R-Imprint : Leisure System takeover with Barker, JakoJako & Golden Medusa - 13 Mars 2021

For the third episode of their show Unravel, James Lotion has invited the Berlin based queer music nerd Golden Medusa for a digital B2B. 

On the contrary to a classic B2B this one was recorded from their homes in Copenhagen and Berlin over a period of two weeks of sharing emails. One by one they recorded a part of the mix, each time responding to the previous recording. 

The result is a moody, chuggy adventure featuring downtempo moments, erratic breaks, emotional melodies and experimental sound design.

In solidarity with the Palestinian people they end the mix with Jessika Khazrik's track Kushajam's Recital استظهار كُشاجم - which revisits an Abbasid poem around a cosmic water clock, written by a 10th c. Palestinian poet.''

Unravel #3 w/ James Lotion & Golden Medusa (15/05/21)

Warm up mode, ambient into beats. Recorded live in February 2022.

This set was recorded in the National Park of Circeo on the 24.8.22 a few meters away from the Tyrrhenian Sea. There were 60 people audience lying on the sand, a few candles and a 4+1 Turbosound system.
I played my own productions including a few unreleased tunes.
Thanks to "Le Passeggiate Poetiche" and Exotique.it for making this possible.
Hope you enjoy the ride same as we did on that night.

"I often build mixes up from light, floaty frequencies, slowly layering in sounds, but for this mix, I wanted to be right in the intensity of the situation from the start.

This story follows an abandoned spaceship, adrift in the depths of the cosmos. Something strange and perplexing has happened here. Unnerving and claustrophobic from the get-go, this initial constriction of pressure is gradually unwound as the mix twists and turns through a variety of ominous soundscapes…"

Tayls + Golden Medusa [Foundation FM] - September 2022

Founder of https://soundcloud.com/sure_thing Sure Thing, Aaron J https://soundcloud.com/arn_j and  Midgar Label Boss https://soundcloud.com/severja recorded live at Midgar x Harmony Rec Openair in gART.n, Berlin on a beautiful Sunday afternoon of late July. Not much was decided in advance but the BPM. It followed an organic, coherent and surprisingly decent ;) back 2 back. Love you Aaaron! This brings back lovely Summer memories.

Aaron J & Severja at Midgar x Harmony, July '22

Remember Chinese Whispers, Stille Post or Rikkinäinen Puhelin? That children’s game, known all over the world, that illustrates the difficulties of transmitting information, but which also reveals the creativity of discontinuous conversation? It feels like the Patterns of Perception and @awalkingcontradiction collectives have been in such a conversation for the past years across a multitude of label nights, private hangouts, and shared festival experiences.

Based in Basel, Switzerland but unhinged from national contexts, A Walking Contradiction is a label for music and research. Curated by @varuna4053, @lemont-eana and Dead Electronic Space Limited (@ltd_dead), the collective share a penchant for beats - broken and straight - yet can't help but churn out music for the quiet hours. A deeply reflective group, you’ll find snippets of their conversations on social, political, economic, and environmental issues hidden in sounds or in plain sight on the sleeves of their records.

Compiled entirely from new and unreleased material, their Patterns of Perception 102 is but the latest product of interlocutions and whispers between Basel, Berlin, Helsinki and the world in general, paying tribute to the significance of community where the legitimacy of commons is increasingly impugned. 
Levitating within a field of sophisticated textures and percussion, this set burns slowly, but with a luminescent intensity. Angular experimental ambience builds into winding, complex rhythms. Inspired minds elevate delicate melancholia into a true sense of hope.

Patterns of Perception 102 - A Walking Contradiction

Deconstructed and disintegrated becomes energy and evolution. So the cycle continues, endlessly. Our next guest, Golden Medusa (aka Lara Golz), has managed to embody this process musically, a suitable tribute for our current moment. Known for her beguilingly ingenious sets as a resident of Leisure System and Refuge Worldwide, Lara's artistic trajectory has developed concurrently with the eclectic and unpredictable undertow of the Berlin music scene. Since the beginning of her career in 2016, she has made regular appearances at Berghain, OHM, and notorious events like Herrensauna and Atonal Festival. However, it wasn't until we invited her to play at the Ambientgarden events we did in collaboration with Staub at ://about blank in 2020 that we discovered the extent of her ambient ambitions. Here Lara shows us again that she can plunge into the depths, providing us with a two-hour mix of oceanic inoculation.

070 - Unrushed by Golden Medusa

With studied and meticulous elegance, Sa Pa summons a Dionysean tempest, a writ to harness the coming storm. It's humbling to share this and more so to listen, a fervent tour de force recorded live at Paral·lel Festival, a call to convergence under the boundless Catalonian sky.

Sure Thing Mix 116: Sa Pa

The recording of my set at Paral·lel Festival 2022 🌲⛰🧡 @parallelfestival

I was on 12.30-14.30 on Saturday afternoon. When I started playing, grey hazy clouds were still drifting across the panorama from Friday night’s storm, and by the end of my set, the sun was shining down on all of us.

This set meant a great deal to me, and being gifted the task of drifting from ambient expansion into trippy rhythms, coaxing everyone up off the floor and into movement, was such a dream.

Hope you enjoy this memory from an amazing weekend in those magical mountains 🧚✴️
