In 2019, following a weekend playing in Berlin, I experienced a prolonged psychotic episode, my second (and first since 2004). The consequences  to my life and career were manifold and all-encompassing, and by the time the psychosis was retriggered in early 2021, the volition to engage with music on any meaningful level was utterly waylaid. Fortunately, I've been in good health since, and decided to undertake the Fitzcarraldo-like task of listening to and organising my entire digital library. I'm still not sure why I felt compelled to 'sort through the wreckage' in this way, but something told me there would be some kind of meaning to be derived from the endeavour. And I've decided to document the journey with a series of mixtapes, some of which will have a loose theme of sorts, such as this one. While there will be some new or recent music included, the vast majority of the tracks will have been collected in the last 10 years or so. 

I hope you will enjoy listening as much as I've been enjoying putting these together.

We're thrilled to introduce the incredible German DJ and music producer, Blind Observatory.

Blind Observatory is a highly talented DJ, music producer, designer, and visual artist whose creative work delves deeply into themes of science fiction, futurism, and astronomy. Inspired by the captivating idea of viewing dance floors as "observatories for the blind," his name embodies a guiding principle and serves as a meaningful reminder for David as he explores the vastness and solitude of the universe. His unique artistic approach, combined with an intuitive sense of the energy and flow of a night, enables him to skillfully navigate the delicate emotional spectrum between sadness and joy. This ability has earned him a well-deserved reputation as a true "DJ’s DJ" — someone who understands the art of moving a crowd on a profound level. Since 2024 he is running https://soundcloud.com/gravitational-multiplex together with Vincent Neumann, where he recently released his first solo ep in almost a decade https://gravitationalmultiplex.bandcamp.com/album/entropy-of-me

"With this one I wanted to be it a lush summer mix so I was aiming for a slight water theme. Drifting and Floating. Lots of ripples, droplets, reflections and swirls. Tidal movements and waves with a wiggly undercurrent."

Deep Breakfast 308 ~ Blind Observatory

Monochrome presents, 𝖕𝖗𝖎𝖓𝖙𝖊𝖒𝖕𝖘 𝓥 : Forest On Stasys, Aura Sonora.

This spring, Monochrome is offering each month to one or several artists to discover their influences and inspirations through a forty-five minute to two hour recording. These three recordings will focus on percussive rhythms between Ambient, Deep Techno and Drum & Bass.

Artist biography :
The creativity of Forest On Stasys is Influenced by tribal minimalist techno in the nineties and the deepest and most abstract techno currently. In his tracks the most seductive elements are the use of resonant basses perfectly combined with long and reverberated pads, extensive sonorous landscapes that are modified by continuous movement of LFO, solid grooves and strident percussions.
But not everything that comes out of his head is created with an intention to be used on the dance floor. He has a great admiration for drone and ambient tracks, without a rhythmic pattern that predominates, where the main factor is to captivate the listener with melodies that can be marked by a strong melancholy or with notes that give a certain feeling of satisfaction depending on his current mood.

"I really enjoy the process of creating this kind of mix. 

It can be quite long, but it is worth every minute spent on finding the right moment, the right proportions, time, frequency. Each piece of music is like a special ingredient in a secret potion that, when mixed, brewed and consumed, will transport you deep into the amazing worlds of the immensely talented people who create them.

Gambusia - Terner [Superordinate Dub Waves]

Life's Two Part One

0 градусов — это точка начала. Переход. Момент, когда всё может начаться заново. В контексте фаз — это синусоида, только вступающая в движение, чистое намерение звука, ещё не искажённое, не окрашенное. Это также может быть метафорой «нулевой» температуры — безэмоционального состояния, замершего мира, предвосхищающего движение.

0 degrees is the starting point. The transition. The moment when everything can start anew. In the ninth phase, it is a sine wave just starting to move, the pure intention of sound, not yet distorted, not colored. It can also be a metaphor for the “zero” temperature – an emotionless state, a frozen world, anticipating movement.
