𓆢 Squid Inc Risotto 𓆢

2 cups arborio rice
1 small onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 bottle dry white wine
1 pint stock (chicken, fish, or vegetable)
1 zucchini, shredded
½ cup pine nuts, lightly toasted
¼ cup chopped fresh mint
½ cup grated parmesan
Salt & pepper
Olive oil

You will notice that this dish does not contain squid, or its ink. 
Squid Inc does eat meat and fish, in small and intentional quantities, but telling you how to cook and serve our mascot felt callous. Our respect for squids is bound to both feelings of awe and of kinship. 

In the kitchen of a house on a coastline, we cook our favorite risotto, fresh and herbaceous with zucchini and mint. The rhythm of cooking risotto works as self-hypnosis. The churning spoon passed between us; the dowsing and ebbing of wine and hot stock, absorbed by the rising, swelling grains; the loud viscosity of melted cheese, glued to the silver walls of the pot. We’ve created a ritual of making this dish together, and on this night, after recording our mix for Secret Sauce, we prepare it for our friends. While clanging pot lits, chopping vegetables, and refilling our wine cups, we wonder about our kin who drift beneath the waves. We imagine a squid glinting in the dimming filtered light, her body a fleck of iridescence in the indigo abyss. 

Pour a generous coating of olive oil in the bottom of a large pot. 
Fry onions and garlic with salt and pepper. When brown, add rice.
Cook rice in olive oil until it toasts to light brown.
Add alternating pours of wine and stock, stirring continuously. Continue until the rice is soft, about 40 minutes. 
Add the shredded zucchini, continue to stir for 5 more minutes.
Add shredded cheese, fresh mint, and pine nuts, and stir until incorporated. 
Serve generously. 

Love, 
𓆢 Squid Inc 𓆢

Secret Sauce 13 - Squid Inc

A riff on Jon Hassell's _Fourth World_ series. Where Hassell focused on creating ritual music of potential societies that _didn't_ exist; Ian Kim Judd seeks to evoke the notion of potential utopian societies that _could_ exist. In these times of global instability and uncertainty, Fifth World seeks to posit an alternative, with scenes from an optimistic future.

Nits de la Tramuntana #34 w/ Santebela

This mix is dedicated to opening. I had the good fortune to open for two fantastic events @Qaotiq-sf and Ever Afters - this mix contains a lot of tracks from the former with some new stuff I’ve been on sprinkled in there. I’ve found that opening allows for a little more creative freedom, giving space for a borderless dynamic. Attempting to recapture the essence felt on the floor is a fool’s errand, but I tried my best to record this while putting myself in that headspace. 

Been sitting on @MattBrownell’s words that opening for special events is a lot like being a Master of Ceremonies. Setting the table for the night. Imagine I’m watching people fill into the open floor, slowly welcoming attendees to the beautiful digital sound forest created by Envelope Soundsystem and @loafbkr. The beats are spaced out in parts, moody, up-tempo moments that come and go. (My happy place, tbh) The night is early, there’s a long way to go, and here is the first leg of your journey.

'Golden Hands Silver Giant'
Living Room n°56 ~ @erevandj

q. pls introduce yourself
a. Heyo, I’m Loïs (alias Erevan DJ) – born and raised in Lyon, France – from where I run the label / guestmix series Bamboo Shows and my “Herbe à Chat” LYL Radio residency.
 
q. is there a story behind the mix?
a. For sure! Entitled “Golden hands silver giant”, the mix refers to my dad who left us a year ago.
He was a huge, white-haired guy. A hell of a guitarist and a DIY whizz who spent most of his life playing music and crafting whatever his mind imagined, with the materials he gathered here and there.
Since then, I tried to keep his spirit alive through my own mixes and label. Many of these tracks would definitely be too weird or gloomy for the rocker he was but still, you can hear him noodling on the guitar, drowning out the vaporous void of time stretching out in his absence!
 
q. what’s the best way to enjoy your mix?
a. Whenever you feel gloomy, sentimental. Whenever you hit the road, or when you wanna stay home, alone at night. Open the windows, turn off the lights, turn on the music and let it evolve at the contact of a warm summer surrounding sounds.
 
q. describe a favorite object in your living room...
a. Well, what about my  birth chart booklet, which has just been lying around for years, waiting to be read every time we’re drunk at home with friends? It’s just an old pile of paper held together with a staple and I childishly wrote “help” on it when I was 8. The hell I know why, it’s so dramatic! There even are pictures of me falling asleep while persistently trying to read it at 5AM.
 
q. are you working on any projects right now (music or not music)?
a. The main project of the past months has been writing, producing, and designing a book about my dad’s musical career, along with my uncle. We spent dozens of hours on this, doing researches about the numerous bands he was into, the concerts they did, the albums they released, trying to tie it all together chronologically, with the related pictures…
We’re almost done so this is a relief because it’s a massive work, but I’m so thankful for it allowed me to dig into his musical path and discover everything about him, as he was really secretive when it came to this.
Then, I’ll be able to work again on the label and many other projects like the micro-distribution I started,  the label consultancy, doing PR and writing about music!

Monument Festival 2019: Samuel

The first week of March 2020.
Oslated Mix Episode 193 - Samuel

Monument
Amsterdam
Netherlands

Samuel, born in and based in Amsterdam  has been involved in the techno scene for several years. The Dutch DJ joined Monument first as a writer in 2017, which he was eager to do due to his increased passion for techno and ambient music over the years. Not much later he also picked up the mantle of MNMT’s head of podcast. Sam performed his very first DJ gig In June of 2019 at MNMT Festival, with a 2-hour melancholic ambient mix as the opening of the final day of the festival, to which he was overwhelmed with all the positive feedback. This motivated him to focus more and more on his development as a DJ. What followed were gigs in various countries in Asia, Europe and also United States throughout 2019 and early 2020.

암스테르담에서 태어나고 기반을 둔 Samuel 은 몇 년 동안 테크노계에 관여해 왔다. 이 네덜란드 DJ 는 테크노와 엠비언트 음악에 대한 열정이 높아지면서 2017년 작가로서 먼저 MNMT 에 합류했다. 얼마 후 그는 MNMT 의 팟캐스트를 이끌게 되었다. Samuel 은 2019년 6월 MNMT 페스티벌에서 2시간 동안 멜랑콜릭한 믹스로 첫 DJ 공연을 펼쳤으며, 이 축제에서 그는 수많은 긍정적인 반응을 받았다. 이것은 그가 DJ 로서 그의 발전에 점점 더 집중하도록 자극했다. 그 뒤로, 그는 2019년과 2020년 초에 걸쳐 아시아, 유럽, 그리고 미국의 다양한 국가에서 플레이했다.

It is a pleasure to welcome our old friend Samuel to the mix series.

With this finely composed selection, Samuel commands center stage, taking us to a place of candid emotion and delicate, emerging hope.
