“As a kid I could never fall asleep without my headphones,” reveals Adam Dove aka Nexcyia, speaking to Rob Turner. “I remember falling asleep listening to Jay-Z and Kid Cudi: it became ambient to me.” London based artist Dove aims to create sonic experiences akin to an augmented reality through sound collages, installations and manipulated video work. In his interview in The Wire 461, Dove discusses Afro-surrealism, the sonification of race, his own introduction to ambient music whilst being hospitalised, and more.

Here, Dove shares a brand new mix featuring tracks by several of his musical acquaintances, and others. “This mix was inspired by a quote from the book Invisible Man (1952) by Ralph Ellison,” says Nexcyia over email, “I now can see the darkness of lightness. And I love light. Perhaps you'll think it strange that an invisible man should need light, desire light, love light. But maybe it is exactly because I am invisible. Light confirms my reality, gives birth to my form.”

“I wanted to sonify the idea that the darkness of lightness can confirm presence,” he continues, “some of the tracks by Racine evoke these feelings, as well as, feelings of otherness and loneliness – I wanted to compile tracks that evoke meditative temple-like atmospheres.”

Disappearer's fourth META MOTO solo artist tape showcases a fluidity between electronic sounds and genres, characterised by a deliberate elusiveness. Oscillating between eerie atmospheres and funky beats, the artist constructs an enigmatic sonic landscape, evoking a sense of hiding in the shadows while emitting smoke screens. From electro to techno and breakbeat, the eight-track album titled "Counterfeit" is set for release on March 29th, available on both tape and digital platforms.

Recorded and produced by Johan Skugge, half of Harlem (Veyl, Body Musick), the album originates from Palermo, Italy. Skugge, also recognised for his release on Clan Destine Records from Glasgow, UK, brings his distinct sound to "Counterfeit." With its electrifying compositions, this album promises to captivate audiences with its bold electronic aesthetic.

For the first album release on Pure Space - and a welcome addition to our Home Listening Series - we are excited to present "At Every Corner" by Mara, a pivotal figure in Eora/Sydney's experimental music community.

Since 2020, the Home Listening series has showcased the introspective and wandering side of the label, featuring releases from Jennifer Loveless, jobfit, and 黑芝麻 (Hēi zhī ma). This series diverges from club constricts, inviting listeners to explore deeper, more contemplative soundscapes.

Throughout "At Every Corner", Mara weaves a rich tapestry of sound, creating captivating composites of audio snippets taken from her travels and performances along the way. The result is a mesmerising long-play that invites the listener into an ever wandering journey.

“The Time It Takes” was composed during an artist residency in Itoshima, Japan. The track is structured in three parts using recordings of the three songs that would ring out through the town like clockwork at 8am, 12pm and 6pm. These signals, whether for timekeeping for farmers or testing the evacuation system, became the unintentional checkpoints for Mara’s time throughout this trip: the basis in keeping focus in the day, or finding the time to turn off for the evening, or a fleeting moment to tune into a collective listening experience.
