Bloom Loops

Lithuanian musician and sound artist Marija Rasa, aka emer, is a master of texture and tone. In her recent album 'sea salt', she creates a mesmerizing palette of rustles, clicks and clangs, that spiral in freefall. Layered vocals are fragmented and compressed into the most minute of spaces, transmitted directly to the ear as whispered messages.

Her somewhere mix takes a cinematic, expansive approach to composition, with Janet Cardiff's potent narration exerted as a guiding tether. Marija expertly weaves through layers of abstracted ambient and dismantled techno, concocting an undulating pace that stretches moments infinitely, resulting in deep, resonating echoes. As the parts come together, fortuitous sounds create a spine-tingling euphoria, glistening in their warm and blissful transience.

This month we are delighted to welcome a dear friend into the Bloom Loops hot seat. 

Tolly Odd takes us on a gentle and misty journey through beat-less soundscapes, that wander and soar, drift and absorb. 

Recorded live at Avalon Cafe for the May ’24 edition of Rebloom. 

Thanks Olly xxx

BLOOMLOOPS 006 | Tolly Odd - June 2024

We round up the debut year of Bloom Loops, and kick off the next chapter in 2025 with a b2b from Rebloom residents JJ & Tolly Odd. 

Settle down for 4 hours of blissful, drifting ambient, downtempo, and field recordings. Recorded live at the Sauna Social Club as part of the Rebloom takeover back in September 2024. 

A perfect way to ease you in to 2025, and soothe the body and soul following the festive period. 

Rebloom will be returning to SSC on 10th Jan with Dan Thorman

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 🛸

As the sun returns and the days lengthen, the urge to travel comes again.
This episode we hit the open road in a camper van with our best friends,  flasks of punch and some canned goods.
