isolation and observation

http://asip.me/isolatedmix50

So here we are. Half-a-century of isolatedmixes. Each, a window into the world behind ASIP; an insight into the inspirations and passion behind the site and label over the past six years, and beyond.

I always set out to keep the series exclusively for artists who’ve had a profound impact on ASIP and I’m glad I’t’s stayed that way. We’ve been lucky enough to host heroes of the genre, legends, new-comers, friends and innovators over the years, and each one is special in its own right.

Ulrich Schnauss provided the very first isolatedmix (fittingly so) but as soon as I realized the series, I started making lists of artists I dreamt would contribute, and bvdub was up top. Brock’s music is unique, and as close to perfection in my world, striking a balance of euphoria, emotion and musical progression in every production.

Many of you would have heard Brock’s music if you follow this site in any shape or form, but I’m pretty sure there’s lots of who you haven’t heard a mix from Brock – they’re as rare as they come.

Brock turned me down a few times before agreeing to do this mix. Mainly because a mix to him, isn’t about sitting down for hours, maybe days and carefully crafting an hour-long journey (like it is for most of us). For Brock, he needs to be in the right state of mind; the right period in his life. Mixes zap him of energy, and if the inspiration isn’t there he wont force it.

Let’s just say the stars aligned on this one. Some true inspiration that led to the mix; an emotional moment that unfurled; and a unique and original approach, led to Brock pouring his energy into a personal journey in the most unforgettable and special way possible.

Thanks to Brock for this rare opportunity and insight into his world and to everyone who has contributed, listened, commented and downloaded the series so far. Here’s to the next 50.

02 Horizontal Excursions - Into The Mariana Trench

Welcome to the 27th chapter of the Ambient Sessions presented by Deep Electronics. This monthly released podcast brings you the best and the most diversity Ambient music can offer. 

This month set is mixed by Ryan Griffin, owner of A Strangely Isolated Place.

An introduction:

I rarely approach mixes with a concept in mind and often find them developing organically in the process. I did however, want this mix to be a deep journey, which was hard, as I've been listening to lots of melodic synthesizer music recently, so I had to get in the right mind-set for it. I started to picture space, and was partly inspired by this video for an Alva Noto track which is a spectacular combination of imagery and sound. The mix ended up being an accompanying soundtrack to some kind of failed rocket launch - starting with optimism, becoming more intense, experiencing glitches and more dramatic moments along the way, and finally falling back down to earth and more recognizable, familiar ground. It's a little cliché for an ambient mix- but I find it extremely relaxing to picture a journey along the way and felt this one came together quite nicely if listened to as a whole.

Roger Martinez stands as a visionary force within the electronic music scene. Known for trance-inducing DJ sets and unique, chart-topping productions, he stands out as one of today’s most distinctive and talented artists. 

Growing up in the pulse of Amsterdam’s club scene during the late ’90s and early 2000s, Roger absorbed the sounds of artists like Sasha, John Digweed, Carl Cox, Secret Cinema, Remy, Dimitri and Marcello. This immersive introduction ignited a passion for deep grooves and intricate soundscapes, setting him on a lifelong journey of musical exploration.

Roger’s performances are more than sets; they’re experiences. Often playing sets stretching across four mesmerizing hours, his shamanic perspective, using music as an alchemical force, transforms dance floors around the world. Revered for his signature 4-deck mixing style, Roger’s sets are pan-spectral, transcending genre and style, creating a unified sonic journey. For him, a club night or festival is a sacred ceremony where people come together to connect deeply through music, dance, and human connection.

His music has found a home on respected labels like Lost & Found, Sudbeat, UV, Plattenbank, Mango Alley, Tronic, and GEM Records. Through his own imprint, Higher States, Roger channels his unique musical visions and showcases other groundbreaking talents within the electronic music scene. His sound - a hypnotic fusion of ethereal atmospheres and trance inducing percussive rhythms - captures listeners and transports them to a place of profound introspection.

Roger Martinez is not just an artist; he’s a sonic storyteller, redefining the club experience and leaving a lasting impact on electronic music fans across the globe.
