Mixes

Animix Thirty Eight comes from @steve-duncan, a talented digger and co-founder of the iconic @patternsofperception music collective. Born in Australia, but having spent his recent years in Berlin, Steve now resides in Helskini.

I am lucky to have met Steve through my travels, and also having been gifted an opportunity to play at one of the @patternsofperception parties in Berlin. What they have managed to achieve as a collective is beyond impressive. As a DJ, Steve's talent is equally notable - his creative and smooth mixing style, and classy selection of deep, crunchy & vibrant sounds. This mix here follows suit fittingly, meeting the perfect balance between sophistication and groove.  

Thanks so much for this one Steve <3

Mirrors 009 - Steve Duncan

Steve is a Berlin based DJ who cut his teeth in the house-fuelled backrooms of Canberra, Australia. Since discovering techno in a Sydney warehouse, his passion has taken him first to Helsinki and then onto Berlin where driving, atmospheric soundscapes now dominate his sets.

A founding member of Patterns of Perception, we are proud to have Steve kick off our mix series with an hour of deep techno that strikes the perfect balance between eclecticism and dancefloor functionality.

Deep Space Series

DSS 015  | Patterns Of Perception

Steve Duncan is a Berlin-based DJ and co-curator of the Patterns of Perception platform. In his sets, he offers an atmospheric, driving sound that focuses on narrative, groove and hypnotic rhythm without being fixed to any specific genre.

Originally from Australia, Steve's background in classical music is what first attracted him to the complexity and depth of electronic music. As a classically trained guitarist, he has spent many years fine-tuning his ear for music, accumulating a wide range of influences in the process. 

Together with a close-knit group of friends and collaborators, Steve’s work on Patterns of Perception allows him to explore techno’s sensory depths by inviting forward-thinking artists such as Peter Van Hoesen, Marco Shuttle, Volte-Face, Jamie McCue and natural/electronic.system. to feature at their parties or contribute to their mix series.

2017 looks to be a crucial year for Steve and the Patterns of Perception crew, with their one year celebration taking place at About Blank on May 21, followed by parties at Griessmuehle and their home-base of OHM, as well as their first international appearance in Copenhagen.

Welcome to the 177th chapter of the Deep Electronics Podcast. A weekly released podcast that brings you a diversity of deep related music. This weeks set is mixed by Hysteria & Steve Duncan from Patterns of Perception.


About Patterns of Perception:

Patterns of Perception embodies experimental textures and deep atmospheric sounds, inspired by the dissonance between the natural and the industrial.

Bio:

Hysteria and Steve Duncan are members of Patterns of Perception - a Berlin-based collective that explore the hypnotic depths of techno & electronica. Through regular club nights and a podcast series, they provide a platform for artists to share their unique vision.

This contribution to the Deep Electronics podcast draws inspiration from a storm the Australian duo encountered whilst travelling through the Austrian alps some months ago.

Experiencing moments of meteorological beauty, calm, energy and bleakness amidst the rain and snow, the pair felt compelled to record their visions and emotions, resulting in this mix which was pieced together in months that followed.

Deep Electronics Podcast # 177 - Hysteria & Steve Duncan (Patterns of Perception)

For the seventh episode of TRANSIENCE on Cashmere Radio, we had the pleasure of having @andreasmaan and @imhysteria representing @patternsofperception, responding to the TRANSIENCE concept.

Patterns of Perception is a regular club night held at OHM, Berlin as well as a podcast series, providing a platform for artists to experiment and explore the depths of ambient and techno. Patterns of Perception embodies experimental textures and deep atmospheric sounds, inspired by the dissonance between the natural and the industrial. The residents are Kim Bergstrand, Hysteria, Andreas Maan & Steve Duncan. 

It is undeniable that we are living in uncertain times. For those of us failing to fit the patriarchal neoliberalist mould we have lost hope in the future. We can see capitalism is not working but we cannot yet envisage an alternative. We discover that the stability we were instructed to obtain whether it be financial, political or ecological, is fleeting, if at all. The resulting anxiety is an instrument of neoliberalism that prevents many of us from being able to raise consciousness of the structural injustices that alienate us.

In a world where security is no longer feasible, the only constant we can rely on is change. Barad teaches us that the world is a dynamic process of intra-activity and materialisation, an ongoing ebb and flow of agency. The Buddhist Law of Impermanence proves that nothing in this world is eternal. Regardless of ones point of reference we can understand that every aspect of life, physical and mental is in flux and perhaps this transience is the only thing we can depend on.

We select artists whose music we feel has the potential to offer relief from these anxieties. A temporary suspension of reality, where the listener can speculate on alternate modes of existence that reject hetero- patriarchal systems of oppression.

Mysteries of the Deep Podcast, Chapter XCII

Mysteries Of The Deep XCII - STEVE DUNCAN | THE SUN'S ROTATION

As a co-curator and resident DJ of Patterns of Perception, Steve Duncan aims to always infuse a sense of vibrancy and diversity into the sonic palette of his sets and musical offerings. A focus on rhythm and narrative allows him to traverse a range of sounds and moods, and challenges him to continually dig and refine his musical vision.

With Patterns of Perception 42 - his second outing since the very first edition some two and half years ago - Steve has created a soundscape filled with slow grooves, rough textures and vibrant interjections. It seeks to bridge home listening and dancefloor sensibilities, with driving moments countered with contemplative experimental pieces.

Step inside the mind of @patternsofperception's @steve-duncan with the Australian DJ and long time Berlin-based tastemaker treating us to a soothing fusion of chillout techno meditations spun at 33rpm. Now settling into a new life in Helsinki while navigating the pandemic, we chat about where he got his start back in Canberra and Sydney around the turn of the century, and how it lead him to Berlin to start the wonderfully curated Patterns of Perception series alongside five friends in 2016.

Interview

MDC.249 Steve Duncan

patterns of perception | moiré in motion | 116mins | 89 - 115bpm
_

Formed in Berlin in 2016 by six friends, Patterns of Perception is dedicated to cultivating compelling, visionary electronic music through their residencies at OHM Berlin and ://about.blank, in parallel with their long-running and influential mix series and zine.

This mix is a collaborative effort, with track selections from all six members of the crew: Kim Bergstrand, Bianca Shu, Steve Duncan, Zilke Grogan, Ray Pham, and Andreas Maan. Among the wide variety of artists represented, a couple of friends and collaborators can be heard: Aleksi Perälä and natural/electronic.system, however the majority of the music is drawn from other times and places. In putting the jigsaw puzzle together as a mix, Andreas Maan tried to allow the selections themselves to guide the way, and the result is a meandering journey: a subtle, glimmering collage punctuated by rising and then dissipating tensional layers.
