Mix Series

collaborations / external mixes

2017

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.

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.

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.

After an extended pause for much needed rest and slow reflection, the Patterns of Perception crew is excited to return to our mix series with fresh energy and a stellar new mix from Jasmin, aka softi (@jazz_brown). 

Soulful, breezy and groove-laden, softi's Patterns of Perception 122 shimmers with her kaleidoscopic, minimal sound. Weightless sparks float and flicker in dim light. Time dilates; seasons drift.

A few thoughts from Jasmin:

Hey Jasmin, how’s it going? What's been happening for you lately?
I’m well, I’m currently living between Lisbon and London this summer which has been a dream! Great food, beach sessions and writing music. It’s been a wild 3 months and I’m just getting myself ready for the seasons changing!

What can you tell us about your mix?
For this mix I wanted to mould my love of groovy minimal and psychedelic tones for the moody season ahead, which is usually my signature sound! I have been producing a lot of this recently and some of my unreleased bits are exclusively inside 💜

⁠Is there a track or tracks that are extra special for you?
I’d probably say my own productions are the special to me as it reminds me of how much I have developed as a producer and artist. I love connecting with the tracks and being able to create my own atmospheric world for listeners to get lost in. But one track that I always come back to is "bluep" by Underground City Loop (a producer from Aus). I have been playing this track for years and it has every sonic element you'd want from a track - low end sub groove with dark melodic synths.

Patterns of Perception 122 - softi

A slow-burning glide through hazy reverie - @leifsounds’ Patterns of Perception 123 blurs the boundary between waking and vivid dreamscape. 
Spectral melancholia suffused with gentle insistence. Sultry percussion whirs. Reflections dissolve, rhythms build.

- Hey Leif, how’s it going? What’s been happening lately?
Hey, I'm good thanks - enjoying spending some time focusing on producing / mixing again after a bit of a break! There are a few things on the horizon including some new material and some radio shows this winter.

- Tell us a bit about this mix - what was your idea or direction behind it?
It was a chance to weave together a few dreamy slow burners around the 100bpm mark I've been really enjoying recently, and feature some fresh bits from Duckett and others along the way.

- ⁠Are there any tracks or moments in the mix that feel extra special or defining to you? 
'Pick a Headline' - one I made together with Duckett will always feel like a special track - it's a few years old now but still brings serenity every time I listen.

Deep Space Series

DSS 015  | Patterns Of Perception

Sri-Lanka born, Sweden raised, the enigmatic @Kalawila has an affinity for the uncertain, drawing inspiration from unconventional experiences and remote travels.

Through his time in Berlin, he realised techno was a modern way of describing a fundamental feeling dating back to ancient times. He explores this feeling within his DJ sets and productions on the likes of Bossmusik and his own label Mountain Explosion Device, examining textures and the void-like space between spaces.

We are happy to present the first Patterns of Perception mix of 2017 – a forward thinking, uncompromising affair from the immensely talented Swedish artist.

After talking about it for a long time, we finally had the chance to jam together. Finding common ground in our affinity towards rhythm and groove, the mix weaves dreamy techno with old school rave sounds.

We hope you enjoy it!

Our 11th mix is a recording from a memorable night.

Headlining our party in December, 2016, Dutch DJ and producer Ben Buitendijk put on a flawless 3 hour set that spanned genres and emotions, showcasing his inimitable skills as a DJ.

We’re particularly excited to share this one with you, as it perfectly captures what a Patterns of Perception party is about: energy, openness and flow.

Read the interview: http://patternsofperception.tumblr.com/post/158406301279/a-chat-with-ichinen

Italian producers @robertobosco and @kinymuzik are @ichinenofficial, an experimental techno project reflecting their long-standing friendship and complementary musical styles. After years spent focusing on their solo work, the duo first earned acclaim for last year’s A Morning Without Glory, a dance floor-oriented EP with remixes from techno heavyweights @dasha-rush and @etappkyle.

Since then, their music has taken a more experimental turn. As long-time friends but more recent collaborators, Bosco and Kiny set up their label @lastdroprecords to release the kind of music both were craving to make. Their first LP Dual Craters, set for release on March 31 2017, fuses Bosco’s rhythmic elements with Kiny’s more experimental sounds.

Ahead of the release, Bosco and Kiny put together this live set for Patterns of Perception. With it, they explore the elements that bring Ichinen to life: hazy dub, sun-drenched reverb and subtly driving percussion.

We also sat down with the duo for a chat about what made them switch from techno made for the dance floor to the dubby, experimental ambient that characterises Dual Craters.

Härdstedt, founder of Swedish label, Under Molnet brings us the 26th addition to our podcast stream. 60 minutes of unreleased material directly from his machines: "sounds made by me, by machines that I love , sounds from Malmö where I live, and a forest far away”. A hypnotic, emotion-filled journey to float away to.

On The 5th Day Podcast #26 - Härdstedt (live)

@volte_face_bleed has emerged as a key figure in London’s techno scene and beyond, thanks to an impressive list of releases on his label BleeD Music, collaborations with artists like @danielavery and @blind-observatory, and the diverse, deep DJ sets which remain the staple of his work.

Recorded at our March 2017 party, his expansive set covers a lot of ground, ranging from deep, lush techno to trippy acid and dub. We couldn’t be more excited to share it with you.

MNMT Mix: Patterns of Perception celebrates one year of techno in Berlin

For the 21st chapter of the Patterns of Perception mix series, we are proud and excited to present one of the key members of our collective, @kimbergstrand.

Hailing from Malmö, Sweden, his unique sound and vision has become a crucial thread in the fabric of Patterns of Perception.

With recent Berlin performances at OHM, Tresor and About Blank, Kim’s unyielding intensity and erudite selections have been garnering the attention they demand.

In this mix, Kim channels the trippy, hypnotic qualities that are at the core of the Patterns of Perception sound, while also bringing a sense of driving urgency and a dash of cinematic melody.
