Back to our mix series with this wonderful offering from Marijana Croon.  Originally from Belgrade but now based in Cologne, Marijana is a molecular biologist as well as a vibrant member of her local scene. In normal times she can be found DJing in places like Salon des Amateurs and Acephale and hosting her radio show 'Deflections' on Retreat Radio. 

Her Phase Group mix fuses otherworldly sound designs with echoing percussion pieces and slow dark club music for the twilight hours, futuristic synthesised environments dripping with reverb and long echoes inducing trance states and transcendence. Thanks Marijana!

Phase Group Mix - Marijana Croon

Balmat’s second release comes from @hoavi, aka Kirill Vasin, a Russian electronic musician whose work approaches what might be familiar reference points —deepest dub techno, atmospheric ambient, liquid drum’n’bass— with a singular and refreshing point of view.

We first became aware of Hoavi after coming across one of his tracks in a DJ mix by Leech, aka Peak Oil label founder Brian Foote; we began corresponding, which led to a massive zip file of unreleased tracks turning up in Balmat’s inbox. Music for Six Rooms has been culled down from that bounty, its disparate moods distilled into 10 profoundly immersive tracks that touch upon dream pop, dub techno, and new age, all swirled together into the headiest of ambient dreamscapes.

Active since the early 2010s, when he founded his Shells Rattle label, Hoavi has released on a number of labels including floe, Snare Tapes, Fauxpas, and Minor Notes. In October, Peak Oil will finally release his album Invariant, recorded in 2019 and intended for release in 2020, then tied up in pressing-plant backlogs for over a year. Balmat’s Music for Six Rooms follows roughly a month later; we think that the two albums offer a wonderfully complementary view of Hoavi’s talents—one rhythmic, the other largely beatless, yet both of them sensuous in the extreme.

Music for Six Rooms appears in two slightly different editions. The vinyl edition appears on a single piece of vinyl upon which some tracks have been subtly edited in length, to ensure maximum audio fidelity; the digital version features extended edits and runs some 18 minutes longer, in total, for a maximally immersive experience.

"I dreamt that I was in an oceanside bunker rave. Everything was surrounded by a silver swamp. A slidy, iridescent slick of mud led into the choppy, steely waters. With my best pal Katie we go on an extracurricular to steal cutlery from a nearby canteen. It made me think of times of unproductiveness. Failed time, liquefied time. 
That image stayed with me and so I wanted to recreate the soundtrack for the side mission Katie and I were on that night. Eighteen tracks from friends, acquaintances, people I respect and who inspire me. I guess I spent the last three years making sense of the fact that I no longer live on the islands. I think that I occasionally look back and pine for that silvery swampiness, the surrealism, the harshness, the softness, the many friendships. I miss my pal, so this music is for her. Hope we can go to a rave again soon."

Cucina Povera is the solo recording project of Finnish-Luxembourgish, ex-Glasgow and now Amsterdam-based artist Maria Rossi. Gleaning sound worlds from mostly mundane things and haunted effects, Rossi makes work around the dual notion of precarity and nourishment.

Elijah

another day of exploring old and new machinery. the heating system went down in the building today, but my studio is small and those electronic instruments create a beautiful digital warmth.

i am exploring how to create rhythm and melodic notes without sequencers. it is all envelopes, clock dividers, gate delays, pitch quantisers, LFOs etc. and no master sequencer, just a global clock.
