I am super excited to present the next @deepmindmusic_ mix, a special edition crafted by Australia's @pjenne. A DJ with an intuitive ear, Pjenné's mixes have always made a deep impression on me, through her thoughtful track selection, immersive world-building and clear narrative arcs – and her mix for Deep Mind Music is no different 🤍

I experienced this mix as one fluid motion: through the course of an hour we billow outwards, and drift inwards, in pulsating undulations. As the rolling waves of circular rhythms, dub techno and fluttering wisps floated through me, I felt as if I had become one with a towering cumulonimbus, expanding and contracting as I drifted across a pristine sky ☁️🦋💠

Pjenné has managed to strike a subtle balance between quiet softness and infinite depth in this beautiful and evocative journey, taking us deep into the beyond. The mix ends with an ascension to a bright and delicate twinkling, like a sparkling sunset on the sea, and we're left feeling warm, pensive and peaceful 🔆🌥️🕊️

Some words from Pjenné about the mix: 

I was inspired by a sound I used to be particularly into during my formative years – I remember buying the Deepchord Silent World double LP at Spacehall in Berlin during my first overseas trip. It was long, long before I was a DJ, and I was too scared to play any records in-store, as I didn't really know how turntables worked, and had no idea how record stores functioned. Although I bagged that winner of a record (which I still own and play today a decade later) I also remember accidentally buying some sampling records that I had absolutely no use for... Can't say it was the most inviting place back then...

Anyway, although the mix was inspired by that sound, it ended up completely different during the process of putting it together. Of course, I had to weave in some form of uplifting resolve by the end.

Music For Whales - KMRU

One hundred & thirteen brings Italian born, Berlin based Notte Infinita to the series. A mesmerising bass driven journey.  The euphoric, rolling mix of deep techno, bass & beyond is reminiscent of Notte Infinita's impressive productions. Having released music via  @oscilla-sound & @indexrecords, he explores space & rhythm through a psychedelic blend of deep, bassy sounds.

So happy to have him as part of the series -- thanks Giovanni :)

Animix One Hundred & Thirteen: Notte Infinita

Joseph Kamaru, aka KMRU (@kamarujoseph), is a sound artist and experimental ambient musician, raised in Nairobi, Kenya, and currently based in Berlin. Recent years have seen KMRU find a place amongst the most stirring voices within the experimental music space, courtesy of his distinctive usage and combination of field recordings, noise, ambient textures and expansive hypnotic drones. 
A luminous presence within the scene, KMRU has garnered critical acclaim not only for releases on the likes of @warp-records, @editionsmego and @subtext-recordings, but also for his live performances, which have seen him take the stage at high-profile events across Europe and the globe.

KMRU’s Patterns of Perception 105 is a poised and evocative passage which floats gracefully between delicate instrumentation, melodic phrasing and abstract ambient textures. Sparked by recent inspirations and experiences, this indelible set embraces peace, stillness and vibrance in equal measure, coming together as a carefully divined tapestry - meditative and shimmering.

Patterns of Perception 105 - KMRU

Katatonic Silentio embarks on a tripped out crawl through "a combination of shadowy, ethereal and intricate ambiences," a glimpse of the sounds and textures she draws from for her latest album, Les Chemins De L'inconnu.

Fact Mix 894: Katatonic Silentio (Feb '23)

Interview: https://www.lowendtheorists.com/theory-therapy-mixes/50-kmru

Music for train journeys, scored by KMRU.

Therapy Therapy 50 was recorded on a train from Basel to Berlin by one of our all-time favourite artists, Joseph Kamaru aka KMRU. 

Theory Therapy listeners will most likely be very familiar with the Berlin-based producer’s extensive and lauded catalogue already. The Nairobi sound artist has been pivotal in broadening ambient music’s terrain over the last few years, both in the way it is produced and what it can be (for one thing, that it should never be reduced to a single sound or concept; great ambient is many, often contradictory, things all at once.)

His mix contains all of the hallmarks that make his music so engaging. It’s a masterclass in tone and texture, delicately moving between a kaleidoscope of sounds by some of electronic music’s most interesting creators — a fitting way to celebrate the 50th episode in the series. Thank you Joseph for this mix.

an hour and half of deeply moving, wildly tender mix by @syberkid :')

o: how have you been sleeping lately?
s: unpredictably. sometimes i sleep and wake up with the hazy memory of a glorious adventure, other days I wake with the horror of a nightmare clinging to my subconscious, and sometimes I can’t sleep at all...

o: are you a daydreamer or night swimmer?
s: always both ~ swimming in the daydreams, dreaming in the night swims.

o: where do you go to dream?
s: music is my portal to the dreamland. drone for the deepest cerebral dissolution into the realm of the imagination, something more energetic or colourful if I want to fly through the sky.

o: what was the last thing you heard that moved you?
s: the rustling leaves of trees in the wind, and birds calling to each other on a walk this morning.

o: have you ever cried on the dance floor?
s: yes, though not often, I’m more of “cry on the inside” dancer. 
though, the first time i remember actually crying on the dance floor was the first time i heard claro intelecto’s ‘peace of mind’ in 2013 i think… it was in my head for weeks afterwards https://youtu.be/m0-iideGM_k

o: where did you record this mix? 
s: in my living room, with my favourite cedar incense burning (i burn this every time I record a mix, a little ritual which always brings me to the right zone).

o: what drew you to the sounds?
s: you my bb <3 
this mix is my interpretation of all our beautiful sobcore listening sessions in your room after nights out, our shared love of soft emotional music, and how that translates into my sound. it’s sobcore x deep mind music, a journey for deep feelings, philosophical chats, cosy cuddles and imaginal drifting ~

o: what are you looking forward to the most this year?
s: i am most excited for the summer months to finally arrive, so I can once again frolic with friends in nature, listening to music outside 🤸🌲🌞

Producer, DJ, promoter, and @soundsofvala label head, @soundsofkaspiann's work straddles a range of paces and moods, always with an eye toward the innovative. With a lower-tempo release due early next year on an undisclosed label, Kaspiann's more recent sonic explorations wade into swampy techno with psychedelic inflections.

In Patterns of Perception 117, Kaspiann pulls you into the flow through these murky sounds that dips and stomps along, with a selection of unreleased tracks from both his and his friends' studios, along with a handful of carefully unearthed gems.

Patterns of Perception 117 - Kaspiann

Known for her hypnotic dives to the psychedelic reaches of deep techno, London-based @freyacaldwell signature style emphasises meticulous sound design and the incorporation of lush and evocative textures. 

Having graced the stages of renowned venues and festivals throughout Europe, she has appeared at prestigious locations such as Amsterdam's De School, the Positive Education Festival, and London's own Village Underground.

Faery's Patterns of Perception 118 circles around echoes, resonances and hauntings, shifting between shadowy low-ends and moments of ecstatic crescendo. Encapsulating the tension and drama held in dnb's darker edges, the mix also weaves in touches of eerie contemporary classical-esque ambient.

Patterns of Perception 118 - Faery

Hailing from Amsterdam and with De School as his homebase, @nawazworldwide’s sound is always evolving, sliding deftly from wormhole techno to fast rhythms and glitchy electronics.

His selections on this Patterns of Perception 119 melt together while also reinforcing each other, each transition subtler than the last, sometimes even employing his own tailor-made tools and tracks for the purpose.

Beginning from a visual image, this mix blends diverse rhythms and atmospheres, offering a story line from which the listener can create their own narrative, their own image, free of imposition.

Patterns of Perception 119 - Nawaz

Marking the culmination of 2023, our final mix features the debut release from one of our own, @zilkamarie. As the driving force behind comms within our collective, Zilka's music inspiration is drawn from the diverse array of artists she collaborates with.

Recorded live at Jacopo (@severja) and Fred’s (@fred-czital) Hitze party back in July, the set follows on from a daytime open air while also opening the after party. Progressing from wet, spacious ambient sounds to dubby, irresistible beats, Patterns of Perception 120 captures and plays with quintessential afterhours vibes.

Patterns of Perception 120 - Zilka

Hailing from Germany and now based in Portugal, @vril_01 has in recent years been quietly producing and performing some truly extraordinary electronic music. Going from strength to strength, he takes dancefloors on vivid, compelling journeys across Europe and beyond.

Patterns of Perception 121 takes us back to a very special live ambient set .VRIL performed at @nachtdigital MINT 2019, an immersive hour of lucid textures and swelling intensity.

Big thanks to @sentientechno for making this happen with us.

Patterns of Perception 121 - .VRIL

Visionary electronic music.
