As co-founder of the MNML SSGS blog, Chris SSG was at the heart of dance music's most pressing discussions and cutting edge sounds from 2007 - 2012. Though originally from Melbourne, he has been based between Osaka and Tokyo for some time. It is in that city that he has hosted a number of events while also playing his own ambient, techno and experimental sets further afield around Japan as well as at European clubs like Nachtdigital, Sustain-Release and Berghain.  

He says of this week's mix, "Half-jokingly I describe my style as ‘big room ambient’. Well, for two years, I did not play in any rooms, big or small. Then, finally I did, again, and this was what happened. This is the recording of an extended extended ambient and deep space session at a chill out party in Tokyo. I tried to play in a way that really captures my approach to playing ambient, moving between different energies and making contrasts, while featuring many of my favourite artists. This was a special experience for me, and I am very grateful to be able to share it with you." And he does just that over the course of four absorbing and compelling hours. Myriad different worlds are explored from textured and tense to blissed out and beautiful, but the whole mix is held together with a narrative arc that is greater than the sum of its parts.

Sewer sender avec Ben Kaczor & Orion - 17 Février 2023

In 2019, following a weekend playing in Berlin, I experienced a prolonged psychotic episode, my second (and first since 2004). The consequences  to my life and career were manifold and all-encompassing, and by the time the psychosis was retriggered in early 2021, the volition to engage with music on any meaningful level was utterly waylaid. Fortunately, I've been in good health since, and decided to undertake the Fitzcarraldo-like task of listening to and organising my entire digital library. I'm still not sure why I felt compelled to 'sort through the wreckage' in this way, but something told me there would be some kind of meaning to be derived from the endeavour. And I've decided to document the journey with a series of mixtapes, some of which will have a loose theme of sorts, such as this one. While there will be some new or recent music included, the vast majority of the tracks will have been collected in the last 10 years or so. 

I hope you will enjoy listening as much as I've been enjoying putting these together.
