Long-time resident of The Labyrinth (Japan, @mindgameslaby), Hiyoshi’s vivid, contemplative ambient mixes draw together musical elements from a diversity of sources, yet retain a rare purity of emotion and atmosphere.

With Patterns of Perception 33 Hiyoshi aims to capture the essence of his most affecting sets of the past year, including at Sound Garden, Labyrinth, and One party, while also paying respect to friends and artists who’ve mentored and supported him.

The result is a lucid, ethereal selection, a dance in the diffuse sunlight, on the surface of the lake, always hinting at the depths below.

Patterns of Perception 33 - Hiyoshi

Sven Weisemann has always been an artist's artist. His mixes and productions stand aside many of the timeless "secret tips" you may have heard about. They are defined by the culture surrounding them, while simultaneously defining that same culture. Never hesitant to drift into fascinating new unexplored territories, he has managed to finesse his way into the global spotlight with records on imprints such as Delsin, Echochord, and Mojuba. His familiarity and expertise in the realm of ambient and modern classical have made him a ripe pick for the heart of our summer mix series. Enjoy alone or with friends, but always in the sun.

Thanks a lot https://soundcloud.com/svenweisemann

032 - Unrushed by Sven Weisemann

Earlier this year we were presented with an intriguing release by Glasgow based record label Craigie Knowes. It was a curveball of sorts given the dancefloor ethos of the imprint and the prior material to have previously featured on the label. The leading light from the EP came in the form of a track titled "Say". A beautiful, haunting vocal inspired track with a sense of beautiful melancholy, not too dissimilar to the musical output of Andy Stott.

The EP was the work of an up and coming producer and disc jockey, Eluize. A promising, elegant musician keen to blur the preconceptions of electronic music - layering the concept of 'song' above the moody, enchanted density of rugged analogue machinery. 

As such we invited her to record a mix for the site, an ambient affair perfect for a lazy easter monday...
