Fabuleux ce morceaux :)....mais qu'est !!!!!?

Nueen has been mad busy in the last two years. The Barcelona-based Mallorcan has put out three albums of beautifully quiet and unhurried ambient. Each one has unfolded with its own intimate sense of narrative and showcased deft craftsmanship with both synth and guitar. The tunes drawn on the atmosphere of Nueen's home island so fits in with what you might call Balearic, but very much on its own terms. They are warm and gentle but underpinned with a melancholy that makes them all the more engaging. 

There is plenty of that on show across the opening of this week's podcast. Roomy arrangements are detailed with only the wispiest of pads but slowly a rhythm begins to emerge. It's dubby and dreamy and transports you out to sea on a sonic life raft that eventually sinks to the ocean floor. From there you roll along on supple drums, wispy pads drift by and shards of light pierce the surface. It is a perfect soundtrack to slowly awaken your soul on a lazy morning.

@upsammy
Since the release of her debut EP ‘Another Place’ on Rotterdam's premiere Nous’klaer record label, upsammy has emerged as one of the most exciting contemporary electronic artists of our time. Known for her boundary-pushing vision of music and sound, upsammy’s string of releases on the likes of AD93, Die Orakel and Dekmantel have manifested into a back catalogue that give the sense and feeling of gallery of artworks. With a background in arts, it’s no surprise that upsammy works from a foundation of unbridled imagination. As is a common theme amongst many of my most admired artists, the power to present works that simultaneously champion both the weird and the functional is at the forefront of upsammy’s sound. It seems to me that the space between is where the magic happens - crystalline electronica, otherworldly ambience, hypnotic glitch and deconstructed club sounds morph to produce upsammy’s unique brand of contemporary, psychedelic idm. Her more recent and first long-player ‘Zoom’ showcases a somewhat softer side - warm crunchy textures, bouncing sub bass and at times-playful melodies are bound together with both quirky and functional rhythms. Zoom bestows upon us a beautiful and engaging collection of sounds which tell the story of both organic and digital realms. I once read a Bandcamp fan describe upsammy’s work as ‘fairytale idm’ and I couldn’t agree more. At the heart of every fairytale is a sense of magic, and everything upsammy does is just that. 

Alongside her productions, upsammy is an expert DJ who crafts brilliantly creative mixes and live sets with laser like precision - dynamic blends of experimental electronics weave between dreamy soundscapes, spacial percussion, psychedelic drum and bass and breaks - you can always expect the unexpected and this mix is no different! upsammy joined me live in the PBS studio on the 14th October 2022.

"The selection for this mix is not based on a certain style of electronic music. My approach was to arrange tracks that have a strong electronic feel & sound (to me at least) into a mixtape-like flow that goes through different intensities, moods and timbres. Most of these are recent releases dating from the past months, albeit with a few exceptions and some old favourites thrown in for good measure. Thanks to all the talented individuals who made this music." - Kassem Mosse

Autechre - Mix for Neuvoids

Purelink is the brainchild of Tommy (@raw_silk), Akeem (@millia-rage) and Ben (@kind_tree).  All talented producers in their own right, the three are based in Chicago and have been making tunes together that last year or so, featuring on recent comps from Naive, Lillerne Tapes and Chicago Research.

Throughout their Animix they showcase some of their own forthcoming productions amidst a magical downtempo exploration. I love the balance between foggy and  euphoric they've managed to create in this hour long trip.

Thanks Akeem, Tommy & Ben for this one <3
