As a region, Southeast Asia plays host to a colourful electronic music scene, rich with diverse sounds, landscapes and audiences. In recent years, cross-pollination and collaboration have become important facets of this scene, with inspiration and energy transmitting regularly between cities and crews. Central to many of these exchanges has been Bangkok-based DJ, producer and label-head @sunjuhargun, whose distinctive blend of vibrant, sophisticated psychedelia and the natural sounds of his surroundings have seen him grace stages in clubs, caves, forests, warehouses and castles across Japan, Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam and onwards into Europe. 

His current project, @siamesetwinsrecords, also finds a solid foundation in pan-Asian connections. A platform to explore old-world chants and ceremonial percussion, the label hosts many of Sunju's own works, including Bollywood-inspired acid made as Mogambo and wildly meditative Thai temple drone music as Khun Fluff. 

Sunju’s Patterns of Perception 99 is a recording from a recent visit to Japan - more specifically from his appearance at a Transcendence party at Circus in Tokyo. 
Humming with psychedelic movement, this set finds Sunju channelling the intimacy of the venue to great effect, intuitively balancing nostalgic groove, sweaty exotica and cutting-edge trippiness. As we descend further into the mix, it's impossible to not feel a tightening of focus as spiralling energies shimmer and release. 

"Anything could happen, everything was possible, all is connected" 
- Sunju's perfectly apt before/during/after summation.

We are delighted to announce the first vinyl and digital release of our label: Lost in Translation! Out on December 6th, Anthroposcene’s atmospheres were written and composed across studios in Georgia, the Czech Republic, Canada, the Netherlands, the United States, and Belgium – our home.

Anthroposcene was built track by track, providing a space for each artist to draw inspiration from the last, and continue the story of the release in their own musical voice. The result is a sonic tapestry reflecting the talents and styles of the hand-picked selection of artists we were lucky to have join us on this project. The release will be accompanied by a full-length short story inspired by the music and artwork.

The line-up includes people we have long looked up to, and it is a cool moment for us to announce @saphileaum, @fred-czital, @humanspacemachine, @martinou3000, @owlfromdeepspace, Moon Patrol (@gilleswasserman & @irina-kotik) and @orcasilent as Lost in Translation’s first contributing artists.

A special thanks to @azidax for the mastering work, and Ohneweil for the artwork.

Last week, Malaysian born @differentshadess warmed up the main stage of Harmony’s 8th anniversary with a melting-mind opening set. She is best known for her precise mixing that waves through genre-bending selections. 

Jumping back to that moment, she recorded an excerpt that catches her essence, musical spectrum & energy that radiates through her own sounds.

A set full of high-tech sounds, psychedelic rhythms and deep atmospherics. 

Dive in & get lost.

Too Soon - Yellow Forest (SO001)(out now)

From Naarm's Zara, a seismic dawn to the new year. Halftime rhythms tremble, atmospheres kiss the wind, valleys of unbridled emotion nestle in-between. A colossal mix of sincere gravity, cleaving a path forward, brimming with new light. Thanks Zara!

Sure Thing Mix 119: Zara

Beautiful deep brooding grooves & soundscapes coming from Belgian producer & DJ @abrehme for number #117. A mainstay in the Brussels scene, since the age of twenty he's been a regular guest at Fuse, and was a resident at Technoon. He is known for his hypnotic, atmospheric & all immersive style. 

Having seen him play twice at Waking Life, both times being blown away, I'm thrilled to have him as part of the series. A perfectly fitting mix for Animalia.

Thanks for the mix Arnaud!

Landing on Delsin with a highly developed strain of emotionally inquisitive electro, Reedale Rise (@reedalerise) presents a new four-track EP which builds on his growing reputation for beautifully rendered headphone escapism. Since first appearing in 2015, Liverpool-based Simon Keat has released on such respected outlets as Frustrated Funk and 20:20 Vision, while last year he released This Beautiful Life, an LP for Assemble Music. From the twinkling melodic mystery of 'Littoral Zone' to the playful synth flourishes of 'Globular', 'Driftwood's plush, expressive layered lines to 'Artemia's deep-diving introspection, this latest release confirms Keat as a leader in the field of contemporary electro, delivering tracks with pristine production but crucially placing feeling as the priority ahead of the considerable technical finesse.
