isolatedmix 126 - Saphileaum

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!

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...

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!

Ute #45 Mikkel Rev

Wow, it’s been a while since I have posted a featured mix on here. But this one is truly deserved.

As you probably know by now after ready the introduction to the Marius Bø isolatedmix, I am a big fan of the Ute collective, and one of the key figures of the collective, Mikkel Rev (also known as Omformer) has prepared this rather special mix of unreleased/upcoming material.

What I can tell you, is that some of this won’t remain unreleased for too long ;-)

A superb journey from one of today’s most exciting producers. Varied, melodic and an immense respect for the classic trance ambient sound.

todos – The Kilchurn Sessions

**Continually updated post with the latest mix in the series**

Kilchurn Session XVII debuted on our 9128.live radio platform last week and immediately garnered todos more deserved admirers for his crafted mixes. Episode 17 is an expansive and euphoric addition to the series, with clear ups-and-downs to hold the listeners attention amongst some lovely more melodic retrospective moments. As always, todos paints a spectrum of electronic music with his mixes, intertwining almost all elements in a creative and seamless construct.

~

A staple of ASIP since the site's inception, todos' mixes have become legendary with many of us. Spanning ambient, electronica, techno and everything in-between, todos spends months cultivating each mix, layering in samples and perfecting each transition. The over-used term, journey is often said to describe epic mixes like these, but todos has defined the very meaning of it across the expansive Kilchurn Sessions series.

These mixes should live forever, so I've taken the individual posts from the old ASIP site and combined them into this Todos super-post, along with his very latests sessions.

I'll run out of superlatives soon when it comes to his mixes, so I'll stop short of describing how epic these things are, and just let you digest the latest and greatest all below.

Mix - Jenus - The Reverse End

It has been a long time since I’ve featured an unrelated to ASIP mix on the blog. That’s not to say I haven’t been listening, but rather, other than the usual podcasts and mix series I stick to which keep me well and truly fed, I haven’t been drawn away by the kind of passion that used to come from a “blog” -type mix. Mixes that are rare, put together with so much passion and have a personal story behind them are rare to come across nowadays. It’s likely the demise of “blogs” as a whole that contributed to this - but I digress - I stumbled across Jenus’ work this week after someone I follow on twitter shared it.

A G E M O W O R O S · JENUS - THE REVERSE END - ∞ agemoworos mix tape II

The Reverse End is not just a mix for mix sake, but as put - “basically something I recorded for myself to listen to on my headphones in private”. The tracklist reads like a true fans obsession over the ambient and electronica genre, featuring artists of new and old, more obscure and more familiar, all put together seamlessly.

Along with it being a highly respectable mix, of course, what struck me was getting halfway through the mix and tracklist, noticing some ASIP tracks included, followed further down the page by a lovely write-up by Jenus. Thank you.

Mix available on Soundcloud with a lovely write-up + download options available here.

DJ Healer - ins herz der dinge lauschen / die wüste / der traum

DJ Healer returns like a superhero saving a Covid-ridden locked-down Gotham-esque City with three mixes of essential healing material that we came to love from not only his previous mixes, but that superb 3LP from 2018, Nothing 2 Loose (I managed to snap up the repress thankfully).

These mixes often signal something new is on the horizon from a release perspective - one of the only artists around who can just introduce new material on Soundcloud and create a frenzy begging for a vinyl (or full) release.

Some people are quick to judge DJ Healer’s music, especially with his use of samples, but for me, the music is the best use of creativity and simplicity. It’s music you think you could make, or that you think would be easy to make. But DJ Healer / Traumprinz / Prince of Denmark does it with effortless grace. Additionally, Nothing 2 Loose soundtracked a very personal and memorable trip for me in Japan. Probably the only time I played an album non-stop every day. It became very close to me and conjures memories like no photograph could.

These mixes are no different. Available now on the Planet Uterus Soundcloud Page.

Fingers crossed we see a release, and toes crossed we manage to actually buy it!
