In Machines We Trust + Moon Garden 🪴 🤖 ✨

In the shadow of the Old Grove, where the air hums faintly with the echo of forgotten circuits, the machines remain. Silent sentinels of an earlier ambition, they stand shrouded in moss and time, their purpose long obscured by the creeping tide of nature’s reclamation. But their lights still flicker. Their whispers still linger.

In Machines We Trust ventures into this liminal space—a world where the past and future collide, where rusted gears and fading signals hold the key to what lies ahead. Hosted by Jamie McCue, this series invites you to listen carefully to the voices of the machines, not as mere relics, but as witnesses. What have they seen? What have they learned? And will we, their creators, heed their quiet warnings?

This is a journey through sound and story, through the haze of forgotten futures and the sharp clarity of what could still be. The machines speak. Will we understand?

Some connections take time, and this one feels like the perfect moment. Years ago, I had hoped to feature a mix from Casper for Campfire Stories on Silent Season, and now I'm excited to welcome him back with this special two-hour set for In Machines We Trust.

True to his style, Casper delivers a deep, immersive journey—layered, evolving, and rich in texture. It's the kind of mix that invites you to get lost in the sound. Thrilled to have him in the fold again. Settle in and enjoy.

Casper Clark ~ In Machines We Trust 004

Nems-B (@nemsb) returns with a new mix for In Machines We Trust, and it’s a welcome one. We first connected years ago through Silent Season, when he contributed the beautifully drifting Campfire Stories 43 – Capsule in Orbit to Gliese 581. Since then, he’s been quietly building a strong body of work, with releases on labels like Phonons, On Board Music, Oslated, and Goldmin.

His sound sits in that sweet spot between deep listening and forward motion, dubby, atmospheric, and full of nuance. This new mix feels like a continuation of that world: textured and immersive, like stumbling on forgotten machines deep in the forest, still pulsing with signal.

A pleasure to reconnect. Let this one unfold.

Some mixes arrive right on time. After talking about this for a while, I’m so glad to finally welcome Natalie to In Machines We Trust. (@nataliepopss) Brooklyn + Vancouver Island

Her mix is a deep and playful dive, rooted in 90s textures, downtempo moods, and percussive late-night turns. It weaves through ambient, progressive house, dubby echoes, and vintage electronics with a confident ease. You’ll hear flashes of Aphex Twin, Saint Etienne, Deadbeat, even Tears For Fears, nostalgia without being stuck in the past.

Natalie’s approach is thoughtful and open-eared, blending the sentimental with the strange, the groovy with the meditative. There’s a sense of motion throughout, like walking through a forest of old machines still humming quietly beneath the ferns.

Stoked to have nataliepops in the mix. Let it unfold.
