Tokyo's @sapphire-slows has her own distinctive aesthetic. The music she makes is ghostly and delicate, eerie yet beautiful. The multi-talented artist plays her own synths and keys and layers her own beautiful vocal drones into her tracks to lend them extra intimacy. This of course means she has toured extensively and released on labels such as Japan's Big Love, Greece's Nous and LA's Not Not Fun/100% Silk. Despite often making and playing music with the brain cleansing purity demonstrated on 2017 album Time, Sapphire Slows can also do more caustic and mechanical sounds, as on 2014's Allegoria LP.

This week's mix explores a melancholic and introspective mood, but it is never dark. A range of mid-tempo rhythms set the tempo. Sometimes they're dubby and linear, at others more bubbling and off-grid, while the synths above glow like fireflies or glisten like knives in the sun. Organic bird calls float above hyper-real synthetic textures and the overall effect is to cocoon you in suspensory and meditative sound that feels out of this world.

Leave it up to https://soundcloud.com/lola-edobor to launch us into the weekend. As the co-founder and driving force behind Amsterdam’s iconic queer bar PAMELA, her contribution to the city’s vibrant nightlife goes beyond mixing tracks. Her sets are genre-spanning and adventurous and traverse techno, acid and electro house, African bass, breaks, and UK garage.

About her favorite track:
Beste Hira - Pool G
“Amazing melodic techno, Heard Beste Hira playing in De School and her whole set was this vibe. It was so hypnotizing and it really grabbed me.”

Suzan은 무수한 연결점들 속 소리와 박자들이 점점 쌓이기도 흩어지기도 하는 무한한 상상의 세계를 그린다. 빛과 어둠 속에서 결국 한 점으로 연결되어 이어지는 댄스 플로어를 꿈꾼다.

Suzan depicts an imaginary endless world where sounds and beats gradually accumulate and disperse in countless connected points. He dreams of a dancefloor where light and darkness eventually connect to our own point.

Short Attention Mix 046 By Tom Dicicco

Forget the club; enter the ceremony. Fértil Discos beckons you through a new portal, “Fértil Club,” a new series curated by DJ Nim through which the heartbeat of ancient South America meets the pulse of the future. The inaugural transmission arrives from Pawkarmayta, a solo project of Peruvian artist Anthony Paucarmayta. His album, “Aramu” (Serpent of the Andes), is a nine-track ceremonial voyage composed in C minor, a rich and expressive key known for creating music with a strong emotional impact, which can influence a listener's mood and state of mind. Crafted during the pandemic's silence, the work draws from Paucarmayta’s dedication to sound healing and his vast archive of Peru's auditory landscapes – forest winds, flowing water, and avian conversations collected over decades. Rooted in his classical training from Cusco, the music weaves ceremonial tradition with electronic minimalism, transforming field recordings into a potent medicine for the mind and a vessel for escape.

Premiered here, AWKA unfolds as a deep, percussive meditation anthem. A low, steady BPM anchors the atmosphere, over which soft, resonant vocal hooks emerge, enveloped by an ethereal, phantasmagoric layer of airy vocals that float like a spectral choir through the mix. The result is a profoundly hypnotic soundscape – a slow-burning fusion of rhythm and aura that feels both ancient and transcendent, embodying the album's ceremonial purpose through its serpentine, undulating flow.

You can find (and buy) this and other music pearls on the Bandcamp page of the label: https://fertildiscos.bandcamp.com/
