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.

DSS 094 comes from the hands and mind of Vardae, a French artist with the ambition of breaking away from the genre barrier, to explore new sounds territory around the love of psychedelic music.

About his approach he said: "Inspired by a ritualistic journey, this session goes from a breathe meditation to an ecstatic state of movement."

Jo Johnson’s explorations in sound have ranged from free-form punk with Huggy Bear in the 90s, to underground techno in the 00s, and, for the last decade, deeply expressive electronic minimalism that pays tribute to the many women who pioneered this genre. She has released with respected labels including Further Records and Mysteries of the Deep in the US and Frequency Domain and Castles in Space in the UK. Her latest project, Alterations, is a 'slow' album that she is recording and self-releasing track-by-track throughout 2025. 

For the fourth edition of Waves, Jo Johnson presents a mix of absolute celestial beauty, building delicately with deep and lush ambiance into a trip of interstellar melodies, this is the perfect way to start your week off right.

There is psychedelic techno, and then there is the earth shattering, mind-melting, wormhole inducing high-fidelity psychedelic techno of A Strange Wedding. A true master of cutting edge sound design and transcendental sets that have warped the very fabric of reality across the globe. 

This very special mix takes you deep into a galaxy of sounds, where each sonic filament is rendered with surgical precision and crystalline clarity. Tribalistic energy and alien textures combine to summon a kind of primal futurism. It is the sound of an ancient ceremony, conducted deep in the forest. 

Your gateway to the ancient future is now open.

LF58 is the collaborative consciousness of techno maestro Neel and sonic explorer Filippo Scorcucchi. Initially beginning the project with a blissful release on Auxiliary, the duo has since gone on to release three legendary albums on Astral Industries. The modular synth masters are revered for their ability to sculpt sound into expansive, architectural forms, building entire worlds from celestial drones and intricate textures.

This mix is music for the deep cosmos of the mind; an ambient transmission designed to dissolve time and space. Patient and deep, the set serves as a soundtrack for drifting through the quiet solitude of space, floating in a sonic vessel built by two masters of atmosphere.

Sounds of Stillness is On the 5th Day's podcast series dedicated to the beauty of stillness and calm, through which we can expand our consciousness and deepen our connection to the universe, and to one another.

More simply, it’s dedicated to the preciousness of hitting pause - of creating valuable time out for ourselves - and the infinite possibilities that come from doing so.

The demands of daily life and of the roles, responsibilities and labels we adopt, together with the endless stream of thoughts flowing through the mind can all too easily drown out the innate calm and tranquillity within. We can get carried away in the busyness, overwhelmed by the pressures and attached to our fears. We become our thoughts.

Yet through true stillness, we can rediscover the path to our inner sanctuary, to the secrets of the soul, to the rhythms of the universe, to our creative energy, and to our healing. We can re-connect and re-energise.

Sounds of Stillness is your vessel to this inner peace, calm and serenity, guided by sonic stories woven together just for you by a host of inspired creators from around the world.

Whether for meditation, the soundtrack to helping you unwind or for quietening the mind so you can tap into your creative flair, we hope you’ll find the series soothing, grounding and rejuvenating.

Before settling into each story, we recommend setting an intention for yourself, something like “I dedicate this time to myself and to my inner peace and calm. I let go of all the pressures and responsibilities of the day and gently focus my attention inwards.” Then get comfortable… take a handful of slow, deep breaths and surrender to the sounds of stillness.
