A track that didn't make the album 'Now is' but I like some moments in it, so wanted to share this demo. 

Enjoy!

All We Got SBTRKT REMIX

British-born nomad Matt Karmil never stays in one place too long, and that restless nature also defines much of his genre-hopping output. Fresh off the release of his largely ambient 'Will' album on Smalltown Supersound, Karmil has cued up a new, dancefloor-ready 'Sourced' EP for Aus Music. Ahead of its release on August 17, we debuted the emotive chords and shuffling groove of the record's title track on Red Bull Radio's First Floor, our weekly look at what's new in electronic music.

Sunday

After almost 24 hrs of continuous activity, the first 12 hrs working and rigging, the latter 12 hrs spinning records and partying, I came home from TotemTechno exhausted. Even so, I felt that I had a golden opportunity to make a mix in the spirit of the forest rave, and so I hooked up my decks, and made this mini mix of tracks that were blasted by yours truly only hours previous over a beautiful lake and into a magnificent forest in the the Stavanger- region. Hope you feel your totem going deep.

Losing My Mind

Berlin based composer and producer Ben Lukas Boysen has announced the release of his third album, the progressive and shape-shifting 'Mirage', on 1 May 2020. It follows 2013’s 'Gravity' and the acclaimed 2016 full length 'Spells', a record as much admired by his peers as it was loved by fans that not only yielded remixes from Max Cooper and Tim Hecker, but also opened Jon Hopkins’ Late Night Tales compilation.

Since the release of 'Spells', Ben collaborated with cellist and composer Sebastian Plano on the score for David OReilly’s landmark innovative video game 'Everything'. It was added to the long list for the Best Animated Short at the 90th Academy Awards, making it the first video game to qualify for an Oscar. 

As with 'Gravity' and 'Spells', Ben has an array of musical guests adorning Mirage, including long time collaborator, Berlin based cellist and composer Anne Müller as well as Australian saxophonist and composer Daniel Thorne — for whom Ben wrote parts specifically, having heard his 2019 solo debut 'Lines of Sight'. Lead track 'Medela' features both and takes the listener on a kaleidoscopic journey that slides with ease across sonic terrains.

While on 'Spells' Ben made programmed pieces sound indistinguishable from human playing, with 'Mirage' he set out to do the opposite and make the human touch unrecognisable, creating something of a mystery or a mirage.

“A lot of the elements and instruments you hear on the album are either not what you think they are, or exactly what you think they are but behave differently or they’re elements you definitely know but they are hidden, processed, or morphed into something else. With 'Spells' and 'Gravity' I was trying to hide the machines. On 'Mirage', I’m trying to hide the human” — Ben Lukas Boysen
