Mix Series

it's everywhere

unsound and then some

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.

One of the most distinctive talents to emerge out of Melbourne’s techno scene, Mosam Howieson's (https://soundcloud.com/mos-how) singular brand of experimental live techno is texturally colourful, warm and immersive, drawing in listeners and dancers alike.

Patterns of Perception 30 sees Howieson set out to both challenge and captivate the listener, expertly weaving an array of textures, genres and atmospheres into a intriguing, powerful body of work. 

Having already released on @silent-season and @further-records, among others, his next EP is slated for release on Butter Records, and features remixes from Wata Igarashi (https://soundcloud.com/wata) and Sleep D (https://soundcloud.com/sleepd). His European debut at Belgium's Meakusma festival has also been scheduled for September, signalling what will no doubt be a breakout year for the Australian artist.

We get incredibly chill with Wellington producer Jet Jaguar. Over 22 years, Jet Jaguar's music has been drifting from electronica toward emotional and immersive ambient. His new album Everything Happens, For Some Reason [Become Eternal] sees him meld found sounds into something practically alive. He takes us on a trip through the ether for an hour, before Gussy throws down some fussy sounds.

The first piece from my recording with Akio Suzuki published by Winds Measure. This recording was made in late 2005, Akio had come to visit and we undertook a series of recordings in the field and at my then home studio - 121. The three recordings on this CD are from the live in studio sessions.
