deconstructed

As 2023 approaches, we are asking artists to reflect on the year just gone through a series of mixes built from new music they’ve discovered or enjoyed in 2022. 

For Thessa Torsing, the only way is up – upsammy, that is, her most recognised alias and one under which she shares playful productions that touch on IDM and ambient, and takes to the controls for rousing DJ sets. Torsing traversed the globe this year, hop-skipping between Barcelona and Budapest, or Australia and London, with plenty more shows closer to home, in her native Amsterdam, as she continued to raise her glowing profile.

Her set for our end-of-year series starts on an amorphous and vaguely aqueous note, as squelchy synths and moon-lit atmospherics evoke a sense of submersion into a vast body of water. “This mix is a combination of murky low-end, tickling melodies and free-spirited micropercussions by some of my favourite producers of this year,” Torsing says on the recording, which features tracks by DBR, Andriy Kostyukov, CS + Kreme and more.

"Andriy Kostyukov, aka Andriy K., is a Kyiv-born, Berlin-based experimental sound producer and DJ.
His work explores sound design experiments within both listening and club music, drawing heavily from ambient, IDM, and Bass mental techno. By exploring the therapeutic effects of textures and the depths of human reflection, Andriy’s music offers a journey through emotions and mental artifacts. His live performances often feature dubbed guitars and vocals, creating a deep emotional impact.

Today, he takes us on a swampy journey from the club into the forest, exploring ambient, IDM, and bass-driven sounds."

DjSport turns up the intensity with the 72nd Embodiment podcast. A polyrhythmic, dystopian paradise for those who find comfort in experiencing the unexpected.

Born and raised on the island of Mauritius and now based in Barcelona, DjSport is known for her captivating approach to sound. She carefully plays with tension, release, and the uncanny.

Speaking on the mix, she reflects: “The weird tendency to listen to the sound of crickets filling my brain with distorted melodies.” A glimpse into the world she invites us to step into.

Embodiment 072 - DjSport

For the newest instalment, i'm really happy to welcome the incredible Brussels-based AliA (@aliamusicc). The local mainstay is a regular on Kiosk radio and runs her own label - @artisjokrecords. Alyah, better known as AliA,  has an exciting & unique approach to dj'ing. She is known for her blend of contemporary club music with jazz, classical and experimental sounds. 

I find AliA's musical outputs incredibly refreshing - the kind of artist who reminds you what a really good DJ can do - they can present genres & sounds to you that you'd otherwise maybe not typically explore, in a new and exciting way. For her Animix, Alyah has gone for an intensely chill blend of ambient & immersive music, with minimal, glitchy, dub techno, jazz, classical sounds and more.

Thank you so much for the mix Alyah <3

I first connected with Chanel online a couple of years ago, and have been continually inspired by her thoughtful and connected contributions to the global music ecosystem.

I’m so excited to share this captivating mix for the PSFM series and to welcome her to our London lineup on August 31 at Vittoria Wharf for perspectives• x pure space → https://ra.co/events/2187860
