Jake Muir is a Berlin based sound artist, DJ and field recordist. He approaches his practice as a listener first, carefully curating, layering and processing sounds that help him deconstruct and contextualize his lived experiences and influences. Using investigative software methodologies, DJ techniques and engineering dexterity, Muir makes deeply personal sonic art that fluidly traverses genre membranes, encouraging reflection and sometimes prompting psychedelic states.

This mix is essentially a studio distillation of the two DJ sets I played during bathing hours at Washington Baths in Portland, Maine last year, for @poolemusicltd. Beyond the aquatic aesthetics tying back to saunas and my time spent living in California and Seattle, it is also inspired by an essay I discovered while trying to find cover art for Bathhouse Blues. “Spiritual dimensions of self-transformation in Sydney’s gay bathhouses”, by Jason Prior and Carole Cusack, explores how gay bathhouses were viewed as places of worship by the patrons and what transpired there as being “rituals”. Given this backdrop, there are various references in the mix, both literal and figurative, to said dimensions associated with rituals and spirituality.

Yumi’s dawn spell builds slowly casting a spectral echo calling us into her world of sound. Far off angelic vocals beckon the listener to the shores of what’s to come, before being rewarded with a jovial horn melody that builds into sincere sub-bass leaving you hooked for more.

Low End Theorists, the Sydney-based audio journal, arrives at FR with a mix brimming with soothing textures and strange but enveloping tones — a warm tribute to the inspiring soundscapes they’ve been shaping through their inspiring Theory Therapy (@theory-therapy) mix series and label since 2021. 

‘Me and Dan recorded this one on a Saturday arvo in my sunroom. We’ve been recording mixes for about 5 years now, so the way we put them together has become pretty intuitive. This one is just a continuation of what we’ve always done – playing music we both love and not overthinking it’.

Imagine a medieval monk in a remote monastry contemplating the World in his cell.  Outside of his cloistered life 'the wind begins to howl'...

Celestial Trax returns with new work of tonal-textural explorations.
On 'Lifecodes' the producer born Joni Judén weaves together a dense quilt of sound, shimmering and surging as it unfolds in free-time. Judén invites the listener down a luminous, harmonically adventurous path, where sound takes creaturely dimensions. The songs blossom and wilt, at times floating in states of ambivalence, at others washing over the listener like waves, bathing them in heavy light.

'Lifecodes' was created in the small village of Pynnölä, Joutsa in central Finland, where Celestial Trax has been living and working since 2020.
