The NTS Breakfast Show w/ Flo 180722

This is the fourth volume in my Geography of the Mind Series, focusing on private-issued Canadian music. For this instalment I gathered a mixed bag, but tried to sustain a pensive, melancholic mood throughout. The mix weaves together psychedelic downer folk, emotive electronics, environmental ambient, tape collage, and dank & dubby new wave into a blue-hued tapestry for despondent dreamers.

Prepare for an electrifying journey into the realm of experimental electronic music as @freybenedikt takes the reins of our channel. With a knack for curating strange yet captivating sounds, this mix promises to defy conventions and immerse listeners in a sonic landscape unlike any other.

Tactile ambient and slowmo techno converges in Eden Aurelius's (@edenaurelius) newest meditations.  

'This mix is a continuation of an exercise of re-contextualizing music across genres while still retaining a pulse, or central rhythm that is emphasized throughout the listening experience. I find it imperative that my mixes ask something of myself, technically and musically'.

Every time I make a 'mix', I try to set myself the challenge of exploring new musical realms. Lately, I've been finding comfort in this type of zone. I'll stop short of naming it, and leave that to you perhaps?

’00s CD-inspired minimal and techno from Matthew Kent

"a few tracks [are] from ‘00s era CDs i’ve found forgotten about in a weird/cool CD only store in Sheffield that has that satisfying ex-HMV racking you can flip through at high speed. no greater feeling than leaving there after an hour with a little envelope sized brown paper bag containing a saint etienne cd, some terrible/great chillout compilation, and a ken ishii thing you’ve not heard before for all of £10."

This mix is the live recording of my set at Free Movements on the 28th of September 2019. I really enjoyed playing this set, sat in a cozy dark room, with my friend Hanzo’s psychedelic visuals swirling on a mesh backdrop behind me.  

This is the first time I've played a Deep Mind Music set out where it felt like everyone was totally dissolved in the music. There's times where it's more appropriate for ambient music to wash into the background of conversations, such as in a chill out space at a rave, but for what I'm aiming to do with this music, I feel it connects more deeply with total absorption into the sound.

I realised there’s three Pete Namlook tracks in this mix, which is a strong indication of how much his music means to me. Including an all time favourite, ‘Calm Box’ which he made with Atom Heart in 1996 as Jet Chamber. It sounds like gently pulsating orbs of light flickering in an infinite expanse of darkness. Pete is a truly incredible artist, whose otherworldly music has touched the lives of so many people. A spirit our world is lesser without, RIP. If you don’t know Pete Namlook’s music or amazing label FAX, I couldn’t recommend having a dig highly enough.

I have to say, I’ve been feeling kind of disconnected from the world this past month. Introspective and far away. Ambient music is something I retreat into when I’m feeling insular, and it means more to share this mix now than when I recorded it in September. I hope this mix gives you a space to breathe, to dissolve into a hologram of sound, and carry you through whatever you’re going through. 💙

@janefitz and I really do enjoy doing our B2B sessions. There's a scant amount of planning that goes in to these other than maybe an overarching idea of what we want to start and end with, and maybe a couple Discogs links for reference points mixed in. But that is literally it. We trust each other, and we're confident we can do it, and do it damn well. As always, she's on the audiences' right, I'm on the left, and we go one-for-one the entire time. No escape!!

This recording from October of 2019 at OHM in Berlin is her and I opening the party from zero and doing six hours of tension building hypnotics. Many thanks to the @patternsofperception crew for allowing us to do this, and for letting us use the Rane 2016 even though you've never touched one before.

Enjoy!!
