AEM #8.5 | Alternative Elevator Music by Madera  (Mix Session, Jan 14, 2024)

We first came across the work of Tallinn's Ruxpin in April 2010, when the legendary James Zabiela included two of his tracks in volume 15 of The Master Series: Life, for the equally renowned record label Renaissance. Around that time, DCSIS, the founder of SOULMEEX, was heading up Digitanalogico, the mix series we've been discussing with you over the past few weeks, which unfortunately only had three episodes. After featuring Ivan Smoka and Vasco Ispirian, it’s time to bring things full circle with Ruxpin’s mix, originally posted on May 3rd, 2010, and now revived by yours truly. 

01. Ruxpin - Where the Wild Things Are (Leon Somov Remix) [n5MD] 2010
02. Aris - I've Got a Secret [Self Released] 2009
03. Place of Recovery - Untitled [Unreleased]  ?
04. Landau - Oustdou [Merck] ?
05. Art of Noise - Robinson Cruise [China Records] 1988

AEM #11 | Alternative Elevator Music by Madera (Mix Session, Nov 29, 2024)

In today’s world, society is increasingly driven by deep-seated greed and a relentless pursuit of pleasure. Humanity constantly searches for satisfaction, yet we are rarely content. This lack of fulfillment leads to a cycle of endless production and consumption, causing harm not only to other living beings but also ourselves as we exploit and degrade our precious environment. Throughout history, humans have often viewed animals as soulless and fundamentally different from us. However, animals have the same right to live without discrimination or exploitation. Fauna, a compilation curated by Franck Zaragoza (aka Ocoeur), reminds us that all species on Earth have the right to live and that we all share the same world. More importantly, it emphasizes that our future depends on our actions and the choices we make today. Fauna will be on International Animal Rights Day (Dec 10th), and all proceeds will be donated to the French non-profit association L214.

Triangle (Bitcrush Mix)

Record label, mix series, and live events engineered by DCSIS (@dcsis)

too i for your dm.

Most music made live with 100% modular synthesizer.

Ocoeur is the moniker that French producer Franck Zaragoza uses to perform, record and, release his electronic/ambient compositions. Zaragoza was born in 1988 in Bruges, France, and began learning piano and music in his youth. His influences are vast; however, he mainly culls his inspiration from classical music, movies, and soundtracks. He has also sighted artists such as Vangelis, Boards of Canada, and Moby as influences.

Zaragoza’s music is minimalist, introspective, and immersive, with a penchant for dreamlike and cinematic sounds. His works come wrapped in concept and can embody either experimental/electronic glitch textures and meticulous sound design or neo-classical, focusing on more intimate, dynamic, and organic atmospheres.

Since 2013, Ocoeur has been releasing albums with the n5MD record label and also composes for videogames and documentaries.
