CELLAR DOOR // PODCAST #104
https://soundcloud.com/utopian_dj

Utopian is bringing a bloomy selection of left field sounds, stiching them together to come up with an eclectic journey. 

ARTIST'S BIO:
"Utopian is Isidro Bolívar’s moniker. He was born in the south of Spain and from an early age he always had a soft spot for introspective music, no matter if it was floor-oriented or home-listening. As a Dj he takes hypnotism as the foundations of his craft, although, his sets can take many shapes, tribal, deep, minimal or melodic depending on the mood.
A few years ago, he discovered a new wave of Italian techno musicians like Donato Dozzy and especially Marco Shuttle which was a life-changing moment for him. This would define his technique, dj skills and mindset. Focusing on a more progressive based built up and smooth transitions. Musically speaking Utopian keeps an open eye on new releases but also on old hidden gems and will play them within the same set as long as the music pairs harmonically and respect the timeless quality of techno aesthetics.
He played a few gigs at Alpenglühen, a notorious forward-thinking techno night run by the internationally respected F-ON in Madrid. 
He closing set at Calma festival (Madrid) this time with a more tribal-ambient approach to a crowd sitting and completely immersed in music. More  recently he played at perpendicular fest and the mythical club of southern Spain industrial copera.
Apart from being a Dj, Isidro was an active promoter while living in Madrid. Confessed digger and record collector and currently experimenting with music in the studio. He also recently created a space for local artists to express themselves by performing through ambient and immersive techno streaming sessions, his name is "espacio ingrávido".
Utopian was asked to play several guests mix for international big names like Campfire (Silent Season), Oslated or Monument. 
He currently lives in Granada, in the south of Spain. There he has formed a collective with his partners and friends Fran Acosta and Kaizen (Antonio Moreno), their name is Klub Collective, and they have invited great national and international artists such as Acronym, Estrato Aurora or Cobahn"

#104-UTOPIAN

Mown @ Art bei ton 17/03/23 - Suicide Circus(First half)

Looking to create warm and energetic atmospheres, @toe_music likes to make you travel into a psychedelic world where music becomes a spirit of its own. She is the mother of the music and visual arts projects @ouroboros-crew and @ewo_collectif.

For this episode, she took inspiration from the Yacurunas, a mythological aquatic people of the Amazon basin living in beautiful underwater cities. The Yacurunas, found primarily in the oral traditions of indigenous tribes, are said to take many different forms, from hairy humans with an upturned head and deformed feet, to the famous Amazonian pink dolphins ... They are usually described as being shapeshifters, capable of taking human form to lure their victims into their clutches, be they fishermen, husbands, or young women... 
Despite the kidnappings, the Yacurunas are generally not considered to be evil. They are incredibly talented healers, and shamans often consult them for advice and remedies.

Chapter I

Passing by the river, you can hear some strange voices. They are appealing. Your fear is overtaken by curiosity. You remember you heard stories about this legend of the people of water, they are spirits protecting the water, they don’t like humans, you know they drown them into the depths of the water. But you can’t stop and you are walking toward these voices. and the more you approach the less you can hear them, maybe the voices are too deep into the water. So you wait patiently. And the more you look at the surface of the river, the more you are absorbed by it. Now your mind is completely hypnotized. You can see them, these beautiful and scary creatures, the Yacurunas, and you fall into the depths of the river.

Chapter II

Now that you are with them, there is no way out. Just accept and your body starts to move, turning into a watery dance. You realize that you can be part of them, just by letting go. They are accepting you the more you accept them, they teach you how to just go with the flow. Feel the vibrations of the water but also of the whole life who started from this world. You can now come back, they are allowing you to return to the human world. And from this moment, you will always remember that the source of life is the water.

Artist: Attention. Here & Now. [France]
Format: Digital
Release Date: May 15th 2023

. AH&N - Contained Singularity

AH&N is an a anonymous artist from France driven by curiosity and a quest to develop his musical instinct.

Incorporating both analog gear, digital synths, and field recordings, AH&N tries to build an expanding sonic universe and craft tracks that blend the frontier between organic and synthetic soundscapes.

His creative process relies mainly on playful experimentation with sound sources and effects until a particular texture catches his attention. He then looks to help that musical idea unfold naturally, as if it spontaniously called for other elements to complement it, while doing his best to prevent his overthinking tendencies from having a say. He feels this intuition-based approach relies on the time he spends nurturing his musical curiosity, and he is deeply grateful for the many boundary-pushing artists that inspire him by constantly offering new variations of established concepts.

He is interested in the meditative dimension of repetitive and textured music, as well as in the collective hysteria that can arise during trance-inducing musical journeys. He believes carefully crafted music can help listeners establish a deep connection with the present moment, and guide people in learning to let go and find inner peace. An ethos reflected in his artist name, "Attention. Here & Now.", a reference to writer Aldoux Huxley.

The album is centered on an imaginary ritual of inward exploration, meant to uncover buried facets of our psyche. Through a solitary ceremony, it reveals our disconnection from ourselves and encourages us to surrender to our shadows, so as to, hopefully, get one step closer to stillness.

It begins with a gentle invitation to enter our unconscious, using a language of sound that echoes a long-forgotten collective memory. As the tracks progress, the ritual brings us to deeper layers of our minds. Soundscapes morph and seem increasingly alien, the frontier between known and unknown becomes blurred, while ultimately we are simply brought to face a reflection of our inner selves.

03 Surface Tension
04 Raflo Ren
05 Mountain House Music
06 Crocus Blues
07 Meripulus
08 Inparke
09 Beautiful Brook

11 Wevok (Aspetuck Remix)

Following three noteworthy appearances on compilations by On Board Music, Huinali Recordings, and Lost in Translation, New York-based duo Moon Patrol introduces their first long-player, “Mountain House Music.”

Moon Patrol consists of Irina Kotik and Gilles Wasserman, mainly known as co-founders of deep techno and ambient platform Delayed. Irina, a classically trained musician, contributed the melodic parts, and Gilles has been leading the rhythm section of the productions - an excellent symbiosis with meaningful output. A symbiosis whose soundscapes are an ode to the beauty of transitionary states and reflective exploration. “Surface Tension” and “Raflo Ren” grasp the fresh and misty air, with mountains slowly appearing through the morning fog, accompanied by wooden percussive beats. Likewise, the title track, “Mountain House Music” seems to be devoted to the passage from a dreamy, meditative state into an active physical space.
Throughout the ten tracks, we can hear the couple’s harmonious relationship with nature - may it be Prospect Park as their Brooklyn refuge or mountain retreats in upstate NY and Vermont - both spaces and the moods induced by them make an appearance through carefully selected and arranged field recordings (“Inparké” and “Beautiful Brook”). Moon Patrol, though having produced together since 2017 already, took their time to craft their own way of musically syncing and connecting with like-minded artists, such as Dutch producer Love Over Entropy, who took care of mixing the album.

Friends play a significant role in Moon Patrol’s symbiotic ecosystem and that’s why close friend Aspetuck contributed a breezy - grooving remix of “Wevok” - closing the LP with an uplifting, life-affirming note that teases to dance.
“Mountain House Music” was produced in the spring of 2022 while processing a loss in the family. It hence addresses symbiotic relationships and how our interdepence with nature and friends serves both as inspiration and refuge. Though naming their primary inspirations as Boards of Canada, Lord Of The Isles, Ripperton, and Khotin, Moon Patrol found their own very reflective, niche sound in the atmospheric down-tempo realms. A sound that is distinctively organic, immersed in exhilarating exploration, and full of airy breaks.

𝐏𝐑𝐄𝐌𝐈𝐄𝐑𝐄 : Ver - Dasyatis (Submerged)[Indefinite Pitch]

The South Korean imprint Oslated is about to release an extended (21-track) various artists compilation divided into two parts named "Faithful Present." The compilation features an array of talented producers from the Far East and talent worldwide and explores different corners of techno. The first part is scheduled for release on September 29, and we are happy to premiere the track from our dear friend F-on.

This Madrid-based artist skillfully crafts an atmospheric, experimental techno piece that evokes vivid imagery. From the moment the track kicks in, you're immediately transported to a haunting landscape – imagine a locomotive powering through a dense, fog-shrouded forest. The industrial, metallic pads that permeate the composition add a unique texture reminiscent of icicles hanging from snow-laden pine trees along the railroad. F-on's ability to paint such a vivid and unsettling sonic picture is commendable, making "Apiretal" one of the highlights of the compilation.

 "Faithful Present" Part I is coming out on September 29
