Slumber Session: Big Deal

Four years ago London-based Hejira built a recording studio in their house. They haven't looked back since. Having honed their sound and teamed up with producer Matthew Herbert, the awesome foursome have compiled an impressive selection of tracks - one of which you'll find slap bang in the middle of this dreamy Slumber Session.

It's been running for two years now and has seen some amazing performances from a really diverse selection of artists. The songs on this Slumber Session mix are from a variety of the acts that will be coming with us on what we are calling the TraumTour."

Slumber Session: Hejira

i-D favourites '1080p' are continuing to push good music with their next release from Perfume Advert in the form of a fine slice of low slung, 110 BPM techno, blurring boundaries between house and techno with a dash of RnB groove. A new name to many, Perfume Advert takes on our Slumber Session and let us join in on his downtime. Get ready for the thrills and spills of Perfume Advert's dream world...

"In all honesty, dreaming for me is usually a pretty mundane affair.  Pedestrian activities like going to work or heading down to the local shop for a pint of milk are regular features in my dreams.  Sometimes there might be some short-lived conflict involved, maybe an argument with a friend or a frustrating encounter with a photocopier.  Seriously, my dreams are dull. When I was a bit younger I used to have regular, intense nightmares, usually brought on through stress.  But even then these nightmares were deeply rooted in reality.  I've never had fantastical, bizarre dreams.  Only banal repetition of my everyday life."

Slumber Session: My Nu Leng

This week, LA-based three-piece American Royalty make the slumber session their own. Mixing field recordings with cuts from the 1920s, 30s and 40s, this one's old school, waaay old school. Press play.

"We are big fans of music from the 20s, 30s, and 40s. The simple song structures, the beautiful melodies and harmonies. With our slumber mix, we've taken a bit of the past and placed it within this sort of half-awake landscape of delays and sub frequency bass notes. We think of it as a sun-bleached-Palm-Springs-midday-nap. There are a couple of contemporary guys we've thrown in there as well because they just seemed to fit. No strict rules here. Anyway, here's our best attempt at helping you get unstuck in time and back to the dream state. Float float float away." - @americanroyalty

Tracklist:
1. The Pied Pipers - Whispering  (AR Brainwave edit)
2. Jesse Woods - Gold in the Air
3. KXLU Pete Seeger Tribute - recorded over car radio with cell phone on a rainy day in Los Angeles. 
4. The Four Aces - Dream

"About a year ago I dreamt that I was invited on tour with the Rolling Stones. To my amazement I received an email from their manager that said (quite emphatically) 'Cancel Christmas, you're coming on tour with The Stones’. In the way that dreams do, time then moved quickly forward to a hotel room mid-tour.  Keith, Mick and I were goofing around drinking and such. Mick was making us laugh doing excellent impressions. From nowhere Keith asked me 'Do you want to know the difference between showing and telling and why showing is always more powerful?' I said 'Okay'. He said 'To show something to somebody you have to BE that thing yourself, whereas to merely tell someone about a thing requires nothing from you’" @nick-mulvey

Elizabeth Bernholz is <a href="https://www.facebook.com/gazelletwin">Gazelle Twin</a>. The mystery around her character shows through her music with deep, dark and distorted vocals providing a sense of chilling yet beautiful eeriness. Ripping up the rulebook, Gazelle Twin does things differently, creating a lane of her own within the music world. As she steps up to provide this week's Slumber Session, let the Brighton-based singer and producer take you on a disturbing journey through time, space and sleep. Listen out for two exclusive tracks from the girl herself as you enter the out of body experiences of Gazelle Twin.

"The edge of the bed forms the platform. I am the station building. Spread-eagled over tracks. Inside me, brown tiles, carpeted waiting rooms, walls in beige gloss, green paper towels in dispensers. Geometry binds me. 

A presence is felt before the eyes have seen. A malign figure in a mass of clothes. I become a vase. My head, shoulders, hips and feet. All hollow. I must do everything to fight the gag instinct. I think of sun-baked clay. Then white, glowing, writhing eels slide together, multiplying, bending, oozing.

Flowers ablaze and a black hole engulfs everything. A great pull downwards, into a pit of crystals. Then daylight on a farm. Dwarfed by a vast silo and the buzzing sun."

Slumber Session: Daisuke Tanabe

Soothing and soft, dulcet and dreamy, seven-piece Submotion Orchestra make incredibly exciting music that can only be described as a hybrid of jazz, ambient, soul and electronica rooted in dubstep. The Leeds based band are set to drop their fourth album Alium via Counter Records in November but now they are here to give us a little taster of whats in store. Slow down, kick back and relax to the sound of this week's Slumber Session as SO's frontman Dom tells all on the mix. Enter the sound of Submotion.

"Some of my favourite music that has lasted me since my early teens has been the most relaxing. There is something about the dream-like state induced by closing my eyes & listening to great music that really immerses my brain in all the complexities of space and time in a recording. I imagine myself in a place, and I can imagine where all the sounds are coming from, how far away they are, what time of day it is, and even why I am there. Sometimes I see myself on a beach, drinking rum punch under a palm tree and watching the sunset, while the band/DJ plays from a floral pagoda. Sometimes I see myself on a night bus in the cold concrete metropolis, with the music in my headphones providing an ambient electronic soundtrack, helping me to see the beauty in the miserable weather and crumbling dereliction. I think it all depends on my mood and the mood of the music. I tried to fit a variety of moods into this mix; from the simple-but-effective songs of Fink & Joanna Newsom, to the late-night electronic fizz of Om Unit & Burial, to the stone cold classic dubby downtempo of Lamb and Rhythm & Sound. Of course also with some appropriate Submotion favourites slotted into the mix. I really hope you enjoy listening to this mix as much as I enjoyed putting it together, and I hope it takes you on a relaxing journey into my sound and influences." Dom, Submotion Orchestra.

@International-Feel label boss Mark Barrott found a tape called Songs For Sunsets in a charity shop in Paris and made it his mission to hunt down the unknown artist behind it, eventually tracking down Australian library composer Len Leise. Fast forward and Len is about to release another nature themed EP, Music For Forests, this time through International Feel (out 8th December) and not limited to cassette. On hearing the record, we were transported to a far away world of peace and tranquility, but not before requesting the ultimate Slumber Session. 

Is life getting you down? Press play on this exclusive mix and drift into a 60 minute journey around the world and into a deep sleep. Let the panpipes, rainfall, solo piano, tropical birdcalls, soft sexy jazz and soaring celestial synths calm and sooth your soul. 
	
What does this dreamer dream? "My most recent dream was about a long journey across a barren landscape, so I think these lyrics by Vangelis would set the scene best... We were all uprooted, the earth was stolen from beneath our feet, we became a Diaspora, an unnamed nation of bastards. We channeled our roots to the pulse of light, deep within the galaxies of our mind, our breath was the sky. Our dreams were water, we claimed the wilderness, we recognised each other." - @lenleise
