If you follow our channel, you are familiar with the man behind Mirror Tapes Recordings and Analogue Attic affiliate, Naarm/Melbourne-based Adam McCoy better known as Citizen Maze. We've been huge fans of McCoy's work both in the studio and behind the decks, which is equally impressive, full of ever-evolving textures and soundscapes. McCoy has found an ideal balance in his style where ambient sounds work in perfect symbioses with dancefloor-oriented percussive grooves, creating a dreamy atmosphere that fits a wide array of settings. 
The mix Citizen Maze made for us is a splendid journey with complex seamless rhythms layered with magnificent melodies and intricate soundscapes. The level of detail in this mix is simply astonishing. 

We are honored to have this mix from Citizen Maze in our catalog, and we hope you'll enjoy it as much as we do.

Read our interview with diskonnected here: https://www.patternsofperception.com/post/a-chat-with-diskonnected

As resident of the revered Taiwanese platform @smokemachinetaipei, @diskonnected is both a tastemaker and selector of wide esteem.
Having been an integral member of the Smoke Machine crew for over a decade, his vision has shaped both the style and presence of the platform, culminating in a range of cutting edge, high-profile events in Taiwan and around the globe, and the irreplaceable Smoke Machine Podcast, which has comfortably been one of the most respected and insightful sources of truth within the wider techno scene since its inception ten years ago.

On a personal level, diskonnected’s wide-ranging and intricately selected sounds are a true local fixture in Taiwan, but his natural prowess and flair as a DJ has seen him reach crowds the world over, with appearances at a multitude of key events in Germany, the UK, Holland, South Korea, Japan, the US and more recently in Streamland, to name but a few. 

Recorded live at a recent event at Pawnshop in Taipei, Patterns of Perception 83 finds diskonnected in an energetic mood, as he takes a vivid, groove-laden dive into the world of contemporary drum & bass. 
In this set, an impeccable array of textures flow effortlessly alongside powerful, irrepressible rhythms to exhilarating effect. Feeling simultaneously invigorating and nostalgic, these 81 mins perfectly capture the colour, vibrancy and spirit of a proper club night in full swing.

Absolutely delighted to present the amazing electro wizard of Oz, https://soundcloud.com/jensen-interceptor, CEO of https://soundcloud.com/internationalchrome He needs no introduction, but I'll have a go...

One of my favourite electro producers of all time alongside Rother, Dynamix II and music creators of that ilk. I have been buying his records since day one and have amassed quite the collection due to his insane productivity.

Jensen Interceptor's style is perfect for the Warehouse. Banging, Dark, Wonky and Robotic, delivered with energetic venom! His collaborations with Assembler Code are legendary and also worthy of a mention.

In the last month alone, I have purchased three records just because of Jensen Interceptor remixes on them. Can't wait to play them all.

Following her hypnotic "Tabula Rasa" EP on Lobster Theremin in April, La Fraicheur brings her punk encoded techno to the podcast series. Strap in for a mix that explores the raw and ravey sides of techno whilst celebrating her favourite women, non-binary and queer producers.

In La Fraicheur's words:
Always using a podcast as a platform for new voices, this mix showcases the communities I am lucky to be a part of. The tracklisting includes mainly women, non-binary and queer producers and their pandemic creations. It spans from Barcelona cyborg and transpecies artist Manel de Aguas who created ambient from the weather variations captured by his head antennas, to the strong sisterhood of women-led queer techno activists of Berlin, Paris and Warsaw. At the heart of this hour going from 127 to 140bpm, is my love for the diversity of technoES, plural, carrying a punk energy.

Danza Nativa Invites 05 - Birds Ov Paradise (LIVE)

Adam McCoy is a musician and dj based in Melbourne, Australia. To some he might perhaps be better known as Citizen Maze, a producer who has developed a following for his abstract, ethereal take on ambient, house and techno.

His two releases on Analogue Attic were critically acclaimed for their wise, deep and pensive approach to the genre. They cemented him as a producer operating at a level very much beyond his years. 

When he approached us and asked if he could contribute a mix to our series we weren't entirely sure what to expect, we knew it might be dreamy, we knew it would be dubbed out. However, it's wholeheartedly interesting and refreshing to see an artist deliver a mix showcasing a different side to their own musical interests.

This time Adam digs deep for obscure IDM, Drum n Bass and focusses on setting a mood. 

This is a beautiful mix, strap in.

Further Information: bleep.com/features/bleep-mix-196-Derek-Carr

Allegiant of the Detroit-via-Sheffield club sound and innovator of minimal electronic music, Irish producer Derek Carr has earned his status as a high-ranking official of modern deep house with releases all over the map, from Subwax to Craigie Knowes to his own Trident Recordings imprint. As such, Carr’s exclusive Bleep mix comes off as a perfect DJ set of interwoven rhythms, complexly layered textures and ingenious drop deferrals. Carr vibes off his own track ‘Arrival’ just as much as Bufo Bufo’s ‘Scrying Mirror’ or Iron Galaxy’s ‘Refining ‘Fire’, his steady melding of beats keeping the entire hour between the 120-130 bpm dancefloor-primed sweet spot.

Few DJs have impacted their local communities like Lisbon's Photonz. For little over a decade now, the Rádio Quântica and mina co-founder has been crafting his own deeply personal style of Portuguese house and techno. As a DJ, Photonz grew a reputation for deep crates and intensely euphoric sets.

For this week's mix he brought a open and spacious selection full of confrontational energy and raw textures, while connecting the dots between house, techno and electro with finesse.

For home use only’ is an anti-club social, a chance to get to know someone/something. A series of transmissions purely dedicated to exploring the other side.

To the dedicated few and the newly dedicated, this is a celebration laced with appreciation. The cause for this - we’ve reached a modern-day milestone. We’ve made it to 30 (which is a total of about 3 in podcast years). Honestly, I never thought I'd make it to 30, but I soon came to realise how much good music is out there, and how I should use my powers for good rather evil, so here we are. 

For this momentous occasion, we have a very fitting transmission. Something that he and I have been working towards for the last two years. The man responsible for an audible gift from the gods is none other than Andy Hart himself, aka the slug face millionaire aka choices from the lake aka undies. I call Andy not only a good friend but also a good inspiration, a good breath of fresh country air, a good dose of realism and just a flat out good person. I’ve lived with him, I’ve traveled with him and I’ve shared more than a towel with him. I can comfortably say that Andy will be at my wedding, my funeral and everything in between. 

This mix is the perfect summary of the journey so far. I'd like to think we’ve explored quite a lot over the last couple of years, and I'd also like to think that there’s so much more out there. This perfectly woven galactic tapestry transcends every aspect that you think you know about most things and rewrites the rest. The culmination of many years of putting tracks aside has paid off immensely. The thought and the planning behind this mix actually baffle’s me. It’s the perfect narrative without the narrative, a story without words, a tale of triumph. I may sound a bit dramatic but you obviously haven’t listened to it yet. Just shy of 4 hours, this is the perfect soundtrack to your life in general. It transcends not only stages of the day but also stages of your mind. I'm yet to find the perfect moment/space to listen to it but I think a long drive back from a really good holiday would fit perfectly - or just a cruisey Sunday spring afternoon at home. 

Honestly, just press play and see what happens. 

Come talk to me after. 

Be well.

Seattle-based CCL (@ccl-tuf) is a DJ, promoter and curator. They’re a founding member of TUF, a local collective focused on community-building and creating visibility for underrepresented artists in dance music. Known for bold musical choices, CCL blends a caleidoscope of rhythms, usually playing a mixture of deep, immersive breaks, electro, techno and bass music. Ahead of their Unsound Kraków 2019, CCL has prepared an exciting mix full of deep sounds, bookended by experimental Polish music from past and present. Enjoy!

Unsound Podcast 56: CCL

Oceanic makes distinctly modern house and techno with attention grabbing synths and lithe sound design. The Dutchman's production is often quirky and curious and finds him bringing plenty of subtly inventive new ideas to his grooves. They have come on the likes of Nous'klaer Audio, while last year he put out a live recording of one of his many sets at Amsterdam's De School. It was an experimental ambient mix from the club's auditorium and this week he starts in a similar fashion before getting down to his more dance floor orientated sound. 

The mix races up to speeds of 150bpm, often with hyperactive drum programming and day glo synths lighting up the airwaves. The whole thing races by like a high speed hallucination, a trip to another dimension that somehow never sounds like house, or techno, or anything in between. It is genre-fluid, thrillingly unusual music littered with alien lifeforms and cyborg funk of the highest order.

Welcome Citizen Maze to the Butter Mix!

For lovers of deep-ambient-techno, feathery jungle and slightly sinister dub wise vibrations. Keep an ear out for his next EP on Analogue Attic coming soon!

Butter Mix #94 - Citizen Maze

I discovered Adam through his EP on @analogueattic, which has become one of my longstanding favourite local releases.  I've been a big fan of his creations ever since.

I love the way he always manages to find the perfect balance between ambient and dance, with many of his tracks featuring acoustic instruments. Every new track he sends me is even more charming, innovative and unique than the last.

Thanks for this beautiful mix Adam! @citizenmaze

Animix Ten: Citizen Maze

@citizenmaze, a.k.a. Adam McCoy, is among the most interesting talents to emerge from Melbourne in recent years. As an artist, much of his work explores the interplay between ambient sounds, acoustic instrumentation and dance music, creating lush, beautiful compositions which also find a natural fit as sophisticated club pieces. 

This approach was perfectly highlighted in his 2018 release on @analogueattic, Serenity In The Woods. Produced using a gaming laptop, a motorised Beringher mixer, and Fruity Loops, this EP showcases richly textured, intricate soundscapes, and blended field recordings with organically percussive grooves and live instrumental elements - all drenched in some of the most sublime-sounding pads we’ve had the pure pleasure of hearing. 

On the horizon for 2020-21 is the release of a second EP on Analogue Attic, plus the launch of Adam's own label, Mirror Tapes, which promises to delve deeper into the intersection of ambient sounds, dance music and experimental sound design.

This mix for Patterns of Perception, recorded alone at home on a stormy isolation-period night, also showcases Adam’s masterful attention to texture and soundscape, but in rhythmical terms brings more energy and intensity. Seemingly effortless shifts between tempos and genres flow organically, yet never muddy the distinctive atmosphere – both industrial and dreamy – present throughout the recording.

Rosa 009 - Citizen Maze

"This mix was made after a couple of weeks collecting music and producing non stop. Definitely a way to get me through isolation. I recorded all of it alone whilst sipping cheap wine in the dining room - it's actually fun to party by yourself once in a while - you feel that you don't have to read the crowds vibe, you just do as you please" @citizenmaze

Next on the podcast is this full-field wonder from Naarm/Melbourne's Citizen Maze, member of the beloved Analogue Attic family and curator of the Mirror Tapes series. This set is a boundless horizon, a mix overflowing with so much pure, radiant feeling that you'll swear it was twice as long. Its density is staggering, yet moments of gentle and poetic bliss coalesce like visions in the fog. As melody burns into afterimage and heartbeat becomes rhythm, our senses give in completely. Enjoy this one, and thanks Citizen Maze!

Ransom Note is an online music, arts and culture magazine. We provide a home for readers and writers with boundless enthusiasm, esoteric knowledge, fierce opinions and impeccable taste.

With our core team immersed in all aspects of dance music, we publish news, articles, and interviews covering the greatest in innovative, underground culture from across the globe. We offer regular, exclusive music and mixtapes from our favourite artists, and publish features shining a light on everything from the freshest new artists to the untold tales from rave history.

Alongside this we offer musings on film, books, life, and art, generating some context and controversy as an antidote to the reheated PR that clogs up the internet. Our office is fuelled by Tunnock’s Bars, cat memes, hangovers and a ridiculous, never ending love for our culture.

We're always interested in getting new writers on board – feel free to get in touch if you’ve got a story to tell.

With love until the grave.
