People who dedicate themselves fully to creating transcendent experiences for their audiences are a rarity, and Van Anh is no exception. Our friends acquainted with the Netherlands' thriving ambient & techno scene will undoubtedly be familiar with Van Anh and her ISOTOOP collective, who together have built events ranging from 12-hour overnight ambient excursions to 'Under the Desert Stars,' a one-off festival in the Moroccan desert. For those of us dreaming of her events from afar, the expert curator shares this dive through her record collection, and in it I hear that boundless creative spirit, the simmering anticipation, the drive to create memories that connect us for a lifetime.

“Just as some animals begin to prepare for hibernation, cities and people are preparing for winter. It's the season when I miss my bed in the morning, but getting out of your comfort zone is the beginning of finding a new self,” Toner @Yutaroy reflects on Minor Snow while presenting the 6th mix for Orbitinging series.

He mentioned that he was conscious of using tracks with a cold feeling, as well as those that deeply affect the spirit, recreating a groove different from dance music—chilly yet serious, but still heartwarming. Toner added, “Please listen to it at home while you chill out, meditate, and when you are feeling peace and comfort.”

/
Toner first encountered the alternative underground music scene while living in Taiwan. After returning to Japan, he continued to expand the boundaries of dance music. He is a lover of hidden gems and uncategorizable experimental music. Since 2022, he has started the deep listening-focused chill-out community “LIMINAL DREAMS” with Toss and Kaana, and is responsible for directing events in Tokyo.

He has performed at well-known outdoor festivals such as “rural” and “Transcendence” in Japan, “Organik Festival” in Taiwan, and “Wonderfruit” in Thailand.

/
“‘67-Oph’ by Strange Antiquark,” which Toner specially selected to share with us, captures the feeling he tried to infuse throughout the entire recording—“unique and has contemporary structure, not too serious, but sounds still fun,” he said.

Toner is always happy to share his music library whenever the opportunity arises, whether at outdoor festivals, clubs or radio shows. He will be presenting an ambient set consisting entirely of Japanese ambient artists at an upcoming festival in December, with more information to be updated on his page. “I am a firm believer that DJs are artists. As a selector, it will be a very challenging and exciting experience,” he added.

「如同某些動物準備冬眠，城市和人們也在為冬天做準備。這個季節讓我早晨特別想念床，但走出舒適圈也是尋找新自我的開始。」Toner為小雪下了註解，也為Orbitinging系列帶來第6發混音作品。

他提到，有特別挑選符合這個季節的曲目，並加入了一些深層的靈性聲響，重新創造了一種別於舞曲的律動——帶有寒意卻暖心而不嚴肅。他並建議可在家中放鬆、冥想，或感受到平靜的時候聆聽。

/
來自日本的Toner，在台灣生活時首次接觸到地下音樂場景，並於回到日本後持續探索舞曲文化。他熱愛那些隱藏的瑰寶、以及無法被歸類的實驗音樂。從2022年開始，他與Toss和Kaana共同創立了專注在深度聆聽的chill-out社群「LIMINAL DREAMS」，也在東京負責策畫活動。

他並曾在知名的戶外音樂祭如：日本的「rural」、「Transcendence」、台灣的「Organik Festival」和泰國的「Wonderfruit」演出。

/
Toner特別挑選了由Strange Antiquark所創作的「67-Oph」與我們分享，說這首曲子呈現了他試圖融入整個混音中的感覺——「獨特、具當代結構、不會太嚴肅，且聽起來充滿趣味」，他說。

他總是期待任何能分享自己的音樂收藏的機會，不論是在音樂祭、club或radio show。談到12月受邀的音樂祭，Toner正為其準備一個完全由日本藝術家的作品所組成的ambient set，「我堅信DJ也是藝術家，作為一名selector，這將會是一個非常具挑戰性且令人興奮的體驗。」更多資訊也將公布在他的個人頁面。

Minor Snow 小雪 (XiaoXue)

As the weather grows colder, rain in some regions turns to snow, and the climate becomes more unpredictable. It is important to protect yourself from the cold and nourish your kidneys, while also keeping the lungs warm and intestines hydrated. Moderate exposure to sunlight can help stimulate the body's yang energy and warm the meridians.

氣候漸冷，部分地區的雨水形成雪花，天氣多變，宜防寒養腎、溫肺潤腸。適當地曬陽光能助人體陽氣升發，有溫經脈的作用。

Orbitinging is an inging ambient mix series, blending the flow of music with the rhythm of seasonal changes. Released in sync with the 24 solar terms, it captures the unique atmosphere of each moment.

The 24 solar terms originated from ancient astronomers dividing the solar year into 24 equal parts, marking the Earth's journey around the Sun. Orbitinging resonates with nature’s breath, deepening our connection to Earth's rhythms.

Orbitinging 06 - Toner

Confortable, le physique peut s'éteindre.
Se préparer à la rêverie.
Le cerveau ne connait jamais de vrai repos.
Se laisser guider.
Saturation et clairvoyance s'alterne.
Douceur.

Comfortable, the body can switch off.
Prepare to daydream.
The brain never really rests.
Let yourself be guided.
Saturation and clairvoyance alternate.
Softness.

Chris SSG needs little introduction. As co-founder of the hugely influential (former) MNML SSGS blog and now organiser of MNML SSGS events, he has for years been at the cutting edge of electronic music in his hometown of Tokyo and abroad. Eschewing conventional dancefloor sensibilities, his music moves effortlessly between ambient, experimental, komische and abstract techno.

His Patterns of Perception 39 is a journey through a range of his current musical foci, and was recorded live at @dredrecordsberlin 's Space Cakes event on 12 August 2018, drawing from an emotional palate inspired by the summer in which it was recorded.

Sidney & Suleiman’s musical explorations – both as DJs and as founders of Paris-based Latency Recordings – traverse a rich tapestry of genres, moods, and sounds. Their distinctive combination of these elements places the label at the forefront of aurally diverse electronic music for both dancing and listening.

Patterns of Perception 40 reflects the keen and subtle musical sensibilities of the duo, drifting between and around ambient, experimental and techno, always remaining true to its creators’ unique musical vision.

Since first playing at the second Patterns of Perception back in 2016, techno veteran @yuka, has bestowed a special beat upon Patterns of Perception’s heart.

With interests that span painting, sculpture, design and music, Yuka’s unique groove – which is as deep and psychedelic as it is lucent and energetic – has captivated dancers across the globe. Meanwhile, her productions, out on @fullpanda-records, @semantica-records, @silent-season and soon on @kalawila's Mountain Explosion Device are ornate, magical, and profound.

Her Patterns of Perception 41 perfectly captures the rich threads in her musical tapestry.

As a co-curator and resident DJ of Patterns of Perception, Steve Duncan aims to always infuse a sense of vibrancy and diversity into the sonic palette of his sets and musical offerings. A focus on rhythm and narrative allows him to traverse a range of sounds and moods, and challenges him to continually dig and refine his musical vision.

With Patterns of Perception 42 - his second outing since the very first edition some two and half years ago - Steve has created a soundscape filled with slow grooves, rough textures and vibrant interjections. It seeks to bridge home listening and dancefloor sensibilities, with driving moments countered with contemplative experimental pieces.

@eluize is many things: a producer, DJ, and label head, whose passions over the years have ranged from maths to (more recently) motherhood - both of which and more she discusses in an upcoming interview with us. Her label, Night Tide (@nighttideaudio), whose mission is deep melodic underground electronic music, has released music from @albrecht-labrooy, @djenacosovic, and @hans-berg.

Based in Berlin but with a foot still firmly grounded in her hometown of Adelaide, Eluize’s productions and mixes span techno, house, acid and more, fuse acoustic instrumentation with synths and machines, creating textures that are spacious, euphoric and rhythmically alluring.

Her Patterns of Perception 43 is at once precise, vivid and lush, a perfect antidote to the gathering darkness of Berlin’s coming winter.

Just before the pandemic hit, I strung together this collection of my favorite downtempo tracks by one of my favorite electronic artists - Biosphere. All tracks were purchased from Bitport. Enjoy!

Mariana Trench: A deep dive with Biosphere

His Master's Voice is one of those artists that is hard to associate with a specific genre in electronic music. Instead, he is recognized as an artist whose style is continuously morphing and pushing boundaries of electronic music into uncharted territories both in the studio and behind the decks. In the past few years, we've seen a constant rise of this Hannover-based artist. From his debut release on Schleifen and remarkable contribution to KANN's Banana Split release, to mind-bending Delsin debut EP and his very first LP 'Log: a Canis Majoris' on Paul Rich's KCZMRK, His Master's Voice reminds us that the electronic music universe is infinite and that one can still make music that sounds fresh and interesting. His close friendship with VRIL, with whom he often shares countless studio hours, has brought us some fantastic collaborations in the past. Two remixes on Delsin were like an introduction to the Adderall project that His Master's Voice and VRIL started just a few weeks ago with an incredible ode to 90's IDM, the track - 'Cryosleep,' which we had the pleasure of premiering. 

The mix His Master's Voice prepared for us is an intricate journey full of twists and turns through Jungle, Leftfield, Techno, IDM, and Electronica. This is one of those mixes that you'll go back to over and over again, just to hear something new that you may miss the last time you listened to it.
