DSS 048 is presented to you by @mod21. Manuele Chiaravalloti is an Italian born Swiss based producer/sound artist/DJ/label owner/photographer. After years of research he released his two debut records on Prologue. Labels as @semantica-records, @mentalmodern and his own imprint followed soon after. 

His visual art and music emerges from a rich imagination which flows into deep and dark sounds and images. For DSS Manuele made a composition full of these profound drone and ambient tracks, almost fully kickless. 

Press play, sit back and hear for yourself!

DSS 048 I MOD21

Very proud to announce our next installment, provided by rhythm maestro @dino-sabatini

Italian-born producer Dino Sabatini is an artist whose strong body of work has helped to develop his local scene, and redefine what it means to work with electronic music in the 21st century: though his sounds are completely modern, synthesized and rendered with crystal clear production, he continues to tend the deep roots of lost wisdom and mythology that have sustained human creativity for millenia.

SonarMix 011 takes a different path to previous editions, with Barcelona experimental artist Pedro Vian offering a tour through his recent listening pile. Recorded using a sole turntable, Vian takes us through forthcoming releases on his Modern Obscure Music imprint (fêted Japanese ambient artist Susumu Yokota), classic 80s reggae from Steel An' Skin, and unidentified and unreleased music from himself and others. The result is an unhurried, autumnal wander through a diverse set of sounds, tones and styles, a perfect soundtrack for the changing of the seasons.

Tracklist:
Susumu Yokota - Song Of The Sleeping Forest
Harris Ledins - Quia Expedit
Pavel Milyakov & Yana Pavlova - Midnight Blues
Unknown - Unknown
Unknown - Unknown
Robert Musci - Claudia, Wilhelm R And Me

a floaty housey fix to soundtrack your afterparty, full of old and new favourites (✿◠‿◠)

🌅 Sunrise at the afterparty 🌅

We are over the moon to kick of the 5th year of Introspective Electronics with this compelling mix recorded by our dear friend, an incredible sound artist and DJ ~ Jin [靜] ✨

Born in Taiwan and taking root in London, Jin has developed a strong sensibility to navigate the in betweens of mystery-tinted ambient and techno, often weaving the two to create spaces of reflection and listening and at the same time, somatic stimulation. In her live performances , Jin works with deeply tactile custom made electroacoustic instruments, synthesis and field recordings to concoct detailed and wildly transportive sonic experiences existing in between these two realms. This is a focus that is also mirrored in her DJing 🔮

In this hour-long mix, we are lured into Jin’s enigmatic ambient world ~ gliding through evocative sonic territories that constantly yet patiently expand and contract, introduce tension and offer relief, call us to dive into the vortex of our subconscious and then emerge back into our body.

The concept of space and distance plays an important role in terms of composition and organization of sounds, events in music. Within this mix, OL tried to show how music producers interact with this concept in different ways. As a result of mixing, layering and colliding selected tracks with different techniques and approaches, new, previously non-existent spaces emerge at the intersections.

 2. Random_Inc - Random_Inc Searching For Sony Mao (Somewhere In Jerusalem)

vol.1_OL

Moody cacophonies, sonic dispatches from Japan, crystalline breakbeats that are more environment than rhythm: Jake Muir’s 𝒆𝒏𝒎𝒊𝒙𝒆𝒅, described by Muir as a “(re)mixtape,” is a mind-bending deep dive into the enmossed archive. Besides reflecting the history of the label, Muir’s mix is a production in its own right. A Los Angeles native based in Berlin, Muir is a DJ and field recordist who “sees mixes as a vehicle to explore narratives outside of the album format.” 

In 𝑩𝒂𝒕𝒉𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒔𝒆 𝑩𝒍𝒖𝒆𝒔 (2023), where Muir sampled various sources to explore gay cruising culture and sensuality, his more expansive, conceptual approach to the form is illuminated. Mixes are not just a linear succession of tracks with transitions—they’re excavations that also result in the creation of new audio artifacts. Inspired by the psychedelic impulses of illbient, Muir uses DJ and sound engineering techniques to melt down genre distinctions and create alien atmospheres.

From the enmossed community, Muir pulls from artists like bad lsd trips, Angelo Harmsworth, Nick Klein, Tetsuya Nakayama, and Patrick Gallagher to coalesce a super-compendium of the global sonic underground, all viewed through his own unique lens. Muir takes major liberties with processing and effects automation to carve new worlds from the soil of these preexisting works. Some of the tracks and material on 𝒆𝒏𝒎𝒊𝒙𝒆𝒅 are heavily edited, emphasizing specific harmonics or bass frequencies, and some portions contain three or four layers, putting artists in direct conversation with each other. 

This heady approach—using the tools of both mixtape and remix—results in a super textual and dense palimpsest of the enmossed catalog. “Because mixes are more open- source,” Muir says, “it’s easier to express some ideas since there is more material to pull from.”

---

Berlin based sound artist, DJ and field recordist Jake Muir was infatuated with sound from an early age, surrounded by California's buzzing, whirring sonic landscape and his father's collection of beachfront rock LPs. So it wasn't surprising when, as he developed his ear, Muir was drawn to work that dexterously manipulated these elements, particularly musique concrète, field recording and experimental turntablism. He approaches his practice as a listener first, carefully choosing, layering and processing sounds that help him deconstruct and contextualize his lived experiences and influences. Using investigative software methodologies, DJ techniques and the engineering skills he acquired while studying, Muir makes deeply personal sonic art that fluidly traverses genre membranes, encouraging reflection and sometimes prompting psychedelic states.

fabric 92: Call Super
Release date: 17 February 2017 
Label: fabric
Format: CD / Digital
Cat No: fabric182
Release page/order: http://www.fabriclondon.com/store/fabric-92.html

At some point in the early morning the collective pulse in the room shifted. Gone the rollercoaster of the peak hours. Sweat gave way to the fog of the hazy hours, and the crowd has evolved to those in need of undulating epiphanies. This is the stage on which fabric92 unfolds.

"I love playing every hour of the night. However the late hours seemed strangely under represented within this series, and I thought it would be good to start there instead of using this opportunity to add another peak time chapter to the collection."

In a few years this versatility has marked the London born Call Super as one of the brightest new lights on the DJ landscape. His rise has been steady and remarkable, reinforced at every stage with music that draws on a panoply of influences. The son of a New Orleans jazz clarinetist, his curiosity for music was driven by a childhood playing Spanish guitar and the piano before being burnished through teenage revelations in the London club scene.

"The fabric mix series has played an influential role in my learning of my craft. As influential to me as the club itself. The discs recorded by Ellen Allien, Craig Richards, Robert Hood, James Murphy and Pat Mahoney all taught me quite distinct things about track selection and pacing that I think about to this day. The John Peel one became an elegy that I still remember him by as much as his radio shows that I used to listen to. Because of this I wanted my mix to do a few things. Primarily I wanted it to be highly personal, a Polaroid of my way of mixing records. Because my own technique has been influenced by other discs in the series, I had to capture the way I sometimes play in a club."

And that is what this mix is, the sound of a DJ who has drawn in so much in finding their own voice. Records layered and sliced with a deft array of techniques and a singular vision for the room and the time they are operating in. fabric92 eschews the common computer based approach and gives the listener a snapshot of a misty reality. Music should give you a better context for the everyday, it should elate, it should make you angry, sad, it heightens life. This understanding is at the root of Call Super's work, though with this recording he puts it differently:

"For the listener, I simply wanted the music to take you out to sea so we could watch the weather together. This isn’t about getting beat upside the head, this is us dreaming in the dawn."
