Hirotaka Shirotsubaki

From a small town in Kobe.
He began his career in 2011. Taking inspiration from the natural surroundings in the suburbs where he grew up, his early music’s major themes were the city and nature. However, his later music tends towards the impersonal, allowing each listener to fit the sounds into the spaces of his or her life, attempting to link the ideas of memory and recollection into his music.

Deep Breakfast 112 - Jacob Newman

Known for taking his listeners deep into the tropical rainforest, Bålsam has conjured up a dream world surrounded by nature. Anthony's music is composed by field recordings he does during his walks though the mountains where he now lives with partner Nina Nativa and his daughter.

Avsluta - Ākāsagata
Ākāsagata [ST046 / Secuencias Temporales]

Produced by Lucie Štěpánková aka Avsluta
Mastered by Jorge Eafhm at Secuencias Temporales Studio
Artwork by Scencist
Released by Secuencias Temporales from México City, México
Release Date : May 23th. 2022

Lucie dedicates her creative practice to object-oriented improvisation, performance, interactive installation and theoretical and empirical research in the fields of Deep Ecology and New Materialism.

This ongoing inquiry is a fluid continuation of her studies of Sound Arts and Design at the University of the Arts London from where she graduated in 2018. She then returned as a visiting lecturer of Improvisation and Performative Practice in 2019, inhering the post from her former professor and well-respected writer and musician David Toop.

She regularly performs solo and group improvisations with her ever-growing ensemble of objects, materials and small electronics under her real name and with analog and digital electronics under her electronic music moniker Avsluta in venues across London and around Europe. In the past two years, these two projects have been going through an ongoing process of merging.

"I’ve never met Rod Modell (Deepchord) in person, but we have met through music. He found an obscure cassette of Chi music (from ’86), sent it to Astral Industries and paved the way for the release (30 years later) of ‘The Original Recordings’ in 2016. Since then, we’ve exchanged ideas and good music. I sent Rod a preview of ‘The Kallikatsou Recordings’ - he really liked it - and here came the idea for a remix of ‘Lanterns’. I started working on some random, lo-fi samples from Youtube, using Audacity, perhaps the simplest way of producing loops and samples. It’s the only computer based system that feels like the tape recorders I used to work with. I sent the first sketches to Rod on Facebook, but they ended up in the wrong inbox. I forgot about them, but months later he came back saying he loved them. I decided to go back to working on them, maintaining the lo-fi approach. I began manipulating the samples: time-stretching, tempo and pitch-shifting, mixing different layers and adding old-school monophonic “old speaker” effects, delays and loops. I used a few field recordings, voices and samples from my early ambient cassettes, and they matched. Ario from Astral Industries got involved and the experiment turned into a plan - a vinyl release - ‘Red Lantern at the Kallkatsou’”.

About the release:

We live in a complicated age. As the global population rises, the demand for work increases, while the possibilities dwindle. This is further exacerbated when governments turn inwards, destroying their own people. For these reasons among many others, it is now more critical than ever that we approach our fellow human beings with a sense of compassion, understanding, and helpfulness. 

Our mission at Unrush has always been to help unravel the stresses of daily life. Whether it be through our monthly podcasts or our event series in Berlin, we have continually aimed to alleviate the complications inherent in simply existing. With the launch of The Unrush Tapes, we have now decided to do something palpable in order to share the music we love while simultaneously relieving some of the real, serious problems that burden people's lives. Therefore, all profits from this tape will go to help4people in Berlin e.V., a non-profit charity dedicated to seeing the successful integration of the much overlooked African immigrants in Berlin. 

Musically we have turned to many past Unrush contributors for their generous offerings, including Wanderwelle, Shaded Explorer, Katya Yonder, Bleak, Sirko Mueller, 3KZ, John Heckle and many others. With a textural palate to match the diversity of mankind, there is a subtle narrative that forms throughout the compositions. Equipped with unlimited sonic possibilities, they bring us to a place of eternal peace that resides within us all. This is the place that we want to explore. Welcome to the world of Unrush.

If there was ever a timeless form of music, one could argue it is dub techno. From his drifting, weightless chords to the sheets of melancholic atmosphere he crafts, Fingers in the Noise has proven himself to be a true purveyor of this sound. As profound as any basic channel record, his albums create an expansive space within which the listener can truly exist. Since 2009 he has been churning out the highest quality dub techno and ambient music on his own Fitn Personal Records imprint as well as many others, so it was only natural that we ask him to cook up something special for UNRUSH. Listen and let yourself go while enjoying these last few summer days.

Unrush 033

033 - Unrushed by Fingers In The Noise

VBC [Vibrance] aka Victor J. is the soul behind the Vibrance collective, and resident artist for the Monument clubnights. Nurturing a special bond with Nature, he injects his vision for the in-forest festival La Vallée Électrique, curating the Forêt stage which highlights hypnotic electronic music and the beauty of south of France surroundings.

Currently based in Stockholm, he pays through this mix a tribute to his current home and playground, as well as an invite to discover the beauty of the northern sounds. This 68-minutes selection is strictly composed of Scandinavian music, and aims to picture the harmonious variety of landscapes between the Swedish capital and Copenhagen.

Victor offers us a mix in a very personal and contemplative dimension, a true manifesto of the best of the nordic ambient scene : hypnotic loops of grainy bass lines, heartbreaking melodies, throbbing rhythms, field recordings and cold noises for a homogeneous final rendering.  As indicated by the title and artwork related to the mix, it's a real journey through Scandinavia and its mysterious landscapes, made with love and passion.

Stellar Series Episode 29 - VBC [Vibrance] (Across Scandinavia)

U N R U S H is an experiment in sound, a crystalline vision of eternal pause. Through our record label, podcasts, interviews, 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.
