EMC is honored to introduce Joachim Spieth!

Joachim is a German DJ, music producer, and label owner who emerged musically in the late nineties and has since developed a multi-faceted spectrum of sound between the poles of ambient and spherical techno. Characteristic of his work is the attention to detail and a sensitive sensorium for the creation of atmospheres, which one can hardly escape, no matter if this takes place in his studio work or his performances.

After several years of intensive collaboration with @wolfgang_voigt’ s @kompakt imprint, he founded his label, @affin, in 2007, which has been constantly developing ever since and has made a name for itself internationally. As a prolific producer, Joachim has released several albums in the past years such as Irradiance, Tides, Ousia, Terrain, and  Reshape project, which features variations of his music tracks by @alvanoto, ASC, @bvdub_music and others. Together with @markusguentner, Joachim recently started a collaborative project, releasing the Overlay album followed by Overlay Variations in which the two artists use the elements taken from Overlay to to create completely new pieces of music.

Enjoy!

"I recorded this mix in one take on a sunny Saturday afternoon in the woods of southern Vermont at the house I grew up in, surrounded by rolling green mountains & overlooking a beautiful pond. Playing music here always feels deeply comforting & familiar, especially music on the deeper, slower & more introspective side of things. I’ve recorded a lot of mixes in this setting - it really provides me with the centering focus that I sometimes need when I want to be my absolute most honest, creative self. There is no better feeling than being completely immersed in nature. Around me there are ferns that look as if they came from the time of the dinosaurs; beautifully towering birch & maple trees; bright blue dragonflies dancing across the top of the pond as dozens of trout jump for bugs in the water below; chickadees, blue jays, robins, crows singing amongst the treetops; bullfrogs calling out from amongst the rocks. Watching the wind make ripples on the water, a canoe drifting by, the sun coming in & out of the clouds & feeling this immense sense of calm that nature provides for me enhances the experience so wonderfully. I hope it can provide someone else out there with that same sense of peace that I’ve tried to capture here."

Introspective Electronics w/ Avsluta x Netil Radio | Sep 24

This compilation sneaks into the soundscapes of the ambient room at Perpen and its population and marauders. The line up is packed with friends and family that are part of the event, who shared their vision of that cabin on the forest. A continous play has been edited for a cassette as a one-piece composition, with no aim to make a dj set but to have a more seamless experience throughout the different tracks. Welcome to the Ambient Room; it might be a daylight outside already.

Thanks to eveyone collaborating and supporting so far, the artists on this compilation, the crew at the forest, and everyone involved. Larga vida al Perpen.

The next Deep Mind Music comes from one of my dearest friends, and greatest inspirations - hems

hems and I have a special connection, we both love to adventure through musical lands strange and beguiling, evocative and unusual, and have spent many hours together digging through obscure backcatalogs or making our own noises experimenting with hems’ many synthesisers in his studio in London 🧡

hems plays music like no one else I know, he has a magic touch and deep sensitivity for representing all shades of human existence. From the sublime to the transcendent, the unsettling to the hilarious, hems’ sets takes listeners to the beyond and then further still.

I first invited hems to make a mix many years ago, so I am very happy to finally welcome an entry from him. This recording is the first 2.5 hours of an all-night 8 hour set hems played at an intimate private gathering in Mexico City in March of this year.

In this recording hems coaxes us to drift inwards, to enter into an unusual landscape, to open up to all the elements of sound, contrasting pre-Hispanic music with vintage synthesizer tracks and much more.  

Listening to hems’ sets over the years has expanded my mind towards new possibilities, his selections and genius touch for programming evoking many deep epiphanies and insights. This mix is brimming with vitality and life, I hope you enjoy this kaleidoscopic voyage into the mystical 🌿 ~

Alongside DJing, hems produces very deep and intricate experimental electronic music I highly recommend checking out, often utilitising spatial audio systems or even playing gongs live, and he also runs the amazing Titrate records with @o-utlier, as well as his own mix series @hardcore-chillout with @EightFoldWay

hems ~ Deep Mind Music Vol.33

This recording is from the first edition of L’Appuntamento, a series of open-air listening sessions initiated by Villa Lontana Records and Donato Dozzy in Rome. Each gathering pairs a vinyl set by Dozzy with a live electroacoustic performance by a new-generation artist.

In this first edition, held in the garden of Villa Lontana, Donato Dozzy opened the evening with a selection of minimal, folkloric, and acoustic-rooted records — setting the tone for Verde Prato’s live performance.

L’Appuntamento is an ongoing invitation to pause, tune in, and share time through listening. 
Next appointment is Thursday 26 June 2025 with Ange Halliwell.

L'Appuntamento with Donato Dozzy + Verde Prato - Listening session at Villa Lontana on 11 May 2024

‘Travel Within’ es una composición de Ambient Piano en la que participa la talentosa violinista Mirela Nita. El tema ha sido mezclado y masterizado por el productor Runar Blesvik, quien además ha creado el arreglo de cuerdas sintetizadas.

Sobre esta composición:

Sting, el reconocido músico y filántropo, concedió una vez una entrevista en la que compartió una reflexión muy interesante sobre sus viajes, tanto los externos como los internos. A pesar de haber recorrido el mundo entero, Sting explicó que sus mejores viajes han sido los que ha hecho hacia dentro de sí mismo, y no puedo estar más de acuerdo con él.

Cuando viajamos hacia nuestro interior, exploramos nuestros pensamientos, emociones y creencias, y obtenemos una comprensión más profunda de quiénes somos realmente. Este viaje puede ser, a veces, desafiante e incómodo, porque nos obliga a enfrentarnos a aspectos de nosotros mismos que quizá hemos evitado o ignorado. Pero también puede ser enormemente enriquecedor, ya que nos permite descubrir nuevos niveles de autoconocimiento, autoaceptación y crecimiento personal.

Al igual que Sting, también creo que, aunque viajar y vivir experiencias externas puede ser emocionante y enriquecedor, al final son pasajeras y nunca podrán sustituir ese sentido profundo de propósito y significado que nace de nuestro interior.

Tomarnos el tiempo para explorar nuestro mundo interno nos permite comprendernos mejor, entender mejor lo que nos rodea y desarrollar las herramientas y la claridad necesarias para afrontar los desafíos de la vida con mayor serenidad y equilibrio.

Read our interview with Grant Aaron here: https://www.patternsofperception.com/post/a-chat-with-grant-aaron

The first time Grant Aaron (@insideout) went to an event with a chill-out room, everything clicked into place. It was the beginning of a long love affair with ambient and experimental music, with its sparsity and often beat-less nature leaving plenty of room for the imagination to take over. Grant went on to take up DJing in chill-out spaces himself before founding the influential platform Mysteries of the Deep in New York a decade ago. Initially a podcast, Mysteries has evolved over time into an event series and record label, and has established itself as one of the most revered sources for ambient music, both online and offline.

2021 is shaping up to be as busy a year as any other for Mysteries: there are releases in the works from Christina Chatfield (@anitserk), Mosam Howieson (@mos-how) and Grant’s label partner Oliver Chapoy (@ohm_sweet_ohm), plus plans to bring back the podcast after a brief hiatus. In the midst of this busy schedule, Grant took the time to showcase his cinematic, storytelling-driven style for our own podcast, with a mix recorded in a dense New York winter and inspired by the dampening of sound that comes with heavy snowfall.

Of the concept of his Patterns of Perception 80, Grant says: “The last eight or nine months have been some of the most difficult that I’ve been through in several years. A lot of it has to do with my work situation, which has been incredibly challenging and pushed me to rethink many things in my life. Then you have the pandemic, which has been this overarching theme for so many, most just trying to get through each day. But then there are these rays of light. I always try to be optimistic and hopeful about stuff, even when that can be really tough, so while this mix is very solemn, there are rays of light coming through.”
