Don’t even know where to begin... So many great memories of that little space as it was such an important place for Amsterdam's contemporary music. It has been the home of our residency for 6 years solid and we will never forget all the special moments guests of the show brought. Now that it’s announced publicly it’s time to salut the amazing people of RLR for what they achieved in almost ten years ❤️ Thanks for your trust and we really hope to see that RLR logo in a bright future! In this playlist are the TSS sets that were archived on Soundcloud.

Kato De Vidts & J. Noon LIVE at La Nature 2023 _ TSS Podcast 006

The Something Something… is releasing the new EP ‘Post-Ambient’ by producer and fragrance designer Brian Omen.

Artists as authentic as Brian are hard to find. His view on his crafts make him a unique personality, not to be passed by quietly. Already in high regards amongst his peers, Brian develops exclusive fragrances and brings them to life in many artistic environments, as he did for Paris Fashion Week, Dutch Design Week and for Draaimolen Festival. He started making music for these shows and for exhibitions by befriended artists, and so his music started to grow. The Something Something… is now very proud to present Brian’s new EP ‘Post-Ambient’.

In Brian’s words: “All tracks on the EP are kind of parallel with the progress towards the future, in line with Roko's Basilisk, but also how we define our future. The track 'Hidden' is about hiding from that definition, 'Afterlife+' is about our understanding of life questions and 'Where Our Paths Could Never Cross' is basically my statement towards pigeonholing my music with the ‘ambient' label, which is why I wanted to call the EP ‘Post-Ambient’.”

PREMIERE : Brian Omen - Where Our Paths Could Never Cross

Very proud to welcome Sophia Zhuravkova (@zhuravkovasophia) to our podcast series. The NTS radio resident, musician and member of the duo Ewer has one of the most elegant and delicate outputs of ambient crafted from field recordings, electronic and electroacoustic sounds, drones, and spoken word. Sophia adores nature and it clearly shines through in all of her work. With appearances on Best Effort Records, Ny Agenda, Infinite Audio Netwerk, Interior Music and Eco Futurism Corporation, Sophia has created an impressive discography of organic soundscapes, field recordings and melodic ambience. 

Sophia’s mix is enchanting and atmospheric, guiding us through shimmering Ambient pieces and her love for breathing Shoegaze and Dub. We’re enjoying this immensely. Thank you Sophia!

Sophia Zhuravkova _ TSS Podcast 007

It’s a true pleasure to welcome @sub-accent to our podcast series. The Accents Records label boss, and exquisite producer, has created a platform for experimentation and deep listening in the past couple of years, and we hope he won’t ever stop. Johan Bonnefoy, his real name, works mainly with hardware and a modular system, oscillating between ambient, industrial, techno and electronic experiments. With appearances on One Instrument, KVLTÖ Records, Cellar Door and many other impressive labels, he has created a remarkable discography throughout the years. 

Johan’s mix is one that keeps you on the edge of your seat, starting with drone-like soundscapes and guiding us through worlds of downtempo and experimentation. We had this mix on repeat the past couple of days, and we’re proud to release it. Thank you so much Johan!

Sub Accent _ TSS Podcast 008

It’s with the warmest pleasure to welcome long lasting friend @bas-dobbelaer to our podcast series. With playing the most beautiful sets at Mostra Festival, Above Below Festival and Freerotation this year. He also managed to record his latest ambient set at De Weide x The Voyage.

Enjoy the deep basses, crispy textured rhythms and enchanting melodies of a dear friend. Thanks for sharing this set Bas!

MNMT 264: Will Oirson

@arn_j

I feel far away from everything and everybody, ever
so far away, and I feel as if all the adventures which
succeed one another incessantly were unfolding
themselves like a play in a theatre⁠—and I, miles and
miles away, watching. For a long time tonight I have
stood absolutely still, lost in an odd introspection,
watching with an inward eye the progress of these
years in our life.
Anaïs Nin

A tender mosaic captured in soft focus, courtesy of The Something Something's Will Oirson. Recorded during the final act of ISOTOOP's "The Mind-Altering Experiment," an exploratory event which traced the course of an entire summer's evening, Will's morning call is a testament to shared experience, a confirmation of combined existence. Each selection is given room to breathe, space to occupy, and time to endure. It's impossible not to yearn for more. 

Thanks to @willoirson and @isotoop for letting us share this moment.
