Mixmaster Morris @  Alexandra Palace 31/12/1995

Every now and then we come across a gem hidden in the depths of Soundcloud, unheard and undiscovered, waiting for their music to grace the world's ears. Making soft, soothing, piano laden goodness, we got in touch with Latvian beat maker <a href="https://www.facebook.com/broove"> Broove </a> to kindly ask him to create this week's Slumber Session and boy has he delivered. It's mid-week wind down time. Drift into Broove's dreamscape.

"I had a dream. It was a regular day – with a big, sleepy yawn I stood up from the bed, washed my face, ate a peanut butter sandwich, put up my clothes, and started to pack my bag for the university. When I was ready, I came to the door to open it, but couldn’t do it. Something wasn’t right. I tried to open it again, and only then I saw how my hand went through the door handle. Immediately after realizing that, I found myself lying in the same bed, thinking „What the hell just happened? Was it a dream? It was so real!” I’ve never been so confused in my life. If things in dreams can be as real as in everyday life, then what does ‘real’ even mean?"

It has several DJ bars right on the sand, a perfect place for a chillout session ....

‘Apologues’ will be released by Erased Tapes on September 11, 2015 on LP/CD/DL and can be pre-ordered from www.erasedtapes.com/store/index/ERATP075

Masayoshi Fujita, the Berlin-based Japanese vibraphone player, also known under his alias el fog came to the attention of label founder Robert Raths a few years ago. Not only because the vibraphone is an intriguing instrument, but also the way Masayoshi treats his instrument and draws ethereal and layered sounds, is what truly attracted him to Masayoshi’s work.

Having released more ambient-based/electronic recordings of the vibraphone under el fog, Masa became more interested in the sound of the vibraphone itself. He started to compose acoustic pieces and released the first solo album under his real name, titled ‘Stories’, in early 2013. ‘Apologues’ sees Masayoshi for the first time use an array of instruments besides his lead instrument – such as the violin, cello, flute, clarinet, French horn, accordion, piano and snare drum played by friends, but arranged by Masa himself.

In addition to the mallets, Masayoshi often plays the vibraphone with a violin or cello bow, like on ‘Tears of Unicorn’ and ‘Knight and Spirit of Lake’. He would also place bead strings on the vibraphone bars to create an ambient shimmer that can be heard on songs like ‘Moonlight’ and ‘Swallow Flies High in the May Sky’. The latter was composed to let the clarinet express its characteristics and tell its story, whilst the vibraphone takes a supporting role. “The clarinet sounds very warm and soft and very ‘spring’ to me”, says Masa.

“With this album the main idea was to evoke images, atmospheres, sceneries and stories in the listener, the images that have accumulated in myself. At the same time it was an exploration of the unexplored beauty of the vibraphone, and also a pursuit of the charm of the instrumentation and the music itself. Erased Tapes releases a lot of great stuff and naturally became my favourite label of late. And I thought it would fit well to my music.” – Masayoshi Fujita

Masayoshi Fujita – Tears of Unicorn

A massive party in a squatted multistorey car park in Camden, with a huge dub/reggae soundsystem at the other end... this is from a cassette i just found and has never been heard by anyone since 1992.

The mixing is not so great .... but it does have some amazing tracks and I'm sure people will want to hear it.

"British ambient band Marconi Union has drummed up the world's most relaxing song: Weightless is 8 mins 10 sec. of aural bliss" - Time Magazine, Best Inventions of the Year. 

"An excellent compilation from the always interesting Just Music" - The Sunday Times

"The Ambient Zone is an album that feels like the world is peeling away, layer by layer, into multi-colored panoramas, just for you" - Echoes (CD of The Month)

The Ambient Zone is a beautiful journey into ambient and electronica inspired by universal themes of calmness, purity, relaxation and enrichment where Weightless is coupled with some exclusive first releases and other blissfully ambient tracks from Just Music artists and alumni.

Created instinctively and intuitively by Marconi Union, Weightless has been claimed to have therapeutic properties in the way the track almost appears to have a heartbeat running through it which slows down very gently throughout the piece, encouraging a deep sense of relaxation in the body, It's use of specific rhythms, beep bass tones, frequencies and intervals induce an almost trance like state in the listener.

"The Ambient Zone is an album that just screams (albeit quietly) of pure class" - Fluid Nation.
