the idea is to create a piece of space just for ones self.  This bit of particles floating in the ether, is for you alone.  A place to drift off into the universe and return only when ready.  Don't just listen, immerse.  Life's to short not to have all the feels.  Music for everything. 

All These Dreams

Rafael Diogo about 'Where Shadows Sleep':

'Where Shadows Sleep' is a meditative sonic diary, born from my recent journeys across South America and the Middle East & North Africa. It weaves together the contrasts I witnessed — between cultures, faiths, and the presence and absence of the divine. It reflects on what humanity celebrates and laments, offering a space for both solace and reflection.

In the Amazon, the earth hummed in delicate whispers, lush and endless. I captured its heartbeat, learning to embrace medicinal plants, cradled in the quiet power of nature’s embrace. These sacred moments of peace stand in stark contrast to my time in the Middle East & North Africa, where desolation echoes and resilience blooms in the shadow of struggle. These two worlds became sonic prayers, woven mantras of hope-seeking balance in their wake.

Each track began as a field recording, a raw imprint of place and time. Slowly, these elemental sounds transformed, enriched by layers of tape loops, healing instruments, and synths. Together, they form a spiritual vessel — an album that soothes the soul, invites deep introspection, and gently awakens an awareness of the world’s fragility and strength.

Rafael Diogo, known as Deep Dive Sound, is a Portuguese field recordist and ambient composer based in London. He draws inspiration from the stories of diverse cultures, objects, and places, transforming them into soundscapes that resonate with immediacy and depth. His work captures a delicate nostalgia, reconnecting us to the sensory essence of time and memory.

Guided by a passion for travel, Rafael explores remote corners of the world, capturing field recordings that weave a rich tapestry of shifting memories. His compositions reflect a deep connection to ecology, illuminating the fragility of nature while embracing its wonder. Through his music, he creates intimate soundscapes that preserve fleeting moments and forgotten places, inviting listeners to rediscover what might otherwise fade into silence.

Monokle - Blow

Building on the original sounds sculpted by Morrison, Tape Throb Records will look to release music which stems from the same nonconformity and desire to distort, blend, warp and innovate in the world of dance music. Now the platform has expanded from a bedroom in Derry to a recognised genre amongst those in the know the label will look to bring in more fledgling artists who share the same unconventional creative ethos and build Tape Throb from a niche sound to a movement. A movement that is at once soulful and punchy, warm but with a distinct sprinkling of fuck you.
Fittingly the first release scheduled for mid 2016 is a tape containing unreleased work by Buz Ludzha embracing a punk riddled jungle vibe punctuated with his signature warm distortion.
