London-based artist Bianca Scout moved from her home of Newcastle to immerse herself in her work as a dancer and musician. As well as exploring the connection between the two mediums, her creative activity concerns itself with the imagination and unlocking your spiritual potential, realised through her fuzzy potion of experimental sound collage and wistful vocal snippets. 

She translates these creations through performance, her self-released output and on records for labels like Jungle Gym, Opal Tapes sub-label Beatrice & Annie and Infinito Audio Network. More recently she contributed a track to Blank Mind’s Comme de Loin compilation, alongside contemporaries like Lack, Big Hands and Clara de Asis, which explored everything from textural ambient and field recordings to spaced-out modular work and intricate instrumentation.

Noting that Monday's 'can have very different tones', Bianca put together two mixes for us to pick from: 'one for a blue sky' and 'one for a rainy day'. We are treated to the former which she delves into in more detail on site...

It’s been 1 year since our one of the dearest residens @amin_diamin joined our fam🎉🥂! Don’t miss her insane show, Circadian Rhythm w. Diamin guest Lychee

——————-

How does the presence or absence of light regulates our internal biological processes and moods?
Circadian rhythms are endogenous time-keeping systems that synchronize most organisms, from unicellular cyanobacterium to humans, to the external solar cycle. Since light information is the most potent synchronizing factor, biological clocks coordinate the individual’s internal physiological and biochemical processes according to light and dark cycles.

The show is divided into two sets of 1 hour and the musical selection of each DJ reflects those moments: day or night. In this episode Lychee (US) is in charge of the first part of the program, and Diamin (CL) of the second.

Electroménager avec Upsammy & Jacques Torrance - 17 février 2022

Belia Winnewisser never set out to be a DJ, it just happened. Music had always been at the core of the Zurich-based producer and musician's life but it wasn't until she moved in with a friend who had a DJ set up that she decided to add this to her musical ventures. 

As an artist Belia's background in Sound Arts and Contemporary Arts led her into the field of sound design, an interest that now makes up her day-to-day work at a radio station in her home city.

Outside of work she's a composer, singer and keyboardist who, as well as writing music solo for labels like Präsens Editionen, Spa Recordings and most recently Die Orakel, is part of a handful of collaborative projects including α=f/m, a pop duo with Rolf Laureijs, and as part of indie band Silver Fir.

On this week's mix she showcases her love of club-focused sounds, with a nod to her sound design training, that begins with the blissful sounds of Sign Libra before working its way through slick house, acid and breaks from the likes of Anz, Otik and Bliss Inc.

le visage pâle et cerné comme la lune 
dans ton calme, tu m’as cernée, tu m’as lue
mes yeux ne mentiront pas tant que je serai dans tes bras

donne moi un petit bout de ton coeur 
laisse moi ressentir toutes tes peurs 
et quand tu pleures de douleur  
tes larmes coulent et moi c’est comme si je meurs 

_____

pale and shadowed face, like the moon
in your silence, you saw through me, you read me
my eyes won’t lie as long as i’m in your arms

give me a little piece of your heart
let me feel all of your fears
and when you cry in pain
your tears fall and it’s like i’m dying too
