AL TARIQ - 'World Heritage'

Living Room n°32 ~ @unknown0091122

q. pls introduce yourself
i'm z, walker in words and navigator in sounds; from lisbon and based in brussels

q. is there a story behind the set?
for every mix i make i try to bring up the general feeling inside me through that phase - still quite unconsciously - i just need to feel that it fits what i'm feeling in order to fit each sound together, being solitude, spontaneity, infatuation, confusion... more practical criteria is to use mainly new sounds, sounds from friends, small projects, and mostly non-cis-male artists

q. what's the best way to enjoy your set?
probably alone in a writing setting, journaling, or putting an idea onto paper

q. describe a favorite object in your living room...
i have many so i'll choose three: a poem written with heat on an copper covered aluminium sheet, given by a lover; a photo of patti smith live in the 70's given by a dear friend; a steel rod with this shape Ω i found on the street. can't help but also say my piano

q. are you working on any projects right now (music or not music)?
i'm preparing for a concert in the forest this month, and planning a writing workshop in france later in september with a dear one too

Island Of Angels w/ Marc O'Callaghan & Mark Allen Soul - 07/07/2022

chOOn!! began life as a notoriously wild radio show invested in niche musical subcultures. Now a newly formed reissue label, chOOn!! champions obscure and forgotten sounds with a string of top quality vinyl reissues.

This mix is dedicated to oceanic currents - from within you will find a collection of sprawling subterranean sounds. Laggy proto-electro - hypnotic, non-standard boogie - sub-tropical steel-tone pulses - brain-bombing percussive environments, floating pentatonic synth and an exclusive first listen to the next reissue from chOOn!!

🌐 "Outsiders" is our daily show hosted by global independent record labels

Outsiders: chOOn!! @ Kiosk Radio 04.08.2022

For this month's show on @noodsradio, we are delighted to share a guest mix from elusive Japanese rock phantoms HAPPY. Their guest mix captures the sound of an inner world hurling through a meticulously explored, if hazily defined, outer space - reinforcing the demented concentration of the group’s abilities.

chOOn!! with HAPPY [Guest Mix]

On this month’s show, we are delighted to share a guest mix from the enigmatic Tsunaki Kadowaki (@tsuna-psychedelia). A longtime ally of the chOOn!! label, Kadowaki, based in Tottori, Japan, is a revered selector, music writer, record collector, label runner and tireless advocate for niche soundscapes. For his guest mix, Tsunaki embarks on a new sonic voyage through Post-Choir, Avant-garde Choir & Choirtronica. This hour-long mix explores the intersection of traditional choral music and modern electronic deconstruction, weaving together human and synthetic voices into a hypnotic tapestry of sound. Expect delicate vocal harmonies that dissolve into shimmering electronic textures, ethereal atmospheres, and ambient deconstruction that floats somewhere between the celestial and the experimental. Join us for an immersive, boundary-dissolving suite from one of Japan’s most visionary selectors.

24 mixes before xmas, day 14 : with chOOn!!

On this month’s show, we are delighted to share a guest mix from the legendary Japanese ambient visionary Dream Dolphin. Dream Dolphin assembles a deeply transportive journey through her own otherworldly catalogue - drawing on decades of music that fuses ambient, trance, healing frequencies, and celestial spoken word. The mix ripples with high-frequency synths, aquatic atmospheres, and dream-coded transmissions - offering a glimpse into a world where new age mysticism meets early internet-era dance-floor surrealism. Both ancient and futuristic, it’s a sonic meditation on memory, imagination, and the spirit of the dolphin.

土着信仰 - El rito del imperio azteca - 2020/12/05

This week, we welcome our twelfth guest mix selection on @subcityradio - this time from the enigmatic collector behind the legendary Japanese ambient and environmental music YouTube channel, Should Be Asleep (https://www.youtube.com/user/WestCoastEaglesFan).

For many years, Should Be Asleep has been engaged in an idiosyncratic exploration of Japanese interior design - percussive timbres, unusual drones and intricate rhythms; sounds that have recently exercised such a grip on the imaginations of amateur enthusiasts and curators alike. Functioning as a social hub of sorts for kankyō ongaku environmental music and its many offshoots, this rarefied collection stands as one the most cohesive and impressive archives of its kind freely available online.

This guest mix assembles a collection of music and field recordings in tribute to Kamikōchi (a valley/national park in the Japanese Alps) in the summertime, thrusting the listener into hyperreal yet phantasmal realms with its fusion of synthetic and organic elements. There’s a self-effacing preciousness to the ambient works that’s felt in their simplicity and spaciousness; uniquely strange and beautiful tracks that feel pastoral and mystical all at once. A meticulously crafted collection of musical tints, dulcet minimalism, melancholic shimmer and crystalline purity that tiptoes gently backwards in time, time travelling to an untroubled place of serene beauty.
