Panoramic & Contemplative journey 🖤💙🖤

For our last mix of the year, we warmly welcome a very talented synthesist, DJ, and co-founder of Frequency Domain, Ali Wade.

Some words by Ali:

"The Observatory has had a really great first year, hosting many go-to mixes for me, so I feel humbled to round off the series in 2023. Thanks to Jay for the invite and to all the previous contributors for setting the bar so high.

As the world grows exponentially more complex and unjust, music is ever the stabilising force. In November this year I was invited by the Bleep43 crew to DJ alongside some incredible artists at an event in east London - this mix pulls together a lot of the music I played that day, including many tracks from the label I co-run, Frequency Domain. Recorded one afternoon while in bed with a cold, I hope it puts you in a good place."

Ending the year with an awesome mix by @FlxK1, a Berlin-based DJ, producer, and label honcho. His perspective has been a big inspiration in the music scene since the late '90s, from killer work on various labels to unforgettable performances.

This mix is a shout-out to 25 years of Hidden Hawaii and 10 years of Nullpunkt Recordings. Some of it you could hear at our London party in August 2023. Big thanks to Felix for this mix, and here's to many more awesome releases in the future.
A massive thanks for being with us for more than 6 years! Your support means the world to us, and we genuinely appreciate each and every one of you. Cheers!

Huinali Greatest Selected Works (Mixed by Javier Marimon)

Happy new year and welcome to 2024! Bright Patterns welcomes Garçon from Switzerland for this new chapter of the show. He’s a resident at Elysia in Basel and co-runs Amenthia Recordings with Agonis. More often than not, we have the pleasure of hearing his deep cerebral explorations of rhythm, building sets and mixes with thoughtful intention for the dance floor. While I and many others enjoy these recordings again and again, he presents a softer side here that’s equally as brilliant. “I wanted to play music i'd like to listen to in the morning or stay in bed to” he added. It’s a perfect way to start off a new year. As always, thanks for tuning in.

Kai's journey gradually unfolds from glitchy ambient to shamanic downtempo  rhythms, englobed by colorful atmospheres and filled with emotion.

Giorgi Pipia with Human Space Machine - 20 Février 2024

For this month’s chapter of our Podcast Series, we are incredibly proud to welcome Fhionbarra. Barry is a London-based DJ who has been turning heads with his commendably curated and finely executed sets across the city’s experimental ambient & dance music undergrowth and beyond ✨

A real tour-de-force of concept-driven DJing, this is a live recording of Fhionbarra’s mesmerising set from a recent Hardcore Chillout event where the loose concept of the evening was based on ‘Apparent Motion’ – that is, the perceptual illusion in cinema where still frames of film, viewed in quick succession, give the appearance of motion 🎞️

The mix is an interpretation of this concept with the first section taking a scene-setting, atmospheric tone alongside some narrative elements. This is followed by a middle section where time appears stretched or distorted – a reference to the space in between frames where our senses play tricks on us. The final section (or ‘third act’) returns to more overtly narrative territory, finishing with a cinematic flourish 📽️

Profondeurs - Caldera & natural limit (Mars 2024)

It is undeniable that we are living in uncertain times. For those of us failing to fit the patriarchal neoliberalist mould, we have lost hope in the future. We can see capitalism is not working but we cannot yet envisage an alternative. In a world where security is no longer feasible, the only constant we can rely on is change. Regardless of one’s point of reference, we can understand that every aspect of life, physical and mental is in flux and perhaps this transience is the only thing we can depend on.

This month we have invited super inter to ruminate on these ideas and create an hour of relief from these anxieties. A temporary suspension of reality, where the listener can speculate on alternate modes of existence that reject hetero-patriarchal systems of oppression.

All tracks produced by super inter, many of which were specifically made for this show

transience #34 with super inter

This is the archive of our regular show on Cashmere Radio, Berlin. 

It is undeniable that we are living in uncertain times. For those of us failing - or refusing - to fit the patriarchal, racist, neoliberal mould we have lost hope in the future. We can see capitalism is not working but we cannot yet envisage an alternative. We discover that the stability we were instructed to obtain whether it be financial, political or ecological, is fleeting, if at all. The resulting anxiety is an instrument of neoliberalism that prevents many of us from being able to raise consciousness of the structural injustices that alienate us.

In a world where security is no longer feasible, the only constant we can rely on is change. Barad teaches us that the world is a dynamic process of intra-activity and materialisation, an ongoing ebb and flow of agency. The Buddhist Law of Impermanence proves that nothing in this world is eternal. Regardless of ones point of reference we can understand that every aspect of life, physical and mental is in flux and perhaps this transience is the only thing we can depend on.

Each month host @lou_drago invites an artist to ruminate on these ideas and create an hour of relief from these anxieties. A temporary suspension of reality, where the listener can speculate on alternate futures free from all systems of oppression.
