An entropic and otherworldly episode from Taiwanese and London-based sound artist Jin [靜], whose contribution draws parallels between classic, exploratory electronica and modern hyper-sensory techno. Gathering like a humble storm, Jin's mix is compounding and ravenous in its accumulation of material energy, a distillation of sonic pressure, a volatile crush to the senses.

Ambient Sleepers 008: Eric Cloutier
( @cloutier )

Four 8th podcast, We're thrilled to release the recording from Eric Cloutier's beautiful 1 hour Ambient set at our last event Ambient Sleepers #5(05.05.22.)!

We had the chance to invite this legendary Techno DJ and producer from NY/Detroit to perform a special Ambient set, offering us a dreamy journey between atmospheric ambient, field recording, drone and experimental sounds - Enjoy!


More info about Eric Cloutier:

Cloutier’s nature - one of zeal and infatuation towards the warm, dubby, hypnotic house and techno that has come to characterize his sound as well as his ability to bridge the gap between dance music’s past and its future.

Eric Cloutier’s standards are representative of the pre-social media craze and arguably the old adage of letting music speak for itself. Cloutier’s twenty-plus year commitment has been built upon his integrity as a DJ and authority as a selector. A self-described "record digging psychopath," one only has to refer to his mix of highly sought after cuts from Driftwood Records to see the lengths Cloutier will go to in order to procure the perfect selection. This is truly Cloutier’s nature - one of zeal and infatuation towards the warm, dubby, hypnotic house and techno that has come to characterize his sound as well as his masterful ability to bridge the gap between dance music’s past and its future.

An exception to the norm, Cloutier is not one to capitalize on his Detroit origins. Moving to New York in his 20’s, he became a regular face at The Bunker where he began to further define his innate style of body orientated music. Now situated in Berlin, where he often shows up behind the decks of niche alcoves as well as the world’s best clubs, Cloutier’s reputation as an unequivocal, dexterous force is increasingly becoming one of note. His talents as a producer have also been growing of late, with the establishment of his own imprint Palinoia, Greek for “the obsessive repetition of an act until it is perfected or mastered.” The label has become the new home and optimization for Cloutier’s evolving undertakings. Through Palinoia, Cloutier manages to further synthesize slick, dubby club music to slide into his DJ sets as well as feature lesser known talent he's discovered. He’s a DJ for whom quality - above all else - is the watchword.

Ambient Sleepers 008: Eric Cloutier

The recording of the mix I made for @lowless-music's Rinse France show on the 30th of September 2022. 

I wanted this mix to be a kind of part-2 to the show I did at The Lot Radio in NY back in February in 2020 (if any of you remember that one - https://soundcloud.com/syberkid/thelotradio).

Basically, another mix journeying through hazy-deep-broken-strange music. I have a playlist under that name, where anything that feels like this lives, and as we head back towards colder weather, it’s these tunes I’m reaching for.

The mix criss-crosses through deep techno, inquisitive percussion, lazybreaks, slowed-dubstep, and ye I dunno, some gnarly alien noises? The main thing I wanted to capture is a central sort of frazzled feeling around the edges of the sounds, and a morphing gelatinous groove which feels like it could fractalise in unexpected directions.

Hope you enjoy the trip. Feat music by: Toki Fuko, Skee Mask, Monolake, Rvshes, Calibre, D-leria, Ntogn, Alva Noto +++

The full show with the 2nd hour by @seb_alcachofa can be found here: https://soundcloud.com/rinse_france/lowless-invite-sybil-30-septembre-2022

Lowless - 30.09.22

Remember Chinese Whispers, Stille Post or Rikkinäinen Puhelin? That children’s game, known all over the world, that illustrates the difficulties of transmitting information, but which also reveals the creativity of discontinuous conversation? It feels like the Patterns of Perception and @awalkingcontradiction collectives have been in such a conversation for the past years across a multitude of label nights, private hangouts, and shared festival experiences.

Based in Basel, Switzerland but unhinged from national contexts, A Walking Contradiction is a label for music and research. Curated by @varuna4053, @lemont-eana and Dead Electronic Space Limited (@ltd_dead), the collective share a penchant for beats - broken and straight - yet can't help but churn out music for the quiet hours. A deeply reflective group, you’ll find snippets of their conversations on social, political, economic, and environmental issues hidden in sounds or in plain sight on the sleeves of their records.

Compiled entirely from new and unreleased material, their Patterns of Perception 102 is but the latest product of interlocutions and whispers between Basel, Berlin, Helsinki and the world in general, paying tribute to the significance of community where the legitimacy of commons is increasingly impugned. 
Levitating within a field of sophisticated textures and percussion, this set burns slowly, but with a luminescent intensity. Angular experimental ambience builds into winding, complex rhythms. Inspired minds elevate delicate melancholia into a true sense of hope.

Patterns of Perception 102 - A Walking Contradiction

We have been eager to share this new chapter of our Podcast Series with you for a little while. It comes courtesy of the Basel-based Timnah Sommerfeldt, the empress of all things occult and hypnotic in the realm of electronica 🔮

Part of the well-respected amenthia recordings crew, co-host of Home Radio she runs together with Garçon and a resident at Elysia ~ arguably one of the most loved clubs in Europe ~ Timnah is a well seasoned DJ with strong sensibility in navigating the the deeper, headier waters of techno and atmospheric bass 💫

Timnah’s introspective contribution is a perfectly balanced blend of deep, aqueous drones and murky downtempo carving out and holding space for the patiently emerging stormy rhythms taking the reins for most part in the second half of the mix. Time to brace yourselves for a one way journey into the maelstrom. Safe travels, friends 🌝🌚

Podcast Series 29 | Timnah

"Goose bumps. Head-on collision between machine and nature. Flying in a dystopian science fiction paradise where there are still trees and clean wind, where machines are friends. Frequencies floating in the air executed to perfection. Welcome to the mountain, welcome to a parallel reality."

Recorded live at Paral·lel Festival 2022 (@parallelfestival).

More than twenty years producing together from Valencia, joining musical universes and plural, professional experiences, elaborating a meditated sound from techno roots and the darkest dub with multiple references to electronic, electroacoustic, idm, ambient or contemporary music. Their taste for analogue machinery, for synthesis and algorithmic composition, and their love for the algorithmic composition, and their love for all kinds of synthesizers and programming environments, crystallizes in hard-hitting works for Alpenglühen,The Monkey Bar or Eleve Music. Pajaro Dune (@pajaro-dune) is the product that combines the creative minds of producer Jaime Romero aka Estrato Aurora (@lovebas) and the composer and pianist David Ortolà (@davidortola).

MUSIC, NATURE & INTIMACY

Paral·lel Festival  is characterized by a curated musical selection that is largely based on uniqueness and promoting differentiated musical paradigms. Trying to move away from massification, we created an intimate event with a limited capacity.

Polygonia joined our family earlier this year, introducing herself with a killer performance at Harmony Label Night in Prague's Ankali club. Her track 'Marea' is part of the upcoming compilation, X [HARMONY010], released on the 13th of January. Besides that, she has a collaborative project on Harmony coming up in late 2023 that we are very much looking forward to.  💚

Jin Invites Series #5
Within the subtle deepness: JOACHIM SPIETH

— Artist Intro —

Joachim Spieth is a German DJ, music producer and label owner who emerged musically in the late nineties and has since developed a multi-faceted spectrum of sound between the poles of ambient and spherical techno. Characteristic for his work is the attention to detail and a sensitive sensorium for the creation of atmospheres, which one can hardly escape, no matter if this takes place in his studio work or in his performances.

After several years of intensive collaboration with Wolfgang Voigt’s Kompakt imprint, he founded his own label, Affin, in 2007, which has been constantly developing ever since and has made a name for itself internationally. Besides quite a few EP’s and collaborations, he has released a number of albums in the past years such as Irradiance, Tides, Ousia, Terrain as well as the recently released Reshape projekt, which features variations of his music tracks by Alva Noto, ASC, bvdub and others. In addition to the albums, the Textures Sound Library series was created, which impressively document Spieth’s musical development. As a DJ, Joachim Spieth has been performing in more than 30 countries all over the world. He’s driven by an absolute devotion to music and his pleasure to share it.

On the 5th Day Podcast #171 - outlier

New Nous'klaer Radio by dear friend @Mattikk! As one of the hidden gems of the Dutch techno scene, he knows how to build a hypnotic groove like no other. If it weren't for the lockdown he would have joined us on Nous'klaer label parties this time of the year, luckily we can now at least share this mix. He'll be curating a newly launched @DelsinRecords sublabel called Mantis (links below), lots of those forthcoming bits of that included in the mix. Big thanks to Thijs!
