Today I am so happy to welcome my friend fka boursin to Deep Mind Music, with a quietly reflective entry for the end of January. 

It was around this time of year back in 2022, that I first remember having a deep chat with fka boursin about our mutual interest in the power of ambient. We were both equally enthused to encounter another AmbientAddict and quickly rattled off artists, labels and tracks for each other to check. I have found in fka boursin a similarly discerning soul, not just in music, but life in general, and his intricate mix for Deep Mind Music reflects his thoughtful character.

A patient mix that rewards patient listening, fka boursin has crafted a narrative that skilfully dances between washes of sepia-toned warm drones, and–as he puts it below–“material sounds”, such as whirling whizzes of machines or twittering birds, which give us a sense of place. The perfect soundtrack to a meditative drift of the mind between thoughts and reality. I have greatly enjoyed listening to it on cold misty walks over the past week, and hope you do too ☁️🪶🤍

Some words from fka boursin about the mix:

When considering the themes for this mix, I drew from the different approaches that Sybil and I use in our work. Sybil says that themes for her come from “more of a feeling/colour/texture than something     explainable” which is in contrast with my desire for explicit material reference points. Though these approaches might be seen as existing on a somewhat linear abstract vs material scale, there is a large overlap in the sonic characters that they each employ. Here, I have deliberately mixed with tracks that perhaps encourage one to get “lost” (abstract) before pulling the listener back into the room using what I consider to be “material” sounds. Paradoxically though, those sounds are often perceived as feeling/colour/texture anyway, leading Sybil and I to the same musical end points. To me, this firstly emphasises the limitations of audio and secondly may partly explain why Sybil and I get on so well.

2xLP & digital out July 21

Quickly following March’s The Fool - our label debut - Sa Pa reveals his new album Ambeesh on Short Span.

Coming five years after In A Landscape, and nearly a decade since his debut Fuubutsushi, Ambeesh pulls together a previously hidden body of work.

Written between 2014-2019 and long held in reserve awaiting the right moment for release, the album has often been grouped conceptually as a follow up to his FORUM debut. There’s a strong through line connecting the unique language and liveliness of ambient, layered field recordings, and dub techno found in those earlier records, as well as the seamless skydive through pressure formations found in the Enter Sa Pa production mix, which hinted at several of these tracks.

These pieces have taken time to surface and fully catch the light, but there’s still little else that compares. It’s a cache of some of his deepest and most texturally thrilling music, some of which have been rattling around in our ears and minds and conversation for years and have now found the right home and time. Forward thinking and singular in its combination of atmosphere; Ambeesh can press on the body at the right volume, and moves in thrust and riposte with the listener’s circadian rhythms. Sa Pa continues to dissolve the border between club-informed experimentation and intimate headphone listening.

Ambeesh also marks the artist’s return to Australia and the beginning of a new phase.

Naarm-based artist Greer carries us through the second entry to Serendipity -offering over an hour of serene ambience, knitted together with graceful beauty and the rawness of their own experience. 

The sound they have curated invites the listener to dream, breathe deeply into oneself and seek truth. Organic sounds are nestled amongst warm layers of ethereal chords, bringing about a sense of intangible comfort that allows the listener to texturally potter through the inevitable liminality which accompanies growth…

Greer has reflected on their intentions and emotions behind the mix, and where serendipity has found them along the way;


“This mix was recorded at the beginning of the new year, something that started without a solid intention, ended up becoming a full on reflective journey through moments that had guided and shaped my little heart.

A loving glance between friends, a pat on the back, tears on a flight, incense in new yet old homes, a thought that incites change – something all a little deeper than myself.

I reflected on my year in a new city, reminiscing over canon events, love gained and lessons learnt. During this mix, it was like I regained consciousness, I suddenly remembered how these softer sounds can nurse us to a space of gentle introspection.

I hope this mix can be a gentle guide to reflection - when things seem chaotic or slightly out of reach - may these sounds remind you to take a deep breath and reconnect with your body…everything will be juuuuuuuuust fine!”


Find yourself the moment to gently look within yourself and look up to the “komorebi” in the trees...


Greer is a DJ, visual artist and the driving force behind the melting ambient mix series take care, a meditative place to visit when you need more of these gentle yet reflective soundscapes.
