DJ Mixes

intro

If you follow our channel, you are familiar with the man behind Mirror Tapes Recordings and Analogue Attic affiliate, Naarm/Melbourne-based Adam McCoy better known as Citizen Maze. We've been huge fans of McCoy's work both in the studio and behind the decks, which is equally impressive, full of ever-evolving textures and soundscapes. McCoy has found an ideal balance in his style where ambient sounds work in perfect symbioses with dancefloor-oriented percussive grooves, creating a dreamy atmosphere that fits a wide array of settings. 
The mix Citizen Maze made for us is a splendid journey with complex seamless rhythms layered with magnificent melodies and intricate soundscapes. The level of detail in this mix is simply astonishing. 

We are honored to have this mix from Citizen Maze in our catalog, and we hope you'll enjoy it as much as we do.

Delayed with... Citizen Maze

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.

Patterns of Perception 118 - Faery

Safe to say this one has been worth the wait! Relentless Sydney digger @daniel-lupica uncovers some seriously next level 90s kwaito and mid-tempo house from South Africa for a summer time spread full of pure under the radar heat! 

Q. Hey Daniel, what inspiration did you draw upon when putting this mix together? Is there a sound, feeling, or time/place in dance music history that connects all the different elements in one way or another?

A. Kind of, but it wasn’t super intentional; obviously I’m into 90’s sounds (in particular South African Kwaito and House) so I wanted to share some of my favourite finds of this year and string them together in a cohesive mix, keeping a steady mid-tempo vibe, where everything sounds both similar and different the whole way through. Nothing groundbreaking, just trying to keep an emphasis on quality and not play too many jams I’ve heard before in other DJ’s mixes.

Q. Are there any records in the mix that are especially close to your heart, or new or old favourites that you’ve been keeping up your sleeve for the right moment?

A. There are a few! As a lot of the SA stuff is not easy to come by, it feels like it’s by chance (right place, right time) that I ended up with a couple, so pretty grateful to have some of my grails in hand, such as the “Shima - S'Phete Vibe” LP, the song “Dlayani” is in the mix but it’s packed full of heat. Another is the “Andile - Want Me (Viagra Mix)” (recently added to my YT) that is red hot fave at the moment.

Q. With so many great under-the-radar South African records in the mix, can we expect to hear a few of these popping up on your youtube channel in the months ahead? And what other rabbit holes have you been exploring for the channel of late?

A. Yes for sure! There’s 3 or 4 in there that I plan to throw onto my channel. But hopefully I don’t sit on them too long and miss the boat.

The other rabbit holes that I’m always exploring include 90’s Latin/Spanish/Brazillian Hip Hop and Hip-House, as well as Reggae and Dancehall covers of 90s RnB and pop songs. Always nice to throw something familiar yet different into the mix when playing in a bar or club.

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.

Patterns of Perception 119 - Nawaz

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.

Patterns of Perception 120 - Zilka

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.

In anticipation of Atom™ and Tobias' tour of the US over the next two weekends (July 29 - Stereo Montreal, July 30 - The Bunker New York,  August 5 - Surface Tension SF, and August 6 - Lunar Lodge Colorado), we dug up this set, recorded at The Bunker New York showcase at Anthology at The Works in Detroit on May 25, 2015.  This three hour live and improvised set of hypnotizing mind control music closed out Movement weekend in epic fashion.  The room was still packed when they finished at 6am.

Italian duo https://soundcloud.com/naturalelectronicsystem have been a force within techno’s underground since 2004, gaining respect through their much revered podcasts for cult websites such as mnml ssgs and Smoke Machine, as well as their international dj sets, including at Labyrinth in Japan. 

After a mesmerizing set at the Patterns of Perception opening party at OHM in April, we are pleased to have natural/electronic.system. provide the seventh installment of our mix series - an hour of groovy, slowly unfolding dub techno.

We also had a chat with the duo about the mix, their push into production, and the music that makes them 'vibrate': http://goo.gl/LxTbOH

@hydrangeamusic ’s life as a producer and DJ began relatively recently, when in 2014 she began expressing the quietness, wonder and intensity of nature in techno. For this prodigious French talent, creating and selecting music is an act of entering a deeper dimension, both transcendent and grounded in the hypnotic beauty of the natural world.

As a producer, she has released her own productions – which are lucid, mesmerising, arresting – on @annulled_music, @two-two-records, and @silent-season.

As a DJ, she is equally inspired by the dancefloors she plays to across Europe as by the nature around her home. She describes this mix for Patterns of Perception as a musical trip for one of her walks in the forest, creating an inner journey while being connected with the surroundings.

Wherever you happen to listen to it, we are confident it will have a similar effect on you.

Mastered by Anthony Linell

Who: Stockholm-based producer Anthony Linell, also known as Lundin Oil and one half of Ulwhednar with Jonas Rönnberg (aka Varg)
Style: Percussive deep techno on the fringes, shadowy experimental electronics, twisted acid and textured noise and drone
Labels: @NorthernElectronics, @Semantica-Records, Abdulla Rashim Records, Prologue
Latest: Alienation from Self (2018), A Sens Of Order (2018), Layers Of Reality (2017), Emerald Fluorescent (2017), Consolidate (2017) 
More: Initially disinterested in using his real name—he invented Abdulla Rashim, a moniker informed by his profound interests in the Arab world, in particular Levantine culture and politics—and his Arabic studies at university.

Abdulla Rashim's contemplative techno surges through every last manipulated hardware layer to unveil a fervid and unpredictably beating heart, a core that at once reflects Sweden's pastoral melancholic beauty and the incessant, vibrating rhythms of urban ritual.

vp 17 - Refracted (Mind Express / Berlin) @refracted-music

2020년 3월 25일 수요일, 열일곱 번째 vurt podcast는 베를린을 중심으로 활동하고 있는 딥 테크노 아티스트 Refracted의 66분 믹스와 함께합니다. 영적인 명상의 도구이며 동시에 역동적인 운동 에너지를 가지고 있는 Refracted의 세트는 의식의 일부로서 내재하여 있는 춤의 근본적인 역할을 명확하게 가리키고 있습니다.

Wednesday 25th March 2020, the 17th episode of vurt podcast is the 66min set from Refracted who is a deep techno artist based in Berlin. Spiritual, almost meditative, his sets also possess a strong kinetic energy, which is a clear indication of a DJ who knows the fundamental role of dancing as part of the ritual. He wants to take us somewhere, the “where” being of our own choosing, the trail never being the most travelled.

Welcome Citizen Maze to the Butter Mix!

Adam McCoy is a Naarm / Melbourne based live performer + DJ with an ultra refined sound. His inaugural EP ‘Serenity In The Woods’ released on Analogue Attic, 2018 captured the labels signature sound of field recordings, organic drum grooves and deep pads with elements of jazz. In this mix that zone is expanded upon. A perfectly executed exploration of ambient spaces and dance music rhythms spread over a two hour session that’s sure to take you somewhere fantastic. For lovers of deep-ambient-techno, feathery jungle and slightly sinister dub wise vibrations. Keep an ear out for his next EP on Analogue Attic coming soon!

Butter Mix #94 - Citizen Maze

I discovered Adam through his EP on @analogueattic, which has become one of my longstanding favourite local releases.  I've been a big fan of his creations ever since.

I love the way he always manages to find the perfect balance between ambient and dance, with many of his tracks featuring acoustic instruments. Every new track he sends me is even more charming, innovative and unique than the last.

Thanks for this beautiful mix Adam! @citizenmaze

Full Feature

Phonica Mix Series 75: Dauwd

@citizenmaze, a.k.a. Adam McCoy, is among the most interesting talents to emerge from Melbourne in recent years. As an artist, much of his work explores the interplay between ambient sounds, acoustic instrumentation and dance music, creating lush, beautiful compositions which also find a natural fit as sophisticated club pieces. 

This approach was perfectly highlighted in his 2018 release on @analogueattic, Serenity In The Woods. Produced using a gaming laptop, a motorised Beringher mixer, and Fruity Loops, this EP showcases richly textured, intricate soundscapes, and blended field recordings with organically percussive grooves and live instrumental elements - all drenched in some of the most sublime-sounding pads we’ve had the pure pleasure of hearing. 

On the horizon for 2020-21 is the release of a second EP on Analogue Attic, plus the launch of Adam's own label, Mirror Tapes, which promises to delve deeper into the intersection of ambient sounds, dance music and experimental sound design.

This mix for Patterns of Perception, recorded alone at home on a stormy isolation-period night, also showcases Adam’s masterful attention to texture and soundscape, but in rhythmical terms brings more energy and intensity. Seemingly effortless shifts between tempos and genres flow organically, yet never muddy the distinctive atmosphere – both industrial and dreamy – present throughout the recording.

So happy to welcome Joseph Kamaru (aka KMRU)to the series. Based in Nairobi, Joseph has been releasing music and participating in the local scene there for the past few years, and is a regular performer at Nyegenyege festival. His music emits a deep and dynamic emotionality but is equally as focused on the sound design of its environment. This mix he's made reflects many moods but each one is meditated on just enough before fluidly moving to the next.

Next on the podcast is this full-field wonder from Naarm/Melbourne's Citizen Maze, member of the beloved Analogue Attic family and curator of the Mirror Tapes series. This set is a boundless horizon, a mix overflowing with so much pure, radiant feeling that you'll swear it was twice as long. Its density is staggering, yet moments of gentle and poetic bliss coalesce like visions in the fog. As melody burns into afterimage and heartbeat becomes rhythm, our senses give in completely. Enjoy this one, and thanks Citizen Maze!
