Mysteries of the Deep Podcast

MYSTERIES OF DEEP

I always welcome new music, new connections, new friendships that then come along. In this example, a track premiere by Joachim Spieth at the end of last year made me relisten to his works on Wolfgang Voigt’s  Pop Ambient series, taking me to releases on his very own Affin imprint and finally asking him for a mix. In this process, this seemingly random stranger quickly became a musical friend, as we exchanged grand ideas and connected with music. I really appreciated the spectrum of electronic music genres covered on Spieth’s German label and requested that he showcased the output through a traversal of styles. The result is a beautiful 90-minute journey that will take you from soothing to upbeat, through highs and through lows. I’m very happy with how it turned out and honoured to host this showcase on Headphone Commute.

Joachim Spieth - Affinities

Sassy J takes us on a ‘Quest’ traversing a colourful landscape of warm grooves and intriguing rhythms. We caught up with her to see how the recent year has affected her approach and perspective. Whilst describing the mix, she said ‘It’s a reflection of what I felt within the last year: The dense dynamic of different moods. Facing the turmoil around. Navigating and taking action. The quest to the omni-potential that is you and surrounds us’.

Interview

Oddysee 027 | 'The Quest' by Sassy J

Up for the 27th installment in our mix series is dear friend and colleague Kennedy (@kennedyams) who's a keen member of the MFM crew and recently started his own label Dream Machine. Interview (excerpt) down below.

www.musicfrommemory.com

MFM: Hey Nick seemed like a good time to finally get you to introduce yourself and join our mix series since you’ve been helping with MFM a while now. Can you let everyone know a bit more about yourself?

K: Hey hey. Thanks for the opportunity :) So, I live in Amsterdam where my life is (and always has been) centered around music. I've been helping out at MFM for some years now and besides that I have my studio that I religiously visit 3 days a week. In a normal world you'd also find me working at Red Light Records once a week and playing shows on the weekends where they'd have me.

MFM: You’re also working on your own productions, can you tell us a little more about your own music?

K: So it had always been a dream to release my own music on vinyl and after messing around for over 10 years the time felt right and I recently realized my own label Dream Machine. Both musically as aesthetically the idea was for each release to reflect a dream but in tangible form. As I tried to put it into words it is “A series of thoughts, sensations and sounds occurring from a person's mind, translated by machines”, and it really is just that. 

MFM: How has the situation affected your productivity with making dance music?

K: A bit double to be honest. Of course I've had my rough times, which can be frustrating. Quite often I wasn't feeling motivated or inspired at all, the purpose felt a bit misplaced or something like that... On the other hand and above all I felt relatively lucky to be able to go leave the house and get lost in the studio. Having the luxury to escape to a creative environment surely helped keeping calm. Eventually it did result in Dream 1 being released and with Dream 2 coming up.

MFM: What would you say does inspire your music? Is it very process based through jamming and so on or do you start with ideas and try and see where that takes you?

K: For me inspiration goes hand in hand with motivation, it's all very much based on how I feel. I don't work well at night for example, daylight is my natural battery. And anything can be a source of inspiration really. Often an idea comes to mind when walking through the park on my way to the studio, listening to music or just wandering off. A melody, a chord, something rhythmical, a vibe... Depending on what idea it brings I choose an instrument or tool and go from there. Mostly through jamming yes, and then see where the machines take me. 

MFM: What would be some ways you would like to see the world of dance music evolve and grow now we’ve all had a moment to pause and reflect?

K: I actually would rather see it all take a couple steps back first. It would be nice if (dance) music gets acknowledged and valued as an essential form of art more. Music really unites and it needs proper breeding grounds for people, free from any social, economical, racial or whatever context to express, connect, create, collaborate, learn, etc. It's essential, and it should be treated and used as such (not in the last place also by governments), with more care, necessity and sustainability. 

MFM: Tell us more about the mix and what vibe you were trying to bring here?

K: I sort of tried to reflect my perception of this recent change in life. As a big fan of Lonnie Liston Smith (and The Cosmic Echoes) the song 'Visions Of A New World' first came to mind and I just took it from there. If you're in for an atmospheric laid back magic carpet ride with lots of percussion, spiritual jazz, ambient techno and forest sounds, this is for you :)

Hirotaka Shirotsubaki

From a small town in Kobe.
He began his career in 2011. Taking inspiration from the natural surroundings in the suburbs where he grew up, his early music’s major themes were the city and nature. However, his later music tends towards the impersonal, allowing each listener to fit the sounds into the spaces of his or her life, attempting to link the ideas of memory and recollection into his music.

Mysteries Of The Deep Podcast, Chapter IV. Amorphous by Eric C Holmes.

Eric grew up in southwest Florida in a very musical Baptist family. At an early age he discovered skateboarding, and this became his foundation and community for music, art and fashion. One thing led to another, and after playing various instruments in different bands in his early 20's he found himself tending bar at a club in London. It was there that he discovered contemporaries that allowed him to expand his ideas of music from acoustic to electronic.

Now in Brooklyn, he feels like he his surrounded by more talented people than ever before. He and his high-school buddy John Petro play together in a electronic-based project called Mariner.  He is inspired by people, ideas and endeavors that traverse the spectrum - those that cross through genre and subvert expectation.

Mysteries Of The Deep V - ERIC CLOUTIER | COLD IS THE VOID

A familiar face around the Dutch capital, Amsterdam-based DJ and producer Kennedy has been immersed in music and records for over two decades, putting into practise his mantra of moving both the body and the soul.

While day-to-day he can be found behind the counter at Red Light Records pushing wax, as well as being part of the team at Jamie Tiller and Tako Reyenga's Music From Memory imprint, his own musical endeavours see him taking over the waves at Red Light Radio and running his own Dream Machine imprint, which he launched last year with a debut record from himself. 

This year will see him release a second on the label and also debut overseas on DJ D.Dee's renowned Pacific Rhythm imprint. In the run up to these production outings, we asked him to take the reigns for this week's Shine A Light On mix, which sees him serve up a soothing selection of music for the soul...

Kennedy: The 'Shine A Light On' Mix

Mysteries of the Deep is a New York-based record label, podcast, and event series — focused on ambient & experimental music in various forms. Mysteries — as fans lovingly call it — is concerned with exploration of unknown realms, and its focus, in addition to showcasing a dynamic spectrum of electronic music from foremost artists in the field, is to thoughtfully engage its audience. 

Conceptualized in 2011, Mysteries began as a podcast series that, now in its eleventh year, has hosted an array of mixes and original works. The project has since evolved, expanding into a curated global event series and record label.
