Last mix of the year is the nicely crafted atmospheric voyage recorded by Saphileaum at the in-store session, during the gathering for the launch of his EP called Kaftan, released on vinyl by Vodkast Records on 27.11.22, now available worldwide in various record shops.

Enjoy the mix and best wishes from Vodkast

With purest delight, I'm so excited to welcome Pjenné of Passing Notes Radio & Companion (@companionmelb) for the latest episode in our series. Penny's curatorial expertise and long-standing dedication to the Naarm/Melbourne scene have established her as a pillar of the city's sonic landscape, and both her love of musical discovery and unmistakable influence are felt deeply from afar. 

Pjenné's mix is a enchanting trip through fields of wonder, equal parts honey and gossamer, moving and blissfully sublime. Tender hues paint the air while fervent warmth fills the aching heart. There are few selectors out there with a repertoire as consistently profound as Penny's, and yet one feels we've barely scratched the surface of what's to come. Thank you Penny!

Orb Podcast 059: Al Wootton

"An invisible voice imparts its wisdom to me,  
Silently, I follow where it leads.  
The unseen voice teaches me creation,  
From nothingness, sun rays appear.  

I stand before a golden wall,  
Words are written in an ancient tongue.  
Soon, I will discover the old alphabet,  
Unravel its message, and understand its song."

- Saphileaum

Welcome to episode number 112 of Observatory by Sungate
Opening this edition, Aerae delivers a mix carved from deep, droning layers and cavernous resonance. Fresh from a recent release on Samurai Music, it’s an hour that feels subterranean and immersive, vast spaces where weight and motion coexist.
In the second hour, label co-founder Moysantana takes the reins with a set that is looping, trance-inducing, and lysergic in flow. Round, rattling grooves rise into towering structures, gradually unfolding into a hypnotic trip that bends perception while keeping the body in motion.

As summer's warmth dissolves into the autumn breeze and the silence of shorter days descends, we're honored to welcome BLNDR to the series, sharing a mix that's a sonic companion for the season's transition.

BLNDR is a French electronic music producer based in Paris.
Deep beats, percussions, and atmospheric elements have always been central to his sound. He took his first steps into electronic music with the release of his debut EP on Hypnus Records in 2014. 

~ Check out his recent release on Hypnus Records entitled "Radiolaria": https://hypnus.bandcamp.com/album/radiolaria ~

About the mix he said:
"This recording captures the essence of open-air ambient performances set amidst nature's splendor, where music seamlessly blends with the sounds of the wild – vaporous melodies entwining with the songs of cicadas and the gentle rustle of leaves in the breeze."

Welcome to episode number 113 of Observatory by Sungate
Atisbo traverses the temporal line with 60 minutes of halftime brilliance, slowly building intensity into full on neuro territory — this one is not for the faint hearted.
In the second hour, label co-founder Fran Domingo maintains things in the hardcore continuum, veering towards a classic liquid sound. Emanated bass pressure from a long, dark tunnel.

𝑷𝒓𝒆𝒎𝒊𝒆𝒓𝒆: Blossoms Overnight - Ryumara [GIFKIKKER011]

Introducing [GIFKIKKER011]. The debut of Blossoms Overnight, that sits you down in a euphoric, soft-tinted atmosphere from the get-go. While vibrant scapes get interwoven, accessed, or accompanied by smooth percussion, the listener is exposed to the act of exploring sounds underneath what’s already there.
Metaphorically, this album is cleansing, as foam gliding over a windshield in a brush-style carwash, resembling crashing sea waves as seen from underwater. It prescribes a mesmerizing softness and dense relaxation, while the mind and soul are carelessly taken on a sweet ride through dubby hypnoticness with breaky features.

Topping off this stellar release is a beautiful remix by a. brehme, aligning with the inner feel of the EP.

Produced by: Blossoms Overnight, a.brehme
Mastering: Stan Vuylsteke
