Don’t mind me just popping back to this for the 13th time !!

Animix Forty One presented by Austin, Texas based DJ/ Producer Gi Gi ( @keptmale ) with a beautiful trip. The artist focuses on deep and contemplative listening in this xtra long mix.  

In their own words, Gi Gi writes, "the idea for these mixes is to be a collection of longer-form tracks (7+ min) that demand (imo) to be heard front to back, producing a patient wander of a listen, and to serve as a greatest hits of sorts of songs that are especially personal/special to me-- as opposed to just an attempt to show off the deepest digs i've stumbled on (a thought pattern i think i and many other selectors can get caught up in at times..)."

Love the idea behind this mix, and it's the perfect extended listen for a sunny or rainy day wherever you are. 

Gigi released an LP on Quiet Tapes earlier this year, and has a few more LPs in the works, due out later this year --https://quiettimetapes.bandcamp.com/album/lumino-pleco

Thanks again for this one, Gi Gi!

Motion Cast Vol. 79: Gi Gi

Soothers #03 is brought to you by Texas-based producer Gi Gi, taking us on a jazz-based journey of skittering rides and cascading woodwinds.

"This one was an exercise in tying together two disparate but interconnected styles: 21st century electronic jazz & a loosely idm-y strain of 90’s downtempo electronic music. The first third or so focuses on the former, the middle bit on the later, & the last section a sort of imprecise blend of the two. I find there’s a parallel in the complexity of the jazz instrumentalists’ performances & the electronic producers’ programming, a virtuosic streak that's balanced with restraint in service of texture & mood. I like how in many of these tracks it’s hard to parse what is organic vs synthetic— a live saxophone recording may be chopped & looped so that it sounds like a sample; likewise, a sample may be smoothed and blended so that you're fooled into thinking it’s a live take. Both of these styles share the sort of tranquil quality you’d associate with “ambient music”, but are (to my ears) a little more engaging or stimulating than your typical static, droning example of the genre due to a heavier emphasis on movement, both rhythmic & melodic. Think of it as a different panel of the ambient umbrella— Active Ambient?”

1st ep of our new show on Skylab Radio 
♡ Meg & Nenagh

Vortex on Skylab E1

Boorloo/Perth's @mikemidnight has kindly compiled some tracks that have been inspiring his recent productions - all bursting with bliss and imagination. This is some of his fav downtempo from over the years, in particular those which embody a sense of safeness in darkness.

On the releases front, Mike has a track coming out with https://soundcloud.com/theory-therapy later this year and may also be self-releasing an EP :)

Here, he's aimed to gather classic downtempo songs from the period which embody a genuine sense of humanity and honesty. More than merely nostalgic, this mix recalls connection, community and all that is beautiful and shared <333

☼ Pairs perfectly with late autumn sun ☼

@hystericalloveproject

Discovering last year’s Hysterical Love Project’s self-released debut album “Endless Bliss Weekender” was a personal highlight. Resulting in a release on Knekelhuis as Ike Zwanikken at the ‘and felt like...’ compilation. Hysterical Love Project is the project from the love couple Brooklyn & Ike. In which they craftfully compose a refreshing modern take on the slow sensual realm of Triphop, Ambient and hazy shoegaze. 

They will release their first physical album soon on the amazing label Motion Ward. And there is an unreleased upcoming track in here. Bliss.

Bristol based Noods resident, Junior, trudges us through an hour and a half of what he describes as the fruits of "a years worth of procrastination" that he would have named "Delay and Deliberation" had it not clashed with the title formatting tradition we've established. Dive in.
