Esgeem — KuH 2024

@seanhorlyck

Sean H is for the deep listeners and dedicated steppers. The Amsterdam-born, Berlin-based DJ flirts with all tempos and textures to stitch sets that connect the cerebral and the somatic. Her intricately woven mixes are driving yet spacious. Long transitions and sleight-of-hand mixing between D&B and techno drive tension and keep the flow flowing. Sean H magnetises listeners with natural and organic sounds as heard on podcasts for area127, Mana Abundance and Monochrome Association. She selects and plays with the quiet confidence and versatility of an artist beyond her years which has led her to bookings at Berghain’s Säule and numerous Hypersoft events.

The final commute of 2024, a fitting excursion from Brighton’s Third Space.

Long standing 1BTN radio resident, Ross has been on the commute for many years.

His show of the same name has been a go to option to unwind from the vicissitudes life can throw our way. On a Monday evening Third Space often easing the listener into the more subtle realms he likes to present.

A purveyor of sound from far and wide, Ross’s knowledge, passion and composure shines brightly. A natural collaborator, Ross regularly invites many of Brightons deejays and collectives to share space on his show, bringing a much needed community spirit back to the coastal city.

Ross now manages and curates the music on offer at Brighton's The Well equipped with 4 kilpsch Hersey IVs, fine drinks, it’s well worth a visit.

Here we have a masterful flow on display, from a seriously underrated deejay.

Thank you to all that joined the commute this year, it’s a been a pleasure. See you in ‘25 for the next leg.

commuting with Third Space.

We are thrilled to present the 10th-anniversary release on our label by Ehndo @ehndomusic - a musical project of Bautista Falco, a young artist from Buenos Aires, Argentina.

‘Genesis’ marks the start of his musical journey, blending deep and psychedelic sounds with a broad and exploratory approach. Inspired by life in Buenos Aires, this album reflects the artist’s day-to-day experiences and the different moods he has navigated over the past few years. From slow tempos and warm pads to broken rhythms and brain-dancing patterns, ‘Genesis’ evolves into 4-on-the-floor trance-inspired beats.

Produced by Bautista Falco
Mastering by Ilya Semashkevich

I am so excited to share the latest, and most unique, Deep Mind Music entry. This mix, by my good friend Tahl, has been in the works for a long time. A mixtape of 100% saxophonic versions & originals which is the first manifestation of Tahl’s new alias for saxophonic exploration - loket.

A member of Berlin's Power Play collective, Tahl debuted the combination of live saxophone played over ambient music at the intimate confines of Power Play’s foggy chill out room. Tahl first proposed the idea of this mix to me back in April, and throughout lockdown he has been chipping away at it, keeping me updated as it has slowly evolved from a loose initial concept into a fully formed immersive journey. 

Taking the listener through flurries of arpeggios, introspective poetry, delicate piano, vulnerable vocals, and lush, sunlit pads, the mix resonates on a tender, personal level. A story told through prescient programming between tracks and sonic palettes, it subtly ebbs and flows between different emotional states. Throughout the mix the free flowing saxophone jams flitting between the tracks take you far, far away, adding a soft trippy fluidity to the edges of the soundscape. By the end of the mix you are totally submerged in effervescent mind-melting deepness.

I’m so grateful to loket for putting together this truly special entry, and I hope you enjoy listening to it, and find as much solace, peace and catharsis in it as I have.

Some words from loket about the mix: 

This project started in many ways in a dank room in what is now a demolished squat in Lichtenberg Berlin at a Power Play Rave in the middle of 2019. Empowered by an unreasonable Funktion One Soundsystem flush inside of our chill out room, I experimented with playing live modulated saxophone for the first time. 

I was shaking so intensely I could barely blow air through the horn. But when what I played was channeled through my computer and out into the audience, the power of the sound, and of the moment, was sickening. Since then I’ve spent many hours honing and sculpting and experimenting to try and bring that feeling “to tape”.

I can’t stress enough how much of this project has been an exercise in moving forward slowly while having mostly no idea what I’m doing. I’m sure i broke every “rule” imaginable in recording and processing the saxophone on this mix. Maybe that is somewhat reassuring to those of you who also feel burdened by the glossy perfection and successes seemingly surrounding us at all times.

It’s also an exercise in reconnection. In patience. I stopped playing saxophone entirely in 2010 because I felt inadequate in my jazz skill. I haven’t practiced “a lick” in 10 years. I barely remember basic scales. But by revisiting the saxophone many years later through a more imaginative and electronic production lens, I’ve been able to move closer to creating the voice I always wanted to make.
