2DEEP returns @perila b2b @specialguest-dj recorded live at climate of fear 24 april 2022

2DEEP 'Live at Climate of Fear' ⓜⓘⓧ ⓪③⑥

@hystericalloveproject

Discovering last year’s Hysterical Love Project’s self-released debut album “Endless Bliss Weekender” was a personal highlight. Resulting in a release on Knekelhuis as Ike Zwanikken at the ‘and felt like...’ compilation. Hysterical Love Project is the project from the love couple Brooklyn & Ike. In which they craftfully compose a refreshing modern take on the slow sensual realm of Triphop, Ambient and hazy shoegaze. 

They will release their first physical album soon on the amazing label Motion Ward. And there is an unreleased upcoming track in here. Bliss.

Frog Of Earth on pod duties before the Christmas break. 
Known for producing ‘Intelligent frog music’, the Dublin based artist serves up a 40 min mix of Downtempo, ambient/experimental, folk, and hip hop.  
You can catch some of Mel Keane’s intricate and elegant production as an album over on wherethetimegoes. It’s amazing and we fully recommend you take a listen. 
Small interview below too>>

AM: Hey hey! What you been up to recently?

Hello! I've recently relocated to a small town in the midlands of Ireland after spending three years in Portugal. Missing my pals back there but have been absolutely loving the cold weather and living outside of the city. Back in a proper routine of working on music for the first time in years, so finally gonna finish some projects I've been working on for a long time. Also spending a lot of time walking and cycling around. I got a new bike that's like a hybrid between a touring bike and bmx last week, it is truly the dream whip!
 
AM: How and where did you record the mix? Was there any theme etc behind it?

It's all over the place in terms of genre and mood, so I suppose the only theme is just that I really like all of the music in it. Unintentionally, about half of the music in it is made by friends actually, I have only copped that now. 

I spent a few days here just going through the stuff people had sent me, my youtube likes, recent Bandcamp purchases, etc, then just started putting it all together in a session, collage-style. I'll start with maybe 100 tracks and whittle it down. I think about fun/interesting transitions more than a linear trajectory. It probably doesn't sound like it to whoever is listening to it but I spend a pretty absurd amount of time arranging these things haha. I can only manage to make one or two per year. It would be amazing if I could apply this level of concentration to working on my own music.

AM: What have you got planned for 2023? 

Frog-wise, I've got an LP nearly done, which will be out on wherethetimegoes at some point next year. I've also got a single coming out on a great label based in NYC in January, but I'm not sure whether I can openly announce it yet. In any case, I'm excited about that. I have a couple of shows in the UK in Spring too.

Apart from that, around this time last year, a group of us who are loosely affiliated with wherethetimegoes got together for a week in Mayo in the West of Ireland and recorded lots of music over the course of a week. Seán Being has spent the year extracting an LP from the sessions and it's gonna be out soon. 

Life-wise I'm going to spend the next few years learning construction and carpentry with the hope that I can partially escape the laptop prison in the future. Dreaming of building a little house or studio somewhere heavenly. Time will tell.

That's all for now I think, thanks for having me :)

Living Room n°47 ~ @kingsofty

q. is there a story behind the mix? how did it come together?

This mix is a collage of music from my community. It's quite a reflective mix for me, and I chose tracks that I felt held me in a suspended state of thought or existentialism. I think this is a consequence of my difficulties in dealing with changes in my life that I felt not quite ready for. The mix is a way for me to stay a little longer in the place was before.


q. in your opinion, what would be the ideal circumstances to enjoy your mix?

It's good to listen to it alone in headphones, maybe while you walk around your neighbourhood. I would say it will be a bit annoying as background music, and it suits more deep listening. It would be cool to listen to loud in your living room with a couple of close friends too, but it should be people you don’t mind a limited amount of conversation with as there are parts I hope you would zone out together in your thoughts.


q. describe a favourite object in your living room...

I would say my bedroom is more my living room these days as it's the brightest room in my house and it has all my favourite objects in it. It's really hard to say a favourite as my room is made up of little shrine-like clusters of art objects, all of which I love.

Just because it's right here on my desk next to me: This roughly A5-sized wooden board with Green, Orange, Brown, Blue, Black, and Yellow play-dough pressed onto it in a kind of abstract landscape painting by Isaac Rayneau. I really love how you can still see the fingerprints of the artist in the play-dough if you look closely. Over time the play-dough has started to dry out and crack so you can see through to the board behind. The ridges made from the pressing of the fingertips have gathered dust which is impossible to get rid of completely, because of the subtle details like the fingernail crescents and other tiny details that I have become obsessed with preserving, precisely as it was given to me. The artwork has been travelling with me for about 8 years


q. are you working on any projects right now (music or not music)?

I am working on some more visual art currently. I was going through pictures from my phone camera taken this year and began turning them into large poster formats. I'm quite a sentimental person as the above might have indicated already so I often do this as a kind of time stamping for myself. It ends up being quite cathartic to produce artwork like this and helps me feel okay to move on in the same way this mix has done for me.

Introduce yourself? Pronouns? Where do you currently reside? 

Hello, I’m Jake Muir (he/him). I make music and DJ. I’m from LA, spent several years in Seattle, and currently living in Berlin. 

What sound would you listen to… if it was the only thing you could listen to 24/7?

Ice melting 

Describe in detail your favorite place in the club?

I tend to situate myself in the middle so I get the proper stereo spread. If I forget my earplugs, in the back. If a friend is playing, I try to be closer to the front.

Best gig of your life so far?

Honcho Campout. It was really special all around.

What is the theme song of your mind on 100mg edible?

Wichita Forever



If you could transfer all your knowledge from what you do now into something completely different, what would it be and why?

If I wasn’t working in sound, I’d probably be into mixology. There’s a lot of parallels between making cocktails and music. Some people referred to Philip Jeck as an alchemist. 

Longest you've stayed up and why?

It might be when I played through Metal Gear Solid 3 in one go, 24 hrs, over a thanksgiving break back in high school. 

What is your most recent favorite DJ mix and why?

https://soundcloud.com/ziurinhell/now-now-refuge-worldwide-w-ziur-ran-cap-duoi

This guest mix from Vietnamese band Rắn Cạp Đuôi_, on my friend Ziur’s Refuge Worldwide program, might be my favorite mix of the year. It’s super wild and kinda plays with the idea of what a mix can be.


Any advice to upcoming DJs/producers? 

Develop your own voice, even if it’s super niche, and don’t be afraid to take risks. Think about your own background and identity and what you can bring to the table with that. 

What would you like to see in the future for the dance community?

More chillout rooms, genre/style hopping, and care for one another.

Fact Mix 892: Nexcyia (Jan '23)

Full tracklist and feature here: https://shrptyp.co/sharpfm007

A soft downtempo mix from one of NYC's finest techno DJs. In a post-pandemic New York that has witnessed an explosion of new talent, Emma Olson, who goes by Umfang, is by now a recognized veteran who is well-respected for her fluency in techno – and not just as a DJ, but also as someone engaged with its political history and contemporary social contexts. Her psychedelic all-vinyl sets move the body AND mind and are proof that the true skill of the DJ isn’t necessarily what one plays, but how.

“I have been wanting to make a slower mix for a long time which is hilariously challenging for me coming from mostly playing techno,” says Umfang. “I make subdued sparse music and have had a difficult time closing the gap between soundscapes I'm drawn to and the music I play in the club.” 

The result is the sound of a bridge. “This is a reflection of some intentional digging for downtempo, a desire to feature the music my friends are making now that excites me, and the one-off ambient tracks from techno artists that often don't find a place in the club.” Considering these new tempos and textures, the variety here is cohesive, and it also feels intimate — the sound of an artist earnestly building out new comfort zones.
