Ramu Records crew member - Crab (Martynas Viksva) presents his visions and dreams via his immersive vinyl set of SAPNU #003.

It is a warm summer night, and we are participating in the wild ritual. Massive bonfire flames are coming up to the sky, and scores of people dressed like animals dancing around. Others are sitting and playing the drums, and I am sitting all naked next to this folk. Drums start to play louder and louder, and it is getting unbearably hot. Flames are soothing and burning my body at the same time. Sweat runs like rivers, and I close my eyes and start feeling how my soul is parting the body. 

I'm leaving this world by ascending high. Surrounded by soft and cool clouds, I am running through treetops and jumping on the highest mountains. My inner voice tells me to keep running forward on these long bridges to reach that magical passage to happiness and bliss. 

I start wondering what I will have to say or how to greet the happiness? Would I be able to touch it or smell it? Not feeling the ground underneath, I'm just ascending higher and higher into the infinite skies. Suddenly I see an image and start going forward with my last bits of energy. And finally hit a mirror in which I witness myself.  

All confused, start thinking whether this is how happiness and bliss looks. Did I have to go all the way and spend all the energy to find myself at the other end? Do I have enough willpower to find a different type of bliss, joy or happiness because the current one is not enough? Should I stay or ascend further?

Last night I had a dream about mars. And since I am the moon just by being a female spirit and mars is in conjunction with the moon just today I felt it was needed to release the shadow that I dragged out from my soul on hunters full moon in october. It´s been hunting me evre since trying to get a grip again but that shall not happen.

With this I ask all shadows, bad omens, dark spells, impure deeds, bad intentions and entities to leave my realms.

Fjäder - Releasing The Shadow

Welcome to the 236th Chapter of the Deep Electronics Podcast. A weekly released podcast that brings you a diversity into the abyss of deep electronic music. This weeks set is created by returning artist Ambionic.

Bio:

ambionic (Joe Woodruff), Oxford, UK.

When approaching ambient mixes, I like to incorporate emotive tracks, this could be exploring deep melancholic sounds as well as more melodic and uplifting pieces. I also like to try and create some tension with darker atmospheric sections so hopefully these things come through. You will find field recordings, parts of film scores and other samples as well as my own track edits, the idea being to create a style of space, nature and cinematic moments.

The working title of this mix was 'Hope Springs Eternal', this is the mantra from my favourite film of all time, there's another clue in the track list to work out what that is...

Corell - A Look Inside 
Optimism [ALXNDR011 / Alexandar]

Produced by Roman Kutnov aka Corell
Mastered by Voislav Dimitrijevic
Artwork by Voislav Dimitrijevic
Released by Alexandar from Singapore
Release Date : April 12th. 2020

In the age of neoliberal capitalism when every aspect of our existence needs to have a rational function, purpose and value, music starts to be seen as a tool or mere application for our everyday routines. There is music for better working efficiency, music to calm you down after the exhausting job, music to take drugs and dance to, music for meditation and so-called spiritual growth etc.

“Optimism” is an attempt to confront that paradigm and liberate the music from the dictatorship of current consumption models and strict functionality. This is reached by adopting and deconstructing the elements of modern electronic music and focusing on what lies beneath them: sparse polymetric beats instead of dance grooves, textures instead of timbres, mutating and morphing loops instead of melodic lines, rhizomatic structures instead of linear compositions.

The result is an emotionally diverse musical journey that constantly shifts away from listener’s expectations while still striving to grab the attention. Free for interpretations, “Optimism” raises the question if there is a chance to escape the utilitarianism these days?
