Reduced is a new series that strips sound back to its most transcendental, restorative and atmospheric textures to block out the noise and aid focus, attunement and relaxation. Each one will be paired with a mental health charity and be accompanied by an interview focussed on self-care. The combination of all three will create an evolving resource of knowledge and experience that provides solace, inspiration, reassurance and company in difficult times.

Taking a collaborative approach to their mix, female electronic drone choir NYX piece together tracks, sound collages and field recordings which "represent their collective influences", from ambient and experimental through to choral, chamber music, drone and ambient/electronic soundscapes, "with a lot of focus on space, texture and the use of voice as an instrument."

🌑 Trying to keep a mental muscle in my musical bubble. For my first show of the year on my beloved Kiosk Radio,  I chose some of my favourite 2020 (vinyl) tracks. Inspired by Marina, Ursula, Mhysa lyrics :
🌞 "Too many days, too many nights. How many ways, how many sides? I've been searching my soul".
🤩 "I just wanna wake up each day with a smile on my face instead worry and pain - We need to heal".
🌍 "I wanna fuckin' believe. I want you to make it better. Make the world better, make the world better".
