Behind The Scenes: Sebastian Mullaert

Having recently guested on R&S offshoot Apollo, a home for more esoteric electronic wares than its raw and upfront parent, the label and Sebastian Mullaert decided to pull back the curtain on the creative process behind the final release. What this transpires to is a hidden archive of alternative takes and warm ups, about as far from a laborious mouse click exercise in front of a DAW as you can get.

Nick Klein

With his Euro tour freshly completed and an upcoming tour across the USA on the horizon, Nick Klein put his techno hat aside to lay down an hour-long baroque mix of opiated ambient, slo-mo folk and heartrending choral music. We seized the occasion to have a chat and discuss spirituality in music.

Shores Of Perception: Waking Life Festival

Ahead of our attendance at the debut edition of Waking Life festival, taking place between 17 – 20 August at a lake near the medieval town of Crato in northern Alentejo in Portugal, we caught up with the Waking Life team to discover how it all began.

Precipitation

Canadian producer Precipitation unveils his multi-faceted personality as he talks up his evolution as a musician, his special inclination for sampling, relationship with Vancouver and future plans as Precipitation and his new project alongside Soft Fit named Aquatic Language.

Campfire Headphase: Sad City talks up his upcoming live sunrise set at Farr Festival 2017

Responsible for one of last year’s most strikingly beautiful ambient albums, Sad City talks up debuting his new live set at our Campfire Headphase stage at Farr Festival and goes into his working relationship with Emotional Response founder Chuggy and Nick Williams, head of R&S Records sub-label Meda Fury, which led to the release of ‘Shapes In Formation’.

In Perspective: Michael Vallera

His most recent piece, the dazzling and thoughtful ‘Vivid Flu’, mirrors the complexity of today’s multi-vectorial communication systems and endless interfacing that so often come out on existential vacuums and deep identity crisis. Firmly anchored in this era of uncertainty, and looking at this exacting reality through its own magnifying glass, Vallera’s work wholly deserved a new scan.

S.O.N.S: Shimokitazawa One Night Stand

Third in the ‘One Night Stand’ series, ‘Shimokitazawa ONS’ perpetuates the sonic identity established by the first couple EPs, letting S.O.N.S’ sure shot amalgams of organic ambientisms, ayahuasca-fueled multivision scope and supple groovy flexions do the talk in splendid fashion.

In Perspective: Ligovskoï

After a promising debut outing on the more techno-oriented Parisian label DEMENT3D, Ligovskoï recently returned with the brilliant ‘Mana’, a five-tracker rife with an outright fascinating amalgam of dust-caked atmospherics, spiritual streams and droney hum. We caught up with Nikolaï and Valerio as they open up on the roots of their new record, overall studio methods and their work as a tandem and through the distance.
