Our next guest deals in fantastical chimeras, weaving tales around silent winds and languages long forgotten. Wanderwelle are a duo from Amsterdam who have been making waves with exquisitely executed releases on the dub-drenched Silent Season imprint. Their music is imbued with an enchanted sense of narrative, traveling to the farthest outposts imaginable with no intention to return. Through a slew of tastefully selected mixes they have also exhibited a sublime ear for DJing, such that we found it no less than necessary to ask them for a contribution to UNRUSH. So take a large dose of vast, empty space, and meditate on this mix from the one and only Wanderwelle.

Thanks a lot https://soundcloud.com/wanderwelle

U N R U S H is an experiment in sound, a crystalline vision of eternal pause. Through our record label, podcasts, and event series we focus on presenting a diverse array of alluring ambient music. With each guest contribution we search for a serene space within the mind that is free from the encumbering stresses of daily life. Our events will act as a platform for distinguished artists and take place in stunning cultural surroundings both in the city and in nature, taking a step away from the pounding hedonism of the club to showcase the other side of electronic music.

Hello out there!
I am a record collector for some years now. I started as a teenager in the 90s and came back to it some years ago.
Mostly I enjoy electronic music, the main focus on electro, but I like other genres too, like idm or darkwave. 
So I thought it’s a bit sad to just do this for my own pleasure. I enjoy so many sets here from different people out there and so why not contribute to that community? This is really the good side of the internet. So much great art is there to experience for free, whenever we want to!
Therefore I started to mix. So obviously I‘m not a dj and don‘t have the time to perform live sets on a higher level in the near future. So I could give up, but I followed the punk attitude that it‘s much better to do something, no matter how imperfect it might be, than to wait for perfection, or don‘t express myself at all!
So I use audacity now to be able to make a mix I think it could be worth listening to. 
So this mixes will be collector mixes. I think this is in some way different to dj sets from a club dj. I think the main difference is the setlist. I don‘t focus on recently released music. For now I focus more on a certain genre and try to make a listening adventure through decades of records I like. The sets don‘t have to function in a club setting, so they can be more obscure, weird and don‘t have to be  necessarily danceable.
So I hope some people out there can connect to these sets I put out! Maybe there are tracks you were not familiar with before and you can dig deeper into some rabbit hole!
Maybe you like the energy, vibe or whatever. I put some work into choosing the tracks and find links and dialogues between them, trying to make this sets somehow relevant. 
In case you have some advice or constructive critique, please let me know and help me develop! I would appreciate that!
Otherwise enjoy!

This channel was part of a project of mine where I, someone with no experience with making music, never played an instrument, and only casually enjoy music, sat down to see if I could document my journey from knowing nothing about music/audio software or how to make music, to being able to make simple beats or loops. The twist: each song must be done in one sitting, and not worked on over time. Doesn’t matter if the song is incomplete, or how bad the song sucks - the goal was to sit down, make “music”, and then upload. Song titles were chosen ahead of time to be used as the theme/tone of the “music” I was sitting down to make, or by just taking the first words that popped up into mind upon uploading the “song”,  regardless of how dumb they are. 

I had fun. It’s interesting to go back and listen chronologically. I can’t say any of them turned out objectively “good” (a few got stuck on my head though lol) or anything people would enjoy, but I can hear pretty clear improvement between the very first “song”, and the most recent “song”. 

The results of the project were noticeable. The entire process was super fun, and I found an interest and appreciation for music that wasn’t there in that way before. It also made me want to actually continue making “music”, but learn it as I would any other craft and taking it much more seriously. I learned a lot about audio/music software, too; before, I was overwhelmed by the interface and the uses of the many functions in the program, but toward the end of all of this, i was able to use all sorts of things I had no idea how to just a year earlier. 

Anyway, in case any of you dopes wanted to know what the motivation was behind any of this “music”, there it is. I did a yearlong experiment to see how fast I could go from a musically-reta*ded person to a musically-challenged person that can make a loop. 

Last thing: the next thing you should Google is 
 Urban Moving Systems.
