Rupes' Tracks

It's quite rare to view stars in a big city like Seattle.  Most of the time, I have to leave the city and go camping somewhere just to see the bright stars in the sky.  I love taking a long drive out into the middle of Washington; long drives out into the boonies to camp....I say it wouldn't be a Pacific Northwest summer without a weekend camping, staring at the stars. I find I get filled with inspiration when I stare up into space..... 

It seems I'm not alone in that either. Meet Dario Klein. Him and I got acquainted through the internet (shocker) and through releasing downtempo music on certain labels. I became quite a fan of his sound,  and soon we were sharing tunes back and forth. One day he asked me if I would be interested in remixing a song off his new EP with the Vienna vermin at Heimlich Musik ;) I quite enjoyed working on that remix, and soon, I found myself asking him if he'd share some of his sounds with a guest mix..... and now, it's time we all get LOST on a Space Ride!

Here's Dario:  "i just go with the flow, no matter if I'm djing or producing. I wanted to create a good soundtrack for a trip or road trip or anything, because the tracks are rolling so hard, so no matter if listeners sit at home and do a mind trip, or in a vehicle going somewhere, i think they can use it to get lost on the ride.  I'm also doing a lot of productions these days, after covid stopped me from being a touring musician. Last year I went from Berlin to Istanbul and then Marrakesh where I got stuck in curfew, but had the time of my life recording with my friends.  I think it's really important to capture your feelings in some way. It's good I find the time to feel free and just play what I feel. That's how I get lost on a space ride!"

Noy Ära ▪️ Fairground Festival 2k18 ▪️ Ecovillage, Sousse

Born and raised in Alentejo, in a small town in the interior of Portugal, João a.k.a. BirdZzie (@birdzzie) is the musical producer and DJ who is living in Lisboa after almost a decade of immigration in Brasil. BirdZzie grew up immersed in a musical environment that included the radio, records and cassettes. Amateur radio broadcaster and selector from an early age, began his activities as a professional DJ in 2008, travelling between a huge miscellanea of musical styles, confirming his passion for the music itself and everything related to that; melody, rhythm, noise are the things that really move him.

Our 130th edition is a live recording from a special moment, it's BridZzie's returning to the city of Porto after 10 years of absence, where he had the opportunity to play with the amazing couple Ohxalá in their party 'Banho Maria'at Maus Hábitos, reuniting very old and great friends. Strongly influenced by the chants and rhythms of regional and traditional cultures, starting out nice and slow, and rising to intense levels, BirdZzie is capturing the audience on a trip through carefully selected sounds.

Sweet Mixtape #79 : Ivan Masa

Each raga is an array of melodic structures with musical motifs, considered in the Indian tradition to have the ability to "color the mind" and affect the emotions of the audience and this journey (raga).

This week we have the wonderfuly gifted @ethnoproject, the personal project of Istanbul based Orçun Akkuş originated through the eastern culture presents the electronic music blended with the tunes from Middle East and all around the world. He keeps on performing at several places in Istanbul. This mix initiates with a legendary Turkish singer Barış Manço’s lovely track Alla Beni Pulla Beni. I believe this track brings all the best parts of love together. you may add this to the notes.

Barış Manço - Alla Beni Pulla Beni

Adorn me, beautify me, take me in your arms, love
My eyes became can't see anyone but you, love
My heart wants something from you, how should I say..., love
Adorn me beautify me, take me in your arms,love

I can make a way for you with piercing through the mountains,love
I can dry the seas up for you,love
I can smash the blue vault to ground for you, love
Ask for my life, it's sacrifice for you,love

Keep the mountains, the rocks, the flying birds, love
Let the sea, sky stay where they belong, love
My heart wants something from you, how should I say..., love
Adorn me beautify me, take me in your arms,love

Let me make a tiara for your hairs with the stars, love
Let me put out suns with one breath, love
Let me burn for you as if I'm a tinder, love
Ask for my life, it's sacrifice for you, love

The stars are beautiful where they are let them stay there,love
Just caress my hairs with your hands, that's enough, love
My heart wants something from you, how should I say..., love
Adorn me beautify me, take me in your arms,love

Let me be wind and curl around your slim waist, love
Let me be grass and lay under your feet, love
Let me be a mascara and used on your eyes, love
Ask for my life, it's sacrifice for you, love

Adorn me, beautify me, take me in your arms, love
My eyes became can't see anyone but you, love
My heart wants something from you, how should I say..., love
Adorn me beautify me, take me in your arms,love

 A dervish or darvesh (from Persian: درویش‎, Darvīsh) is someone guiding a Sufi Muslim ascetic down a path or "tariqah", known for their extreme poverty and austerity. Their focus is on the universal values of love and service, deserting the illusions of ego to reach God. In most Sufi orders, a dervish is known to practice dhikr through physical exertions or religious practices to attain the ecstatic trance to reach God. Their most common practice is Sama, which is associated with the 13th-century mystic Rumi.

Mehter - Demedim Mi (Jack Essek Edit )

Around the fall, witches are associated with spooky Halloween. However I found a special witch who had a different story to tell, one that doesn't involve flying on brooms, spooky cauldrons and screeching cackles in the night. 

I invited her to join my LOST series to tell a specific story close to her heart. This mix is meant to represent the life of her great-grandfather, who had the misfortune to be involved as a soldier in The First World War, spending the full duration of the war in the trenches of the far West of Flanders, separated from his family who lived in occupied Belgium on the other side of the front line. I have no idea what kind of horrors he went through, but fighting was fierce in Flanders Fields and I know that he got seriously wounded twice. Luckily he survived the war and became a strong anti-war advocate later in life. 

This podcast is not about the war itself, but about the slow and painstaking return to a peaceful life. The first half of this mix is a bit of an emotional roller coaster, with the dark shadows of the war still lurking everywhere. The second half is completely different, very peaceful and full of bliss…

Enjoy my second guest mixer, @Hekske

L O S T In Flanders Fields with Hekske

February... in Seattle, it's filled with grey clouds and rain. Lately, it has been extra grey and moody. I've been longing for sun, for fun, for adventures, and recently, I've been missing my last vacation to Berlin. 

One of my highlights of my Fall Berlin trip was hunting for music for my KataHaifisch guest mix, which was created by @nico-tober. I did this on long train rides, or just walking around Berlin on soundcloud. I am forever grateful for receiving the invitation to create a mix for the KataHaifisch series, as I have been a fan for sometime. I greatly value Nico's style, his DJing skills, and his storytelling in his own mix series, so naturally I asked him to create a LOST mix for me :D

I'm always curious what sort of inspiration my friends use for their mixes.  LOST in the Ether... what exactly comes to my mind when I think of that? The void... staring up at the sky, infinite movement, no precise location.... disappearing....the essence of the universe. 

"this is my 5th dowtempo podcast, thanks to Samaha for this chance to contribute a podcast as a guest. The podcast has highs and lows and is going to different dream phases, it will take you to another galaxy and in the end back to earth, enjoy the fly and i hope you like it." - Nico

Thanks for the mix Nico, smashing one indeed :) I hope you all enjoy!

L O S T in the Ether with Nico Tober

I'm sure many of you wonder where I got this idea for a mix series. LOST. Outer Space...The Ballet...in Kyoto. So many places I've gotten LOST in. Truth be told, in my journey to discover this new musical passion, I was struggling to find my identity, as most artists tend to do. I dove down the rabbit hole that was soundcloud, mix after mix, track after track, I started finding inspiration from all sorts of artists.

One artist in particular had quite an impact. It all started with those gosh darn Juicy Spring Peaches ;) This mix of his was the first I found, and I spent HOURS listening to it. "what is this tune?!, id please?!, bomb track! gah!!!" are some of the replies you can find on that mix from me, no doubt. This mix was instrumental in inspiring me to do my own mix series. Slowly but surely, I started putting these LOST mixes out, mainly just by myself, a way to release some creative energy. As it continued to gain popularity, I started getting messages from like-minded artists, wanting to share their LOST stories.

And then, full circle, much like life itself, Mr. Filip and his Juicy Peaches came forth from whatever land this traveling spiritual nomad was in, ready to guide all us LOST dancers into his soul.

Today I am EXTRA happy, as I get to present his wonderful LOST mix :)

"On a day to day basis I am involved with music, whether it is listening to music, getting the newest releases, making soundscapes, meditation music or producing tracks, music is completely ingrained into my life. The music I download for my DJ sets or guestmixes, I organize in different playlists. When I know I will be making a guestmix for some channel, I create a playlist and start moving tracks in there which I feel will fit the mood that I have in mind for the mix I am going to make. I always keep in mind what the channel is about, so that its vision as well as my idea come together at a point that I will find suitable for a guestmix. Since I play a broad variety of electronic music, there are many paths I can take. For podcasts I like to include tunes that I would not always play in the club, but that I really do like and feel they are fitting for listening in a home environment, whether it is on headphones, or speakers at home. It also gives me the opportunity to play a broader variety of tunes. For the episode of LOST I decided to go with a 'mid tempo' (between what I call downtempo and uptempo) mix, filled with a variety of emotional tunes. As my emotions are quite dynamic, this can be often seen in my music as well, from melancholic to happy, I love to put in the emotions I feel on that moment. I used to overthink my mixes when I was getting started as a dj, but nowadays I go with the flow of what my energy brings at that moment. In the weeks before, I have already started creating a playlist to choose from, so on the moment of crafting my mix, my imprint is already there." -Filip

2020 has been an eye opening year, revealing many things about our friends, family, and ourselves. One such thing I've noticed is how we all live in our own little bubbles.  All our connections, people we associate with, brands and companies we like and follow on social media, everything so rapidly consumed and absorbed day in and day out, it is only now in confinement where I've become more aware of this....

On a semi-related side note,  I'm a huge basketball fan. Any of my close friends would know this, so I've been ecstatic that the NBA has returned. Each player is living inside a literal bubble give the Pandemic. This basketball bubble has had my full attention these last 2 weeks... so I found it quite funny and a fantastic coincidence that a fellow DJ and Tony @aka_tony came to me with a LOST mix idea with the theme of "BUBBLES," Soap bubbles to be exact.  Thomas Williams alias @aka_tony started out as a DJ in Switzerland in the last century. I discovered him since he's played a few of my tracks in his mixes (thanks bud).  Since 2018 he spreads love and nice tunes as a resident at Radio GDS.FM in Zurich, where he has his own broadcasting slot. With Aka-Tapes Thomas runs his own podcast blog on Soundcloud. In the last couple of months he has crafted various podcasts for different channels around the globe. 

I was curious, so I asked him, how did this theme originate? His response was:

"After an eventful, beautiful and challenging decade in which people seemed to have found peace, determination and clarity, the situation changed abruptly. Almost from one day to the next, uncertainty, great challenges and suspicion returned. Everything and anything was questioned and the most adventurous theories made the rounds. People soon no longer knew who was friend or foe. Information was interpreted in a way that always protected their own interests. Objectivity and attentiveness were lost. To deal with this situation, creative people discovered the concept of the soap bubble. Soap bubbles with which one could wrap all the abstruse theories and theorists and gently send them on a journey of knowledge. So they discovered that the earth was not a flat disk after all and said also goodbye to many other absurd theories. So if you are desperate about all the uncertainties that will challenge you in the present and the near future, this mix will help you to wrap gruesome ideas and concepts into a soap bubble and send them on the much needed journey of knowledge."

Thanks for the mix, I hope you all enjoy it!

L O S T In Soap Bubbles By Aka-Tony

It's been quite a year for all of us. Locked away in our homes....unable to see friends or family....  It's hard to get LOST when you can't go anywhere. My inspiration is at an all time low, and as the days start melting into weeks, months, years.... How is it almost March again!? I still haven't processed the last one....

And yet, with how turbulent this last year has been, there have been little flashes of brilliance....flickers of hope, and even new friends made.  One such friend is this cool cat Moro.... a fellow downtempo savant from the Pacific Northwest.  We seem to have connected even moro--so (heheh) in this Pandemic, as we both figured out how to navigate the live stream world with our dj sets... and to keep the live music flames of passion burning when iconic music venues in our states closed down. Who is Moro...no....

Where is MORO? 

If you ask him, he probably won't be able to pinpoint his current location. Instead he'll tell you he's on an endless journey of self-discovery and self-awareness. What he will also tell you is that he feels he is on the right path because of one key behavioral change: self-love. 

Because of the way his brain works, MORO often gets LOST in his thoughts. These wayward wanderings take him to the highest heights of his creativity but also the lowest lows of self-doubt, stress, and Emotional Turbulence. So what does self-love have to do with any of this? Embracing the lows with self-compassion is just as important as celebrating the highs with self-adulation; acknowledging and lovingly accepting the bad helps us appreciate the good.

In this mix, MORO explores the ups and downs and invites you to do the same. Enjoy this rollercoaster ride of groovy sounds packed with all kinds of emotions. Enjoy the mix.
