“As a kid I could never fall asleep without my headphones,” reveals Adam Dove aka Nexcyia, speaking to Rob Turner. “I remember falling asleep listening to Jay-Z and Kid Cudi: it became ambient to me.” London based artist Dove aims to create sonic experiences akin to an augmented reality through sound collages, installations and manipulated video work. In his interview in The Wire 461, Dove discusses Afro-surrealism, the sonification of race, his own introduction to ambient music whilst being hospitalised, and more.

Here, Dove shares a brand new mix featuring tracks by several of his musical acquaintances, and others. “This mix was inspired by a quote from the book Invisible Man (1952) by Ralph Ellison,” says Nexcyia over email, “I now can see the darkness of lightness. And I love light. Perhaps you'll think it strange that an invisible man should need light, desire light, love light. But maybe it is exactly because I am invisible. Light confirms my reality, gives birth to my form.”

“I wanted to sonify the idea that the darkness of lightness can confirm presence,” he continues, “some of the tracks by Racine evoke these feelings, as well as, feelings of otherness and loneliness – I wanted to compile tracks that evoke meditative temple-like atmospheres.”

WIRE MIX: NEXCYIA JUNE 2022

Our good friend, Glasgow-based Nat Earthsine, comes through with a glistening composite of blissed-out samples, elegantly stitched into a mixtape-style arrangement.

Nat’s unique and playful technique shines through, drawing from a multitude of sources, he cuts, blends and distorts, fragments of songs, creating something entirely new.

The source material is expansively varied across genre, mood, place and time but a singular sonic palette emerges, an artistic approach to sound that’s totally seductive. A warm and intoxicating remedy to guide you through the January blues.

Guest mix for Jack Rollo ~ NTS Radio 170223

"Foggy downtempo atmospheric mix to feel and dissociate for a second in a warm fog. Big floor energy as I like to call these stoner moods."

Perila is a St. Petersburg-born, Berlin-based sound and visual artist, DJ and performer who works to explore the sensitive borderlines and depths of subtle matter. Her music explores thick narratives with shifting moods and textures, allowing the listener to drift through a rich psychedelic sound palette. Perila’s passion for radio led her to curate and design Berlin Community Radio, where she hosted monthly for four years, and to co-found Russian online station radio.syg.ma which specializes in experimental soundscapes. In addition to showcasing her unique ventures through ambient music, her show has also welcomed the likes of Andrew Pekler, Dynamo Dreesen, and Tomoko Sauvage. Perila also curates an online community WET (Weird Erotic Tension), which explores ideas of sonic sexuality in mixing spoken word, poetry, ASMR and field recordings. Since 2020 Perila has been involved with the musical projects Aseptic Stir, LOG, and Critical Amnesia.

~ a meadow of flowers ~

After a dark year+ of life's growing pains, with the decision to move home to Wales, ending a big relationship, reaching for the future self.
A meadow of flowers became my light, a vision of the future and a safe space to grow, to reclaim my senses.
During all the change, the vision of the meadow would keep me calm and somehow became my beacon.

Now I'm living amongst the meadows, nurturing the soul, resetting, mourning, celebrating, all that came before.

To be able to share this soundpiece on that day, my birthday, full moon rising of course, meant so so much.
To see all these conscious beings feel it, go into the soil, feel the growing journey, then dance like frolicking flowers, was so special, eternally grateful for that platform to express the truth <3

Thank you so much to the Les Siestes community, was such a special festival, to celebrate adventurous sound. 
A free public event, set in the Japanese zen garden in Toulouse.
The wether was so moody all weekend, but somehow the concerts stayed dry, then sun even came out for my set, a birthday gift to me :))
Will treasure that day forever xx
