Groove Podcast 384 - Kiernan Laveaux

Based in NYC, and with a background as a DJ, writer, and event organizer, Lychee's (@lycheefrut) underground energy is evident in every set they craft. With regular appearances at Basement, Nowadays, and Bossa Nova Civic Club, Lychee also runs Spontaneous Affinity, a monthly mix and interview series and occasional event platform, and the label Unimatrix Zero, as well as serving on the board for the Aslice Foundation.

Drawing inspiration from recent musical explorations at Nowadays in NYC in particular, Lychee's Patterns of Perception 116 showcases a return to their musical foundations in hypnotic, dubby, wormholey techno. Embracing a more focused, classic feel than many of their recent dancefloor explorations, this mix infuses a sense of narrative and evolution, effortlessly blending darkness and light, corporeality and sentimentality.

I am so grateful to share with you all today a very poignant and sacred entry in the Deep Mind Music series from Lou Drago. Lou has woven together a truly otherworldly psychedelic journey for the soul, a luminescent experience, a gently glowing hologram of emotion 💠

Lou Drago and I connected years ago when they asked me to make a mix for their TRANSIENCE series, which invites contributors to create a “temporary suspension of reality, where the listener can speculate on alternate futures free from all systems of oppression.” We found a synchronicity in the role ambient music has played in our lives, and how it opens portals to new imagined existences for us. Since then, I’ve had the joy of playing for Lou at infinity rug, the ambient-focussed event series they curate with Marum, where we have shared deep chats, silly giggles and shared philosophies (as well as ambient music ofc).

They have put a great deal of thought and care into this mix, which you can hear in the delicately programmed selections, the fluidity of the whole, and the full-being submersion into an emotional plane of existence. From the opening seconds of the mix, clarifying crystalline twinkles open the way, realigning our sense of being, and taking us into this subtle soundscape. This mix feels like a gently calming presence, like both a sigh, and a weight lifted from the shoulders.

As we sink into the mix, we evaporate into vaporous wisps of energy, as expansive washes of sound contrast with infinitesimal whirls and organic instrumentation. We are submerged into a panoramic dreamstate, morphing mystical landscapes expanding before us. Lou guides us through a misty forest teeming with life, droplets of water slipping off the end of intricate leaves around us.

In the final 30 minutes of the mix, I feel as if I am all the flickering stars in the night sky, as interplaying vibrational drones dissolve us into the depths. Lou then very gently lifts us from this state, the atoms of our being carefully reassembled, coming back to reality in a state of blissful harmony. I hope you find peace in this heart-opening trip 🤍🌌🤍

This release comes in the same week that I will be joining Lou as a guest of TRANSIENCE at WHOLE festival this weekend, where we will both be playing ambient sets in the early hours of Saturday. I am really looking forward to this occasion of continued sonic kinship between us, see you there if you are coming 💗

Truancy Volume 316: Azu Tiwaline

In a world where attention spans are constantly under siege by a myriad of distractions, the search for a reliable source of quality music can often feel like navigating a vast, unpredictable sea. In this era of inconsistency, there are shining beacons of reliability. One such beacon, which has consistently graced our monthly selections of favorite mixes, is the music platform Truants.
Truants has been a steadfast provider of top-tier music, a sanctuary where music enthusiasts can find solace in the promise of quality content. Among the architects of this musical haven is the talented and eclectic Riccardo Villella, a London-based designer and DJ renowned for his exceptional taste and mixing skills.
Today, we are thrilled to present to you this special mix, meticulously crafted by none other than Riccardo Villella himself. We vividly recall the moment we first encountered this mix – a serendipitous drive through the picturesque Spanish landscapes, rewinding our way from the Paral.lel festival to Barcelona. It was the perfect soundtrack to soothe our souls after an unforgettable weekend amidst the mountains. Mixes of this caliber have a unique power, a lasting resonance that ensures they become cherished companions, revisited time and time again.

Before we dive into this fabulous journey that Riccardo has curated for us, this is what Riccardo said in his own words about the process behind this remarkable mix: "It took me a little while to think of a direction to go in this. I've always loved the style and atmosphere to a lot of the mixes and tracks that get posted on Delayed but knew I didn't really want to record a techno or house mix. So I ended up putting lots of tracks on a half-time tip that evoked strong emotions of nostalgia and a hopeful sadness. I got to an hour of tracks and felt like I had perfect passage into more clubby double time stuff to round off the later stages of the mix. So there's a big switch half way through but hope it's seamless in essence. Some amazing tracks in there from some artists that are really doing it for me at the moment such as Morgan Wright, Cousin, Vardae, Downstairs J, Sobolik and Tom VR."

The recording of my show at @thelotradio on the 25th of September 🇺🇸 

It was a wet and rainy day in New York, reflected in this hazy trip through swampy techno, twisty bass and misty ambient 🤍

Kate Miller at Organik Festival 2023

Recorded live at the Grove, Saturday 8-10PM, Sustain-Release Year Nine (2023). Thank you to Aurora & the Sustain-Release team for the trust, to everyone who shared this memory I'll never forget.

Aaron J at Sustain-Release, Year Nine

"Woven with a characteristic sentimental string, you'll find yourself among the depths of 2000s drum and bass, the dreamy respite of downtempo and the intricate beauty of modern-day IDM.

This mix is dedicated to my longstanding love for ASC's 'Deep Space' mix series, a love that  now projects toward contemporary platforms like INVEINS ~ I'm so grateful to be here."
