i-D favourites '1080p' are continuing to push good music with their next release from Perfume Advert in the form of a fine slice of low slung, 110 BPM techno, blurring boundaries between house and techno with a dash of RnB groove. A new name to many, Perfume Advert takes on our Slumber Session and let us join in on his downtime. Get ready for the thrills and spills of Perfume Advert's dream world...

"In all honesty, dreaming for me is usually a pretty mundane affair.  Pedestrian activities like going to work or heading down to the local shop for a pint of milk are regular features in my dreams.  Sometimes there might be some short-lived conflict involved, maybe an argument with a friend or a frustrating encounter with a photocopier.  Seriously, my dreams are dull. When I was a bit younger I used to have regular, intense nightmares, usually brought on through stress.  But even then these nightmares were deeply rooted in reality.  I've never had fantastical, bizarre dreams.  Only banal repetition of my everyday life."

Living Room n°50 ~ @djbirdbath

q. pls introduce yourself
a. My name is Ian Baxter and I produce music as DJ Birdbath and am currently based in the sunny top of New Zealand's south island.

q. is there a story behind the mix?
Not as such, I just tried to go with my first impulse for the song choice.

q. what's the best way to enjoy your mix?
I reckon it's best enjoyed in a comfy place with some headphones maybe on a bus or train.

q. describe a favorite object in your living room...
Definitely the pile of comfy pillows a friend made covers for from an old wall hanging. I've been making lots of music and this mix whilst nestled amongst them.

q. are you working on any projects right now (music or not music)?
I'm always working on bits of music and samples and am very excited for my EP to come out on APPX: ( @appendixfiles ) on the 24th of March.

Living Room n°50 ~ DJ Birdbath

The Album tells us about the colonization of cloned humans of the future and about modernity's attempt to help nature and finds itself in the beginnings, when archaic man coexisted naturally with extraordinary creatures of the world, flora and fauna. Everything is hopeful if you breathe......

Taken from the album "Retrograde Amnesia" by Xu & Oberlin, released on Slow Tone Collages:


The record delves into the haunting history of the former psychiatric hospital in Colorno (Parma – Italy, in use from 1873 to 1978). Titled "Retrograde Amnesia”, it explores the lives of patients who were once confined to the institution, many of whom were forgotten by society. 
The hospital, which is now abandoned, was once home to over a thousand patients, including those who were deemed "dangerous" or "marginalized" by society. Among them were prostitutes, alcoholics, vagabonds, and even small children. The psychiatrists who worked at the institution were free to experiment with new treatments, including practices such as electroshock and frontal lobotomy. While these doctors saw themselves as innovators and experimenters, many of the patients were no longer considered people. One of the devastating consequences of the treatments administered at the hospital was retrograde amnesia, which is the loss of memories of past events. Many patients who underwent these treatments were left with gaps in their memory, unable to recall important moments of their lives, as their identities were fragmented and their shared human experiences obliterated. Forgotten by society and stripped of their own sense of self, they were consigned to the shadows of history. 
"Retrograde Amnesia" is a haunting and emotional record that aims to shed light on the lives of these forgotten patients. Through the use of ambient soundscapes and atmospheric textures, the music captures the sense of isolation and despair that many of the patients must have felt. Enveloped in the echoes of empty corridors and abandoned rooms, one easily feels consumed by the weight of the lives that once occupied these desolate spaces.

London-born, LA-based Ryan Griffin began @astrangelyisolatedplace a decade ago as a manifestation of his love for collecting and sharing music. The project soon grew into a vinyl label and a community of artists sharing a reverence for a diverse and esoteric range of genres, from ambient to electronica, modern classical to techno. Artists releasing on the label currently include Merrin Karras aka @chymera, Arovane (@arovane-1), Leandro Fresco & Rafael Anton Irisarri (@irisarri), @purl, and @markusguentner.

This atmospheric selection incorporates into A Strangely Isolated Place's signature sound additional elements of the trance and house music genres on which Ryan cut his DJing teeth. An organic approach to selection and mixing ensures a richly layered collage that manages to take some startling turns while remaining effortlessly cohesive throughout.

Patterns of Perception 22 - A Strangely Isolated Place

For the full feature and more information, see: http://asip.me/2yOI2tD

The goal of this feature and accompanying mix was to create a journey of escapism and comfort. Whereas the previous Portals feature, ‘Music For Sleeping’ could be deemed very similar, the approach here focused on keeping an attentive layer/s that ended up being more pure to Brian Eno’s definition of ambient music: “As ignorable as it is interesting”, which actually aligns very well with the definition of what it means to be mindful; "the quality or state of being conscious or aware of something”.

Tracklist:
01. Biosphere - As The Sun Kissed The Horizon [Biophon]
02. Ourson - Mountain, Calm Day, Birds, Saw [Self]
