CTM 2024 – Sustain
RSO.Berlin

Like a blossoming mind-fungus, the microtextual world of upsammy hums with the uncanny seepage of the organic. Effortlessly blending translucent tones and funky rhythms, the Amsterdam artist creates a natural groove that flows through different speeds of spatial vibes and dreamy soundscapes. Collaborating with visual artist Jonathan Castro in many of her live shows, they craft psyched-out landscapes, playing with contradictions of comfort and solitude. These are beautiful companion pieces to her ephemerally-hitting DJ sets, drawing from trippy experimental DnB and offbeat techno.

Grid with Emily Jeanne - 1er Mai 2024

It’s Silverstone weekend baby! A race that we absolutely couldn’t miss in our calendar. 🏁

Things are getting real juicy with Lando Norris and Max Verstappen continuing to go head-to-head for the top spot. It’s nice to see Max finally feeling the pressure again but it’s looking like a friendship may be heading down the drain as his signature bullish race behaviour is back with Lando as his target which left us screaming at the TV (or at the track like Patricia was) last weekend. This is not helped by the media stirring the pot during the post-race interviews - are they hired by Drive To Survive? Let’s see if this friendship lasts the season. Due to this rivalry, George Russell ended up in the winning seat at Austria and we finally got to see a happy Toto Wolff. Estie Bestie is continuing his chaotic ways - may be worse now he doesn’t have a seat for next year - things are not looking good. Charles Leclerc is back in the stress zone. Lewis Hamilton finally got his first podium of the season at Barcelona. Ollie Bearman has just been confirmed for a F1 seat next year at Haas - we’re very excited to have some fresh faces on the grid. Let’s hope the car holds out for him. Carlos Sainz is straight chilling with no rush to announce his plans for 2025. 

Taking the wheel for the Silverstone race we have Glasgow-based DJ, producer and Redstone Press label founder Lewis Lowe. Looking to the past, Lewis sets his sights on the 1999/2000 season, his favourite era of F1 when Ferrari went from not winning a championship to dominating the sport via Schumacher. The mix is filled with the raw energy that season had to offer. 

The home of British motorsport, Silverstone hosted the first World Championship race since 1950 and has since staged the British Grand Prix more than 50 times. It’s one of only four Grand Prix from the first year of the World Championship to remain a part of today’s F1 calendar (the others being Monaco, Spa and Monza). Lewis Hamilton currently holds the most pole positions (7) and most wins (8) - in 2020 Lewis won the race with only three fully inflated tyres. There is yet to be a British Grand Prix at Silverstone in which all of the top three on the grid finish the race in the same order as they started. And some of the most iconic images in F1 were produced at the conclusion of the 1991 British Grand Prix. Ayrton Senna had run out of fuel at the end of the race and was stranded on the circuit as a result. Race winner Nigel Mansell stopped for the Brazilian and gave him a lift back to the pits on the side of his Williams car.

Sobolik (they/them)

Sobolik is a Queens, NY producer and DJ who's turned heads over the past several years with futuristic club cuts on labels like All Centre, Kindergarten, 3024, early reflex, and CloudCore. These tracks have been supported by DJs across scene and genre boundaries—modern techno shredders like VTSS and CEM, hyper-club divas like Morenxx and Ariel Zetina, colorful percussion wizards like CCL and Rroxymore, and UK bass stalwarts like Lee Gamble and Anz alike have shared Sobolik's work at parties around the globe. Sobolik's world is filled with color and hyperkinetic energy—not fitting in one box, their output reacts to a broad palette of styles within both North American and UK club music. As a member of the Antidote and Kindergarten collectives, they work to connect these dots among likeminded artists in the Brooklyn rave ecosystem. They currently hold a Lot Radio residency with the Kindergarten crew and co-organize Antidote, a queer day rave whose previous bookings include DJ Voices, Russell E.L. Butler, Sister Zo, and Ron Like Hell.

Notes on the Mix ///

"This mix was improvised in a single take from my new bedroom in Ridgewood. It starts neat and tidy and steadily unspools until a critical moment breaks the sound apart completely. It cuts through many compatible styles; elements of rolling dubstep, old-school techno, jazzy broken beat, smoked-out tech house, and modern perc steppers enter the fray...... until the cool rolling mood gives way for something more indefinable. Many thanks to georg-i for sending me an unreleased showstopper that provided the final climax :)"

XOXA BLEND 213 - SOBOLIK

July, July, July; we're sweating, we're dancing, we're going deep. 

The twelfth installment of Radio Samt rounds out our first whole year of guest mixes. I'd like to thank everyone for their contributions from every community and across every genre gap, and I mean honestly across creative universes entirely.

NYC is no stranger to alternative dance spaces however there are few quite like the one that DJ concon has been working on this year. "dance practice" is almost a dance class, almost a club moment, almost a meditation, a chance for people to set some intention with their moving+listening experience.

----

'dance practice' explores the therapeutic role of the dancefloor through 90 minutes of sound-driven free movement in a stunning Bushwick loft turned dance studio.

Ambient sounds turn slinky and loose, warming into heavy rhythms and finally melting into a sound bath. In the tradition of ecstatic dance, each set explores mood, texture and tempo, as dancers engage with a range of feeling and movement.

This mix is a showcase for the incredible spectrum of NY-based artists making music right now. Please reach out if you'd like to participate!

The next dance practice is Tuesday, July 30th 8-9:30pm

Radio Samt [12] - concon - "dance practice"

"The first time I heard a Moog, it blew my mind." The esteemed neoclassical composer talks about his long standing love of synthesisers and his forthcoming album, In A Landscape.

German-born British composer Max Richter has led the vanguard for post-minimalist classical music. His work has soundtracked major film and TV, ballets, runway shows and exhibitions globally. He also gained recognition for Sleep—an eight-and-a-half-hour-long concept album written around the neuroscience of the sleeping brain—which he's performed regularly to crowds of sleeping people, including at Berlin venue Kraftwerk.

While Richter has garnered widespread acclaim for his classical compositions, his original source of inspiration was electronic music. In this Exchange, recorded at his home and studio in Oxford, England, he recalled discovering Kraftwerk while watching a travel show as a teenager. He quickly began designing and building his own synthesisers after that, enamoured by the sound of the filter on the Moog, which remains one of his favourite instruments and go-to tools. 

Richter, who went through rigorous classical training, rejected the genre's orthodoxy, inaccessibility and view of the "composer as master." His work challenges the conventions around this school of music, appealing to a broader audience through his deconstructed compositional style, which he continues to explore in his forthcoming album, In A Landscape, out on September 6th. Listen to the episode in full.
