Patterns of Perception 118 - Faery

@suze_ijo hails from the vibrant city of Rotterdam but her sound is inspired by her own heritage and takes in scenes from all over the world. She is a passionate collector of broken beats, techno, and breaks from West Africa, South America and the West Indies who has made her mark both in the club and her radio shows. She has hosted her own proudly diverse parties and always works to make the dance floor a place of harmony and togetherness. 

This week, she weaves together a lush array of soulful sounds across the house spectrum. The grooves are smooth and analogue and flow freely as water as emotive vocals, warm late-night synths and cuddly pads all make for an intimate and heartfelt selection for cosy dance floors. It's a perfect way to awaken your week and enrich your senses.

NYC-based Jonathan Lundquist, known as IT-XPO, is a Delayed regular for a good reason. The Chicago native never disappoints, regularly putting out exceptional DJ mixes, an impressive amount of live mixes that are somehow always full of fresh material, and of course his releases. 

Today we feature Lundquist’s second mix on Delayed, this time with an hour and a half of dance floor-oriented music. The most distinct characteristic of IT-XPO’s music is its dedication to emotion without compromising on unrelenting grooviness. This mix is no different. Opening on a “high” note with Lawrence’s Oolong High, and sustaining the energy throughout the 90 minutes, this mix will have you locked in and unwittingly swaying nonstop. The first hour is house à la Mr. G, before shifting to higher energy with hypnotic basslines and melody mania. 

IT-XPO has been and will keep putting out beautiful electronic music for years, and we are extremely happy to be able to support such an incredibly passionate who also just so happens to be our neighbor.

Awakenings Podcast S272 - Anahit Vardanyan

In this edition, we are thrilled to feature a mix from a true stalwart of the scene, Joachim Spieth. Spieth, a familiar name to our Delayed family, is an outstanding producer and a formidable DJ. As the mastermind behind the always-reliable AFFIN record label, his dedication to precision and meticulous craftsmanship is evident across diverse musical styles. From the drone ambient music tales that soothe the soul to the hypnotic rhythms that propel us into the depths of techno, Joachim Spieth is a maestro who wears many sonic hats.

Spieth's mix takes us on an aural expedition, steering clear of the conventional. It commences with a dubby, hypnotic, and ethereal allure, setting the stage for an enigmatic voyage. A beautiful dichotomy unfolds as the soundscape envelops the listener, balancing expansiveness and intimacy. In the dimly lit caverns of clandestine warehouses, Spieth's wizardry weaves a tale designed to enthrall without resorting to the clichéd "banging techno" trope.

A transformative moment beckons around the midway point of this odyssey, where a nebulous haze descends upon the dancefloor. Lost in the undulating waves of sound, the crowd becomes tangled in the enchanting atmosphere Spieth has meticulously crafted. At this juncture, the mix undertakes a distinctive shift reminiscent of a deep-sea exploration inside a submarine, plunging us into the depths of Spieth's musical imagination.

Local Eora/ Sydney talent Charley Fester aka Command D (@commandd) for number #141. Having only been producing music for a couple of years, Charley burst onto the scene with an inspiring ray of enthusiasm, skill & output, with releases on outputs @purespacefm, @companionmelb & @minimal_collective.

The talented producer & dj has quickly marked his signature sound, dubby & smooth as silk, oozing a specific warmth and groove which listeners can quickly recognise as Command D. Keep an eye out for a forthcoming release by Charley out on Animalia, due out very soon :) He's also working on a debut live set which he'll showcase over the Australian summer. 

Thanks for the mix Charley!

Mutual Dreaming with Aurora Halal and deep creep @ The Lot Radio 09-28-2023

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.

The first podcast of the year features our dear friend, London-based DJ, and sound artist, Faery. Many of you are likely familiar with her work and may have experienced her enchanting performances at renowned venues like Amsterdam’s De School, Positive Education Festival, or London’s Village Underground. She has crafted an immersive, hour-long winter mix for us, which we are incredibly proud to present 🕯️

Faery’s hypnotic selections blend the psychedelic depths of deep techno, tripped-out psy-influenced sounds, dark vortex-like D’n’B, and experimental ambient. Her sound navigates through intricate sound design and rich, moody textures, both within the club realm and in listening scenarios. One of the notable examples of this is her ambient sound art project Bio-17 released last year, where original biorhythmic samples are woven into experimental ambient to create speculative sonic worlds 🌚✨

Faery’s profound introspective journey takes us through the shadowy realms of crepuscular ambient and downtempo. From the outset, we are lured and caught in its rich honey-like currents, spiralling like dervishes as we dive deep and deeper into the mystical sonic gyre. No words can do the sensation justice, so you’ll just have to try for yourselves. Happy swirling 💫

For Secret Thirteen journal we have worked on a special slowed down techno recording in the spirit of the live sets we have did for Polar Inertia’s recent exhibitions in Brussels and CCA, Tbilisi.

A couple of months ago we have changed all our gear and equipment, and collected new machines but somehow never had enough time to meet altogether and wire them. Finally, we have decided to hook up our new musical gear and equipment to improvise the future of Polar Inertia’s sound.

It was one of those studio jams you do not want to rush to. We took our time. Slowed down the tempo to 112 bpm and sent all synths through a multitrack recorder to catch every moment of the jam session. During hours of knob twisting we went through several states of mind and different styles.

What we are sharing with Secret Thirteen readers is an edited version of what happened that night.

MNMT 413 : Faery

❍ honoured to share this live recording of Faery's closing set [0200-0300] from REZONANT BODY 2.0 at Exchange, Bristol ‧⁺

—Freya followed @azu-tiwaline 's enchanting hybrid performance with an absolute power hour of haunting, dubbed-out 170 rhythms… energy!!!

the sound in the room was truly stunning (thanks Jai <3) and watching one of our favourite DJs close an RZB night, nestled in front of aevi's visuals on an enormous (almost didn’t fit in the room) projector screen was quite a moving experience—a huge thanks again to all the crew, artists and dancers who brought this to life.

see you at the next gathering. x

Faery ❍ Live at Exchange, Bristol [17.05.24]

We're beaming to bring you Mix #196, coming at you from London-based DJ and sound artist, Faery.

Faery’s mind-trippin’, body-shakin’ sonic blend for On the 5th Day is inspired by a special b2b session back in July - a dense, heady and brooding rhythmic exploration worthy of the most electric early-hours dance floor.

From the groovers to the pounders, the rollers to the grinders, Freya takes us on a steamy exploration through the heavier realms of the Faery spectrum we’ve come to love; a power-hour selection saluting the beauty of intricate sound design and otherworldly atmospheric landscapes.

Faery has been working her magic for dance floor dwellers at some of the most special venues and festivals in the recent years (think Amsterdam’s De School and Positive Education Festival...); while off of the dance floor, expanding her sonic explorations to where biorhythmic sampling meet experimental ambient, resulting in the creation of “speculative sonic worlds”.  

We can’t wait to see what the future holds for this talented artist but for now, buckle up and enjoy the ride!

“Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination
and life to everything.”

-Plato-

For this week we wanted to stir things up a bit by stepping out of our comfort zone. We love Techno, but most important we love music! Our guest for this week is Mikke Metal, a Copenhagen based musician known for numerous releases on Echocord and Kompakt. Both respectable labels in the electronic music scene. 

According to Mikkel, his approach for this mix was to go for tracks that are patient, eclectic, deep, cool and atmospheric rather than dancy stuff. So the result is a quite diverse selection of tracks.

“I started out, half by laziness, not wanting to beatmix, and then decided to make it principle not to beatmix and respect the original tempo of the tracks. Instead I allowed myself to work with effects etc, in order to focus on tonal instead of rhythmical transitions”

SALVA [LPC003] - V/A

For this third release of Lpc, the members of the collective and the producers present on the album have worked together to share their vision of silence.

Here is the track "Anata" we wrote for this special release. 
Each artist giving a glimpse of his true self, of his soul, in their complete duality. Without any time or gender constraints, «Salva» allows us to express and illustrate freely and emotionally the mere essence of what music means to us all, its place in our lives and, as a paradox, deliver our approach to an anxious silence. In this sense, each track is disturbing, intense as a matter to recall our memories, hidden or forgotten, as well as our resentments and presentiments.
