@mitaminelab is an artist-run contemporary sound archive and curatorial project by Alma G. Ferrer 'Mim' @mimilk - an art historian and culture curator currently working and living in Mexico City.

◍ What is the inspiration and vision behind your work as Mim and Mitamine Lab?
▹ Inspiration comes from culture in general and different forms of representations in the artistic field, contemplating music as the intersections of culture, politics, and economics, but also as an empowering composition that can be translated to colors, forms and different kinds of emotions. 

◍ What are some of your utopian dreams?
▹ Would be lovely to imagine a world where the creative labor is a main source of income, yeah, we know that art has a lot of interests involved, in specific the art market with problems related to shady businesses, tax shelters, scams and money laundering —between other more polemic situations—, but we also know that art has the power to change the world as an independent structure that operates focused on the expression of human creativity. One of my utopian dreams of course is to live in a world where society is guided by romantic impulses, consciousness and community building, as Rudolf Steiner says, as thinkers ready to explore experiences of the inner, psychic and soul life; a dream of liberation.

◍ Can you share a little bit about what you’ve included in this mix?
▹ As a selector I always enjoy to mix different types of music to create a very specific soundscape, going from folk and sweet ambient music to the most saturated avant garde noise. This is an ode to the amazing existing potential in human knowledge and the processes of transformation we are starting to experience. I’m starting with some 70’s krautrock and some contemporary ambient gems by producers like Zeitgeist & Tucceri, Nikolaienko, Lynn Avery & Cole Pulice. You will also listen to one of my favorite genres of all time, opera, including a track called ‘Nezahuacoyotl’ by Melesio Morales (1838-1908) father of Latin America Opera. This mix also includes Ariel Kalma, Ground, HERBARIUM, Gaël Segalen, Mira Calix, and more. Hope you like :)

◍ Any exciting things in the near future for yourself and Mitamine Lab?
▹ I’m not really sure, I was working on an EP but I have been busy being adult and the inspiration has gone, I’m starting a collaborative second hand store (just digital for the moment)… the main idea is to reflect about recycling and processes of material exchange. 
This year I've been exploring materials cause I’m planning to produce some artworks by myself and other talented artists (currently working in the funding and resources to make that happen, hope so).

Motion Sickness | 16.07.22

PAIJATA turns 2 years old! 

25 months of two-hour broadcasts (only dropping out once, in January, I think it can be forgiven), over 50 hours of music. To date, this project is easily the one I'm most proud of in over 8 years of making radio shows. It's been far from easy, and many times I've considered leaving this project behind, but I'm happy with where PAIJATA stands at it's second year of existence. 

From this month onwards I'll be hosting mini-mixes from friends and those I admire in the field of "ambient" music, and I can't wait to share those with you. Thanks for staying close throughout this journey — I hope the next year is the best to come. 

For the anniversary show, I selected a perhaps broader range of music, still trying to blur those already blurry lines between club music and music for different states of listening.

Abstrakce presents a two-hour mix focused on modern ambient and sounds with a very special guest on the second hour: Les Halles. 

French exoticist Baptiste Martin has been crafting fragile pastures of pan flute, field recordings, and stargazing keys as Les Halles since 2012, inspired by a formatively nostalgic night alone “watching the summer sky, thinking of all the mystery”. 

Opening hour by Abstrakce head honcho Joni Kosmos.
