2024/05/13: "At its most hypnotic, ambient rap has a medicinal quality similar to ASMR, which tickles your scalp with soft taps and sweet mouth sounds. It’s a balm for the brain, forcing you to adapt to the spare rhythms and appreciate the gleaming beauty in its gentleness. There’s something childlike about this music, both in the way that beats can feel like wonky LEGO contraptions and in their restorative, lullaby-like quality. Many of the scene’s song titles (which guide the listening experience here more than most genres) reflect this innocent wonder and pastoral peacefulness". [The Frenetic Frailty of Ambient Rap by Kieran Press-Reynolds from Nina Protocol]

CTM 2024 – Sustain
RSO.Berlin

Like a blossoming mind-fungus, the microtextual world of upsammy hums with the uncanny seepage of the organic. Effortlessly blending translucent tones and funky rhythms, the Amsterdam artist creates a natural groove that flows through different speeds of spatial vibes and dreamy soundscapes. Collaborating with visual artist Jonathan Castro in many of her live shows, they craft psyched-out landscapes, playing with contradictions of comfort and solitude. These are beautiful companion pieces to her ephemerally-hitting DJ sets, drawing from trippy experimental DnB and offbeat techno.

Modern hypnotics from a new techno star.

It's a tale as old as time: techno DJ moves to Berlin to chase a dream. Philippa Pacho is part of the latest wave of talent to tread that familiar path. But don't let that fool you. She's one of the classiest artists around—no TikTok gimmicks here.

Pacho's formative years were spent in her native Stockholm, navigating a vibrant DIY party scene that included warehouse raves and illegal parties. She eventually took up a long-standing residency at beloved local club Under Bron and the experience, as she details in this week's Q&A, sharpened her technical skills, teaching her to handle every type of set—whether opening with patience, supporting a headliner or closing with finesse. She also played with countless touring DJs, from Answer Code Request to Antony Parasole, which ultimately inspired her move to Berlin.

That relocation has firmly paid off. It's a testament to Pacho's talent that you'll find her playing pretty much every big club and festival across Europe, from Berghain and Dekmantel to FOLD and Monument (we were exhausted just looking at her upcoming listings on RA). Other recent highlights include closing out Bassiani's tenth birthday, and back-to-backs with Fadi Mohem and Sandrien. 

Pacho's RA Podcast showcases her preference for classy, hypnotic techno, striking a balance between muscle and subtle groove. Her aptitude for what makes dance floors tick is also evident on her two labels—Phorum Records and positivesource (co-run with Blue Hour)—both of which mirror her DJ style, blending intensity with delicate textures. positivesource has released several standout records, including this year's "Psycho" by BLANKA and Phil Berg's "Psyckik" (which you'll hear on this mix). 

Spanning 70 minutes, RA.980 is a window into Pacho's thoroughly modern sound (the oldest track is from 2018). And yet it retains a refined, sweeping quality. Give it a spin and you'll soon twig why she's in demand on dance floors worldwide.

Techno Ruined My Life: The Hostile Ambient Takeover Mix (Excerpt)

A mix from time ago. From the tunes I'm guessing '07. Breakstep, garage, oldskool hardcore x-over stuff back when there was piss-all of it. Big shout of thanks to everyone who's got involved and made life easier since!

Rrritalin-2-step yardcore (mix from '07)

☆.。.:*・° Ritualistic Resonations 。.:*・°☆ 

Generative live (mostly)modular synth explorations. Imperfect and impermanent.
