There are many different ways that the biosphere affects climate. Some produce greenhouse gases and promote warming of our planet through the greenhouse effect, while others reduce the amount of greenhouse gases promoting cooling of our planet. Thereby, by trapping heat, greenhouse gases contribute to our planet's warming and the biosphere provides the necessary environmental conditions for survival. And of course, Biosphere is the moniker of one Geir Janssen, who has been a constant influence on ambient music throughout his career. From Space to Earth, I hope you will enjoy your flight with Chill Air in the Biosphere (=

The Biosphere (From Space to Earth)

Welcome.

We are honoured to be opening the series with a gorgeously arranged mix by Sydney-based artist and mastering engineer, Marcus Miller, aka OVRSCN.

A mix compiled entirely of Australian-based artists, Marcus notes: "It's likely that many of these artists do not know each other personally, so it's interesting to think that there isn't really an ambient "scene" in Australia. But yet, there is still some similarity to our output.”

Thank you for beginning this journey with us, Marcus.

This month, we welcome our dear friend Shimon Danziger to the series, aka Celeryman.

Born and raised in Sydney, Shimon cut his teeth on the city’s club and warehouse scene. As 1/3 of the Innerspace collective, he ran a series of techno parties, hosting the likes of Peter Van Hoesen, DJ Nobu, Haruka and Wata Igarashi.

Having regularly attended and been influenced by outdoor festivals such as The Labyrinth, he moved to Japan during the pandemic and now lives with his wife in the countryside of the Oita prefecture. He has become an active member of the burgeoning Oita music scene, centred around a very special club, Azul, where this mix was recorded.

“This mix is a meditation on my recent musical journey. The move to Japan, coupled with the pandemic, has given me a stronger connection with nature and accelerated a shift in my listening habits away from the dance floor. I threw in a bunch of old favourites, some new finds, tracks from friends and quite a few Japanese artists who I have become familiar with since moving here. The scene here is unique, in that the deeper you look, there’s always more to find. And it makes me happy to be surrounded by people who take music so seriously.”

Ridds is a Sydney-based DJ whose musical sensibility has had a profound influence on us over the years. 

A member of the indelible DUNJ crew, he is known for entrancing audiences with deep, rhythmic psychedelia.

We invited him to spend some time away from the dance floor and take us on this beautiful cosmic journey in sound.

“This mix is a journey through some of my favourite ambient psychedelic peices. Ambient music has always been a great aid for me when seeking flow, be it exercising or being creative. Produced by a wide range of (mostly) dance music producers, this collection of tracks are inspired by the other worldly.”

Patricia Wolf is a musician, sound designer and DJ, residing in Portland, Oregon. Wolf uses electronics, voice and field recordings to produce non-linear compositions that draw listeners to a hypnotic inner world. Her use of melody and repetition manipulate the listeners' perception of time, conjuring vivid textures and atmospheres. In 2022 she released her first two solo albums, “I’ll Look For You In Others” and “See-Through”.

“For this mix, I set out to create a flowing stream of music that one could put on at bedtime. My hope is that this music can help others drift into a vivid dreamland.”

Toner was first introduced to underground music while studying abroad in Taiwan, where he was awakened by modern techno.

After returning to Japan, he became captivated by Tokyo’s club and rave scene, and naturally progressed to become involved with numerous events as both a supporter and music journalist.

Together with Toss and Kaana, he now runs "LIMINAL DREAMS”. A community of enthusiasts, deeply focused on electronic, ambient and experimental music. "LIMINAL DREAMS" pays homage to the psychedelic chill-out culture that has been prevalent since the 60’s.

“Uneven Beauty”

“Recently, I had the opportunity to be surrounded by the beautiful port city of Keelung, Taiwan. It was a very calming and tranquil experience.

During this time, I reflected on a variety of musical experiences in recent years, to explore various sounds for this mix. I wanted to capture the beauty and tranquility of an outdoor music festival and combine it with the beauty of an intimate smoky venue.

I often find beauty in the ephemeral and feel a strong connection between music and the natural world. I hope you can enjoy this mix as a session that transcends time and space between great musicians.

I pay my respects to all of the artists.”

RAINING IN CHICAGO『ADTURNUP 』

Now, this one is technically cheating a little bit... It's not quite a mix but a live set but who really cares? 

Anyway, Alex Albrecht is a producer and dj from Australia. He releases music under the guise of Melquíades and has done so to great acclaim for Scissor & Thread and his own Analogue Attic imprint. He also produces music alongside Sean La'Brooy as part of a dynamic duo who have appeared on Night Tide, Voyage Recordings and Butter Sessions to name a few. 

Alex has a sound which is fundamentally rooted in the deeper fringes of dance and electronic music. Drawing upon influences from the natural world his music could be described as a subtle blend of balearic intricacies, deep house, electronica and beyond. His sound is reminiscent of the nineties in which breaks and the ethereal ruled supreme under the principle of free thinking dance music and psychedelics. 

With a recent EP for Scissor & Thread and a new collaborative release for Apollo Records he is having a busy summer. 

Presently on tour, this mix was recorded as a live set from somewhere along the way and it really is very special indeed.

After a short break we are back on the grid, or in it? DJ Ingrid digs deep to find us big energy within slow soulful grooves. An hour and a half of travel time that is just as heavy as it is soaring through the sky. This Vinyl only expedition (with the exception of the nod to Sydney in the intro) is both a perfect farewell to Summer, and a welcoming for those on the other side of the sphere. Melt away from whichever direction it may be coming from.
