Constructions returns for the 60th instalment with an hour-long live sound performance from Japan's Muzan Editions label boss, Endurance.

"In the past few years, I have been lucky enough to open for a lot of techno parties in Japan, and this has had a big impact on my sound as a performer. My live sets used to lean more towards the prettier, new-age side of ambient, but as that doesn't particularly suit dark clubs in Osaka and Tokyo, I have tried to push my sound towards the more minimal and intense regions of ambient.

This is a set from a show I played in Osaka with Peter van Hoesen in November. I remember being terribly nervous while setting up my modular, as PvH was standing right behind me doing a soundcheck (I'm a big fan)! Nevertheless, I think the set went well, setting the tone for the party and the music to come. When I looked up towards the end, the dance floor was nearly full, and people were swaying back and forth with their eyes shut. As someone doing ambient, there's no clearer sign that you're doing something right than that."

Endurance is the ambient project of Osaka-based Joshua Stefane. Using modular synthesizers, field recordings, and cassette tapes, Endurance’s sound has become increasingly minimal and tonally-focused over the years, employing a minimum of elements to create a maximum of expressiveness. In addition to releasing from labels such as Constellation Tatsu and Mystery Circles, Endurance also curates the Japan-based tape label Muzan Editions.

He is part of the organizing team for Moment, a techno festival in Nara. As a live performer, he has appeared at numerous high-profile events such as Star Festival, Moment, and Rural, with an increasing emphasis on bringing deep ambient soundscapes to techno music parties.

It’s been a hot minute since our latest Podcast Series offering and we can’t be happier to celebrate the first glimpses of Spring with this patiently blossoming and deliciously crafted mix by our dear friend, the London-based DJ and producer ~ Samson A.K ✨

A resident at the Introspective Electronics' affiliated Terra Obscura events, Sam hosted a number of regular shows on Balamii and Noods, spinning left-field flavours of techno, bass, ambient and everything in between and inviting intriguing guests to contribute their take on oddball electronica spanning a refreshing variety of moods and weights. Sam is closing the upcoming Terra Obscura at Ormside Projects on 20th May alongside Cousin, The Outsert (live) and our own Avsluta on warm-up duties. This one is for all you London-dwelling lovers and dreamers 🧡

Now, position yourself comfortably and give your full attention to the soothing ambient plateaux spilling over into tender, dubbed out bass and deliciously juicy grooves of Samson A.K 💆🏼‍♀️

The latest chapter of our Podcast Series is a masterfully crafted haze, bass & glitch-heavy sonic adventure from the capable hands of one of our very dear friends ~ a devoted music journalist and DJ ~ Freddie Hudson aka FFFHHH ✨

Freddie is, without doubt, one of the most serious heads we know. Always on a hunt for fresh underground labels and artists, hungry for oddball sounds hiding in the more obscure corners of Bandcamp and beyond. An affiliate of Prague’s famous Noise Kitchen and former contributor at Inverted Audio, Freddie has recently taken off on a solo adventure with their regular music newsletter Reach. If you are not subscribed already, we highly recommend diving in. Link: https://reachsound.substack.com/

In this chapter, Freddie leads us from the realm of buoyant underground streams and insect-talk towards patient, softly glistening dub-wise grooves growing into electro-acoustic experiments. From here, the mix oozes into the zone of floaty bass music and ultimately winds back down to dreamy, tingly ambient 💆🏼‍♀️

DIRTY GLASSEZ, N95 - CLOUDTEK
https://fuselab.bandcamp.com/album/cloudtek

The debut co-op release by DIRTY GLASSEZ and N95 brings together the best of both worlds, combining a melancholic atmosphere with ghetto tech/footwork aesthetics.

CLOUDTEK reworks the aesthetics of the digital positivity and glossy futurism of the 2000s into a more mature, minor key form. Simple ringtone vaporwave melodies take on a thoughtful sound, shimmering in an ambient haze. Drums borrowed from ghetto genres add a special energy to the music.

At the intersection of two extremes — lively ghetto and airy futurism — cloudtek emerged, manifesting itself in a scattering of contradictory genres
