that's a superb combo of the 2 tracks 💖

Boorloo/Perth's @mikemidnight has kindly compiled some tracks that have been inspiring his recent productions - all bursting with bliss and imagination. This is some of his fav downtempo from over the years, in particular those which embody a sense of safeness in darkness.

On the releases front, Mike has a track coming out with https://soundcloud.com/theory-therapy later this year and may also be self-releasing an EP :)

Here, he's aimed to gather classic downtempo songs from the period which embody a genuine sense of humanity and honesty. More than merely nostalgic, this mix recalls connection, community and all that is beautiful and shared <333

☼ Pairs perfectly with late autumn sun ☼

Brooklynite @benbondy elevates ambient to a whole new level. He's done so over the course of more than 12 albums in just two years. Each one is like a dairy - a capturing of intimate feelings that translate into sensitive sounds that are subtle yet moving. He occasionally veers into downtempo and IDM, and has worked on collaborative projects like Blessed Kitty and xphresh.

This week's mix is a deep dive into his edgeless world, where half-heard vocals drift in and out, cosmic dust glistens in a shard of light and smeared pads disappear off to infinity. The hazy sounds manage to be both romantic and psychedelic, insular yet hopeful. It is ambient but stuffed with such detail and texture that it plays out with the vivid imagery of a movie in your mind rather than just a soothing sonic wallpaper. Headphones are essential for this one.

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.

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 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.

Sunday Mix: Perila

"Foggy downtempo atmospheric mix to feel and dissociate for a second in a warm fog. Big floor energy as I like to call these stoner moods."

Perila is a St. Petersburg-born, Berlin-based sound and visual artist, DJ and performer who works to explore the sensitive borderlines and depths of subtle matter. Her music explores thick narratives with shifting moods and textures, allowing the listener to drift through a rich psychedelic sound palette. Perila’s passion for radio led her to curate and design Berlin Community Radio, where she hosted monthly for four years, and to co-found Russian online station radio.syg.ma which specializes in experimental soundscapes. In addition to showcasing her unique ventures through ambient music, her show has also welcomed the likes of Andrew Pekler, Dynamo Dreesen, and Tomoko Sauvage. Perila also curates an online community WET (Weird Erotic Tension), which explores ideas of sonic sexuality in mixing spoken word, poetry, ASMR and field recordings. Since 2020 Perila has been involved with the musical projects Aseptic Stir, LOG, and Critical Amnesia.

weightless soul abstractions from Gi Gi (@keptmale)

“A continuation of a meditation on the voice and its expressive spectrum first explored in my ‘Pumiced Voice’ mix for Perila’s WET platform in 2020, this time filtered through a more contemporary lens. The through-line of this mix is songs that combine the immediacy of pop music with the space of ambient; these two seemingly disparate genres often share a sense of intimacy and emotional heft, and that quality is what i tried to dial in on here.”
