Passarella Death Squad - Anthem / Just Like Sleep 
Available to buy here - 
https://passarellarecords.bandcamp.com/album/anthem-just-like-sleep

Released February 2014 on Days Of Being Wild Recordings, this double A side release commences with “Anthem” - more tales from the dark side of dance music and electronica. Haunting loops of synth combined with uplifting stabs of traversing echoes creating depth and despair, with light over the lunar horizon. 

Then to "Just Like Sleep" - relentless, repetitive and crafted for the basement of "Silencio" in Paris, where at 6am, everything and everybody changes. 'Just like sleep' went on to be featured on the award winning Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice soundtrack.

Just Like Sleep

A one-hour selection by @nicolas-jaar aired first on May 15th, 2021 as part of the Sonic Liberation Front on @radioalhara, an initiative for Palestine by a group of audio platforms and sound artists who came together to unify their sound for Palestine and protest against the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people.

"Hello,
 
Thank you for inviting me to be here today. 

These are difficult days and it is difficult to express the feelings that I have inside. 

We have seen the horrors of Israeli occupation. We have seen the hypocrisy of the European and American media. We have heard the silence of our peers. And we have felt the screams inside Al Aqsa, in Sheikh Jarrah, in Gaza, in Haifa, in Jaffa, in Lydda. But this is only news to those who don't know. 
In reality, this is nothing new. 

The past 2 weeks have been a microcosm for the past 20 years, the past 40 years years, the past 70 years. 

The Israeli government is a racist settler colonial project committed to the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people. The legacies of systemic violence, racism and dispossession shaped by colonialism must stop. 

Today this means standing up and signaling clearly our support, our solidarity and our love for Palestine. Complicity with Israeli war crimes is found in silence and we cannot tolerate silence. 

As I speak something else is happening in another part of the world that is also very close to my heart. Chileans are right now electing  155 citizens who will write a new constitution for the country. It will replace the constitution that has been in place since the years of the military dictatorship. This constitution will be the first anywhere in the world to be written by an equal number of men and women. The only reason this moment of hope is possible in Chile is because of the incredible social movements that rose up to tell truth to power, to tell the story of life in the face of death. 
The courage and determination of Chilean activists, writers, artists has been astounding. I am sure many of them are inspired and influenced by the courage of Palestinians living under occupation. 

These social movements are creating change, and the forces of Empire are having a difficult time trying to control this change. When we see Israel bombing the tower that houses AP and Al Jazeera in Gaza, we understand that this war is being waged on multiple fronts. Journalism is one of them. Art and music is also one. 

So thank you for this initiative Radio Alhara and Recordat. 

This mix is different from any mix I've ever played. 

I'm gonna play a mix I made for myself, never meant to be shared. It's the music I play to feel better, in some ways it's my own kind of therapy, it gives me hope that life can always shine in the dark."

-- Nicolás Jaar

OP 𓅛 mix 7 - Nicolas Jaar - Our World (2013)

🌊 Underwater Peruvian Coast
by Aton & the Resonants
(Official Album Presentation – English)

From the depths of the Pacific mists, a new sonic vessel emerges:
Underwater Peruvian Coast.

This is not a collection of songs.
It is a breathing ritual — a submerged memory woven in pulse, mist, and ancestral vibration.

Each track carries the breath of the sea meeting the Andes.
Each bass line exhales like the landó rhythms lost in the ocean fog.
Each percussion hit is not meant for dancing — but for remembering.

Born in the E minor resonance, infused with Afro-Peruvian ghosts, and textured by the underwater trip-hop spirit, this album invites the body not to move outwardly, but to move inward.
To breathe with hips.
To listen through the skin.
To awaken memory not as nostalgia — but as vibration.

You will hear no sharpness here.
Only warm bass, seeds of percussion, wind carrying forgotten songs, and a heartbeat submerged in the mist.

Grooves evolve like underwater currents — unseen but undeniable.
Textures whisper like ancient water spirits — real but ungraspable.

Each beat is a threshold.
Each silence, a tide.
Each bass pulse, a whisper from deep earth and deeper waters.

Underwater Peruvian Coast is not a soundtrack for the surface world.
It is a portal for those who still feel the tides inside their ribs.

It was designed for twilight listening.
For barefoot breathing.
For bodies who still remember that water and earth are not separate things — but phases of the same dreaming.

Let yourself drift without needing to swim.
Let yourself breathe without needing to rush.

This is an offering.
A ritual.
A slow remembering.

Created and channeled with reverence by:
Aton & the Resonants
under the pulse of Enano Bendito Records.

🌀 Activation Phrase:
"The body is dreaming water.
The mist sings to me.
I float in the rhythm of the submerged earth."

🌊 Underwater Peruvian Coast
por Aton & the Resonants
(Presentación Oficial del Álbum – Español)

Desde las profundidades de la niebla pacífica, emerge un nuevo navío sonoro:
Underwater Peruvian Coast.

Esto no es una colección de canciones.
Es un ritual que respira — una memoria sumergida entre pulso, bruma y vibración ancestral.

Cada track lleva el aliento del mar encontrándose con los Andes.
Cada línea de bajo exhala como ritmos de landó perdidos en la niebla oceánica.
Cada golpe de percusión no busca hacerte bailar — sino recordarte.

Nacido en la resonancia de Mi menor, impregnado de ecos afroperuanos y texturizado por el espíritu del underwater trip-hop, este álbum invita al cuerpo no a moverse hacia afuera, sino hacia adentro.
A respirar con las caderas.
A escuchar a través de la piel.
A despertar la memoria no como nostalgia — sino como vibración viva.

Aquí no encontrarás asperezas.
Sólo graves cálidos, semillas de percusión, vientos que cargan canciones olvidadas, y un latido sumergido en la bruma.

Los grooves evolucionan como corrientes submarinas — invisibles pero innegables.
Las texturas susurran como espíritus acuáticos ancestrales — reales aunque inatrapables.

Cada golpe es un umbral.
Cada silencio, una marea.
Cada pulso de bajo, un susurro de la tierra profunda y de aguas aún más profundas.

Underwater Peruvian Coast no es una banda sonora para el mundo superficial.
Es un portal para quienes aún sienten las mareas latiendo dentro de sus costillas.

Diseñado para escucharse al anochecer.
Para respirar descalzo.
Para cuerpos que recuerdan que el agua y la tierra no son cosas separadas, sino fases de un mismo sueño.

Déjate llevar sin necesidad de nadar.
Déjate respirar sin necesidad de apurarte.

Esto es una ofrenda.
Un ritual.
Un lento recordar.

Creado y canalizado con reverencia por:
Aton & the Resonants
bajo el pulso de Enano Bendito Records.

🌀 Frase de activación:
"El cuerpo es agua que sueña.
La niebla me canta.
Floto en el ritmo de la tierra sumergida."

Boiler Room presents ‘TRANSITION' - a singular visual experience by the visionary Chilean-American artist and the world's leading underground music channel.

From its very first enigmatic scene to the unmissable ending, ‘TRANSITION' is an unscripted POV journey into one night in NY at a transitional time in America.

I Know What U Did (Nymphs V)
American Dream Radio (Network #156)
A Coin In Nine Hands (Nymphs VI)
