We're tumbling in and out of the haze again, swept up in an afterimage blur. Lying on the grass & breathing against the sky. I'm so happy to welcome Mallorca's @nueen (INDEX:Records, Good Morning Tapes) to the series, who channels the charged coastal air into a gorgeous sunset transmission I could stay and watch forever.

Sure Thing Mix 106: nueen

an hour and half of deeply moving, wildly tender mix by @syberkid :')

o: how have you been sleeping lately?
s: unpredictably. sometimes i sleep and wake up with the hazy memory of a glorious adventure, other days I wake with the horror of a nightmare clinging to my subconscious, and sometimes I can’t sleep at all...

o: are you a daydreamer or night swimmer?
s: always both ~ swimming in the daydreams, dreaming in the night swims.

o: where do you go to dream?
s: music is my portal to the dreamland. drone for the deepest cerebral dissolution into the realm of the imagination, something more energetic or colourful if I want to fly through the sky.

o: what was the last thing you heard that moved you?
s: the rustling leaves of trees in the wind, and birds calling to each other on a walk this morning.

o: have you ever cried on the dance floor?
s: yes, though not often, I’m more of “cry on the inside” dancer. 
though, the first time i remember actually crying on the dance floor was the first time i heard claro intelecto’s ‘peace of mind’ in 2013 i think… it was in my head for weeks afterwards https://youtu.be/m0-iideGM_k

o: where did you record this mix? 
s: in my living room, with my favourite cedar incense burning (i burn this every time I record a mix, a little ritual which always brings me to the right zone).

o: what drew you to the sounds?
s: you my bb <3 
this mix is my interpretation of all our beautiful sobcore listening sessions in your room after nights out, our shared love of soft emotional music, and how that translates into my sound. it’s sobcore x deep mind music, a journey for deep feelings, philosophical chats, cosy cuddles and imaginal drifting ~

o: what are you looking forward to the most this year?
s: i am most excited for the summer months to finally arrive, so I can once again frolic with friends in nature, listening to music outside 🤸🌲🌞

Philipp Otterbach is a German artist, DJ, and electronic music producer known for his experimental and atmospheric approach to sound.
His musical journey began in the underground scene of Düsseldorf, where he became involved with the influential club Salon des Amateurs—a space recognized for its avant-garde take on club music. It was there that Otterbach developed his distinct style, one that prioritizes emotional storytelling over conventional dancefloor functionality.
His productions often feature analog synths, field recordings, guitars, primal percussion, and ambient effects, forming dense and cinematic sound collages. Listening to his work feels like entering a sonic dreamscape—rich in mood, memory, and quiet tension. There's a strong narrative quality to his music, as if each track were part of an imaginary film score.

Ariana's comment on her approach to the mix, and her accompanying photo  which is up on our IG [at] new.palm :

“This is a picture I snapped on a recent hike (very close but lucky safe from the Altadena wildfire destruction zone). The tangly dense vines hugging around a grove of trees symbolize to me an ecosystem free from the stains of humankind. In this set, I imagined the sounds of before, during, and after the Anthropocene. This set was cathartic because, in the process of layering these sounds, I reflected on feelings of climate grief and solastalgia. I hope you are able to listen on a walk or somewhere quiet 🍃”

The 15th update to the Virtual Utopia program has been meticulously written by Naarm-based and China-born; Venus Flytrap. (@venusflyyytrap) Here she masterfully weaves microscopic spaced-out intricacies of IDM, ambient and off-kilter techno into a 66-minute audio-program embedded with layers of ethereal spaciousness and coded abstract breaks. Through this lens, the peripherals are the main focus. A mesmerizing soundtrack to cellular activity or the flashing LED’s of infinitely sent data packets- a sonic illustration of the parallels between computer science and microbiology, all coated in the hopeful gloss of a harmonious cyber-future.

Thankyou Ruoqiong for contributing to the series <3

what lies beyond

www.instagram.com/markuslipsoe

blurer is a peripheral study exploring ways to perceive our surroundings beyond any focal point. The poetic text where the winds are coming from, invites contributing artists and musicians to collectively explore a world that has become unfamiliar yet again. Inspired by the moment Alice tumbles into Wonderland, it asks what it means to unlearn, relearn, and navigate within a world anew. Like Alice, this conceptual mixtape delves into places, things, and feelings that have been overlooked, ignored or seen as a backdrop. The text, tracks, and sounds of this compilation take us on an explorative journey—not to arrive somewhere, but to sense that what lies within the blur has always already been in the here:now.
(Lisa Walder, 2025)

Most music is used as a form of abstract translation. To unblur the personal, we abstract it and transform and transport it through familiar sounds. Through abstraction, the motives are essentialized to their core. In this, minimalism becomes a prioritisation. A blur can be more flexible. The reduction of elements could be optimistic or protective.
What this release does is observe the peripheral, to look for emotionality or personality within it, but also to create atmospheres that appear peripheral, yet are again included in the general blur.
When hearing the sounds of blurer, the focus of the compositions fluctuates and directs the listener’s perception to certain points within, not only to hear what seems essential but also to draw closer attention to the peripheral. Throughout the whole release, the procedures are very different. Some moments are vivid, almost narrative. There are deconstructed references to find, in both energetic and quiet forms. Occasionally, we pass by rearing, foggy drone walls or prancing, twirling, or scurrying melodies carried around, on synths or guitar strings. Blurer seems to harbor atmospheres of comfort in the cold, loops of spiraling memories or expressions of disorientation, that scamper around on the acoustic foundation created by the 19 artists.

After a few months break, now feels like the perfect time to release the next Deep Mind Music mix. The next entry comes from London-based DJ Gyorgy Ono, who has put together a winding, rich and pensive 2 hour journey, which takes us through strange landscapes, aural curiosities, blissful reveries and back again. 

In January Gyorgy shared Aphex Twin’s Stone In Focus on Facebook, and we started talking about the power of this track, and ambient music in general, to connect you with a feeling of deep nostalgia for a state of being long forgotten, that familiarity which creates a universal connection between listeners. I asked him to contribute a Deep Mind Music mix following this conversation, as this philosophy underpins much of my exploration with ambient and drone music, I’m fascinated with its ability to voice an expression of feelings which transcend our known experience of reality. 

I feel Gyorgy’s mix has captured the mood shifts we’re all feeling at the moment on a daily basis whilst isolating from the world in lockdown. Voicing the instability, the twinges of collective grief, and surreal calm we are all oscillating between in the ups and downs of home life. 

The mix is in two parts, the first half sets the scene, exploring different pockets of sound and feelings, sketching out spaces and landscapes. In the second half the sonics gloriously unspool and slowly smear, swirling in a thick haze around us as Gyorgy brings in spiralling piano arpeggios, zithers suspended in mid-air, and misty strums of guitar. 

This mix has such a cohesion in form and richness in detail that it summons a vision of a fully formed sonic world, somewhere distinctly other and yet strangely familiar. I know I’ll be getting lost in this mix for many months to come. In every sense of the phrase, a deep mind trip.
