Donovan's Summer Promo Mix

This month is a special one, and our first ever tandem interview — joining me for a Freerotation special are the festival’s founders @Steevio and @Suzybee. 

Influenced by the free festival movement around the UK in the 1990s, Steevio and Suzy created Freerotation, an annual gathering of music and arts which now takes place in Baskerville Hall, Wales, and has, since its inception in the mid 2000s, become one of the scene’s best loved festivals. Kept relatively small and amongst friends and friends of friends, Freerotation is known for its thoughtful curation of both DJs, live acts, and VJs, and its intimate, familial setting. 

In this conversation, Steevio, Suzy and I get into the festival’s early days and its direction and curation today, plus their own personal histories in art and music, and their distinctive creative philosophies.

Up next in our mix series is Berlin based Dutch-Italian recording and performing artist Grand River (@grandriver). Interview (excerpt) down below.

MFM: Hi Aimée. In the musical landscape nowadays it often seems to be all about the final result (or product even) rather than the process and path before it. With your music it feels that it's more about the process of making rather than the final outcome. Where does your profound interest for experimenting with audio and composing come from?
 
GR: Nice to hear that you see it that way and to know that it may be perceived like this from the outside as well. The work itself and how we experience the process is what matters most. It’s not always easy to be mindful about how everything is created along the way. The end result or end product is important, but if you don’t enjoy the process of how you get there, I don’t think it makes much sense to even undertake the journey. And of course this applies to many aspects of life.
 
MFM: You've got a rich experience in doing technical work for and at radio stations and with other kinds of media. Did you have someone to teach you all the ins & outs of audio and technical production?
 
GR: Most of the technical work I learned directly through working as I did not go to any audio school to study sound design or audio engineering. When I started to work as an audio engineer for radio stations and other media outlets 13-14 years ago, there were not many audio schools like there are now. Back then, the people I worked with were mainly composers that had learned audio engineering on their own, just as I had. However, as a child, I was formally taught music theory and musical instruments. That, of course, came long before the technical work.
 
MFM: Your first official release dates are from 2017 but you had been active with experimenting, composing, and recording for a much longer time already. At what point did you find yourself confident and pleased enough to share your productions with the outside world?
 
GR: When I moved to Berlin in 2015 I took the first few years to research and study the sound I wanted to express and felt a connection to. Long before that, I was building and playing other genres. It takes time to find your sound and style, and the interesting part is that it continues to evolve over time. Even when you think you’ve found it, it still changes slightly.
 
MFM: Do you go to the studio religiously, regardless of whether you feel inspired or motivated? Do you have a certain routine when working in the studio?  
 
GR: I don’t go to the studio religiously, at least not to make music. 
I do work every day, but often I am just sitting in my studio listening to music, writing emails, or having meetings. Many people don’t know how much work is behind a project. From the outside, what you see is just the tip of the iceberg. I mostly compose in phases; I might compose a lot for two months and then the next month I will be focused on researching, or preparing a live show, recording a mix like I did for you, or creating a sound installation. I need time to absorb what I compose and let it rest, and then get back to it.
 
MFM: Are there any new projects that you're working on and can share with us? 
 
GR: I am working on several beautiful projects at the moment. This year I am working on different collaborations of which the releases will follow in the near future. I have a new album coming out either at the end of the year or beginning of 2023. I am currently working on an immersive installation and I will also be premiering a new AV show with the visual artist Marco Ciceri this summer.

Fact Mix 866: Pariah (Jul '22)

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.

Outsiders: Patterns Of Perception w/ Steve Duncan @ Kiosk Radio 25.09.2023

Neon Cleptu 27

Ecstatic bliss. For this episode I’d like to welcome Kaspiann. @soundsofkaspiann

Kaspiann liveshows encouraged a burgeoning experimental landscape to emphasize the tactile feeling of rhythm manipulation. Astral virtuosities dazzling fromout the deepest corners of winter sun. The perpetual beauty smoldered in ecstatic bliss. 

With his own VALA imprint the Helsinki based producer releases his own music in relation to production made with other artists who are close to him. Later this year he will release on Delsin's Mantis series. Forest swords ranging high with his participation towards the Cleptu serie.

I’m very pleased that he participated and will be the one to guide us through his musical fascinations.

Next up in our mix-series is Kaspiann, from the depths of the Helsinki underground. Running the VALA label, performing live, building his own soundsystem and organising parties, he has forged a psychedelic techno sound driven by a DIY attitude and unbound by limitations of tempo, creating a unique holistic musical practice. It’s a multi-sensory ideal which can accommodate his low-speed experiments as much as his fast-paced meditations, whether it’s a steady 4/4 pulse guiding the music or the refracted intrigue of more complex rhythmical structures.

In this episode, Kaspiann takes us on a flawless trip, striking a balance between tough, impactful club sounds and more introspective tones and textures. The mix embodies the spirit of his dual perspective on the thriving clubs of Helsinki and the warehouse and outdoor parties of the underground scene.

Ute Mix Series #86 | Kaspiann

Italian duo https://soundcloud.com/naturalelectronicsystem have been a force within techno’s underground since 2004, gaining respect through their much revered podcasts for cult websites such as mnml ssgs and Smoke Machine, as well as their international dj sets, including at Labyrinth in Japan. 

After a mesmerizing set at the Patterns of Perception opening party at OHM in April, we are pleased to have natural/electronic.system. provide the seventh installment of our mix series - an hour of groovy, slowly unfolding dub techno.

We also had a chat with the duo about the mix, their push into production, and the music that makes them 'vibrate': http://goo.gl/LxTbOH

Precept 003 | Ephere

@hydrangeamusic ’s life as a producer and DJ began relatively recently, when in 2014 she began expressing the quietness, wonder and intensity of nature in techno. For this prodigious French talent, creating and selecting music is an act of entering a deeper dimension, both transcendent and grounded in the hypnotic beauty of the natural world.

As a producer, she has released her own productions – which are lucid, mesmerising, arresting – on @annulled_music, @two-two-records, and @silent-season.

As a DJ, she is equally inspired by the dancefloors she plays to across Europe as by the nature around her home. She describes this mix for Patterns of Perception as a musical trip for one of her walks in the forest, creating an inner journey while being connected with the surroundings.

Wherever you happen to listen to it, we are confident it will have a similar effect on you.
