Soothers #03 is brought to you by Texas-based producer Gi Gi, taking us on a jazz-based journey of skittering rides and cascading woodwinds.

"This one was an exercise in tying together two disparate but interconnected styles: 21st century electronic jazz & a loosely idm-y strain of 90’s downtempo electronic music. The first third or so focuses on the former, the middle bit on the later, & the last section a sort of imprecise blend of the two. I find there’s a parallel in the complexity of the jazz instrumentalists’ performances & the electronic producers’ programming, a virtuosic streak that's balanced with restraint in service of texture & mood. I like how in many of these tracks it’s hard to parse what is organic vs synthetic— a live saxophone recording may be chopped & looped so that it sounds like a sample; likewise, a sample may be smoothed and blended so that you're fooled into thinking it’s a live take. Both of these styles share the sort of tranquil quality you’d associate with “ambient music”, but are (to my ears) a little more engaging or stimulating than your typical static, droning example of the genre due to a heavier emphasis on movement, both rhythmic & melodic. Think of it as a different panel of the ambient umbrella— Active Ambient?”

@hystericalloveproject

Discovering last year’s Hysterical Love Project’s self-released debut album “Endless Bliss Weekender” was a personal highlight. Resulting in a release on Knekelhuis as Ike Zwanikken at the ‘and felt like...’ compilation. Hysterical Love Project is the project from the love couple Brooklyn & Ike. In which they craftfully compose a refreshing modern take on the slow sensual realm of Triphop, Ambient and hazy shoegaze. 

They will release their first physical album soon on the amazing label Motion Ward. And there is an unreleased upcoming track in here. Bliss.

For the extended Q&A & OG pi pi pi track game... please visit our website -----> pipipi.life <-------

Introduce yourself? Pronouns? Where do you currently reside? 

Hello, I’m Jake Muir (he/him). I make music and DJ. I’m from LA, spent several years in Seattle, and currently living in Berlin. 

What sound would you listen to… if it was the only thing you could listen to 24/7?

Ice melting 

Describe in detail your favorite place in the club?

I tend to situate myself in the middle so I get the proper stereo spread. If I forget my earplugs, in the back. If a friend is playing, I try to be closer to the front.

Best gig of your life so far?

Honcho Campout. It was really special all around.

What is the theme song of your mind on 100mg edible?

Wichita Forever



If you could transfer all your knowledge from what you do now into something completely different, what would it be and why?

If I wasn’t working in sound, I’d probably be into mixology. There’s a lot of parallels between making cocktails and music. Some people referred to Philip Jeck as an alchemist. 

Longest you've stayed up and why?

It might be when I played through Metal Gear Solid 3 in one go, 24 hrs, over a thanksgiving break back in high school. 

What is your most recent favorite DJ mix and why?

https://soundcloud.com/ziurinhell/now-now-refuge-worldwide-w-ziur-ran-cap-duoi

This guest mix from Vietnamese band Rắn Cạp Đuôi_, on my friend Ziur’s Refuge Worldwide program, might be my favorite mix of the year. It’s super wild and kinda plays with the idea of what a mix can be.


Any advice to upcoming DJs/producers? 

Develop your own voice, even if it’s super niche, and don’t be afraid to take risks. Think about your own background and identity and what you can bring to the table with that. 

What would you like to see in the future for the dance community?

More chillout rooms, genre/style hopping, and care for one another.

"Be practical and love yourself" — Blueboy

We’re back on Skylab after a while offline (the station recently moved to Quiet Time in Clifton Hill) and we're joined by the one and only P Relief. Parker's dublab show was a big inspiration for us getting started with our thing so it feels extra special to welcome him on to the Naarm airwaves. His mix starts in the second hour of the show. Enjoy.

Sunday Mix: Perila

"Foggy downtempo atmospheric mix to feel and dissociate for a second in a warm fog. Big floor energy as I like to call these stoner moods."

Perila is a St. Petersburg-born, Berlin-based sound and visual artist, DJ and performer who works to explore the sensitive borderlines and depths of subtle matter. Her music explores thick narratives with shifting moods and textures, allowing the listener to drift through a rich psychedelic sound palette. Perila’s passion for radio led her to curate and design Berlin Community Radio, where she hosted monthly for four years, and to co-found Russian online station radio.syg.ma which specializes in experimental soundscapes. In addition to showcasing her unique ventures through ambient music, her show has also welcomed the likes of Andrew Pekler, Dynamo Dreesen, and Tomoko Sauvage. Perila also curates an online community WET (Weird Erotic Tension), which explores ideas of sonic sexuality in mixing spoken word, poetry, ASMR and field recordings. Since 2020 Perila has been involved with the musical projects Aseptic Stir, LOG, and Critical Amnesia.

Soundscapes Volume 2 • Perila - One Leg Stroking You Another In Water

4th episode of my show at @refugeworldwide. Germany is one of a handful of countries whose artists have influenced my interest in sampling and found sound, so I decided to dedicate this set to German post-industrial music, sound art, concrète, etc.

Ian Kim Judd - Leave No Trace (Side A & B) 2020

~ a meadow of flowers ~

After a dark year+ of life's growing pains, with the decision to move home to Wales, ending a big relationship, reaching for the future self.
A meadow of flowers became my light, a vision of the future and a safe space to grow, to reclaim my senses.
During all the change, the vision of the meadow would keep me calm and somehow became my beacon.

Now I'm living amongst the meadows, nurturing the soul, resetting, mourning, celebrating, all that came before.

To be able to share this soundpiece on that day, my birthday, full moon rising of course, meant so so much.
To see all these conscious beings feel it, go into the soil, feel the growing journey, then dance like frolicking flowers, was so special, eternally grateful for that platform to express the truth <3

Thank you so much to the Les Siestes community, was such a special festival, to celebrate adventurous sound. 
A free public event, set in the Japanese zen garden in Toulouse.
The wether was so moody all weekend, but somehow the concerts stayed dry, then sun even came out for my set, a birthday gift to me :))
Will treasure that day forever xx
