For the next instalment of the series I present a winding, evocative mix from Avsluta. I first came across Avsluta's sound through her mix for Rapture Network's 9128.live takeover (https://soundcloud.com/rapturenetwork/avsluta-9128live-15-may-2021) and after listening to more of her mixes for her own ambient-based platform @introspective_electronics, I hit her up for a Deep Mind Music entry. 

Avlsuta's sound is highly immersive: her mix for the series takes listeners through winding cerebral sounds, each track building upon the last, slowly unfolding into a vast expanse of sound. To me it feels like floating in the middle of a still lake at night, looking up at the twinkling stars and crescent moon, adrift and contemplative. We are then washed up onto the shore with trippy bubbling beats, before the mix gently peters out in a blanket of golden warmth. I hope you enjoy listening to this trip as much as I do.

For the photo Avsluta has chosen one which she says brings some beautiful memories from years back in Mexico. Here are some words she has to accompany the mix:

Scattered memories of journeys
To places I have never been
Or those I call home
For a few days or for years
The rush of taking off and landing
Writing history together
With strangers
And lovers
Whispering secrets
To rivers 
And trees
...and listening
Always listening
And dreaming

Deep Mind Music 

Avsluta ~ Deep Mind Music Vol.16

This recording is from the final morning of The Labyrinth 2022, Monday October 10, at Hodaigi Campground, Gunma, Japan.

Hiyoshi opened at 9:00 a.m., and then John Elliott followed with a one-hour Imaginary Softwoods live set. Instead of presenting these as two different sets, we are sharing as a single recording to represent the morning as it actually transpired, and as it was intended.

This is for all of you who could not join us last year, and all of you who were still recovering from the night before and didn't make it to the floor in time to catch these beautiful, peaceful hours.

As always from Mindgames, this recording is high-fidelity, high-resolution sound. Please enjoy.

この音源は、昨年のLabyrinthの最終日、10月10日(月)の朝、群馬県の宝台樹キャンプ場で録音された。

午前9時にHiyoshiがオープニングを飾り、John ElliottがImaginary Softwoodsとして1時間のライブセットを披露したが、この2つのセットを別々に紹介するのではなく、ひとつのセットとして共有することで、意図した通りの素晴らしい朝の流れを感じてもらいたい。

昨年参加できなかった皆さん、参加したにも関わらず、前夜のダメージからの回復が間に合わずにこの美しく平和な時間を体験できなかったみなさんも是非。

また、通常通りではあるが、Mindgamesの音源はHi-Fi、ハイレゾ音源で提供している。

The Labyrinth 2022 - Hiyoshi dj set & Imaginary Softwoods live

"At the castle, ancient walls embrace a mesmerizing sonic tapestry, where beats and frequencies intertwine to create a rhythmic symphony. This dance of sound harmonizes beneath the city lights, offering a unique and immersive experience in this atmospheric enclave."

Bas Dobbelaer (@bas-dobbelaer). Floating between energies with odd time signatures and atmospheric sounds, leaning towards the deeper shades of techno. With appearances at AD 93, Appian Sounds, On Board Music, Lowless and his collaborations with Vand for Something Happening Somewhere he is building on his own sonic palette. Operating from Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

The recording of my set at Mostra 2024 @mostrabcn 🤍

I had the joy of playing a sunny afternoon set 15:00-17:30 before Konduku, so I kept things bright & groovy 🌻🧚🌞

This set features some IDM, electro and minimal tracks I haven’t played out in years, alongside recent releases I’ve been enjoying.

The whole festival was beautifully programmed and curated, and I heard many inspiring sets throughout the weekend in the iconic grounds of the Castell De Montjuïc. 

Many thanks to F-on & @mostrabcn for the invitation to join this gathering of like-minded artists 🏰🖤

Sundays are for... Paduan

Sundown

Daydream (version soundtrack)

A lullaby for the ones who never got to stay.This theme is built from broken stars and whispered stories  a dream retold in music, where every note tries to hold someone who is gone. It is fragile, cinematic, and full of wonder a musical prayer that we might one day be whole again.

Inspired by Alive Inside, this track channels music as memory’s guardian keeping love alive when everything else is fading.

The One Who Dreamed Us Whole

Ishq in the Rain: Labyrinth 2016

Multicast Dynamics [ Field Records ] Netherlands

The mix has a mixture of influences between Asian landscapes, film noir soundtracks, grass fields by night and audiovisual surfaces of the inner space.
Not much to add other than that, just a collection of tracks that help to put my mind to a rest in all todays hectics. － Samuel van Dijk 

Multicast Dynamics aka Samuel van Dijk delivered this much expected mix to us in the beginning of Spring. This mix took us a long time to listen repeatedly, from the moment it starts to the end, we were deeply indulged in the dreamlike whirls. Such feeling lingers apart from the change of the surrounding, it even strengthens with intense stimulation. His music is rich with levels of creativity, and there are also entrances and exits; it doesn’t lose itself because the change of the environment. If you want to obtain more of his information, you can check out field records or his sound cloud. Enjoy.

UN #13 Multicast Dynamics

Hailing from Wales but a resident of Japan for the past 25 years, Steve Good has, in various forms, been involved with music for his entire life. From classical violin through just about every genre imaginable, he finally found himself sucked into the vortex of London’s rave scene in the 90s. After moving to Tokyo in ’95, he started work at a recording studio, producing, mixing, mastering, remixing and programming music for artists, bands, games, and TV commercials, while simultaneously DJing for clubs and parties and producing via his own downtempo project, Puff Dragon. Involved in Labyrinth since its beginnings, Steve takes responsibility for that festival’s legendary sound quality.

After moving to the wild northern-Japanese island of Hokkaido in 2012 with his family, he found natural inspiration for what is now recognised as the Labyrinth sound. The epic beauty and remoteness of this icy, rock-covered isle on the north-west corner of the Pacific Ocean became the inspiration for Steve’s musical explorations of the interplay between the human and the natural, creating a huge and lasting effect on both his own musical output and the indelible artistic mark of Labyrinth Festival.

This present live set grew out of a phase of sadness and listlessness Steve experienced as the upheavals of 2020 ricocheted across the globe. In the absence of those usually unnoticed markers of the passage of time, anchor points drift and the moorings that ground opportunities for perspective and insight flit and vanish. Yet in this sea of disorientation, the plants continue to grow, rivers flow, waves crash, and the seasons keep on turning. In place of what appeared to be missing arises the possibility of experiencing each moment in its sublime evanescence. Steve Good’s Patterns of Perception 67 is forest music, mountain music, lake music. It holds chaos and beauty within it, transporting the listener to places both on the edge, and at the core, of the fleeting beauty of existence.

After witnessing his ethereal, truly moving opening set on day two of last year’s Labyrinth festival, this mix is a uniquely personal one for our collective. We’re delighted to welcome Steve onto our platform to share his inimitable musical vision.
