Living Room n°52 ~ @opheliaxz

q. pls introduce yourself
a. Hi I’m Kelsey and I’m currently residing in Philadelphia, USA.

q. is there a story behind the mix?
a. Story behind this mix was to try and meld more pop/trap north American contemporary ambient music I’ve been vibing with alongside a bit of a folk/dubient twist. I just wanted to try something new. My favorite style of ambient mixing is the textured notes melded with pretty variants. I don’t like things to stay the same for too long in mixes. It’s a journey and I want to take you with me through my mind.

q. what's the best way to enjoy your mix?
a. The best way to enjoy my mix is anywhere really. My hope is that it takes you somewhere new or allows you to zone out peacefully.

q. describe a favorite object in your living room...
a. I’m not home in my living room currently but when I am home my favorite item is my lava lamp my friend Rory gave me for my birthday 3 years ago. It’s very trippy.

q. are you working on any projects right now (music or not music)?
a. I’m working on a lot of music and have some promising things lined up. Id say watch out for them this fall and early-mid next year. ( :

Pain Management welcomes London cult favourite DJ ojo, who arrives on the label with a hazy three tracker of trademark nether zone system music. On his most dubbed out full length to date, ojo span’s the full emotive spectrum of dub sonics with a range of both the eerie and more tender expansions of low end atmospherics, the resulting 12” equally suited for the club and the journey home alike.

‘Tongue Tied’ opens the record, a lysergic offering from the darker edges of dub music. A slippery fugue-state hit of narco-ambience built around a crooning, intelligible vocal refrain and chest shot sub weight. A real nightfall system pusher built to simmer in the early hours. It kicks off the EP on an amorphous, hypnotic note that sustains throughout.‘Oil Dub’ sinks deeper into the fog, melodic kinesis and expansive delays upholding an underworld of feedbacked percussion and tongue in cheek sub motion; a seven minute sound bath of ambiguous dub ASMR.

The B-side balances out the darker strains found on its counterpart with an overtly tender digidub closer. Clocking in at almost ten minutes long ‘Cloud Suck’ is a nebulous bliss of perpetually ascending late-summer warmth. The kind of liminal dream-state embrace that you wish would never end. True to the name, it evokes tender, dusk and dawn hued moments, a quiet ride-home flash of introspection on the way to or from some pursuit of meaning. Pain Management essential right here.

Limited run of 200 hand-stamped 12” records available now.

This mix is made up entirely of intro and outro tracks, defined as such by their authors through the titles. It is built around the idea of an endless beginning and end, creating a continuous musical flow. 

A constant sense of anticipation that never fully resolves is followed by an extended wait for an ending. As a result, intros and outros, which usually frame an album’s main content, become complete pieces that shape the mix.

Post Ambient Lux by @igordyachenko

Tracklist:
01 – Melted Reality (4:17)
02 – Spectral Tracing (feat. Corell) (3:55)
03 – Emitting (4:34)
04 – Receiver (feat. mu tate) (2:40)
05 – Deviate (4:09)

10 – Sign (4:08)

A LP from experimental sound artist Igor Dyachenko. Featuring contributions from Corell, mu tate, and Nick Malkin the album is a masterclass in textural precision and sonic exploration. With artwork by Yaro Svyatykh and design by Amos Turner, Post Ambient Lux unfolds as one of the most appendix.files-coded releases to date—a record equally concerned with process, perception, and the emotional charge of deep listening.

The album finds focus in its opening track, Melted Reality—a trickling digital stream that gives way to a tidal swell of noise. It's followed by Spectral Tracing, featuring Corell, where this momentum disintegrates and reforms—sonic matter in flux, with molecular fragments melting, colliding, and dissolving again. On Emitting, shimmering vistas seem to generate in real time, like catching up to the edge of the universe and witnessing the raw formation of particles, dust, and energy—enormous and infinitesimal at once. Tangible references dissolve in an instant a million years long. This is an album for the deep thinker and deep listener—as much philosophical as it is sonic. If science fiction were rewritten with the restraint of contemporary minimalism, and stitched into a Craig Green silhouette, this is what it would sound like. On Deviate, the machinery of this imagined space clicks into motion—a dimensional garment assembled in precise layers, operating in intricate order to maintain equilibrium in a liminal zone.

Flipping the disc, we first hear Sensors—where rhythmic consistency hints at orientation, and a sense of direction begins to emerge. Though distractions abound, the path remains porous. Enter Soft Liminal—a moment of surrender where you begin to trust the chaos, and even find nourishment in it. That state of perpetual near-emergence begins to feel less like tension, more like clarity. Involved, featuring Nick Malkin, introduces a familiar tone breaking through the fog—an anchor within the blur—offering reality not as imposition, but as option. Then comes Submerge, inviting a full descent into liquid data, vast fields of signal moving through the nervous system. The closing piece, Sign, gathers these moments with a sense of quiet coherence. This is the wisdom of ambience—a kind of Tao for experimental sound—philosophy rendered as aesthetic, as method, as both catalyst and control.
