Ambient Mixes 2

Για τους φίλους

Mixes & Freebies

Animix Forty One presented by Austin, Texas based DJ/ Producer Gi Gi ( @keptmale ) with a beautiful trip. The artist focuses on deep and contemplative listening in this xtra long mix.  

In their own words, Gi Gi writes, "the idea for these mixes is to be a collection of longer-form tracks (7+ min) that demand (imo) to be heard front to back, producing a patient wander of a listen, and to serve as a greatest hits of sorts of songs that are especially personal/special to me-- as opposed to just an attempt to show off the deepest digs i've stumbled on (a thought pattern i think i and many other selectors can get caught up in at times..)."

Love the idea behind this mix, and it's the perfect extended listen for a sunny or rainy day wherever you are. 

Gigi released an LP on Quiet Tapes earlier this year, and has a few more LPs in the works, due out later this year --https://quiettimetapes.bandcamp.com/album/lumino-pleco

Thanks again for this one, Gi Gi!

Corell is a moniker of Roman Kutnov – producer, composer and sound artist from Moscow, Russia. During the last decade he worked as a solo artist as well as being involved in collaborative projects ranging from indie-rock bands to improv and contemporary academic music collectives. Having an art background Roman works with artists, performers and choreographers providing music for multimedia installations, dance and theatrical performances.
In 2017 he started Corell - a cross-genre project with the focus on ambient and experimental electronic/techno music. In his works he attempts to find a distinctive sound through combining polymetric beats, atmospheres, textures, mutating and morphing loops and rhizomatic composition structures.

These are the 2 first hours of my Chateau Perché Set - the come back after the lockdown - and a crazy energy and absolute bliss that I'm already missing! I definitely lost myself to the dance floor at this place. Was a huge family pleasure to play after @niju-1 and before @elmagomusic and @andiandean . With mistakes and experimentations this set it's almost a restart after 2 years and a relearning of how is it to be in front of a real audience again. Thank you for the invite @akanordin and @perchepolis-label .  

And a curious happening was that I had recently discovered @temple-tears amazing music and he came to the stage to say hello as I was playing his track <3 

Note about the intro: The poetry is from chilenean artist Catalina Tello part of her project "Universo Umame" which I had the pleasure to contribute with my voice.

I hope this Set can bring good summer memories to the winter arriving. :P

For last year's label compilation, I mentioned how I hoped to invite a guest DJ to compile the next edition, and here we are. Of course, it just had to be our long-term musical companion, a good friend of mine, and well-respected DJ, todos.

I was first introduced to todos through his well-respected Kilchurn Mix series. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, they remain some of my favorite mixes of all time (listen to them all on the ASIP site when you get a chance). His ability to craft a narrative, manipulate samples and respect the grey area between ambient and electronic music, is second-to-none.

Since blogging about his mixes all the way back in 2008, and inviting him to compile a special isolatedmix a few years later, Doug (todos) and I have stayed in touch and connected further after learning we grew up with very similar musical trajectories. Doug also coincidentally, ended up living where my family is today (and where I spent my life growing up) in a surprising twist of fate. And in 2021, after years of speaking online, we finally got to meet, play records (in real life!), and go for a long overdue beer.

I always earmarked Doug to be a part of ASIP somehow, so it is my absolute pleasure to hand over the DJ reins for the 2021 compilation edition. Doug had free choice over which tracks to choose, as long as he included one track from each release of the year. The result is a very special mix, taking us through the ASIP 2021 release catalog in his unique, signature, https://soundcloud.com/djtodos style.

“2021 has been another tough year but the music that has come out of it has been wonderful. With so many excellent releases on the ASIP label, it was exciting yet challenging to be asked to showcase a few on this mix. Massive thanks go out to Ryan for the opportunity and trust in letting me do this, the artists for their incredible talent and hard work, and lastly all the supporters of this music we love, I hope you enjoy.”- https://soundcloud.com/djtodos

3,2,1.. lift off! Mukuna's tornado is heading your way and the only possible thing to do is to surrender to the tension. Industrial percussion, broken beat and glacial synthesisers are soaking you right into the eye of the storm. A variety of drums combined with African chants are another introduction of a new whirly roundabout. Fast and furious melodies are evolving into a mind-bending techno track, ready to hypnotise and sweep you of your feet in Mukuna’s twister. A refreshing blend of dancehall influenced tracks with jacking house and rhythmic noice keeps the mix interesting till the very last second until the storm settles. Enjoy flying!

RADIO.D59B / ON BOARD #1 w/ Laura BCR, Nems-B, Refracted

GiGi FM is a trained dancer, which gives her a deeper insight into the intrinsic relationship between music and bodily movement. You can read a lot more about her philosophy and approach in the interview below, but you don't even need to know about it to hear this in her RA Podcast—a collection of swirling deep techno that rivals anything made by the usual cohort of "hypnotic" techno heads.

Looking at the tracklist doesn't really do it justice, but the names involved give you an idea of what to expect: Varuna, ASC, Donato Dozzy, The Orb, Sunju Hargun. This is techno that ripples rather than bludgeons, that moves with an ethereal grace, where tracks bleed into one another beautifully, with a few surprises, too. While you're here, you should check out her Magnetite EP for Bambounou's label Bambe, already one of the young year's most bewitching techno records. But if this is your introduction, then turn off the lights, light a candle or some palo santo, and sink into two hours of your new favorite techno DJ.

This set was recorded during the launch of Oddity Radio, which happened in Paris on the 2nd April 2022. A new project initiated by yours truly which is not a radio in the true sense of the word, more a collective hub which gathers a selection of our favorite record labels, showcasing playlists from each of their back catalogues and occasional exclusive mixes. These independent labels are some of the finest of their kind, filled with artists and attitudes that we believe exemplify a creative spirit for the future. Carving a niche in anything from the esoteric to the leftfield, global dance or laidback ambience alike. We strive to open a path into their psyches through sounds, words and visions. Bringing these like-minded folk together for the first time, allowing their tunes to breath harmoniously side by side in a continuous mix of complimentary aural delights.

Listen back to our first guest show on Noods Radio. 07/05/2022

Captured Visions w/ The Vision Reels - Noods - 07/05/22

‘For home use only’ is an anti-club social, a chance to get to know someone/something. A series of transmissions purely dedicated to exploring the other side.

Music is an anchor in life, useable in any if not every scenario to shift or change your current mood. It's something that you have complete control of (unless you’re in someone else’s car), this control, I find is somewhat taken for granted every now and then and I think in this strange time of our lives it's very important to take control of what you can. Speaking of control, it's something our next guest has mastered, A Naarm favourite Bex. 

Hard work, dedication, and a belief in one's self are the holy trinity to the path of evolution, All of these factors Bex has mastered. Through years and years of commitment to her craft, Bex has steeled herself amongst her peers and their dance floors, forever increasing her orbit and her listeners inside of it. Encompassing the pure aesthetics of Dj’ing (an understanding of rhythm and how people react to it), she has cemented herself as a staple DJ all across Naarm as well pushing the same ethos with her own party series “Spincycle” (HOT TIP!!). She’s here to stay and it fills me with confidence for the future. 

The mix itself beautifully encompasses the very thing I’ve set out to explore, the other side. For someone who is consistently filling dance floors, you can tell Bex has done herself justice in reaching into her musical peripherals and wholeheartedly enjoyed doing it. Ecstatic trips into euphoria electronica, A consistent theme explored in its whole, done masterfully. Computer-generated soul at its finest, using BPM as a narrative tool, she takes us on a trip through her own mind, leaving no stone unturned. After countless play-throughs, I still find little details that excite me, her technical skills on full display for the world to see. A perfect summary of Bex herself. Enjoy it every way you can. 

Her words >>>> "when I was making the mix I was kind of thinking it was like a bit of a love story. It has lots of songs that have been prominent in my past relationships and lots of songs about love and with love in the title. It’s a bit of a story of the history of love (and heartbreak)"

interview: www.lowendtheorists.com/theory-therapy-mixes/florian-t-m-zeisig

Low end frequencies out of Berlin.

We’re extremely happy to welcome producer and musician Florian T M Zeisig into the fold for Theory Therapy 44. 

From the club-adjacent frequencies on Coatcheck to the vibroacoustic therapy of Music for Parents (an album I listen to on a weekly basis), Florian creates conceptual ambient music like few other artists. He’s released music on the likes of Anòmia, Constellation Tatsu, Métron and enmossed, and has a new album out soon with Forest Management called Clips of Perspective which we're very excited to hear more of. 

His Theory Therapy mix is a heady collage of shifting tempos and styles with lots of low end goodness peppered throughout. “I wanted to kinda focus on just having fun in the moment, staying close to the journey.”

@floriantmzeisig

Theory Therapy 44: Florian T M Zeisig

"The sun begins to set. That autumn light sketches itself behind an idyllic landscape. Mountains rocks where there is snow in winter. A unique balcony. Surrounded by lush black pine and damp green grass, that unmistakable smell of nature. And in the background the beat, that beat that the context has transformed into something organic. And you, there in paradise on Earth."

Influenced by ambient electronics and chromaticism, Guillam (@guillam) pursues depth through the exploration of sound and composition. Soothing soundscapes, unfolding rhythms and organic textures are elements present in his music and dj sets. He is one of the curators on board along with Refracted (@refracted-music) in Paral·lel festival (@parallelfestival).  This is a live recording DJset during the Midline night curated by ABSIS (@absismusic) in Laut (@laut_barcelona) on February 9th.

HOCast #145 x Midline - Guillam @ Laut

A sunny July day. You're in an old pine forest by the river. You can hear the rustling of the branches, the crunch of pine cones under your feet, and the engine of a lone motorboat. Walking beside you is the person who unexpectedly agreed to spend three hours getting here on a stuffy commuter train. The subtle aroma of shashlik and a familiar song from the early 2000s drifts over from either the «professor’s» dachas or the abandoned recreation center nearby. Later on, there will be much more: a steep sandy cliff and a gravel-laden barge, chilled white wine and a small white plane in the sky, lots of awkward jokes and refreshing river water. Of course, you don’t know yet, but years later you will remember this day as one of the best in your life. And if it could be made into music, it would be a patrin’s mix for 5/8: radio

HARDCORE CHILLOUT 018 ARIO

Momentの出演者たちの現場でのサウンドを解放するシリーズArchives第12弾
は二日目の夕暮れから始まったAstral IndustriesのレーベルオーナーArioのセット。

ミニマルで催眠的なトラックを次々と重ね、そして日が沈み始めると、彼はDJブースの中で静かに築いていた高次元的な構造を展開し始めた。それは、深いサイケデリックなグルーヴとアシッドに浸ったトラックの記念碑で、まるで異次元からのメッセージのようだった。そんな彼のセットを是非お楽しみください！

For the 12th installment of Archives, we're delighted bring you Ario's absolutely transcendent set from the second night of Moment this year.
As the head of Astral Industries, Ario is perhaps best known for his impeccable curation of category-defying music that straddles cosmic ambient, deep techno, sounds from future civilizations, and songs pulled straight from the void. For this year's Moment, we asked Ario draw from the more dancey and deep regions of his musical interests - and the set he delivered took the audience on an unforgettable trip!
Starting from the late afternoon, Ario's mix gets right down to business, building up layer upon layer of minimal, hypnotic cuts that propelled us into the night. As the sun set and the lazer displays began to materialize in the forest, Ario started to unfold the upper-dimensional structure he had been patiently sculpting behind the decks: a monument of deep psychedelic grooves and acid-drenched bangers towering above the dancefloor like a message from beyond. Enjoy!

Moment Archives 012 | Ario

Astral Industries has been quietly shaping a corner of music that feels uniquely its own for over ten years. Based in London, the label has become a refuge for sounds that don't play by the rules—drone, ambient, dub, deep techno—all delivered with a sense of purpose and personality that's hard to find elsewhere. At the center of it all is Ario, the visionary behind the label’s distinct identity. To start 2025 in style, we're excited to share his mix as part of our "Delayed with…" series.

Ario's approach to music isn't about the obvious or the easy. His selections often veer into the experimental, finding connections in places others might overlook. Whether it's a drone, techno, or something that sits in the cracks between genres, he has a way of uncovering sounds that feel fresh and unpredictable. That instinct has made him a fixture at festivals like Paral.lel, Mostra, Moment, and La Nature just to name a few, where his sets are as much about exploration as they are about enjoyment.

This mix is a live recording of Ario’s set at La Nature Festival, nestled deep in a Belgian forest. Over two hours in the Hypnose Room, he built something that felt both strange and welcoming—layers of murk and mystery balanced by flashes of warmth and light. Tracks rise and fall like moments in a story, some tense and introspective, others breaking through with fractured grooves or shimmering synths that catch you off guard. What makes this mix so compelling is its sense of space—it feels expansive and intimate at the same time. There's a timeless quality to it as if it could belong as much to the future as the past. But it's never pretentious or overthought. Ario lets the music breathe, letting you take from it what you will.

Whether you're in the thick of the Hypnose Room or just sitting at home with a pair of good headphones, this set has a way of pulling you in if you let it. Hats off to Ario and La Nature Festival for creating something that feels real and alive, a reminder that originality still matters.

Delayed with... Ario (at La Nature Festival 2024)

For this special edition of the Bloom Loops podcast, we're honoured to welcome Ario — founder and curator of the acclaimed Astral Industries label. Widely respected for its impeccable curation and timeless releases, Astral Industries has carved out a unique space in the world of ambient and experimental electronic music, with each release offering a meticulously crafted sonic journey.

In this recording, Ario brings that same curatorial sensibility to the decks, guiding us on a deep and expansive journey. It begins with a psychedelic abduction to another world, and as the mix gradually unfolds you emerge into an expansive world of progressive and vintage tech house before dissolving into deep, swirling tribal techno. True to Ario's refined aesthetic, it is a set that balances both introspection and propulsion. 

Recorded in Hong Kong, at a secret location, this mix is a teaser for the upcoming Rebloom event on Saturday 17th May—where Ario will return to the Rebloom booth for our birthday celebrations, with a special closing set. 

Lock in, drift away and enjoy! Take me to your leader 🛸

Welcome to the 15th chapter of the Ambient Sessions presented by Deep Electronics. This months set is a LONG one!! Almost 3 hours of the finest ambient music mixed by Pjusk! Enjoy.

Bio:

Pjusk is Rune Sagevik and Jostein Dahl Gjelsvik from the west coast of Norway – both from small villages close to nature. The sound of Pjusk is inspired by the harsh Norwegian weather and wild landscape. At the center point of the collaboration between the two is an old cabin high up in the mountains. This is where most of the music of Pjusk is made – framed by snowy peaks and the sound of cold streams.

Ambient Sessions # 15 - Pjusk

Aleksander Ling aka Echo and Rauschen has been supporting us with his listening ears and his love since the beginning of the Nature Tales channel. We are happy to finally present one of his epic lengthy mixes here - the first of two that he has done for us - showing his everlasting passion for deep dreamy soundscapes and the sounds of nature.

"Looking back on the previous parts of the tropical mysteries, one quickly notices that the jungle journeys have become longer and longer. Ambient has always been a pleasant companion in my life. The yearning and the desire for deep relaxation has grown in recent years and especially in recent months and therefore probably the urge to immerse deeper and deeper into the rain forest with its secrets, and delay the return.

Tropical rainforest meditations & interpretations
Music for horizontal life situations

Dedicated to my wife"
