This mix is dedicated to opening. I had the good fortune to open for two fantastic events @Qaotiq-sf and Ever Afters - this mix contains a lot of tracks from the former with some new stuff I’ve been on sprinkled in there. I’ve found that opening allows for a little more creative freedom, giving space for a borderless dynamic. Attempting to recapture the essence felt on the floor is a fool’s errand, but I tried my best to record this while putting myself in that headspace. 

Been sitting on @MattBrownell’s words that opening for special events is a lot like being a Master of Ceremonies. Setting the table for the night. Imagine I’m watching people fill into the open floor, slowly welcoming attendees to the beautiful digital sound forest created by Envelope Soundsystem and @loafbkr. The beats are spaced out in parts, moody, up-tempo moments that come and go. (My happy place, tbh) The night is early, there’s a long way to go, and here is the first leg of your journey.

a fond adieu from @kstime to Tokyo-based listening event, Satori

"I recorded this in preparation for the final Satori event before an undetermined hiatus. Since being part of Satori - a deep listening event in Tokyo - I have felt myself grow as a listening DJ and it feels quite sad to be saying goodbye to the team, many of whom have been with us from the start. 

Unlike most of my mixes which are a mix of vinyl and data, this is solely data, simply because I am downsizing and have sold many of my records. A full-data mix is very different from a mix of formats or even just a vinyl mix. More effects can be applied and I find that I used more recent music, much which has an electronic zing to it. But as it is the last event for while, I picked some tracks I’d not played for years - Raime, Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith and Jessica Ekomane to name a few. This is a mix for co:clear in tribute to Satori, in the hope that maybe one day y’all can experience each other f2f, be that Asia, Europe or somewhere in between xx"

Putting a pigeon amongst the cats we are back with that good shit. An out of step, incidental artefact of peaceful sophistry: YS - Brutal Flower (2 x “12 LP). A no airs and graces piece of cool future-proof ambience. A modern ballad for brave young clubbers, local pubbers, slipstream warriors, and emotional doggers.

The distinctive aesthetic hallmarks of YS are all here: slabs of urban flavour from emotional interior; raw data straight from the interface. ‘Untethered’ and ‘Down’ are chopped-up cuts of searching R’n’B - jaded jams of lustful erasure. On the flipside, blunted desire lingers in ‘Fading
Memory’. Both hopeful and mourning: this is the lay of the land in Brutal Flowers sharing that rare strain of underground synesthesia best located in dark undercurrents of early Mo Wax.

The orchestral ambience of ‘Autumn OST’ is a potent stupor of end credit cinematics. Coming up for air. It feels young in an ancient sort of way: pure as first snow. And from here in the album unfolds with the patience, tranquility and the expansive poise of a work that is for now and always. Pulsating gently to assured ending with ‘Be Together’ - a flickering skyline, swarming with warm memories. In between there’s flashes of heartbreak reminiscent of Beltran's Ten Days of Blue and Blunt’s Stone Island (‘Look Up’ feels like a sort of spiritual successor to ‘Wake up’), that being said, when push comes to shove it only it ever flirts with its own reality.

An aesthetic reflection of a creative process that is delicate and restless. Created in the edges, where long distances, fast cities and global melancholia are wrought large. Burning the midnight oil Berlin-Singapore style: from real to reel. A sentimental exercise of modern faith by old
friends. With a nudge and a wink, Brutal Flowers is a (de)coded map of memories wavering with familiar intrigue. Patient listeners and the already initiated will be rewarded on re-visits - as playful & profound as you please, as deep as the heart.

The scathe that cuts is clean and deep. There are no sleight of hands to be found in this opus, only hearts are worn on the sleeve here.

A hill we’d gladly die on
