Following the end of the blog, he has devoted his energies to DJing and organising parties, and in the process has become an integral part of Japan’s electronic music community. As a DJ, Chris SSG has taken a less common approach, focusing primarily on ambient and experimental music. He has developeda distinctive approachto ambient that has a similar structure and dynamicto a techno set, only aimed for the headand heart.

Eternal Bliss - Episode 2

"A set of electro-tinged tracks with a retro flavor, weaving hypnotic acid lines and an IDM feeling that recalls visions of the future. Danceable and immersive, this hour of music feels both nostalgic and fresh, channeling the timeless pull of electro’s spirit."

With a sundered focus on both calming and engaging sounds, Celadons (@celadon) selections are best described as a fuse of curious ambiance and introspection. Her mixes draw you in with their gentle approach and carefully selected sounds.

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

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.
