Slower Things

2017

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.

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.

Deep Electronics Podcast # 137 - Egor Kuchepatov

Paradox van Fortuin

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.

Patterns of Perception 12 - Jacopo [IfZ / 27.11.16]

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.

A hypnotic, emotion-filled journey to float away to.

@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.

Svreca needs little introduction. The Semantica label head has carved out a reputation in his hometown, Madrid, and internationally as a master of deep, hypnotic, forward-thinking techno.

For our One Year celebration at ://aboutblank in Berlin in May 2017, he held us spellbound under the glow of the late-spring sun with this luminescent mix of colours, textures, and sounds.

We are very excited to present the live recording of this set as the latest installation in our mix series.

Sound, when alive, is a restless organism… and the sound that rises through the Stefano Aimola’s OutpostLive project is one of pulsating life in continuous and relentless evolution. Our 41st podcast, an hour-long live recording from the Rome based Container resident DJ and producer, is a refreshing addition to our podcast stream; an ethereal and transcendent journey which grows mysteriously, pulsating through your nerves as you become fully absorbed in the broken rhythms and hypnotic loops, bridled by distorted chains, delays and reverbs. For maximum effect, we recommend finding a comfy spot, dimming the lights and settling in.

For techno in Amsterdam, few do it better than Sandrien. The Dutch native has been collecting records in her hometown for the best part of two decades, and became a staple of the city’s underground scene through MAD2 – the club night she ran with friend Carlos Valdes. Building on the success of MAD2 she went onto establish Imprint – the night she’s best known for – which she ran at the much-loved Trouw club up until its closure at the beginning of 2015. In the years since she’s been playing out increasingly beyond the Dutch capital, with 2017 seeing her tour Asia and stop off in Berlin for regular appearances. This rise in popularity is a real testament to her prowess as a selector.

On 14th October she makes her Farringdon debut, so we didn’t hesitate in inviting her to record a mix for us to introduce herself. For her mix, she dropped a carefully-curated selection of ambient, IDM, broken beats and techno, before discussing her record digging habits and the scene in her hometown.

Inspired by a recent visit to Berlin and the organic techno sounds they encountered, their slow-building yet captivating contribution to our mix series is a fully improvised live set recorded in a single take.
