Underworld dreams with Newworldaquarium 

It was seven or eight years since Newworldaquarium last appeared in Berlin, playing Berghain or Panorama or something like that. In the grace of the artist's movements over the last years however, NWAQ has swayed from house music to something more 'life listening' - with his Wake 'n' Bake show on Mutant Radio a testament to his tastes and styles these days.

Bugged out at the fact that it had been so long since he last visited town, and with such a sound at his finger tips these days, a place in Absurd Lustre was an invite we had been trying to post for a long time. A man who loves his German beers as much as his lush, serene and calming ambient, the legendary Newworldaqaurium set can be described as some kind of technicolour  dream.

~ Recorded on KCHUNG Radio 1630AM, Moca Geffen 3/3/2024 ~

DJ Naygod's Soular Power continues to evolve with the intention of connecting themes surrounding collective healing through nature, science, and music - all of which I feel deeply connected to. 

Here is a Sunday morning mix of contemplative and soothing sounds made with the goal of remedying solastalgia I've been feeling. The word ‘solastalgia’ is a kind of homesickness one feels when their home has been altered and feels unfamiliar due to chronic environmental change. 

As our homes irrevocably change, the memory of what once was must live within us. In this mix, I dream of the livelihood of a healthy ecosystem, layering in feelings of nostalgia, yearning, and reflection through lyricism, jazz elements, and dubby atmospheres.

Local vibe setter Yibing  (@yibingg) during one of our best gatherings to date. Enjoy this two hour recording of heady tunes and tempo twisters.

Recorded on Nov 19, 2023.

Weird Science with Yibing

In this take over by the label TECNOLOGÍAS ELEMENTALES (Buenos Aires / Berlin), they present a selection of Djs and live acts to introduce their second album.  This encounter took place on a very special day: April 2nd in Argentina commemorates the victims of the Malvinas War, a bloody confrontation between the neoliberal government of Margaret Thatcher and the murderous Argentine dictatorship over British-occupied territory. 
Kiernan Laveaux is a connective rhythmic energy conduit & ecstatic beat conductor from the Great Lakes. A boundless ball of discordant energy, she’s best known for her arcane technical skill, propulsive dancefloor catharsis, & hyper-creative approach behind the decks. The music included here is all-embracing & expansive, but unified by a restless sense of ecstatic momentum, dissonant euphoria, & kinetic exuberance. This channels binary dissolving phenomena throughout our known universe via unbridled musical vitality.

Kiernan Laveaux - Tecnologías Elementales Takeover [02.04.2024]

90s and 00s downtempo, in our opinion over at Moods HQ, informed an entire generation of artists’ tastes and directions. It’s well understood by musician and DJ @agraybe, and for our next mix, she explores the depth of the oft undersung genre. Remember the feeling of inserting that mixtape in your siblings’ sedan; watch the trees blur by; see the rain yield to sunshine.

A real treat this month!! Resident at Freerotation festival and one of the minds behind UntilMyHeartStops and more recently Lamassu, this is Joe Ellis’s second guest appearance for Outsiders, the first was two years ago and still remains one of my all time favorite mixes, so I am seriously excited and honored to welcome Joe back with another stunning mix:)

Outsiders w. Duckett guest Joe Ellis [12.04.2024]

Sweet Abyss resident Kiernan Laveaux takes us on a journey through realms of shoegaze and bisexual lighting, inspired by music from her weird life and the work of famously bisexual shoegaze fan Gregg Araki - partly inspired by mixes from naemi/exael and Ricky Mawzlin of Jellyfish.

this installment features our dear friend, ariana gray bé (@agraybe) 💜

we invited her not only because she's a master selector, but also because we've also spent many nights cooking together, lamenting over environmental racism and reimagining a more sustainable life. ari had a hand in both auditory and gustatory portions of this installment, during which we had a grand time putting our heads together to make magic. thank you ari!

please enjoy her contemplations & delve into au(o)ral pleasure~

.:::

this mix is the sensorial result of the following:

“stone, soil, passion, symbiosis”

imagine what earth’s subsurface might sound like.

sink under ground with me for this mix.
engulf in soil, slithering insects, rocks and debris.
weave through tangling roots, cross through strata.

imagine now the work of humans in here.
pipes bisect an intricate network of roots.
soil replaced with concrete. ecosystems expunged.

the word, symbiosis, brings up pessimism in this context.

drilling, uprooting. depleting, consuming.
devouring more and more.

humankind (as it exists today) is earth’s parasite.

can humanity remedy it's relationship with earth before deeply disturbing everything in it’s path?

Twitching synths and disembodied soliloquies pulsate patiently through aka-Sol’s mix. An invitation to pause and ponder — grooving towards an expansive serenity.

Moods (2017-ongoing) is a community of nightlife workers, techno fans, and artists that platforms music outside of techno. We explore our community’s roots and origins to understand how music migrates from one geography and generation to another. We do this through monthly mixes, merchandise, and low-capacity events.

You're welcome to help pay and pave the way by giving $1, $4, or $20 a month here to support the project. Each Moods Mixer gets paid $50 for their mix—or we donate it to a cause or charity of their choice. The rest of the money fronts costs for merch, a Soundcloud or Substack subscription, and archive maintenance. To do so, head here: https://danielsharp.cargo.site/Moods

Season Seven (2024) is co-organized by, in alphabetical order:
Miguel Cisne, he/they (@miguelcisne)
Crystal Gause, she/her (@etta_sound)
Daniel Sharp, they/he/she (@endash)
