CHILDREN OF LIGHT: Aleksi Perälä for Waking Life Radio 120324

The third offering in our mix series is a live recording of Priori and Cousin's dj set at Sustain Release 2024. Recorded on the last morning between 6am and 1pm on what was meant to be an ambient stage, it featured everything a 3 day festival closing set should. Eclectic picks, strange and emotional sounds, dubious transitions and a few feigned endings. Massive thanks to all the dancers, the Sustain staff (Aurora, Ash and everybody else who put their blood, sweat and tears into this), the music makers, the birds, the stars. 

Much love,

P & C

Good friend and constant source of inspiration Alex Albrecht, joined me to celebrate my 300th episode of Passing Notes.

Few artists channel a consistent stream of creativity like Alex Albrecht. With over a decade of music-making under his belt, Alex has cultivated a distinct and frankly iconic musical identity. Effortlessly shapeshifting between experimental jazz, ambient, atmospheric house, and deep techno, Alex’s compositions are marked by an environmental undertone that imbues them with a uniquely “Alex Albrecht” earthly sense of place. Simultaneously anchoring and weightless, the common thread between it all is Alex’s ability to leave listeners safely ensconced in a swell of emotional resonance.

Improvisation and exploration are at the heart of Albrecht’s craft. His constantly evolving and captivating live performances have taken him to far corners of the globe, with appearances at iconic venues like Bassiani in Georgia, Monument in Norway, and Vent in Tokyo just to name a few. Each journey fuels his exploratory nature, offering new opportunities to immerse himself in the world around him. Field recordings serve as an auditory journal—postcards sent home to evoke memories of space and place that form the ever-important foundation of his creative process. These recordings provide a naturalistic canvas upon which Alex layers syncopated rhythmic subtleties and soaring, colorful synthetic brushstrokes.

With a rich discography amassing on celebrated labels such as A Strangely Isolated Place, Constellation Tatsu, Apollo, Scissor & Thread, and his own Analogue Attic Recordings—also celebrating its 10th anniversary this year—Albrecht’s work reflects a steadfast commitment to artistic authenticity and a depth of accrued knowledge now expressed through a craft so refined that oft feels effortless.

It was an honour to have Alex performing LIVE in the studio to celebrate this milestone together and share in his music that will continue to inspire us all.

Freshly uploaded from an early Jan '25 gathering of music souls pushing the limits....

Saeko & André really nailed this one. In anticipation of Thomash and a debut airing of his homage to the Tokyo Metro system YAMANOTE...

Enjoy!

A recording of Shhhhh playing on the final morning of The Labyrinth 2024, October 14th.

The Labyrinth 2024 - Shhhhh

The sun is out, the birds are singing, just chilling in the garden, seemed like a good afternoon to record a few recent 7"s. The first 4 tracks are taken from the Moon Garden 7" series (Mystica Tribe & Hidden Sequence). The last 2 tracks are Mystica Tribe from Silent Season.

Thx to my source @dubwisevinyl for supplying the freshest beats.

R.I.O. Label Take Over with Benedikt Frey and Menqui [29.04.25]

"A sonic fabric of light and calm, where each moment echoes like a deep breath, opening invisible spaces for quiet contemplation and gentle healing. Minimalism and precision come together to shape crisp, delicate atmospheres that invite you to linger without hurry."

Jo Johnson is a British musician whose three-decade journey spans punk, techno, and contemplative electronic minimalism. A former guitarist for the influential 90s riot grrrl band Huggy Bear, she later immersed herself in the underground techno scene,  joining the Bleep43 collective in 2001 and founding its label. Jo’s solo work explores immersive and emotive sonic landscapes through synthesizers and effects, influenced by pioneering women in electronic music. Her albums have been released on Further Records, Going In, Mysteries of the Deep, and Castles in Space. She is a regular performer at festivals and venues like Freerotation, The Purcell Room, Cafe Oto, and Parallel.

In 2025, Jo launched Alterations, an evolving album project released track-by-track on Bandcamp, each piece accompanied by exclusive materials for subscribers. She has collaborated with pianist Hilary Robinson, releasing experimental works on 9128.live and performing at events like Daylight Music. As a DJ, Jo has appeared on platforms such as Refuge Worldwide, Monument Waves, and Music for Programming. Beyond music, she has contributed to a Huggy Bear book project compiling the band’s zines and history. Jo also co-curates Bleep43’s deep listening events in unique spaces across London, championing boundary-pushing artists in ambient and experimental sound.

HOCast #243 - Jo Johnson

On 21st June, along with our good friends at UK-based NOODS Radio, we will be celebrating the renowed Parisian music scene for this year’s Fête de la Musique.

Also on the all-day music schedule is @naonever the latest to join The EDWIN Music Channel roster with mix №138 - a diverse, partly trip-hopping set crafted in celebration of the NOODS event and suited to all of life’s moods.

It’s a mix with class, coming from a DJ, that isn’t just another Parisian DJ. Nao Never is a curator, sonic explorer, and boundary-blurring radio host. Whether spinning live or weaving stories through her radio shows, she champions intensity, eclecticism, and emotional resonance in electronic music. Affiliated with forward-thinking label collectives like Antinote and Teenage Menopause, she crafts deeply varied sets that blend cool indie emotions, melancholic dub spheres, American psychedelia, downtempo, and electro.
