"Forever"

I've been thinking about this artist mix for a while and settled down to it following the release of Dimensional Space.    This mix follows an interpretation of more 'beatless & ambient' soundscapes, "Ice Stars Sunlight" recorded about 5 years ago using CDj's.

Since then I've learned to mix with vinyl and here have focussed on more techno based flavours.   Enjoy, share and leave a comment if you like.  And for the audiophiles this is a WAV download.

SPHEREmental 10 - Andre Lemont

Recorded live at the first Rebloom on Saturday 11th May, a party series in London that celebrates deeper minded music. The first instalment was hosted at Avalon in South Bermondsey on a scorcher of a sunny day. 

This set was recorded quite early on in the programming, and an opportunity to transition from the ambient soundscapes played by the ever charming Tolly Odd, and try to lay a foundation for Shoal, Laura BCR and Ario who played later on in the evening. 

As always, made with love. 

Hope you enjoy xxx

"Contrasts between traditional atmospheres and sounds that evoke something more classical, with glitchy and luminous melodies that transport you to a city of the future. An amalgam with a refined, aesthetic quality that defines an influence."

Menhir is a music and art collective formed by singer Coco Moya (@mediococo) and producer Iván Cebrián, based in Spain. In between contemporary electronics, ambient, and minimalism music. Menhir creates immersive musical experiences by combining analog synthesis soundscapes, ethereal voices, and layered sound processing.

Menhir's note: 

This mix is the result of exploring some of our musical influences. It features a couple of surprises, such as a recording we made of Gregorian chant at the monastery of Silos, a renowned site for this musical form across the peninsula. It's quite fascinating and beautiful how it blends into the mix with absolutely contemporary music. In essence, we were seeking music for listening and music as a form of knowledge.

Tracklist:

1.- James Holden - In the end you'll know
2.- Sofi Páez - New beginnings
3.- Canto gregoriano, Monasterio de Silos 2021, grabación de Iván Cebrián
4.- Loscil - Lawrence english - Black
5.- Ylia - Nuances of care
6.- David Lang - Just (excerpt)
7.- Aphex Twin - Stone in focus
8.- Susumu Yokota - Tobiume
9.- Rival Consoles - Visions of self
10.- Four tet - Leila Came around and we watched a video
11.- Steve Hillage - Garden of Paradise
12.- Stars of the Lid - Requiem for Dying mothers, part 2
13.- Tonada de Luna llena - Simón Díaz

"In the summer heat, a refreshing escape awaits. Icy winds and swirling blizzards envelop us in cold, revealing serene drones and a tranquil, snowy landscape with a still lake under a vast, white expanse. Abstract rhythms and distant voices weave through, culminating in delicate frequencies that leave us in a peaceful, frosty reverie."

Recorded at Espacio Perpendicular (@espacio-perpendicular) during the temple chptr. 4 † musical bond for listeners † 29·06·2024 w/ ‡ camu ‡ oisatsana ‡ ameeva ‡ hipersincronía hipnagógica (dj) ‡ josephine' soundscapes.

For the past 20 years, Jorge Ortiz de Pinedo, known by his moniker STBL (@stable-mechanism), has been developing his work in the realms of electronic music and sound art. With beginnings deeply rooted in the most elusive and daring music, he has strived to maintain a stylistic coherence, oscillating between distinctly minimalist approaches and more "musical" ones, always balancing sobriety and rhetoric.

Author's note: My proposal for Temple clearly reflects all the paths I have been exploring in recent years, utilising field recordings, generative synthesis, and more classical ambient patterns. As is customary, each live performance by STBL is ephemeral and unique to each occasion, making this recording a snapshot of the present and a memory of my appearance at the marvellous Espacio Perpendicular.

#temple_for_listeners is an event dedicated to attentive listening and static dance, curated by Camu and Josephine's Soundscapes for Espacio Perpendicular.

Avenue Red turned up to Affinity at Eastern Bloc Records in Manchester's Northern Quarter back on the 17th July 2024... what a night! Event founder Max Howard AKA Maxxitrax had just kicked off a delightfully enchanting warm-up set and our ever-trusty recorder was plugged into the mixer, soundchecked and activated as quickly as possible... sadly the first few very dazzling and trippy records were missed from the recording, but what was captured 'till the end of his set was just beautiful. Max is clearly a selector's selector with top drawer technical skills. Proper solid intro vibes for a vibrant, hot summers evening session on Stevenson Square, which also later featured Tribe, Damo B and DJ Mindbender. And finally... here it is!

"This is a recording of my opening set from my last Affinity party held at Eastern Bloc. I wanted to use the opportunity to play records that I wouldn't get to play in a peak time or closing slot that I will usually play in. I had picked some records out that fit this narrative but turned up without a game plan. Luckily I managed to work things out so that I could play some soul tracks to start out with and then build tension up gradually. I really enjoyed the process, hopefully the listeners will enjoy it too.

Tracks from the likes of Sade, Pure Silk, Manual, The Stone Roses, Rennie Foster, Autechre - and labels such as Subject Detroit, Novamute, Peacefrog, Tresor..." Maxxitrax, September 2024

Keep your friends close, https://soundcloud.com/bas-dobbelaer must have thought when he asked a few gifted producers to remix his recent ambient work. Five tracks from his beautiful and intimate Binding Elements-album (2023) were pushed in new directions by befriended producers and colleagues such as Moon Patrol, Will Oirson and https://soundcloud.com/leifsounds.

The latter turns Submerge into a melodic minimalist piece which pays homage to both Susumo Yokota and Steve Reich. Swiss-born producer https://soundcloud.com/benkaczor goes 4x4 on Irregular, pushing the dreamy original towards Giegling territory in a good and meditative way. 

https://soundcloud.com/dwaalgast108 extrapolates the dub elements in the title track Binding Elements while Brooklyn duo Moon Patrol takes things even deeper on their bass heavy remix of Rise. Closing track Ray gets a wonderful sun-bleached ambient treatment by the talented https://soundcloud.com/willoirson. All five remixes breathe new life in the original versions while retaining their unique magic. That’s what friends are for.

As the final rusty leaves tumble from the trees, nights draw in around us, and the cloak of darkness drifts towards our doors - we welcome the inexorable and unique talents of Lynne to the Bloom Loops hot seat. 

Now based in London, Lynne brings a truly unique and individual sound to her mixes, weaving together the outer realms of techno, experimental dance music, and drum 'n' bass with textural layers that twist together genres and pull dancers in all the right directions.

This hour-long recording seamlessly blends experimental soundscapes, with steppy 140bpm groovers. With unpredictable breaks and evolving soundscapes, listeners are invited to reflect, move, and lose themselves in the quiet beauty of autumn’s final days. Ideal for late-night introspection or a walk under the dimming sky. See it as a quiet goodbye to the season’s golden hues

Lynne will be joining the rest of the Rebloom crew on Friday 15th November, for the next Rebloom party at The Glove that Fits, so come on down.

Fhionbarra has reignited the Bloom Loops mix series for 2025 with an intriguing exploration at 160 BPM. 

This first mix of the year blends deep dub, driving drum and bass rhythms, and pulsating techno grooves, incorporating leftfield, experimental sounds and field recordings to beguile, groove and soothe. 

A journey through experimental beats and intricate textures, as always Fhionbarra's selection is a forward-thinking and genre-blurring ride. Perfect for those who seek the unexpected within the realms of bass-heavy, polyrhythmic music.

Thank you Barry 

Enjoy xx

A celebration of the most vibrant spring in recent memory. 

A lucid dream-like journey, recorded beside a stream in the beauty of the Calder Valley. Resident of ambient leaning artistic collective 'resonance', adam presents a glimpse of resonance in West Yorkshire for our springtime Bloom Loops sonic journey. 

Beside a quiet and peaceful spring between Todmorden and Hebden Bridge, adam has incorporated field recordings of 'the pond', blending these with a selection of deep listening ambient tracks, and otherworldly field recordings of springtime. The running waters of the valley, the birds, bees, and a bunch of friends.

adam is a key member of the resonance crew - a network of gifted souls who produce journeys between light, sound, and setting with their local community as well as showcasing the gifted artisans and the magic of the valley to events further afield, most recently in London and Manchester.

For this special edition of the Bloom Loops podcast, we're honoured to welcome Ario — founder and curator of the acclaimed Astral Industries label. Widely respected for its impeccable curation and timeless releases, Astral Industries has carved out a unique space in the world of ambient and experimental electronic music, with each release offering a meticulously crafted sonic journey.

In this recording, Ario brings that same curatorial sensibility to the decks, guiding us on a deep and expansive journey. It begins with a psychedelic abduction to another world, and as the mix gradually unfolds you emerge into an expansive world of progressive and vintage tech house before dissolving into deep, swirling tribal techno. True to Ario's refined aesthetic, it is a set that balances both introspection and propulsion. 

Recorded in Hong Kong, at a secret location, this mix is a teaser for the upcoming Rebloom event on Saturday 17th May—where Ario will return to the Rebloom booth for our birthday celebrations, with a special closing set. 

Lock in, drift away and enjoy! Take me to your leader 🛸
