“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.”

ISLA37 - El Latido Del Infinito - Primordial Ohm
https://isla.bandcamp.com/album/el-llamado-del-infinito

That which beats and resonates within you. From the Pleroma to the material world, you can experience a vibration similar to that of a heartbeat. A steady rhythm that resonates in the honey of our memory. And who can taste it?

This record draws inspiration from ancient cultures that sought to liberate the spirit from its material concerns; Gnostic-Tolteca ideas reflected in the vibrations, lyrics, numerology, and hermetic content of this EP. The aim is for these frequencies, transformed into cosmic music—illbient, jungle, amapiano, Mxfunky, dancehall, and bass—to resonate with that infinite heartbeat.

Truth, naked and bold, often blurred by the falsehoods of reality. We awaken in our dreaming, inventing, and imagining, only to forget soon afterward. Blissfully.

As above, so below; as outside, so within—we come here not for much else but to remember, then to forget.

‘El Latino del Infinito’ is a  six song long player from Mexico’s Eduardo Legazpi aka Primordial Ohm. Ft. Old Astronauts on tracks 1 & 2. Out July 25th.

Composed and mixed by Eduardo Legazpi 
Mastered by Phil Barrera
Digital cover art by Ingrid Culebro based on an original painting by Lucia Leytte.

WHY BE 230924

Molly Walking

Based in Bristol, Ekto a.k.a. @erst-dj is a producer & DJ that takes the sounds of 90s rave and hardcore and twists them into new shapes - his productions can take influence from anything from the dubbed out grooves of bleep techno to full throttle jungle breakbeat chaos. In collaboration with @hartta, “The Happy Hardcore Hit of the Summer” takes the euphoric fairground stabs and diva vocals of happy hardcore, and sends them in a darker direction.

Out now on streaming platforms + available for download as part of “The Grooveyard: Volume 2” on cassette tape and digital format ⛓️
