been looking forward to this journey!!! <3 <3

At Navigare Audio we believe in creating our own traditions and rituals. As the earth has circled around the sun for another round we decided to once again start the new year with a ambient podcast as the first chapter and set of 2023. And this time it's very personal: 

"Let’s travel back in time, to an insanely hot afternoon at the backstage camp of Ozora Festival in 2018. While heading out of the camp for another spontaneous adventure under the sun an excited Greg Hunter comes up to me and tells me that he wants to introduce me to someone. A friendly man, middle aged, and with a UK accent, stretches out his hand and says “Hi, I’m Matt”. Confused by the excited looks around me I quickly dig into long forgotten corners of my memory. “Matt, Matt, Matt? Matt who? Should I know this guy?” When the penny finally drops I burst out “Ishq!” and can’t help but give him my warmest hug and thank him as sincerely as I possibly can. For all the beauty, and for all the blissful and comforting moments throughout half a lifetime. Starstruck and clumsy, yes, but as honest and pure as the music you’re about to listen to. 

While “Orchid” would be the eternal point of reference for most of us, that must’ve soundtracked gazillions of psychedelic comedowns over the last two decades, it’s only a small fragment of the sonic treasures waiting to be discovered for the curious explorer. From the mid 90’s technoid experiments with the late Jake Stephenson (that deservedly was re-released on Transmigration in 2019), through the dreamy, infinitely beautiful ambient he is most known for, to the lush, nature loving soundscapes on his label Virtual, there’s really no other musician you need to guide you through the beyond within. Ishq, meaning “love” in various Middle Eastern and Northern African languages, is a master of his craft, pacifying and healing our souls in a corrupt and stressful environment like no one else.

We are truly honored to present the music of Ishq to our Navigare listeners. A uniquely recorded “live remix”, as he calls it, that you won’t hear anywhere else. Zone in and travel safe!" - Don Pepe

Navigare 026 - Ishq

"You venture into the jungle, broken branches from the tread of footsteps. Whips of air from the vines where the spider monkeys jump. You continue without fear, the GPS coordinates were clear. Suddenly some fluorescent arrows. You pay attention, and listen. The whips of air now dream of beats; you see people in tantric being dancing incessantly. You have arrived."

Lopar (@lopar_music) began his career as a professional DJ in 2015 at Academia Decibel (Intelligent Division) in Medellin, Colombia. His sound ranges from the deepest to the most hypnotic and mental. Navigating different genres, Lopar always seeks to transport the listener to different moods and convey emotions through his music. His technique and selection have evolved over the years, leading to performances alongside renowned international artists.

HOCast #134 - Lopar

In the nineties a move to the UK came as a consequence of his studies and with him a pulsating eagerness which helped Lateral Movement to dive right into the local music culture, effervescent as ever. There he meandered effortlessly through genres, taking him deeper into the arts whilst aiding his curiosity, from free jazz to indietronica. Returning to his homeland, Portugal, subtracted him from this rich diversity and forced him to become a strong supporter of the alternative scenes, where he looked to push people and projects that shared his values and vision. There and then he decided to embark on a different kind of journey and took upon himself the responsibility of discovering new music and to share it with the community. To this day techno and its many guises are his passion, especially the deeper and hypnotic realms, where ambience and atmosphere play the main role.

He is an artist based in Stuttgart. Driven by his passion for music, who has evolved in the hypnotic ambient techno scene. 
His deep, organic and atmospherical sound identity was inspired by the classic genres and nature ambience and textures. As a huge supporter of the local culture scene, he also engages in different kinds of artistic creations and especially the connections between the different Arts.

CODECAST X - Nils Edte - Synthetic Rift

Dj and producer coming from top northern borders of the Czech Republic. Living in the forest where it's always raining. Transforming his life melancholy into sound-focusing mostly on deep music. Crossing boundaries between genres of techno, ambient, drone and halftime drum and bass.

Started with production in the early 2010s, highly influenced by the original sound of dubstep and uk garage. After a decade and a lot of singles and EP's released both digitally and physically across the platforms and labels worldwide. Comes the debut album Black Rainbow released on kletis's own imprint DOLEC. This album works as a compilation of various genres and different moods. Darkened half-tempos, steps, breakbeats, and even proper techno - packed with beautifully strange rhythmics and atmospheres.

Kletis is also a member of the Shotgun Festival crew, which organizes outdoor festival, warehouse and even club parties. As a Dj he focuses his selection on techno tools, melodic/hypno side of techno, industrial atmospheres and ambient tracks.

We really hope you enjoy the ride, put together by https://soundcloud.com/kletis.

CODECAST X - Kletis - Forbidden Memories

Who has seen the wind? 
Neither I nor you. 
But when the leaves hang trembling, 
The wind is passing through. 
Who has seen the wind? 
Neither you nor I. 
But when the trees bow down their heads, 
The wind is passing by.

(by Christina Georgina Rossetti)

For the fourth installment of our ‚Identity formation‘ podcast series, we are happy to present Mind over MIDI (@mind-over-midi-1). Hailing from Kristiansund on the northwest coast of Norway, Helge Tømmervåg has been crafting electronic sounds since the early '80s. His earliest work recorded under the now-familiar Mind over MIDI moniker arrived in the early '90s. He's released scores of highly regarded and stylistically uncompromising sounds over the years, appearing on labels including Silent Seasons, Diametric, Hibernate, Whitelabrecs, ROHS! Lontano Series, Shimmering Moods Records, Slow Tones Collages and via his own Berserk Fabrik.

His music can be described as sounds for daydreamers and nighthinkers. Inspired by the icy winds, snowy vistas and frozen landscapes in Norway.

If you can picture the very furthest, coldest, darkest part of Norway, that's where Mind over MIDI resides. If you want to get an idea of what it's like there, and can do without the frostbite, then this is the perfect solution.

If you want to learn more about the artist, please check out his links:

https://linktr.ee/mindovermidi

Also, we invite you to check out his new album 'Escapism' (CD ltd 50 • DL • stream), released on March 31.

We thank Mind over MIDI for contributing to our recently established platform, the wonderful mix and wish him the best for his further journey as an artist. If everything goes as planned, you can expect more from him on studio bb soon.

As always, if you like the podcast, please don’t forget to give it a Like, Comment and/or Repost, to support both our community and the artist. If you have questions regarding the mix, you’re always welcome to contact us. You can find the Tracklist enclosed.
