This mix flows effortlessly through ambient, dub techno, IDM, and deep techno, creating an immersive journey that moves from atmospheric and introspective to hypnotic and rhythmic. It starts with Pablo Bolivar, setting a warm and deep tone, before Loscil adds lush ambient textures. Rod Modell & Taka Noda introduce deep, dubby rhythms, leading smoothly into 4T Thieves, whose intricate electronica adds a nostalgic, melodic touch. The Orb keeps things dreamy and expansive before The Black Dog shifts the energy with layered, cerebral techno. From here, the mix moves into more abstract and atmospheric territory—Markus Guentner brings wide, evolving ambient washes, Alva Noto strips things back to precise, minimal sound design, and Tristan Arp introduces more organic, experimental rhythms. Heathered Pearls and VC-118A add deep, rolling electro grooves, paving the way for Slam and Shed, who take things into gentle ambient techno. Krill.Minima's Gamelan stands out with its shimmering, intricate percussion, offering a hypnotic, otherworldly moment before Legiac brings things full circle with textured, layered IDM. Finally, the mix closes with 4T Thieves – Ravens Cottage, a deep, reflective ending that ties everything together with a hazy, atmospheric glow. This set is a seamless blend of ambient, electro, and techno, perfect for deep listening, late-night sessions, or just letting the sound take you somewhere else.
Mit Episode 432 von "XtraChill", die ab heute, dem 15. Februar, auf dem Server liegt, ist das "alte" Jahr 2024 (fast) abgefrühstückt, denn es steht (fast) nur Musik von 2025 auf der Playliste - mit fünf Neuvorstellungen und dem ersten "XL-Rausschmeißer" des Jahres: ein Stück, das der liebe Andreas schon seit Dezember vor sich herschiebt, weil es konzeptionell bislang in keine Folge gepasst hat. Ansonsten ist der Großteil der Musik wieder auf zwei Dreier-Sets verteilt, mal mit Thema und mal als bunte Mischung. Abwechslung ist auf jeden Fall garantiert! With episode 432 of "XtraChill", which is available on the server from today, February 15th, the "old" year 2024 is (almost) over, because there is (almost) only music from 2025 on the playlist - with five new artists and the first "XL bouncer" of the year: a piece that dear Andreas has been putting off since December because it hasn't fit into any episode conceptually so far. Otherwise, most of the music is again divided into two sets of three, sometimes with a theme and sometimes as a colorful mix. Variety is guaranteed in any case!
Beim Produzieren dieser Episode von "XtraChill" musste sich der liebe Andreas kräftig sputen, denn wegen eines Spontanurlaubs nach Zeeland an der niederländischen Küste hätte er doch fast die Deadline, den heutigen 01. Februar 2025 gerissen! Doch es hat dann doch noch geklappt, denn sonst würder ihr jetzt nicht diese Zeilen lesen - und die tolle Playliste anhören können. Heute steht, neben anderen interessanten Musiktiteln, das dritte neue Netlabel aus der Neujahrsfolge, im Zentrum des Interesses. Das (Sub)Label "DeepStiched Records" aus Südafrika stellt sich und seine Künstler mit einem intensiven "Flotten Dreier" vor - und präsentiert damit einen Querschnitt durch den Deep- bzw. Minimal-House-Katalog des Labels. Viel Vergnügen beim Anhören! When producing this episode of "XtraChill", dear Andreas had to hurry up because he almost missed the deadline, today's February 1st, 2025, due to a spontaneous vacation to Zeeland on the Dutch coast! But it worked out after all, otherwise you wouldn't be reading these lines now - and listening to the great playlist. Today, alongside other interesting music titles, the third new net label from the New Year's episode is the focus of attention. The (sub)label "DeepStiched Records" from South Africa introduces itself and its artists with an intensive "threesome" - and thus presents a cross-section of the label's deep and minimal house catalog. Enjoy listening!
Der triste Januar steht ganz im Zeichen von Neujahrsritualen! Nach dem alljährlichen Neujahrskonzert folgt am 15. des Monats immer die Folge, in der die Restbestände des alten Jahres abgearbeitet werden. 2025 ist das ein bisschen anders, denn der liebe Andreas nutzt diese 430. Episode von "XtraChill" dazu, zwei neue Netlabels, die in der vergangenen Folge bereits vorgestellt wurden, heute genauer unter die Lupe zu nehmen: "Sound Avenue" und das "Velvet Dub Collective" öffnen ihren Katalog und präsentieren sich mit je einem "Flotten Dreier". Da kommt man sofort in Stimmung - auch, weil Euer Gastgeber auf den "Dry January" verzichtet und sich während der Aufnahme ein paar (nicht trockene) Martinis genehmigt. Prosit Neujahr! The dreary January is all about New Year's rituals! After the annual New Year's concert, the episode in which the remaining stocks of the old year are processed always follows on the 15th of the month. In 2025, things are a little different, because dear Andreas is using this 430th episode of "XtraChill" to take a closer look at two new net labels that were already introduced in the last episode: "Sound Avenue" and the "Velvet Dub Collective" are opening their catalog and presenting themselves with a "threesome" each. That gets you in the mood straight away - also because your host is foregoing the "Dry January" and enjoying a few (not dry) martinis during the recording. Cheers!
Frohes Neues Jahr - Happy New Year! "The same procedure as ever year" - um einen beliebten Silvester-Klassiker zu zitieren! Auch das Jahr 2025 startet am heutigen Neujahrstag mit dem "XtraChill"-Neujahrskonzert! Die Tradition gibt es schon viele Jahre und jedes Jahr wird der Mix ein wenig länger. Wieder stehen 24 Tracks auf der Playliste mit einer Auswahl der besten Neuzugänge des abgelaufenen Kalenderjahres. Neue Projekte und Künstler, die uns durch die letzten zwölf Monate begleitet haben und auch in Zukunft eine Rolle in diesem Podcast spielen werden. Neben den Urhebern stehen natürlich auch die vielen Netlabels im Fokus, ohne deren unermüdlichen Einsatz Podcasts wie "XtraChill" nicht möglich wären. Als Novum stehen heute drei neue Labels am Start und sogar eine erste Neuvorstellung - wie das sein kann, hört ihr am besten selbst! Ich wünsche allen Hörerinnen und Hörern einen tollen Start ins Neue Jahr und bedanke mich für Eure Treue, ihr Lieben! "The same procedure as ever year" - to quote a popular New Year's Eve classic! The year 2025 also starts today on New Year's Day with the "XtraChill" New Year's concert! The tradition has been around for many years and every year the mix gets a little longer. There are again 24 tracks on the playlist with a selection of the best new artists of the past calendar year. New projects and artists who have accompanied us through the last twelve months and will also play a role in this podcast in the future. In addition to the authors, the focus is of course also on the many net labels, without whose tireless efforts podcasts like "XtraChill" would not be possible. As a novelty, three new labels are starting today and even a first new presentation - the best way to hear how that can be is to hear for yourself! I wish all listeners a great start to the New Year and thank you for your loyalty, dear ones!

Die dritte Kerze brennt auf dem Adventskranz - heute, am 15. Dezember 2024. Kurz vor den Feiertagen meldet sich der liebe Andreas noch ein letztes Mal zurück mit einer feinen Musikauswahl. Wieder stehen drei "Songpärchen" im Mittelpunkt - mit themenbezogenen Ausrichtungen und drei letzten Neuvorstellungen für das ausklingende Kalenderjahr! Genießt diese 428. Episode von "XtraChill" als kleine Ruheinsel vor dem Finale des Jahres 2024 und habt eine schöne Zeit mit Euren Liebsten. The third candle is burning on the Advent wreath - today, on December 15th, 2024. Shortly before the holidays, dear Andreas is back one last time with a fine selection of music. Once again, the focus is on three "song pairs" - with theme-related orientations and three final new artists for the calendar year that is coming to an end! Enjoy this 428th episode of "XtraChill" as a little break before the finale of 2024 and have a great time with your loved ones.

Crate digging on Bandcamp, and dropped down a rabbit hole called @berg_audio - a number of their tracks feature, alongside a few select classics and new releases Report (Original Mix) - iO (Mulen) Stay (Kolter Remix) - Lola Palmer Underground Diva (Wollion Remix) - Nerdjack Last Man Dancing (Original Mix) - 95 DVDS Wonderwood (Original Mix) - Dip Sugar Snot (Original Mix) - Loidis Do (Original Mix) - RAMA7 Pinger (Original Mix) - Youandewan Here and There (Original Mix) - Nick Beringer M04a (Full 12_ Length) - Maurizio Menuman (Original Mix) - Selidos Creamy Ice (Original Mix) - Floog
Statt blöder vorweihnachtlicher "Klingglöckchen-Musik" erwartet Euch Hörer heute, am 01. Dezember 2024, ein anderes musikalisches Spektrum, denn der liebe Andreas zieht zum 01. Advent ganz andere musikalische Saiten auf. Mit seiner Auswahl podsafer Electronica - verpackt unter anderem in drei Songpärchen - liefert er den Beweis, dass die Vorweihnachtszeit nicht immer in Stress ausarten muss - wenn man den richtigen Soundtrack auflegt! Und den bekommt ihr frei Haus in Form dieser 427. Episode von "XtraChill". Blendende Unterhaltung bei gutgefüllten Plätzchentellern ist garantiert! Instead of stupid pre-Christmas "jinging bells music", you listeners can expect a different musical spectrum today, on December 1st, 2024, because dear Andreas is playing completely different musical styles for the first Advent. With his selection of podcast electronica - packaged in three song pairs, he provides proof that the pre-Christmas period doesn't always have to degenerate into stress - if you put on the right soundtrack! And you get it free of charge in the form of this 427th episode of "XtraChill". Brilliant entertainment with well-filled plates of cookies is guaranteed!
TRACKLIST : Gelato 08 - Meanwhile Stiven Escarraga - I hate here (Pedro Campodonico remix) Lale & Cvtkvc - Vazda Baigø - Mind dub Figueras - Focus Annavoig - Sweet & menace Eiza - Non stop Fire Man - Any info Matthias Springer - Flowstone caves AN:TI - Lapka Type B. - Bedouin Chris Blum - Claudi
Pech gehabt: der geplanter Herbsturlaub entpuppte sich am Ende leider als "Genesungwoche", denn kurz vor der Abreise fing sich der liebe Andreas eine der derzeit umtriebigen Erkältungen ein, die sich als sehr anhänglich herausstellte - wie man heute, am 15. November 2024 noch deutlich hören kann. Trotzdem geht Episode 426 von "XtraChill" pünktlich auf Sendung mit zwei ganz besonderen "Flotten Dreiern", die Euch nicht nur eine Lehrstunde in Musikstilentwicklung bieten, sondern auch Brücken schlagen zwischen zwei unterschiedlichen Genres. Das Ganze hübsch eingebettet zwischen einem Ambient- und einem Space-Chillout-Stück, das Erinnerungen an die gute, alte "Space Night" aufkommen läßt. Es gibt viel zu entdecken! Viel Spaß! Bad luck: the planned autumn vacation unfortunately turned out to be a "recovery week" in the end, because shortly before departure, dear Andreas caught one of the currently busy colds, which turned out to be very clingy - as you can still clearly hear today, on November 15th, 2024. Nevertheless, episode 426 of "XtraChill" goes on air on time with two very special "threesomes" that not only offer you a lesson in musical style development, but also build bridges between two different genres. The whole thing is nicely embedded between an ambient and a space chillout track that brings back memories of the good old TV show "Space Night". There is a lot to discover! Have fun!
TRACKLIST : Sin Sensor - Three stripes Inzajeano - Free (Amaral Borges remix) Andrew McLoud - Cold Kastor - Staring at my phone John Plaza - Puelche (Ness remix) Crado - Tension Santiago Krenz - Actividad sensorial Advnstr - Hours in Tek.Ka - The shot Darien J - What we do Black Criss - Exótico Jim Rivers - Digitalis
Der partielle Feiertag in Deutschland, heute, am 01. November 2024, läßt den lieben Andreas mal wieder für eine Woche an der Mosel verweilen, bei seinem alljährlichen Herbsturlaub - und deshalb wurde diese 425. Episode von "XtraChill" einige Tage im Voraus produziert. Besonders viele Künstler tummeln sich auf der aktuellen Playliste und die meisten davon sind Neuvorstellungen! Und auch musikalisch ist die heutige Auswahl podsafer Electronica extrem prall, denn von Ambient-Chillout über Minimal House bis Dub ist alles vertreten, was Eurer Hörerherz begehrt. Viel Vergnügen! The partial holiday in Germany, today, on November 1st, 2024, makes dear Andreas once again spending a week on the Moselle on his annual autumn holiday - and that's why this 425th episode of "XtraChill" was produced a few days in advance. There are a particularly large number of artists on the current playlist and most of them are new members of the "XtraChill" family! And musically, today's selection of podsafe electronica is extremely rich, because everything your listener's heart desires is represented, from ambient chillout to minimal house to dub. Enjoy!
PacificGroove sweet and juicy sounds, so cool and yummylicious....
Der erste Herbststurm zieht über die Voreifel und passend dazu hat der liebe Andreas eine weitere, feine Playliste mit entspannter und spannender Electronica zusammengezaubert, die ab und zu auch ein bisschen ins Tanzbein geht. Damit der heutige 15. Oktober 2024 kein Schmuddelwettertag wird, der ohne den passenden Sofa-und-Heißgetränk-Soundtrack auskommen muss. Episode 424 von "XtraChill" wartet wieder mit zwei zentralen "Songpärchen Plus" auf, mit denen sich auch drei neue Künstler bzw. Projekte vorstellen werden. Viel Spaß! The first autumn storm is moving over the Voreifel and to match this, dear Andreas has conjured up another fine playlist with relaxed and exciting electronica, which every now and then also gets you dancing a bit. So that today, on October 15th, 2024, is not a bad weather day that has to get by without the right sofa and hot drink soundtrack. Episode 424 of "XtraChill" again has two central "Song Pair Plus", with which three new artists and projects will also be introduced. Have fun!
Und auf einmal ist Herbst! Heute, am 01. Oktober 2024, kehrt der liebe Andreas zur üblichen Acht-Track-Playliste zurück und schnürt sechs Songs davon zu zwei "Flotten Dreiern" zusammen - mit unterschiedlichen musikalischen Gewichtungen, was für ein abwechslungsreiches Hörerlebnis sorgen wird! Außerdem hat das Netlabel "Insectorama" und zwei seiner Künstler - beides Neuvorstellungen - die Ehre, diese 423. Episode von "XtraChill" zu eröffnen und zu beschließen. Viel Vergnügen! And suddenly it's autumn! Today, on October 1st, 2024, dear Andreas returns to the usual eight-track playlist and puts six songs together into two "threesomes" - with different musical emphasis, which will ensure a varied listening experience! In addition, the net label "Insectorama" and two of its artists - both new on this podcast - have the honor of opening and closing this 423rd episode of "XtraChill". Enjoy!
Mit Episode 422 von "XtraChill" endet die Sommerpause 2024 - und der Sommer ganz generell! Da in der vergangenen vier Wochen so viel tolle Musik veröffentlicht wurde, hat der liebe Andreas die aktuelle Playliste auf zehn Tracks aufgestockt, mit zwei Vierer-Sets im Fokus und einem Rahmen aus zwei Drum & Bass-Tracks vom Label "C-Recordings" - trotz erheblichen Zeitdrucks kann sich das Ergebnis hören lassen - oder? With episode 422 of "XtraChill", the summer break 2024 ends - and summer in general! Since so much great music has been released in the past four weeks, dear Andreas has increased the current playlist to ten tracks, with two sets of four in focus and a frame of two drum & bass tracks from the label "C-Recordings"- despite considerable time pressure, the result is impressive - isn't it?
Heute, am 15. August 2024, steht, wie bereits mehrfach angekündigt, eine ganz besondere Ausgabe von "XtraChill" auf dem Programm. Wie jedes Jahr legt der liebe Andreas eine vierwöchige Sommerpause ein. Und um diese lange Zeit zu versüßen, ist diese 421. Episode eine weitere in der seltenen und unregelmäßigen Reihe der "Künstler-Monografien" - Folgen, in denen nur ein einzelner Gast aus eigenen Werken einen exklusiven Musik-Mix für "XtraChill" zusammengestellt hat. Dieses Mal konnte der Dub-Techno-Tüftler Francesco Tamburrano, der in Episode 414 sein Debüt in diesem Podcast gab, für diese ehrenvolle Aufgabe gewonnen werden. Damit nicht genug: gleichzeitig werden zwei neue Netlabels vorgestellt, die bislang unter Andreas' Radar geflogen sind, "Ecoul SND" aus Lettland und "Techenie" aus Sibirien! Genießt Francescos einstündiges Set - und den Spätsommer! Buon divertimento! Today, on August 15th, 2024, as already announced several times, a very special edition of "XtraChill" is on the program. Like every year, dear Andreas is taking a four-week summer break. And to sweeten this long time, this 421st episode is another in the rare and irregular series of "artist monographs" - episodes in which only a single guest has put together an exclusive music mix for "XtraChill" from his own works. This time, the dub techno tinkerer Francesco Tamburrano, who made his debut in this podcast in episode 414, was able to be won over for this honorable task. But that's not all: at the same time, two new net labels will be presented that have so far flown under Andreas' radar, "Ecoul SND" from Latvia and "Techenie" from Siberia! Enjoy Francesco's one-hour set - and the late summer! Buon divertimento!
Live recording from The Great Beyond 2024 - Friday Afternoon - Main Stage
Vor seinem eigentlichen Spätsommerurlaub konnte sich der liebe Andreas kurz vor dem Erscheinen dieser Episode noch ein paar Tage Extra-Entspannung abknapsen - für einen Kurz-Trip ins schöne Elsass! Sonne, Wein und Leckereien standen im Mittelpunkt des kleinen Urlaubs - glücklicherweise stand die Musikauswahl für diese 420. Ausgabe von "XtraChill" schon vorher fest, so dass die Produktion rechtzeitig fertig gestellt werden konnte. Zwei "Songpärchen Plus" erwarten Euch heute und zusätzlich stellt sich das Label "Sedubtive" mit einem "XL-Rausschmeißer" vor - und gleichzeitig das neue Musikgenre "Slow Dub Techno". Viel Vergnügen! Before his actual late summer vacation, dear Andreas was able to squeeze in a few extra days of relaxation just before this episode was published - for a short trip to the beautiful Alsace! Sun, wine and food were the focus of the little vacation - luckily the music selection for this 420th edition of "XtraChill" had already been decided beforehand, so that production could be completed on time. Two "Song Couples Plus" await you today and in addition the label "Sedubtive" is introducing itself with an "XL-bouncer" - and at the same time the new music genre "Slow Dub Techno". Enjoy!
The Deep Breakfast mix series has slowly (quite quickly compared to my isolatedmix efforts!) become one of the greatest ambient-leaning mix series around, pulling in some of the finest curators and artists to grace our small world. From well-known artists and DJs to passionate music collectors, it seems Francesco, the curator, is intent on hosting a series truly meant for every corner of the ambient spectrum. The name of the mix series gives you an idea of what to expect, and for my submission, I battled hard with what style to attempt in order to live up to the many great mixes that have been featured before. Breakfast to me - deep or not - can often be light and uplifting - chill or even dubtechno on some mornings. But similarly, a deep breakfast may also mean the edges of light at 4 or 5am… and this is more the route I went with this mix. Look out for some of the many upcoming ASIP tracks featured in this one!Big thanks to Francesco for the invite, and I hope you all enjoy the mix.

Kommt dieser On-Off-Sommer noch mal in die Pötte?! Verständlich, wenn sich jetzt viele Leute - auch wegen der beginnenden Sommerferien - auf den Weg zu stabileren Wetterlagen machen. Der liebe Andreas verharrt allerdings noch eine Weile in der Voreifel, denn als klassischer "Spätsommerurlauber" beginnen seine Ferien erst Ende August. Da ist noch Zeit genug für ein paar neue "XtraChill"-Episoden, wie diese aktuelle 419. Ausgabe, die ab heute, dem 15. Juli 2024, auf dem Server liegt. Viele spannenden Electronica-Tracks erwarten Euch - von klassischen "XtraChill"-Urgesteinen und einigen Neuvorstellungen. Und: das Netlabel "Piranha Siberia Dub" stellt sich (endlich!) mit einem Dreierset vor! Ein weiteres Beispiel aus der Rubrik: „Labels, die der liebe Andreas viel zu lange (unfreiwillig!) übersehen hat“. Viel Spaß beim Anhören und Entdecken! Will this on-off summer get going again?! It's understandable that many people are now heading for more stable weather conditions - also because the summer holidays are starting. Dear Andreas, however, is staying in the Voreifel for a while longer, because as a classic "late summer vacationer" his vacation doesn't start until the end of August. There's still enough time for a few new "XtraChill" episodes, like this current 419th edition, which will be on the server from today, July 15th, 2024. Many exciting electronica tracks await you - from classic "XtraChill" veterans and some new artists. And: the net label "Piranha Siberia Dub" is (finally!) introducing itself with a set of three! Another example from the category: "Labels that dear Andreas has overlooked for far too long (involuntarily!)". Have fun listening and discovering!
Huup-Huup - Trööt-Trööt! Alle "XtraChill"-Fans, die so gar nichts mit der Fußball-EM anfangen können (oder mal eine Pause davon brauchen) haben sich richtig entschieden, diese 418. Episode meines kleinen Podcast heute, am 01. Juli 2024, runterzuladen, denn die Musikauswahl liefert eine wohltönende Auszeit bei den ganzen Public-Viewing-Fangesängen und hupenden Autocorsos! Und wieder stehen zwei Dreiersets im Mittelpunkt, die als "Songpärchen Plus" angelegt sind und Euch kontrastreich unterhalten werden. Ein breites Genre-Repertoire sorgt zusätzlich für Abwechslung. So klingt der Sommer - ganz entspannt! Honk-honk - toot-toot! All "XtraChill" fans who have absolutely no interest in the European Football Championship (or need a break from it) have made the right decision to download this 418th episode of my little podcast, because the music selection provides a pleasant break from all the public viewing chants and honking car parades! And once again the focus is on two sets of three, which are designed as a "song pair plus" and will entertain you with contrasting sounds. A wide repertoire of genres also ensures variety. This is what summer sounds like - completely relaxed!

Jahreshalbzeit! Da der Frühling, zumindest hier in der Voreifel, ein ziemlicher Reinfall gewesen ist, freuen (und hoffen) wir kurz vor dem kalendarischen Sommeranfang auf eine deutlich besser dritte Jahreszeit! Und sollte dem nicht so sein, tröstet Euch eine regelmäßige Dosis podsafer Electronica in Form dieser 417. "XtraChill"-Episode vielleicht über die ein oder andere Regenwolke hinweg. Zu entdecken gibt es heute, am 15. Juni 2024, jede Menge spannende Musik; vor allem die beiden "Flotten Dreier" haben es in sich: Dub Techno überschreitet Grenzen und ein Minimal-House-Original-Remix-Battle bekommt ein Zwischenspiel. Mehr Details erfahrt ihr beim Anhören - viel Spaß! Halfway through the year! Since spring, at least here at the Voreifel, has been a bit of a disappointment, we are looking forward to (and hoping for) a much better third season just before the start of the calendar summer! And if that is not the case, a regular dose of podsafe electronica in the form of this 417th "XtraChill" episode might console you over some odd rain clouds. There is a lot of exciting music to discover today, on June 15th, 2024; the two "threesomes" in particular are something special: Dub techno crosses boundaries and a minimal-house-original-remix-battle gets an interlude. You can find out more details by listening - have fun!

Over time, his musical taste has evolved, influenced by Progressive House and Deep House, leading him to Dub Techno, which is very close to him and he has been representing this style for a couple of years now. Besides music, sound quality is also important to him, so he prefers vinyl to always get the best possible sound on different systems. In 2011, Helikon Radio in Keszthely, Koktél, gave him a regular opportunity a resident DJ and editor to make his style available on terrestrial broadcasting in the region. In 2015, he and his friend AeRo founded the Euphonic Moments event series, which has become a show on Tilos Radio since then (Budapest, FM 90.3 and online). The Dub Techno-centric broadcasts can be heard bi-weekly, featuring guests mixes from Hungarian and international DJs who are doing quality work, alongside the hosts.

Der Wonnemonat startet mit einer neuen Ausgabe von "XtraChill" - und der liebe Andreas aalt sich hoffentlich bei bestem Wetter am Gardasee in Norditalien! Damit ihr am heutigen Maifeiertag nicht auf Eure frische Dosis podsafer Electronica verzichten müßt, wurde diese 414. Episode (erneut) eine knappe Woche im Voraus produziert - mit einem kleinen Schwerpunkt auf Dub und Minimal Techno. Genießt diesen "Tanz in den Mai" der etwas anderen Art! The merry month of May starts with a new edition of "XtraChill" - and dear Andreas is hopefully basking in the best weather at Lake Garda in northern Italy! So that you don't have to go without your fresh dose of podsafe electronica on May Day, this 414th episode was (again) produced almost a week in advance - with a small focus on dub and minimal techno. Enjoy this “May Dance” of a different kind!
Kurz vor knapp hat der liebe Andreas diese 413. Episode von "XtraChill" auf den Server geladen - denn eine einwöchige Dienstreise nach München stand letzte Woche auf dem Programm. Immerhin hatte Euer Gastgeber auf den langen (und sogar pünktlichen!) Zugfahrten genug Zeit, sich mit der heutigen Musikauswahl vertraut zu machen. Nach den vielen "Flotten Dreiern" in den vergangenen Ausgaben geht es heute recht züchtig zu, denn es stehen drei Songpaare auf der Playliste, die, jedes für sich, ein kleines Thema haben. Freut Euch u.a. auf Auszüge aus zwei starken Compilations und der "Exhumierung" zweier (vermeintlich) toter Netlabels! Shortly before, dear Andreas uploaded this 413th episode of "XtraChill" onto the server - because a week-long business trip to Munich was on the agenda last week. At least your host had enough time on the long (and even punctual!) train journeys to familiarize himself with today's music selection. After the many "Threesomes" in the past editions, today things are quite modest, because there are three pairs of songs on the playlist, each of which has a small theme. Look forward to, among other things, excerpts from two strong compilations and the "exhumation" of two (supposedly) dead net labels!
Frohe (Rest)-Ostern! Episode 412 von "XtraChill" erscheint pünktlich am 01. April 2024 zum Ausklang des langen Feiertagswochenendes, quasi als krönender Abschluss! Der liebe Andreas versüßt Euch Hörern den Ostermontag mit frischer, podsafer Electronica, wobei zwei bunte musikalische Osternester im Mittelpunkt der Eierjagd stehen. Ein ganz besonderes Geschenk befindet sich dabei im zweiten, denn das Soloprojekt "Fonogeri" kehrt nach längerer Pause in diesen Podcast zurück und hat gleich drei (!) neue Alben mit dabei! Da freut sich nicht nur der Osterhase! Happy Easter! Episode 412 of “XtraChill” will be released on time on April 1st, 2024 at the end of the long holiday weekend, as a kind of crowning finale! Dear Andreas sweetens Easter Monday for you listeners with fresh, podsafe electronica, with two colorful musical Easter nests being the focus of the egg hunt. There is a very special gift in the second one, because the solo project “Fonogeri” returns to this podcast after a long break and has three (!) new albums with it! It's not just the Easter Bunny who's happy!

Da der Frühlingsbeginn schon in den Startlöchern liegt, setzt der liebe Andreas heute, am 15. März 2024, alles auf zwei "Flotte Dreier", die aber eigentlich zwei "Songpärchen Plus" sind - also zwei Stücke mit einem "irritierenden" Mittelstück, das mit einem fremden Genre dazwischen funkt um die Reibung zu erhöhen! Künstlerische Kontraste sind also angesagt, in dieser 412. Episode von "XtraChill"! 50% der eingeladenen Projekte geben zusätzlich noch ihr Debüt in diesem Podcast - wenn das keine Frühlingsgefühle auslöst... Viel Spaß beim Anhören! Since the beginning of spring is already in the starting blocks, today, on March 15, 2024, dear Andreas is betting everything on two “Threesomes”, which are actually two “Pairs of Songs Plus” - i.e. two pieces with an “irritating” middle piece with a foreign genre in between to increase the friction! So artistic contrasts are the order of the day in this 412th episode of “XtraChill”! 50% of the invited projects also make their debut in this podcast - if that doesn't trigger spring fever... Have fun listening!
A new mix for the brilliant Monument platform, and their new series ‘Waves' which looks to feature more of the ambient side of things, rather than the deep techno world they are known for, if the first of the series by Chris SSG is any indication. After our label showcase mix I did for them a few years back, I was extremely pleased to return to Monument again and decided on a new approach for #2. Taking inspiration from the podcast series' title, I aimed to create a mix that focused on repetition and layers, as if staring out to sea watching blankets of waves roll in from miles out; changing in intensity, but forever calming in their unbound repetition.The result is reflective of the many adjacent styles I enjoy from ambient, to IDM and deeper techno and some of the seconds of tracks that stand out to me, or I forever wished to be looped in my head - be it a texture, vocal or beat pattern. Thank you Monument for the support over the years, and for inviting me to what I am sure will become a very special series.

Da hatte sich der liebe Andreas auf seiner Karnevalsflucht in die schönen Ardennen so schön erholt - um gleich nach seiner Rückkehr in den totalen Arbeitsstress zurückzufallen! Denn in seinem Labor werden in diesen Tagen neue Geräte installiert und das nimmt ziemlich viel Zeit in Anspruch. Zeit, die leider fehlt, um diese 410. Episode in gewohnter Form zu produzieren. Damit das übliche Veröffentlichungsdatum heute, am 01. März 2024, eingehalten werden kann, wird die Musikauswahl im Stil der "XL-Specials" präsentiert. Vor jedem Titel erfahrt ihr, wen und was ihr hört - insgesamt also weniger Gequatsche. Manche wird's freuen! Alle anderen dürfen auf die kommende Ausgabe hoffen, wenn der liebe Andreas beruflich hoffentlich nicht mehr so stark eingespannt ist! Dear Andreas had recovered so beautifully on his carnival escape to the beautiful Ardennes - only to fall back into total work stress immediately after his return! Because new equipment is being installed in his laboratory these days and that takes a lot of time. There is unfortunately no time to produce this 410th episode in the usual form. In order to meet the usual release date today, on March 1st, 2024, the music selection will be presented in the style of the “XL specials”. Before each track you'll find out who and what you're listening to - so less chatter overall. Some people will be happy! Everyone else can hope for the next issue, when dear Andreas is hopefully no longer so busy with his job!
After Sa Pa's isolatedmix contribution last month, we continue in an unintentional alphabetical spectrum of brilliant producers, with Saphileaum. There comes a time after listening to some musicians for many years that certain instruments and musical approaches begin to stand out. Sure, most of the time you probably know what album you're sticking on the turntable, but when you have those days you put on shuffle (or when you're listening to 9128.live, cough cough), some producers start to stand out and trigger the music-geek in you from the first few seconds. It can take many years or decades to find and hone a unique style, but I think Georgian producer Andro Gogibedashvili is well on his way to carving out a unique style of organic, new-age ambient and tribal-infused techno. Saphileaum's isolatedmix is a perfect example of his style as a whole, with elements you might hear in his productions stylistically coming to the fore throughout the 25 tracks, despite not including a single track of his own in the mix. I sent Andro a few questions to complement this wonderfully energizing trip. Check out his latest release on the revered Mule Musiq label, and expect more music from him soon. ~I first came across your work in 2019 with Silent Season, how have things changed for you since?My first release on Silent Season called "The Traveler" was a sort of a turning point for me and my sound. It was music that I'd created after a pretty long break recording-wise. Since the release was out, a sort of a new journey began for me. I started making more tribalistic and electro-acoustic musical pieces and was also trying to balance them out with downtempo and half-beat grooves, sometimes a bit techno-like maybe too. I also dived a lot into Percussions and eventually ended up learning and playing on real Congas, Bongos, and Georgian Dhol. I'm still in the process of learning and hopefully, it will never end! The Traveler by Saphileaum I can start to recognize your style over the years which is often a sign of a great unique producer. But how would you describe your sound to someone new?Thank you very much! I appreciate it. I would describe my music as "Background Music", "Music which you play at gatherings", "Music for Meditation", "Music for looking at the night sky". I would describe the sound as Tribal, Ambient, Cosmic, Joyful and Relaxing. Your Discogs profile states "Saphileaum is highly inspired by esoteric, mystic, new age, cosmic and visionary art and teachings". Do you think New Age music is becoming more prevalent today? Is this something you aspire to? Yeah, I think New Age music is slowly starting to get more and more recognized. It is quite a young genre still, compared with the other ones. Plus, there are some musicians and producers who are pushing the boundaries of what New Age music can sound like and it's really amazing to see it grow. First thing that I immediately fell in love with, before listening to the actual music, was the name itself, New Age Music... Saphileaum - Transpersonal Experience by Saphileaum You've been on several labels over the years including Oslated, Constellation Tapes, Mysteries of the Deep, Mule Musique and Good Morning Tapes (the GMT released in 2021 was one of my favorites of yours). What is the goal of releasing on different labels? I look at labels as traveling to another country that I've never been to. Meeting new people, exploring its culture and heritage, and contributing to it. There are always new possibilities, new inspirations, and new crowds in every label. It's very important for me that a label where I release music has a sort of a musical or ideological vision that I share and like and that it's represented well visually. I should feel inspired by and connected to it.Can you tell us about the mix you have prepared? The mix was mainly inspired by the music I've been enjoying recently. It's ambient, but it's rhythmical and diverse. There are a few ethnic tracks that might sound similar, but they have elements that differ them culturally. I like the thin multicultural line it has, which might be tricky to notice, maybe. To be honest, there was no particular vibe I was after, I just wanted to create an interesting musical journey to enjoy.There are quite a few artists in here I'm unaware of, are there any you'd like to call out in particular? I would like to thank all the artists, whose music I've included in this mix, for creating these pieces and putting them out in the world. I recommend checking them all out, there's much more to explore! astrangelyisolatedplace · isolatedmix 126 - Saphileaum Listen on Soundcloud the ASIP Podcast or the 9128.live iOS and Android appDownload MP3Tracklist:1.

Aus logistischen Gründen wurde diese 409. Episode von "XtraChill" nicht am heutigen 15. Februar 2024 produziert, sondern noch vor der "Karnevalsflucht" des lieben Andreas! Weshalb Euer Gastgeber noch nichts von seinem Ardennen-Urlaub berichten kann. Am gestrigen Aschermittwoch war mal wieder alles vorbei - ein Glück für Karnevals-Muffel, ein Drama für all die Jecken, die ihre Pappnasen bis November wieder in den Schrank hängen müssen. Nach zwei Folgen mit einem dominanten Viererset sind heute wieder zwei "Flotte Dreier" angesagt - und noch viel mehr. Reinhören und entspannen, denn diese Playliste wird Euch sicher überzeugen. Wetten dass? For logistical reasons, this 409th episode of "XtraChill" was not produced today, on February 15th, 2024, but before dear Andreas' "carnival escape"! Which is why your host can't report anything about his vacation in the Ardennes yet. Yesterday, on Ash Wednesday, Carneval was all over again - a blessing for those who don't like it, a drama for all the buffoons who have to hang their cardboard noses back in the closet until November. After two episodes with a dominant set of four, today there are two “threesomes” again - and much more. Listen and relax, because this playlist is sure to convince you. Wanna bet?
As someone who enjoys the process of putting together mixes- specifically more conceptual ambient leaning mixes- I often think about how I would approach playing an event designed for sleep. I'm yet to play a set like this live, but I did tackle something similar in the Portals series by roughly mixing styles that aligned to specific sleep stages (eg, REM, deep etc). But in person, sleep is never as predictable as hypothetical sleep stages for a recorded mix, let alone the idea of a room full of people mirroring these stages at the same time. To approach an in-person set for sleep would be a daunting undertaking, but an extremely rewarding experience for both DJ and listener - the career highlight for an ambient DJ, maybe... They say the warm-up set is the hardest test for a DJ and I would tend to agree. But I'd love to see some of the world's best DJs execute 3.5 hours of music for a room full of people looking to do the exact opposite of dancing, or even listening for the entire duration… Sa Pa has executed this concept flawlessly.No stranger to the minutia and atmosphere needed to transport someone from a horizontal state into an elevated lucid dream, I can hardly think of anyone better to take control of such a situation than Berlin-based artist, Sa Pa. His latest release for Astral Industries (the undisputed label kings of lucid states no doubt) is the perfect example of transportive and psychedelic ambient music down to the finest grain of sound and texture. AI-33: Atmospheric Fragments by Sa Pa If Sa Pa's productions weren't enough to demonstrate his transportive power and worldbuilding tendencies, then his recent captures from his own Absurb Lustre events, or his mix for one of our 9128.live takeovers, may provide an additional glimpse of what to expect when he was given the reigns for an all-night sleep in event recently, in Leipzig.“For years I've kept a mental cache of what music would I'd love to play at a sleep in, but was never really sure if there'd be a chance, so small some dreams came true that night for me too - it was a pretty rare experience I'd say especially with everyone there really taking part in the concept”.It's not often we get the chance to host a set from an event that by its very nature, is designed to be experienced in person, but after several trials of this mix (on a plane, going to sleep, and waking up from sleep - and all states in between), the concept translates to an outstanding headphone session and the perfect concept for a defining moment in the isolatedmix series of sounds. “I think it was one of the deepest and most solitary DJing experiences I have ever been part of, and driving a three and half hour cloud through the pitch darkness was a beautifully liminal journey, caring for the dreams of those in the room, some 100-200 people or so”.A 3.5hr liminal state available in your own time and place, in the gentle hands and ears of Sa Pa, displaying the very essence of horizontal ambient music designed to immerse, weave and transport. Featuring tracks from, Luc Ferrari, Zenxen, Pinkcourtesyphone, cv313, Jason Lescalleet, Yann Novak, BJ Nilsen, Robert Henke, Rod Modell, Ryoji Ikeda, Steve Roach and Sa Pa, himself. Words from Sa Pa - ‘Diary of a Lonely DJ':There's something about gazing out of a train window or being 30-thousand feet high up in the troposphere, that evokes a feeling of what we try best to describe as liminality. With this in mind, Deutsche Bahn had me scuttling toward Leipzig from Berlin on a typically stark and windy day that could of been taken right out of a Wim Wenders classic; the treetops lining Urbanstraße on the way to Hauptbahnhoff looking as stripped and brittle as burnt skeletons in the snow.Some 8-to-10 degrees warmer in Saxony, I arrived at a city shrouded in mist, with the darkness of the early afternoon somehow made a touch warmer by that first Friday-feeling of the year. Onwards to Leipziger Baumwollspinnerei - a converted cotton mill where this evening's ‘Sleep In' would take place - the 14 tram would rumble past the pink and lilac glow of the city's opera house. Sleep Ins are no new thing, and to be in the arms of the proverbial morpheus with some 200 people in an industrial estate does have its abstract appeal, and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a fan of the concept.At something like 6PM, it was encouraging to see so many people arrive dragging their mattresses with them, some eight-hours before the witching hour. Tuning in to the event, and finding a little respite backstage, I drifted in and out of consciousness, occasionally breaking REM sleep to acknowledge the sounds of “Simple Headphone Mind” and Zoviet France's remix of Panasonic, reverberating in the hall.With a medley of lullabies soundtracking the evening so far, preparing selections too deep even for my own Absurd Lustre event, provided a much needed boost of waking life before taking to the couch in the DJ booth. Over the course of the next three-and-a-half hours, in near pitch-darkness, I was able to draw from a rare cache of non-music and atmosphere, embraced at large by a small flotilla of sleeping souls, leaving port to navigate themselves through the inner landscapes of a technicolour head trip.With only the dimmed lights of my equipment and an exit sign illuminating the room, safe to say, it was a resolutely profound DJing experience and deep journey into the estranged fields of time and space. There were moments at the helm where I felt like a small craft adrift in a sea of voluminous black, while paradoxically part of a delicate collective sub-consciousness, sailing through a dream-like abyss. As if bridging a void between the physical world and something beyond the imagination, it was truly a strangely isolated place.Listen on Soundcloud the ASIP Podcast or the 9128.live iOS and Android appDownload MP3 astrangelyisolatedplace · isolatedmix 125 - Sa Pa (Sleep In) The start of the event, as attendees bring in mattresses ready for the night and Sa Pa' set.

Mit Episode 407 von "XtraChill" wird die zweite Januar-Tradition fortgesetzt, denn nach dem XL-Special mit dem Rückblick auf das vergangene Jahr am Neujahrstag steht am 15. Januar die Durchsicht der "Resteveröffentlichungen" an, also Alben, EP's und Singles, die noch kurz vor dem Jahreswechsel erschienen sind. Die aktuelle Playliste ist etwas anders aufgeteilt als sonst; im Fokus steht ein Viererset mit einem spannenden Reigen aus Dub Techno und Minimal House. Und am Ende erwartet Euch dann eine Neuvorstellung mit Musik aus dem noch jungen Jahr 2024. Viel Spaß! With Episode 407 of "XtraChill", the second January tradition continues, because after the XL-special with a look back at the past year on New Year's Day, the "leftover releases" will be reviewed on January 15th, i.e. albums, EPs and singles that were published at the turn of the year. The current playlist is divided a little differently than usual; the focus is on a four-piece set with an exciting mix of dub techno and minimal house. And at the end you can expect a new duo of artists with music from the still young year 2024. Have fun!
As with all past ‘Reflection' year-end mixes, I start with a collection of albums, EPs, and compilations I have enjoyed over the past year. Through the process of compiling a mix, tracks are selected from this extensive collection. This ultimately means many of my favorite tracks and albums are often omitted in this process, due to the organic process of compiling a mix, things don't fit, or fall by the wayside. There are many albums I had on high rotation missing from this mix, but I have to stop somewhere. As I say every year, this isn't a definitive ‘best-of' list, but a selection of *some* of my favorite music from the year in one listenable format. It's the most enjoyable way for me to boil down the music I've loved from the year using these self-imposed restrictions, for you to enjoy and hopefully discover more, and for me to reflect on time and time again - like a photograph that captures the year in music. I encourage you to use the mix to explore each artist, listen to the album in full, and explore each label (and check the Buy Music Club list at the bottom). If you want to see the majority of music I've been supporting this year, head over to my Bandcamp collection. For the ASIP year-end label compilation, see the feature and mix here.~Yikes, I crossed the 3-hour mark! Well, that speaks volumes to the amount of great music that was released this year, and I'm already feeling guilty about omissions from this mix. But alas, it needs to stop somewhere, the Holiday's are coming… This edition marks the tenth year in succession (2010 was the first mix but I skipped doing this for two years for some reason) and it is an extremely enjoyable exercise I look forward to every year. Revisiting many of the albums I've purchased throughout the year, and records from my shelf, then taking the time to absorb more recent releases - the process is cathartic (after the slight anxiety that builds knowing I have a beast of a mix to tackle, and hard decisions to be made). Looking back at previous Reflection mixes, I am evidently a creature of habit and seem to gravitate to certain artists more than most over the years (we all have our faves), but I also take a lot of time to dig for new artists and approaches to music in this realm, and this year's edition is probably the most varied in music styles since the Reflection series began. Ambient, field recordings, drone (Power-ambient, even), big saxophones (the flute revival didn't make it ;-), Japanese left-field pop, deep techno, chugging techno, modern classical, experimental, jungle, breaks, dub and more… as you might imagine, this is a 3hr mix that feels more like a showcase than a DJ mix in the traditional sense, as I'm focusing on creating chapters of different styles, but I hope makes for an attentive listen if you've got 3hrs to spare. Am I going to write about all 42 tracks? Not this time, as I don't think there's much I can illustrate other than ‘go listen to that entire album!' but I will make a few observations on themes that emerged as I was going through this process. Firstly, the far corners of Bandcamp are very much alive, so for anyone looking for alternatives given all the talk with Bandcamp this year, please don't hit the escape button and continue to support us- I continued to find so many new labels and artists, some of which are included here such as Liis Ring, Etüüd, ǝɯǝɐ, Azu Tiwaline and not to forget a kick-ass Jungle community throwing out some lovely 90's infused comps. Bandcamp keeps small labels and artists alive right now (only two of these tracks were physical releases and not on Bandcamp - #19 & #42). I spent a lot of time listening to music that would work for the two shows I played in Japan earlier this year, and for those who listened back to one of the sets I posted, you may notice a few similar tracks/artists appearing here again which I've held in high regard since their release, such as Jo Johnson, Field Lines Cartographer and Endurance. On reflection, there was a lot of deepness for me this year that came from preparing for and inspired by those sets, sitting on the edges of techno with lots of synthesizer/Berlin school projects (as well as a couple of artists I got to see in person whilst over there such as Yolabmi and Endurance).There were a couple of glaring omissions from this mix (*checks Bandcamp app most played*) which I had on rotation so much this year that I still wanted to mention, such as Imaginary Softwoods, who was behind one of my favorite tracks of the year, ‘Diagrams of the Universe'. Along with Johnny Nash's Point of Entry - a tranquil guitar-laden affair, both of which never left my turntable for long.The ever-expanding ASIP roster of artists, both alumni and current, had an extremely busy year evidently (I try to restrict their inclusions in this mix where I can otherwise it could be an entire ASIP promo show… hey that's an idea…). bvdub released about ~10 masterpieces, as only he can, flaunting all possible peripherals in his deep arsenal (along with rounding out the Earth House Hold project with us of course). ASC was crazy busy with his quality retro Spatial DnB releases (one of them made it in here). For those who enjoyed Alex Albrecht's debut with us, don't miss his earlier 2023 release. Deepchild released another great textured follow-up to his ASIP debut for those wanting more. 36 continued some rave-esque ambient no doubt inspired by his 9128 recording a few years back. Markus Guentner began an exciting collab project with Joachim Spieth (and also appeared in several other collaborations). RAI kept things relatively reflective with a few Bandcamp specials and recordings from his live tour. Benoit Pîoulard made a beautiful return to Morr Music, and Christian Kleine rounded out the year with a limited vinyl press. Those needing more from our 2023 new signing Mikkel Rev, can check out his earlier album released in January this year. James Bernard had a busy year alongside his wife as Awakened Souls, and found more 90's DAT goodness among many other projects. Mick Chillage released a superb sleeper IDM album in the form of Initial Programs. Dr Atmo's throwback to his early sounds saw a rebirth of one of his most enjoyed albums alongside new remixes. Wanderwelle made their second full-length odyssey for Important Records and Yagya continued to explore uncharted new takes on his sound through his new label imprint. Scanner's innovative repertoire continued to expand and one of my faves of his came in the form of this collab. Hior Chronik published a couple of unreleased gems. And lastly, Ludvig Cimbrelius aka Purl/Illuvia and Arovane managed to sneak onto this mix with a couple of their releases… Two labels who hit home runs for me this year with the majority of their releases. Illian Tape had some extremely great (and varied) electronic releases. And while Mysteries of the Deep's output was relatively choice (quality over quantity), 3 out of the 4 releases made it onto the mix! There are a couple of tracks in the mix from albums that align with what seems to be, the common consensus on some of the ‘best' electronic releases from the year (one of the advantages of my waiting until mid-December to finish this mix is I see what other people are rating highly or what I might've missed) such as James Holden's psychedelic return, and Purelink's amphibious dub LP. But other than those two, I think everyone should find something new among the twists and turns across the 3 hours and 42 tracks.For the mix artwork this year, and after last year's terribly basic AI take (it's come a long way in a year!), I toyed with creating another AI attempt on a “A Strangely Isolated Place” prompt, but you have to spend time to get quality back out of these lil' work gnomes. Every image I created from that prompt ended up being a stereotypical lonely hiker (with 4 fingers I'm sure) strolling through a highly conceptual colorful future universe. Either that or a decrepit shed…So instead, I opted for an image that means much more to me… a wall. Not just any wall though, it's the wall outside of Spread nightclub in Tokyo where I had the pleasure of playing an ambient set this year, meeting new friends, and making some amazing memories.Thanks to all of the artists and labels included here who have soundtracked my year in more ways than one, and the many more I didn't manage to include this time around. Be sure to check the previous year's Reflection mixes for more of the same. Hope you enjoy the listen back at a great year of music. astrangelyisolatedplace · ASIP - Reflection on 2023 Listen on Soundcloud the ASIP Podcast or the 9128.live iOS and Android appDownload MP3Tracklist:01.

ASIP is going on fifteen years of existence now (as a website and blog at least), and a few things have remained a constant over the years helping keep us going. One of them has been the support of Juno and in particular, Milo Bragg, who was the first distributor to take us on as a label back in 2013. As many labels and musicians will know, it's pretty hard to get your start in this world, and Juno can be held up as one of only a few who have kept an open ear to our style of music and given it a home (and subsequently many other labels like us). Over these past ten years or so, Milo and I have gotten to know each other relatively well, and more recently Milo has stepped into the label game with Future Primitive Records and can be found putting together some sublime vinyl-forward mixes. I'm excited to find our worlds overlap here in the isolatedmix series, as Milo recorded a vinyl-only set a few months back and sent it my way, (after a long delay - sorry Milo - Good things come… etc etc.). Featuring several tracks and albums that have been on high rotation for me, it's a superb trip that I think many of you will enjoy. ~You've worked at Juno for many years now, how has this shaped you musically? For example, I imagine getting exposed to a great amount of music over the years... It's definitely helped me find what I do and don't like for myself. When I first started in the late ‘90s/early ‘00s I'd sit and listen through a massive pile of records at the end of each day and didn't have to pay attention to press or DJs like most people back then, I could find the good shit for myself! Listening to the new releases in an office environment shaped my taste to be more chilled too. It just suits the environment, when I first started I was predominantly into hard club bangers :)I'm interested to know a bit about your view on record labels within your role and what you think it takes to succeed as a label nowadays. Everyone knows pressing vinyl is hard, and securing a great distributor like Juno is just as hard and critical for further exposure. How have you seen things change for labels since you started at Juno all those years ago? It's so tough for vinyl labels now especially the new smaller ones doing really interesting stuff sadly. The visual side of things has become so important with stores using Instagram so much they need the record to look good. I think the “anti-marketing” days of just putting some clips up on Soundcloud are over sadly, I'm always so stoked on DJs/artists/labels that aren't on Instagram but I don't think you can escape it anymore, especially if you're just starting out. Silent Season · Campfire Stories 79 (A New Dawn) by Milo Bragg Juno has always been a great supporter of ambient music in general, giving a platform to many small labels such as ourselves over the years. What does it take in your opinion to secure a distributor like Juno? Yeah, my boss Richard (one of Juno's founders) loves his ambient :) If you're not going to get a well-known artist involved at the early stages to help bring attention and get the label off the ground, the music (and artwork) had better be bloody good! You've got your own projects going on too, with the Club Rooted mix series and the Future Primitive label, can you give us a brief intro into these? Club Rooted was a product of listening to records in the Juno office with Matthew Kent (Blowing Up The Workshop/Mana) and suddenly realising they weren't dance music anymore but still very much rooted in club culture. I got really excited about that zone and thread that runs through electronic music's history. There are so many good labels pushing stuff that rides this line, and events too like Absurde Lustre (& more recently A New Wave) in Berlin run by Sa Pa & Blume.How or why did you decide to start Future Primitive? (Did seeing labels at Juno all those years make you want to do something similar?!) I've always been obsessed with vinyl labels so of course I'd want my own and it was a way of contributing to the scene without being a producer + I came across a lot of music through work by artists like Murcof & DJ Guy that was CD or tape only the label was a way of me getting those tracks onto wax! The original of The Leo Anibaldi track “Aeon Fusion I” from FPR001 was super fast too and the label enabled me to work with the artist to slow it down and to get it DJ-friendly for the vinyl heads :)This mix came out of nowhere and (for everyone here) took a while for me to actually publish it since you sent it last year! What was the inspiration behind it? I got excited about recording an ambient mix. It felt challenging, I wanted to capture something in between the old chill-out room sets and a modern-sounding warm-up. It only takes a couple of good records to inspire me to start piecing a mix together, it's often their juxtaposition I get a real kick out of. I love beat-matching records that shouldn't work together on paper and have always found DJs that make a new sound by mixing old records very inspiring, it's not a million miles from producing really. Konduku is definitely someone I think finds a new thread in old records that inspires me a lot. Club Rooted · Club Rooted #3 / Konduku Given you get the pick of the bunch at Juno and get to listen to so many records in advance, who are some musicians or labels that might be relatively new or unheard of that excite you when landing on your desk? PVAS, Kosmogonik (check their ambient stuff!), Purelink, Cousin, Yushh, Mu Tate, Sindh, X Or Size, Rat Heart + love the Luck Of Access and Doo labels.I've followed your mixes for years now, but see you're also DJing out quite a bit more now.
