arch Selections & Live Recordings

For our next arch podcast, veteran Berlin after-hour selector, sonic experimenter, and contemporary artist Ekaterina Burlyga created a heady sound collage. Think gluey organic textures, fragments of voice, pitched-down dub, broken beats, and future-bass.

A devoted vinyl hoarder with an obscene library of 90s techno, electronica, and drone 12”s lining the walls of her studio, the burgeoning sound artist weaves an eclectic range together in this dubbed-out, synaesthetic mix.

Kev Sheridan takes to the decks for our ninth podcast with a vinyl-only mix taking in some of his favourite records from ‘outside the box.’ The Irish artist constructs a quirky world of touching beatless moments, pensive sadness and techno-spherical, looping electronica. 

There are beautiful contrasts to behold: from the woozy pitching piano of the opening track, television samples, cerebral electronics, spoken word, heart-breaking pads and plenty of glacier-cooI IDM are all here, to be found and adored.

Lily Ackerman’s mix for arch guides the listener through a wide range of human emotions, starting with a quiet and pleasantly naive intro before a dark and dramatic mid-section takes hold. Relief arrives with a fantasy journey through a jungle-like natural landscape, evoking an extravagant and euphoric state. 

The mix concludes with the calming sounds of everyday human life and nature, in the form of three field recordings, from places that hold meaning to Lily: Berlin, her current home, Vietnam, where her mother was born, and San Francisco, the last American city she lived in.

Lily Ackerman - Arch Selections X.1

Exploring every avenue of electronic dub, hazy catacombs of smoked-out ambience and summery IDM, Inverted Audio founder Antepop delivers our next arch podcast. In his own words, “this vinyl mix marks my first recorded mix in 8 months, my Technics had been in storage for way too long, but with an invite to record an ambient mix for arch and some recent new additions to my collection, I had to get them dusted off and spinning again.”

The British selector recorded the mix in a conservatory surrounded by plants in the heart of rural England. “I dug out some of the finest ambient and downtempo records in my collection and put them together with a lone listener in mind. This is not for the dancefloor, it's to let the mind wander. I hope you enjoy listening to it.”

Join us for arch 0.4 July 9th at about blank berlin. Tickets via Inverted Audio.

Arch presents the next chapter in our mix series with Munich’s Sam Goku in control. Following his impressive and wide-reaching debut album 'East Dimensional Riddims’ the burgeoning artist, real name Robin Wang, focuses on the more experimental and transcendent side of his record collection in this special new mix.

“I wanted to put together a meditative set that transports different forms of blissfulness - from the floating energy of calmness through the holistic energy of mother nature to the ecstasy of pure rhythm. Accompanied by melodies that inspire my imagination and animate some fond memories.” - Sam Goku, August 2021

Berlin-based composer and live performer Paule Perrier mixes together some of her favourite inspirational music for arch selections X.4. Watch out for an exclusive new track by Paule coming soon on the next arch tape; ‘The Way We Descend’.

"This mix was conceived as a patchwork of sonic textures and colours, fusing different origins and styles. From experimental music to noise, avant-garde, jazz, early synth music, electronic; rarities or classics, this selection embraces the large spectrum of Ambient music. Glorifying diversity, this asymmetric mix stands where divergence and contrast intersect." Paule Perrier @anniehoax

US producer, DJ and journalist Chloe Lula delivers our next installment of the arch selections series with a story-like mix, bluring futuristic electronics, modern classical, shoe-gaze and spooky night-time textures.

In Chloe’s own words, “this set is filled with some artists I discovered during the lockdown and played a lot throughout last fall and winter. There are a lot of processed stringed instruments throughout this mix that I love as well, especially since I use so many strings as textures in my own productions.’’ @chlo-lula

Chloe Lula - Arch Selections X.5

Currently splitting his time between Nairobi and Berlin, Bush of Ghosts is the alter-ego of UK-born David Tinning. The Santuri East Africa co-founder and long-time Cashmere Radio host shows off his eclectic and expansive collection of glistening electro-acoustic music from around the globe. Spanning decades, continents and micro-scenes, with a distinct focus on polyrhythmic percussion and tumbling time-signatures, we are delighted to welcome him to the series.

In David’s own words, “…this mix was a real pleasure to put together - it contains some of the pieces I play on my Bush of Ghosts show on Cashmere Radio, when I’m feeling more of the meditative / beatless vibes. There's music here from some favourites such as Jonny Nash (opening and closing and the mix), Vivian Koch, Space Africa, Alejandro Mosso, Brian Eno and Micheal Brook, as well as some sounds from my current location in East Africa - including Msafiri Zawose and Sven Karicek.”

Dextrous British producer BNJMN aka Christchurch born Ben Thomas is our next guest selector. With a rich catalogue of everything from non-conformist hypnotising techno, to blissful ambience and bass-heavy electronics as Body Portals, the Berlin-based artist has been a member of the arch family from the very beginning.

“Inspired by a walk through Treptower Park in Berlin on a cold autumnal day…” BNJMN channels his penchant for earthy layers of textural drones, cloud-like particles and foggy melancholia, in this time-stretching hour-long mix.

São Paulo-based DJ. producer and curator Amanda Mussi drops in to provide a hypnotising down-tempo, psychedelic mix for our next podcast. As she prepares the next chapter of releases on her Macro Hits label, she takes a momentary sidestep into the world of cerebral, after-hours electronica.

A rising figurehead in her scene, Mussi layers a stunning mix of “ambient electronics, combined with drone, stoner’s doom and IDM - a mix of styles that I enjoy off-dancefloor, featuring many emerging latin-american artists.”

Respected underground mainstay Irakli, the Georgian-born, Berlin-residing creator of the Intergalactic Research Institute for Sound label, provides the next selection for arch: edition X.9.

Known for his vivacious brand of electronics ranging from sci-fi infected idm and ambient, to morphing contemporary techno, the busy artist recorded a spacial, textural mix exploring the melodic end of the drone spectrum, juxtaposing vintage electronica bleeps with ultra-modern experimental transmissions.

For our 20th mix we welcome Dutch veteran DJ & producer Nuno Dos Santos under his Dwaalgast alias. Expect a masterclass traversing the full spectrum of transcendental drone, ambient, and stargazing idm minimalism. 

In his own words, “…My idea with this mix for Arch was to create an underwater mood. At moments you will dive deeper and darker and other moments you flow more to the surface and above for lighter and brighter surroundings.”

Deep-diving San Francisco-based selectors Mozhgan & Solar are our next guests, showcasing their most spaced-out, psychedelia-rooted records in this special mix for arch.

From android electronics to avant-garde fantasy soundtracks and electro-acoustic manifestations, there’s an audible thread of historian-like knowledge throughout. A window into an outernational post-everything twilight world, trainspotters beware!

Long-serving North American selector Cooper Saver supplies the next arch podcast. Cooper’s bright and distinctive style traverses genres, movements and continents - in this gorgeous home-listening mix he shines a light on the records he enjoys outside of the clubs.

“This is a selection of moody records both recent and old; things that I have been enjoying as my personal soundtrack to the spring showers and foggy evenings at home. Heavily influenced by my mountainous surroundings overlooking the western shoreline of British Columbia, Canada.” Cooper Saver, May 2022

Horkheimer is a Frankfurt-based DJ and producer known to dive deep into dub, aquatic techno and spaced-out electronica. As A/R for the Live at Robert Johnson label alongside Ata, his sonic landscape is as broad as enigmatic - a perfect meeting of minds for Arch.

Horkheimer’s selection blurs the boundaries between down-tempo techno and electronica, scanning the far reaches of Balearic spin-out vibes with an alternative twist. Often mysterious, at times deeply melancholic, and almost always drenched in smoky dub aesthetics!

German selector Lux, equally known for her storytelling skills in ambient and leftfield electronica, just as she is for her control of the dance floor via diverse house, electro and techno, provides the first arch podcast of 2023. In this serene 70+ minute trip we dive into cascading dub sequences, filtering waves of synthesised melody, and sparse minimalist dub electronics.

British Berlin transplant @fredmannnn is rather partial to far-out atmospherics, bonkers IDM, braindance and tear-inducing modern Classical excursions. 

Knowing his composition skills and eclectic taste, we invited him to record the next arch selections mix. Brought to you from a snowstorm, from arch with love.

Dublin’s R. Kitt presents a beautifully layered, spectral scan through the glassy outer reaches of contemporary electronica and modern classical. Shards of melancholic piano and swaying ambience are juxtaposed with cyberspace interference, spoken word and enthralling electronic micro-epics.
