Next up!
Canada's @napmusick treats us to just over an hour of scuzzy dembow beats, techno-dancehall crossovers & sludgy electronica. 
An absolute treat this, we're honoured to have NAP join the podcast series.
We also caught up with the donny himself for a lil chat, read below >


AM: We loved your mix a lot, where and how did you record it? Was there a theme behind it?

Glad you liked it! I recorded the mix in my studio with a moody xone mixer and x2 xdjs on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. I’d say the theme is release. After the drag of a 9-5 week that sacred studio time on the weekends can be so special, especially with the current Montreal curfew. Channeling that ‘living for the weekend’ vibe here with some low-slung bass music I've been digging lately.


AM: We’re big fans of your label ISLA, how did it come about?

Thank you for listening! Isla was born out of a desire to document the music happening around me. I bought a used tape duplicator from a church in Abbotsford and started making very small tape runs of friends’. It’s grown a bit since but it's still just me putting whatever I’m excited about.


AM: We think Ambien Baby is fantastic, love Sophie too from when we had her down to play in Brighton, how did you guys come about forming the duo?

Oh thank you! That’s my best friend and soul sister. We’ve known each other since we were teens. AB is a reaction to our friendship and a vessel for us to explore sound & collaborate. 


AM: Out of music what are your interests? 

I'd say the interests are vast and ever-mutating!  In general, they lay in music rituals [music making/consuming], music’s therapeutic qualities, and its tireless research/ quest for its historicity.  


AM: Whats next for you this year? 

Finishing loose ends for some recording projects that have been in the works for some time, putting out some records im very excited about and learning how to tap/ dance flamenco.

AM Podcast #36 - NAP

"I felt compelled to make this mix during my mandatory hotel isolation period, depicting certain moods I was flowing in between; reflective, sensual, longing, hope... suspended in time. The tracks are very special to me and remind me mostly of missing loved ones. I really wanted to focus on speech and lyric - especially female vocals. The mix is actually a vessel for femine energy and some of what that represents to me. Snippets from the “100% Genuine” CD released on Rephlex records have been woven throughout the mix, a collection of real phone recordings from a dating agency."

@roza-terenzi aka. Katie Campbell, has escaped Berlin lockdown and is currently on the first leg of her NZ tour, starting with Beacon Festival in Auckland. 

She delivers us a pretty special mix for our 24th instalment in the series - a little more down-tempo and reminiscent of her iso-diaries while in NZ quarantine.

Hue & Saturation Mix 024: Roza Terenzi

Can't believe the Animix series is already at number forty! and what a way to celebrate with this iconic mix from Philadelphia based @opheliaxz. The talented DJ & producer weaves an emotional, perfectly erratic and rhythmically exciting journey, filled with everything from ambient and downtempo to wiggly dnb & jungle tunes. 

A scroll through Kelsey's Soundcloud reveals her knack for heavenly sounds, with a bunch of beautiful original tracks - including a track on this recent @lillerne tapes compilation - https://lillernetapes.bandcamp.com/album/lillerne-122-fundraiser-compilation

On this mix, Kelsey wrote "i wanted to showcase bass textured music in a different context, kind of a slow roller type of way with a few sneaky bits in between tracks.i have been fortunate to start traveling and playing out again and nobody here in the states dives into bass, dnb, dubstep stuff  often so i felt it really important to show off the textured bits and how it can be fun and versatile."

Love it so much, and hope you do too!

Thanks again Kelsey

The recording of my set at Paral·lel Festival 2022 🌲⛰🧡 @parallelfestival

I was on 12.30-14.30 on Saturday afternoon. When I started playing, grey hazy clouds were still drifting across the panorama from Friday night’s storm, and by the end of my set, the sun was shining down on all of us.

This set meant a great deal to me, and being gifted the task of drifting from ambient expansion into trippy rhythms, coaxing everyone up off the floor and into movement, was such a dream.

Hope you enjoy this memory from an amazing weekend in those magical mountains 🧚✴️

The first Patterns of Perception mix of 2023 comes from a luminous presence and dear friend of our collective - label head, mix series curator, promoter and esteemed selector Aaron J (@arn_j).

Over the years, a combination of passion, openness and tireless energy has seen Aaron become a trusted voice for experimental, boundary-pushing electronic music across both the US and the wider scene. 

Founded over eight years ago, Aaron’s much-loved platform @sure_thing is the embodiment of his forward-thinking curation and clarity of vision. Now based in Brooklyn, Sure Thing started as a series of parties in San Francisco before growing outward, later blossoming into a renowned mix series and record label. 

As a DJ, Aaron’s level of empathy and attention-to-detail are unmistakeable, allowing him to deeply connect with the dance floor no matter the context - layering, building and driving emotions ever onwards.

Aaron J's Patterns of Perception 106 is both radiant and personal - an idyllic snapshot of the perfect dance floor, glowing with wide-eyed energy. Pensive darkness simmers into hedonistic psychedelia. Intensity turns reflective. Endless rhythms vibrate and flare into nurturing light.

JUNGLE GYM RECORDS presents "Prehistoria," a split cassette by Dravier & V. Kristoff. Following the collaborative "Shelter From Environment," the pair return to reflect on the most primitive memories of mankind. Kristoff takes SIDE 1, inspired by the physical artifacts that would eventually draw separation between humanity and all other animals. SIDE 2 from Dravier, then, expands on the concept with "Visions," a long-form piece exploring ancient psychological and spiritual devices of the Neanderthals, struggling to find their place in the universe as we still do today. Kristoff and Dravier develop these ideas and more with appropriately prehistoric recording techniques, utilizing a single mono synth with arpeggiator through guitar pedals, straight to tape... simple tools with far-reaching results, exclusively from JUNGLE GYM.

POÁN - Abisso

It is the natural path that can never be ignored.

Born in 1986’ life is permeated by music in every facet, connecting with sound in a way that traverses stylistic genre. His relationship with music is based on deep emotional connection, using it as a conduit to explore himself instinctively and intimately. 

For him music is a portal, an outlet to the isolation one sometimes experiences in a world of dissonances. Emotional soundscapes are painted through his performances, where music becomes a channel to the universe. Strokes of nature are juxtaposed with rough, industrial counterpoint, where he reveals brief moments of happiness amidst the melancholy. 

This transmission is a personal outlet, dreaming with music to create new realities of perception and identity.

Peaks line up from nothing; 
and their stones sink in blue sea. 
They sink to become nothing 
And be reborn above the clouds.
