement of artificial intelligence, and even then, I’m not sure if it’s a good thing. I am confident that I’m not alone in this sentiment, having spoken to many musicians and label owners reflecting on the state of the scene, the music “business”, and the world in general. Plenty are struggling to keep going and hopefully persevere. With that said, I did spend a tremendous amount of time highlighting the albums worthy of your attention and money and selected my favourites for the upcoming Best of the Year feature, which I will begin publishing on January 1st. It’s one thing worth looking forward to. The other is this fantastic collaboration between my favourite artists, Joachim Spieth and Agustín Mena, recording as Warmth and SVLBRD. Separately, the two have produced an abundance of heart-warming music on their respective labels, Affin and Archives, which has kept me in comfort, sanity, and peace. Mena’s 2018 release Parallel nursed me out of COVID and remains at the top of my rotations, unparalleled in its charm. Meanwhile, Spieth’s dubbed-out ambience has been a spellbinding companion at home and on my travels, reducing anxiety and focusing the mind. I’ve profiled both artists on these pages in-depth (read the most recent In the studio with Joachim Spieth), and I’m excited to announce their upcoming joint release and share an exclusive premiere of this beautiful track.

TRACK PREMIERE : Joachim Spieth | Warmth - Spectral

Let Me Out (Intro)

Lens of Time’ builds its pulse from unconventional percussive patterns, weaving together organic textures with GiGi FM’s ethereal vocals. As she explains, “We drew on traditional Thai instruments from the studio, blending them with live recordings of my voice—both for singing and percussive elements. Poetry added another layer, grounding the track with an emotional, almost narrative dimension.”

As GiGi FM reflects, “Our work together became about tapping into something much bigger than ourselves—this grand, cosmic interconnectedness. Time, for us, wasn’t linear—it felt collective and expansive, a thread connecting our experiences, traumas, and creative visions.”
