Deep Breakfast 189 - Patrick Russell

Welcome.

We are honoured to be opening the series with a gorgeously arranged mix by Sydney-based artist and mastering engineer, Marcus Miller, aka OVRSCN.

A mix compiled entirely of Australian-based artists, Marcus notes: "It's likely that many of these artists do not know each other personally, so it's interesting to think that there isn't really an ambient "scene" in Australia. But yet, there is still some similarity to our output.”

Thank you for beginning this journey with us, Marcus.

The Observatory - OVRSCN

"Pure happiness in a club full to the brim. Everyone is committed, bearing the pulse in unison. Caught inside the cave where no one wants to leave, where everyone wants to enter. Thank you for these moments of disconnection, of not thinking about anything but the music, and of transforming it into positive energy. Welcome to HOC 03."

A self-described "record digging psychopath," Eric Cloutier’s (@cloutier) standards are representative of the pre-social media craze and arguably the old adage of letting music speak for itself. Cloutier’s twenty-plus year commitment has been built upon his integrity as a DJ and authority as a selector. His reputation as an unequivocal, dexterous force is increasingly becoming one of note. He’s a DJ for whom quality - above all else - is the watchword. In addition, he is also the owner of the Palinoia record label (https://palinoiarecords.bandcamp.com).

HOCast #136 - Eric Cloutier

Thrilled to host one of my current favourites & major inspirations, the insanely talented @polygonia for number #120. An ever-impressive force,  Polygonia known for her driving, organic & eclectic productions & beautifully deep, percussive dj style.

I was lucky enough to see Linni play live at Monument festival in Norway last year and was blown away.. her ability to seamlessly fuse psychedelic melodies, driving basslines & unique percussive rifts, all in a somehow soothing yet driving manner, is truely a work of art. 

Thanks so much for the mix Linni! <3

Horse Meat Disco - 19 February 2023

With purest delight, I'm so excited to welcome Pjenné of Passing Notes Radio & Companion (@companionmelb) for the latest episode in our series. Penny's curatorial expertise and long-standing dedication to the Naarm/Melbourne scene have established her as a pillar of the city's sonic landscape, and both her love of musical discovery and unmistakable influence are felt deeply from afar. 

Pjenné's mix is a enchanting trip through fields of wonder, equal parts honey and gossamer, moving and blissfully sublime. Tender hues paint the air while fervent warmth fills the aching heart. There are few selectors out there with a repertoire as consistently profound as Penny's, and yet one feels we've barely scratched the surface of what's to come. Thank you Penny!

@izzycamina is soundtracking the end times with unstoppable techno-pop

"Motivated by both a deep love - and repugnance - of NYC’s post-pandemic scene, I still feel like there are some sonic and emotional voids in the city that need plumbing. I idealise the atmosphere of New York City’s ‘80s clubbing golden age. All you need to do is watch footage of the way people moved their bodies at these parties to understand. If I was throwing a house party, this is what you'd hear - a set doused in my own personal taste and bias. As another young person raised on shuffle, this comes with a degree of chaos and inconsistency, like the track selection. With our collectively shortened attention spans, however, I don’t see that as a bad thing (as much as I like going zombie mode and vegging out to the same kick pattern for hours on end).

This mix is actually.. mixed. Intro’d with a playful Sextile remix and punctuated with two emotional and personal heavy-hitters - ‘Adjacent Casualty’ by Kumo99 and ‘I Am Not a Casualty’ by Louisahh and Maelstrom. Keyword: Casualty. I’m not afraid to drop some cringe or profundity or poetry. Maybe a song here and there that isn’t electronic at all. Dancing and clubbing, to me, is sacred catharsis. I want to tailor an atmosphere for people who desire the same release."

Tribute to Speedy J // Quantum Collapse Ambient IDM Studio Mix

@israel-vines is an esteemed DJ and producer with a career spanning nearly three decades. After spending his formative years in the musically fertile American Midwest during the mid-nineties, Vines settled in LA where his distinctive vision has continued to take shape. Channeling both the rebelliousness of early techno, punk & hip-hop and the sleek futurism of the modern electronic music soundscape, Vines' sound is uncompromising and sophisticated all at once. 

Appearances at key venues across the US and Europe, alongside releases on @tresorberlin and @ithqdetroit sub-label Eye Teeth have seen Vines further hone his adventurous, off-kilter and impeccably refined sensibilities.

Fluttering between 85-170BPM, Israel Vines' Patterns of Perception 109 mirrors the contrasts in his own singular sound. Low-slung grooves roll as vivid rhythms take hold. Sleek sound design shimmers amongst a field of warm, effervescent textures. Layer upon layer of percussion illuminating a roiling jungle of emotion and energy.

Patterns of Perception 109 - Israel Vines

Recording of a live DJ set for the Liminal Dreams 1st-anniversary series in Tokyo, March 11th 2023 alongside https://soundcloud.com/lynne-tokyo, https://soundcloud.com/yolabmi (Live), https://soundcloud.com/yutotakei, and https://soundcloud.com/yutaroy at Spread, Shimokitazawa. Thank you to all who made this evening happen, those who came, listened attentively, shut their eyes and let the music fill the room on an amazing system that Saturday evening. It really was a special, memorable moment for me.  

The set includes lots of unreleased/forthcoming ASIP music, alongside releases from Quiet Places, Max Würden and Merrin Karras, plus some of my fave moments from Field Lines Cartographer, Echospace, qebrµs, Sindh, Jo Johnson, Acronym, Endurance and Wndfrm.

"How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood, some afternoon that's so deeply a part of your being that you can't even conceive of your life without it? Perhaps four or five times more. Perhaps not even that. How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps twenty. And yet it all seems limitless." - Bertolucci’s adaptation of Paul Bowles’s The Sheltering Sky. - fullmoon - Sakamoto.

Who has seen the wind? 
Neither I nor you. 
But when the leaves hang trembling, 
The wind is passing through. 
Who has seen the wind? 
Neither you nor I. 
But when the trees bow down their heads, 
The wind is passing by.

(by Christina Georgina Rossetti)

For the fourth installment of our ‚Identity formation‘ podcast series, we are happy to present Mind over MIDI (@mind-over-midi-1). Hailing from Kristiansund on the northwest coast of Norway, Helge Tømmervåg has been crafting electronic sounds since the early '80s. His earliest work recorded under the now-familiar Mind over MIDI moniker arrived in the early '90s. He's released scores of highly regarded and stylistically uncompromising sounds over the years, appearing on labels including Silent Seasons, Diametric, Hibernate, Whitelabrecs, ROHS! Lontano Series, Shimmering Moods Records, Slow Tones Collages and via his own Berserk Fabrik.

His music can be described as sounds for daydreamers and nighthinkers. Inspired by the icy winds, snowy vistas and frozen landscapes in Norway.

If you can picture the very furthest, coldest, darkest part of Norway, that's where Mind over MIDI resides. If you want to get an idea of what it's like there, and can do without the frostbite, then this is the perfect solution.

If you want to learn more about the artist, please check out his links:

https://linktr.ee/mindovermidi

Also, we invite you to check out his new album 'Escapism' (CD ltd 50 • DL • stream), released on March 31.

We thank Mind over MIDI for contributing to our recently established platform, the wonderful mix and wish him the best for his further journey as an artist. If everything goes as planned, you can expect more from him on studio bb soon.

As always, if you like the podcast, please don’t forget to give it a Like, Comment and/or Repost, to support both our community and the artist. If you have questions regarding the mix, you’re always welcome to contact us. You can find the Tracklist enclosed.

ani/live Ten: Aaron J @ Monument Festival 2022

Antipodean audio artist, @materialobject has seen his creative output embraced by worldwide audiences since his debut in 2008 as he quickly rose to prominence with a stream of impressive solo works, collaborations and remixes on European and American record labels.

Beyond his solo efforts, he has also collaborated with notable musical luminaries including the late Pete Namlook on his Fax + 49-69/450464 label as well as Uwe Schmidt aka @atom_tm and has since toured the planet taking his music to all manner of events from Berlin's infamous Berghain club to Japan's Labyrinth festival along with clubs, festivals and Ambient Yurts in every corner of the god’s grey earth.

In the year 2014 he co-founded his own audio imprint titled ‘No.’ with Atom™ through which both artists explored unheard areas within electronic music and released over 30 albums and EPs from artists from all over this planet.

The year 2023 sees the release of his breakthrough ‘Telepath’ project on Vienna's renowned @editionsmego label, navigating as yet uncharted sonic space and revealing a completely new sound for the artist as he fused Acoustic and Electronic tones to create an album of stunning depth and beauty.

With Patterns of Perception 110, Material Object weaves a richly emotive story that spans four dimensions. Revelling in its transportive nature, this mix traverses great distances to connect textures, emotions and colours that are both familiar and abstract. Channeling the bold creative thrust of 'Telepath', its warm instrumentation and angular electronic experimentation feels delicate, deep and natural. 
And yet underneath it all lies a profound sense of nostalgia, which Material Object carefully crafted by running the finished mix through additional filters and machines, instilling a feeling of hazy consciousness, and of fond, half-forgotten memories of childhood.

Mysteries of the Deep CXLIV – Sybil

Toner was first introduced to underground music while studying abroad in Taiwan, where he was awakened by modern techno.

After returning to Japan, he became captivated by Tokyo’s club and rave scene, and naturally progressed to become involved with numerous events as both a supporter and music journalist.

Together with Toss and Kaana, he now runs "LIMINAL DREAMS”. A community of enthusiasts, deeply focused on electronic, ambient and experimental music. "LIMINAL DREAMS" pays homage to the psychedelic chill-out culture that has been prevalent since the 60’s.

“Uneven Beauty”

“Recently, I had the opportunity to be surrounded by the beautiful port city of Keelung, Taiwan. It was a very calming and tranquil experience.

During this time, I reflected on a variety of musical experiences in recent years, to explore various sounds for this mix. I wanted to capture the beauty and tranquility of an outdoor music festival and combine it with the beauty of an intimate smoky venue.

I often find beauty in the ephemeral and feel a strong connection between music and the natural world. I hope you can enjoy this mix as a session that transcends time and space between great musicians.

I pay my respects to all of the artists.”

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.
