'His mixture of lush electronics and his huge smile complements the music scenes of dance music crusaders as well as spirits in search for mellow moods. Invited to festivals and nightlife like Draaimolen, Together Boston, STRP Festival and the former club Trouw, Will has a predilection for spots that are open-minded for new sounds and thoughts. Will has always been respected for his unique and alternative take on music and this is probably what makes him one of the most enduring artists around.' - Will Oirson

Drift Radio @ Open Source Radio w/ Will Oirson

"0-12 Antarctica, air, flightless birds sliding and mating. 12-18 fluctuations in the atmosphere of a Tibetan village, carriages and bells. 18-29 submerged in the Atlantic Ocean, listening to the sound of currents and whales. 29-36 walk through the middle of Changbai forest, rivers and a calm feeling. 36-69 wormhole, 5th dimension, space travel, loss of sense of time. 69-75 coming home after a journey through morphing territories"

Morphing Territories' (@morphingterritories) music explores the delicate balance between power and emotion. Its timeless approach to techno is based on the hypnotic, unpredictable atmospheres of modular synthesis and field recording. Inspired by the nature of his native Switzerland, as well as the music of pioneers like Mike Parker, Morphing Territories is on a boundless quest to perfect the beat. Through tireless improvisation and introverted self-discovery, his finely-sculpted sound constructs push the boundaries of both complexity and simplicity. As an extension of his musical vision, Morphing Territories’ self-titled label presents a full range of psychedelic dancefloor experiences. His own releases there, as well as for labels like KCZ (@benkaczor) and Oslated (@oslated), channel spontaneity and even chaos into purist, deeply-affecting techno trips. The vibe he creates in the studio is developed further by his journeying DJ or live sets, as well as by his mix series Sense (@esnes). Altogether, the distinct avenues create a complete sound world, where the relentless beat of a drum, the trails of driving rhythms and the warmth of soaring pads combine into a potent formula.

HOCast #75 - Morphing Territories

An opportunity to glimpse into the home-listening playbook of an artist is always an intriguing premise for a podcast. It is a chance to build depth and create context for the music that is produced by the artist, as well as what is generally chosen to penetrate the club walls.
 
For Inchmix074, Belgian artist @emily_jeanne has compiled an eclectic selection of tracks, meticulously crafted to slowly unfold over 100 minutes.

For the first quarter of the mix, the ears are welcomed with crunchy, broken sound design paired with the metallic pinball of IDM compositions. The mix progresses into downtempo percussive numbers before breaking into a proper gallop with DnB, 170 & Grey-Area Techno. Putting on the breaks, Emily works her way back to the obscure corners of contemporary ambient and post-club music before bringing the mix to a gentle conclusion; a mix which continues to surprise after successive listens.

Coming across the Aotearoa / New Zealand based duo of Brooklyn Mellar and Ike Zwanikken's Hysterical Love Project has been one of the nicest music related surprises of 2021 for me. Their album, "Endless Bliss Weekener", hits a sweet spot somewhere between the 4AD / Projekt universe and early 2000's / late 90's downtempo. I'm so excited to have them contribute a mix to the series... (which features an unreleased demo of theirs :))

Living Room n°84 ~ @konalgad

q. pls introduce yourself:

Hey :) I am Ahmad Qatramiz, a Syrian-French artist based in Paris. Grew up in Syria, then France and I am a passionate person about life, nature, science, music, art and all things in between. 


q. is there a story behind the mix?

There’s no specific story behind the mix, apart that it depicts the music that I’ve been passionate about the last weeks. The tracks that are present are the deep sounds that enchant my ears and soul when I am chilling, and relaxing. It’s built around tracks, unreleased and released, of mine. There are multiple tracks of the same artists as well, and it’s in some way presenting my respect and admiration for these artists for deeply inspiring me.


q. what’s the best way to enjoy your mix?

On a bike ride (although it’s not the safest), or by the water somewhere in the woods :) 


q. describe a favourite object in your living room…

My formica wooden table, I don’t have it anymore because I moved out of my place and am currently living for a limited time at parent’s again, but I miss it so much. It was home for me. Very simple and lovely feeling.


q. are you working on any projects right now (music or not music)?

Absolutely, I am building a new label with friends called Sensory Cells. It’s based around sensory exploration of the subjective of each artist around specific topics. It will be an audio - visual - zine label, sharing scientific topics around senses either in their sociological aspect or physiological one. More to come very soon. It will be showcasing new microscopic art I’ve been developing lately.
Also, I am working on my second LP, which I think will come by a succession of 2-3 EPs on Sensory Cells before forming the LP. Stay tuned :)

Ride like the wind

It's a pleasure to welcome Terry Radio / West Mineral affiliated wunderkind Ulla to the mmixx series. Her recording here is a comforting, amorphous assemblage, and serves as a fitting soundtrack for the current limbo between seasons.  Make sure to seek out her own music if you haven't already----you'll b deeply rewarded!

I like smooth & metamorphic Tech, Ambient & Leftfield electronic music, new varieties of Patterns & Sequences,.. the possibility of a much wider world that corresponds to the already wide possibilities of modern music.----FREE PALESTINE  &  EQUAL HUMAN RIGHTS WORLDWIDE !!!
