I am so grateful to share with you all today a very poignant and sacred entry in the Deep Mind Music series from Lou Drago. Lou has woven together a truly otherworldly psychedelic journey for the soul, a luminescent experience, a gently glowing hologram of emotion 💠

Lou Drago and I connected years ago when they asked me to make a mix for their TRANSIENCE series, which invites contributors to create a “temporary suspension of reality, where the listener can speculate on alternate futures free from all systems of oppression.” We found a synchronicity in the role ambient music has played in our lives, and how it opens portals to new imagined existences for us. Since then, I’ve had the joy of playing for Lou at infinity rug, the ambient-focussed event series they curate with Marum, where we have shared deep chats, silly giggles and shared philosophies (as well as ambient music ofc).

They have put a great deal of thought and care into this mix, which you can hear in the delicately programmed selections, the fluidity of the whole, and the full-being submersion into an emotional plane of existence. From the opening seconds of the mix, clarifying crystalline twinkles open the way, realigning our sense of being, and taking us into this subtle soundscape. This mix feels like a gently calming presence, like both a sigh, and a weight lifted from the shoulders.

As we sink into the mix, we evaporate into vaporous wisps of energy, as expansive washes of sound contrast with infinitesimal whirls and organic instrumentation. We are submerged into a panoramic dreamstate, morphing mystical landscapes expanding before us. Lou guides us through a misty forest teeming with life, droplets of water slipping off the end of intricate leaves around us.

In the final 30 minutes of the mix, I feel as if I am all the flickering stars in the night sky, as interplaying vibrational drones dissolve us into the depths. Lou then very gently lifts us from this state, the atoms of our being carefully reassembled, coming back to reality in a state of blissful harmony. I hope you find peace in this heart-opening trip 🤍🌌🤍

This release comes in the same week that I will be joining Lou as a guest of TRANSIENCE at WHOLE festival this weekend, where we will both be playing ambient sets in the early hours of Saturday. I am really looking forward to this occasion of continued sonic kinship between us, see you there if you are coming 💗

Beneath the light of the Blue Moon, in the heart of the quarry of Zmar, The Slow Brown Fox and Lizzie Urquhart weave a tale of Shadows Dream.

Sounds ebb and flow like the tides, whispering secrets, stirring something primal within. Rhythms pulse, steady and alive, echoing something ancient and unseen. Haunting melodies spiral through the sky, beckoning you deeper into the unknown, where the air thickens and shadows seem to breathe. Something shifts just beyond sight, waiting.
In this liminal space, where the veil is thin, shadows dream.

Lizzie Urquhart is a DJ, artist and co-founder of record label @somewherepress. She has honed her sound over a series of radio shows and guest mixes, characterised by a reflective nature. Her DJ sets take on a hypnotic EBM sound, a low-tempo pulse across pitched-down chuggers, polyrhythmic electronica and leftfield minimal wave - intertwining the dark, emotional and psychedelic into a meandering narrative, her mixes are designed for deep listening.

A fixture in Berlin's underground scene, she is a resident at Sameheads and the creative force behind the Psychedelic Meltdown project.

julo julo - sentiens mix (Avril 2025)

A mix from extended naff family members Command D and Peanut

In the words of Command D :

Carrying on from some legendary parties before it, the next generation of ravers held 'plur' true to it's og meaning. Young Harry (Peanut) and I had been mixing together and talking about tunes we loved for months leading up to the event. We played in the side room while the morning light slowly poured in, all the homies in the front and gun fingers to the back. Big party mode with some blissy ones, freedom while it lasted, and a fun one to listen back to. Big thanks to everyone who hosted and the dancers!

Recorded on Wangal land.

The next thing I knew, I was "exiting"
But it felt like my presence there had been a return
Without ever any away

Outside we had all already been 
Thrush eggs

Exits Exist

This track is for relaxed listening, headphones on eyes closed. I have used samplers, synths and field recordings in its production.
