This summer season on Immersive Love kicks off with a guest mix by Ert (@ertm), plunging listeners into an introspective atmosphere shaped by an alchemical blend of classic Future Garage, WAVE, and adjacent genres.
This carefully curated set will especially resonate with fans of atmospheric electronic music from the mid-2010s, drawing parallels with artists like Burial, Volor Flex, Lapalux, and more.
The mix opens with an exclusive preview of the upcoming single "Close Enough", set to be released on June 20 via Weirdrum Records (@weirdrum-records).

Immersive love - Guest Mix 009 (Ert)

After decades of chasing, accumulating, and then sharing new music with you, I think I've hit some saturation point. I think I'm done spinning in the vortex of the "new", being pulled in all directions, catching up on all the "fresh" and "innovative" tracks. I'm not saying that I will stop covering new music. No. But I think I'll focus the virtual lens of my listening on a very narrow point, investing my time and attention over more extended periods. I think I will turn inwards... towards music and the artists that genuinely make me feel. This is the case with Rafael Anton Irisarri's A Fragile Geography, an album from 2015, which captured my attention then as it does now, triggering memories, triggering thoughts, and emotion. A decade ago, during a move between coasts, Rafael lost his possessions - stolen with the moving truck - along with all his audio archives, forcing him to rebuild his studio and sound from the ground up. The pain of this loss is reflected in almost every single track on the album. This music is slightly dark and melancholic. It's visceral, and it gets under your skin. And there it stays with you for ages. Becoming part of you, becoming part of your existence.

On September 19th, the album will be reissued, beautifully remastered by Stephan Mathieu at his Schwebung studio, along with a limited edition cassette of remixes by the most renowned artists, handpicked by Rafael. "This record has always been about letting go of one life and rebuilding another", says Irisarri, "It feels fitting to return to it now - ten years later, in a different country, a different world." These reworks are worthy of your precious awareness as well. I know that there are more than a few in the pipeline (at least six), which will be revealed one at a time. As of this writing, there is already a gorgeous rework by the one and only William Basinski, with his version of "Secretly Wishing For Rain" with Gary Thomas Wright, which incorporates field recordings of Reseda rain and birds captured by Basinski himself. You can check out a digital stream of that track here. *BUT!* Today, I am premiering for you a second rework by Abul Mogard! This piece bears not only the original elements of "Persistence" but, of course, Guido's extremely personal touch that breathes new life into this sound.

Head over to headphonecommute.com to read more about this release, including a quote from Abul Mogard on the rework.

Look at the little king
He found out all he wanted to know
It doesn’t change a thing
No-one is near to cushion the blow

I found my tribe
If I survive remains to be seen
I feel the need to hide
What does it mean, the end of a dream

I found my tribe
If I survive remains to be seen
I feel the need to hide
What does it mean, the end of a dream

We came so far
To meet the raging breakers on the bar
They leave their mark on the sand
But where is the helping hand

We came so far
To meet the raging breakers on the bar
They leave their mark on the sand
But where is the helping hand

Where is the helping hand
 
We must not separate
Over the sea, the crescent is gone
Time to accept our fate
Whether we lost, or whether we won

I found my tribe
If I survive remains to be seen
I feel the need to hide
What does it mean, the end of a dream 

I found my tribe
If I survive remains to be seen
I feel the need to hide
What does it mean
