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.

Constructions returns for the 60th instalment with an hour-long live sound performance from Japan's Muzan Editions label boss, Endurance.

"In the past few years, I have been lucky enough to open for a lot of techno parties in Japan, and this has had a big impact on my sound as a performer. My live sets used to lean more towards the prettier, new-age side of ambient, but as that doesn't particularly suit dark clubs in Osaka and Tokyo, I have tried to push my sound towards the more minimal and intense regions of ambient.

This is a set from a show I played in Osaka with Peter van Hoesen in November. I remember being terribly nervous while setting up my modular, as PvH was standing right behind me doing a soundcheck (I'm a big fan)! Nevertheless, I think the set went well, setting the tone for the party and the music to come. When I looked up towards the end, the dance floor was nearly full, and people were swaying back and forth with their eyes shut. As someone doing ambient, there's no clearer sign that you're doing something right than that."

Endurance is the ambient project of Osaka-based Joshua Stefane. Using modular synthesizers, field recordings, and cassette tapes, Endurance’s sound has become increasingly minimal and tonally-focused over the years, employing a minimum of elements to create a maximum of expressiveness. In addition to releasing from labels such as Constellation Tatsu and Mystery Circles, Endurance also curates the Japan-based tape label Muzan Editions.

He is part of the organizing team for Moment, a techno festival in Nara. As a live performer, he has appeared at numerous high-profile events such as Star Festival, Moment, and Rural, with an increasing emphasis on bringing deep ambient soundscapes to techno music parties.

Live recording of an ambient DJ set at Springkell, November 2022. It really is the best room and setting to play this kind of music. Massive thanks again to @o-utlier and @astralindustries for organising.

Featuring tracks by Howes, Third Space, Pent, Tonto and more. Huge respect as always to the producers.

Springkell Ambient Set - November 22

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.”

It’s been a hot minute since our latest Podcast Series offering and we can’t be happier to celebrate the first glimpses of Spring with this patiently blossoming and deliciously crafted mix by our dear friend, the London-based DJ and producer ~ Samson A.K ✨

A resident at the Introspective Electronics' affiliated Terra Obscura events, Sam hosted a number of regular shows on Balamii and Noods, spinning left-field flavours of techno, bass, ambient and everything in between and inviting intriguing guests to contribute their take on oddball electronica spanning a refreshing variety of moods and weights. Sam is closing the upcoming Terra Obscura at Ormside Projects on 20th May alongside Cousin, The Outsert (live) and our own Avsluta on warm-up duties. This one is for all you London-dwelling lovers and dreamers 🧡

Now, position yourself comfortably and give your full attention to the soothing ambient plateaux spilling over into tender, dubbed out bass and deliciously juicy grooves of Samson A.K 💆🏼‍♀️

RE-FORMED FORMATIONS.

This recording was made on the first day of explosive news and lock-down in the Spanish pandemic. The day before I moved to a lonely and really old house on the mountains, and despite the deep social and geographic isolation here, the news and the intimidating atmosphere was arriving from everywhere in all the forms and channels, so dystopian, so scary, so unreal. Alone by decision and with a new kind of  heartbeat that i've never experienced before, sat down to put some music together for my new friends and the experimented ears of the Godmother Radio. Hope it can fill some space of your time at home, crossing the imaginary fields I mixed with tracks by Pepo Galan & David Cordero, Warmth, Docetism, Tarek Soltani, Global Communication, Adhémar, Silentwave, Deru, ataxy, Stigr Asc & Sam KDC and ending on Suicide's track "I remember" that was sounding quite often before all this new world order started. Stay safe, stay creative and stay positive.
