  1. IA MIX 390 Earthen Sea

    APR 14

    IA MIX 390 Earthen Sea

    INTERVIEW + TRACKLIST > https://inverted-audio.com/mix/earthen-sea For the 390th edition of the IA MIX Series we are thrilled to share a deep dive into jazzy neo-noir ambience from American producer Jacob Long, aka Earthen Sea. Currently based in New York City, Long is a DIY lifer, with over twenty years dedicated to Earthen Sea's wide range of sounds from long-form noise and drone recordings, minimal dub techno, and ethereal ambient experimentation. Long spent his early musical years in the Washington, D.C. hardcore group Black Eyes, before heading to San Francisco with bandmate Daniel Martin-McCormick to work with Damon Palermo on Mi Ami. While all three members branched off into their own solo electronic projects (Ital/Relaxer for Martin-McCormick and Magic Touch for Palermo), Long's work as Earthen Sea originated in the early 2000s. It began with longer experiments in drone and ambient before morphing into the icy dub techno many came to know from releases on Kranky and Lover's Rock. Recent LPs, such as 2024's Recollection, have veered to ambient, dub, and jazz-influenced tracks that consistently deliver the goods. For his mix, Earthen Sea offers an exhilarating combination of gamelan recordings, jazz, and dub techno. You will find it an ideal companion for your morning coffee or a night drive through empty, foggy cities. We also got to catch up with Jacob and learn about reuniting with Black Eyes, how recent live sets have incorporated saxophone driven drones, and his life-long love of skateboarding.

  2. IA MIX 389 Bjarki

    IA MIX 389 Bjarki

    INTERVIEW + MIX > https://inverted-audio.com/mix/bjarki/ Bjarki Rúnar Sigurðarson is an artist in flux, slipping through definitions as easily as he does genres. His early output on трип suggested a clear trajectory—big-room techno, high-impact, and high-energy. But @bjarki has always been more interested in disruption. He loves veering off the beaten track. Over the past decade, his identity has splintered across at least twenty documented personas (and perhaps some more hidden from the voyeur's view), each serving a vessel for the unpredictable. He functions in a space of humour and unease—shaping music that is erratic, raw, and wholly untamed. And there is a lot of it—keyword: a lot. Bjarki doesn’t just release music; he floods the system. His latest album, 'A Guide to Hellthier Life', is a sharp, satirical dismantling of the wellness guru social media economy, where self-care is commodified and monetised at scale. Stepping up to deliver IA MIX 389, the Icelandic producer extends that same critique—a surreal, self-aware meditation on the absurdity of performative well-being. Dark humour is nothing new for Bjarki, but here, his observations feel more honed, more biting, more necessary. The mix itself is impossible to bracket, moving through states rather than styles—thoughtful, meditative, ridiculous, and deeply melancholic all at once. It’s a trip, in every sense. And, as always with Bjarki, it’s best not to ask where it’s going.

    IA MIX 385 Alberta Balsam

    INTERVIEW + TRACKLIST > https://inverted-audio.com/mix/alberta-balsam Stepping up to deliver IA MIX 385 @albertabalsam carefully pieced-together a mix weaving a winding tale of magnetic character. Dextrously manipulated synths, coarse beat patterns, and industrial disorder open a wormhole of multiversal music, complex yet cohesive by nature - dig in.

    IA MIX 384 Sam Purcell

    INTERVIEW + TRACKLIST > https://inverted-audio.com/mix/sam-purcell Sam Purcell had been circling the peripherals of the underground music scene long before launching Blank Mind, the UK-based record label, in 2011. An early urge to create music settled quickly in his youth, eventually morphing into roles for the persistent interest in chronicling sound. A few adventures in this order stand out as wisely articulated audio narratives – exposing a quality of his innate nature and intellect as evidently visible in Blank Mind’s discography. Each release on Blank Mind hits with precision, never missing a nerve. For reference, see “Suitcase in the Water“, the thriller spoken word D&B record produced with Jacob Dwyer will have your guts in a twist. Stepping up for IA MIX 384, we get a glimmer of the mind of Sam Purcell, digging through his music-centred thoughts and fascinations with a crisp mix fuelling an hour's worth of listening pleasure. @sampurcelll @blankmindlabel

  6. IA MIX 382 Strategy

    IA MIX 382 Strategy

    INTERVIEW + TRACKLIST > https://inverted-audio.com/mix/strategy/ American producer @strategydickow steps up to contribute the 382nd edition of the IA MIX Series delivering a stunning chill-out and downtempo podcast for expansive headphone listening. Across a 20-plus year career, and as many releases, Paul Dickow operates at the crossroads of ambient, dub, and electronica. His most recent Strategy album, 'The Wet Room', his 20th album to date, was released in November 2023 via Community Library, the label Paul co-runs with David Chandler. It feels both timeless and of its time, fusing elements of climate anxiety with a heady aura of leftfield sonics. Throughout his discography, Strategy has collaborated with esteemed labels including Kranky, 100% Silk, and Peak Oil, among others, as well as operating his own Community Library imprint, for an output as vast and varied as it is consistently stellar. He's as comfortable crafting hardware-focused, DIY techno as he is spinning long form experimental suites. Strategy's mix is as wide-ranging, unpredictable, and eclectic as his music, spanning Humpbacks, Seefeel, Laurie Spiegel, and Strategy himself. It's an ideal soundtrack for expansive headphone listening or the strangest, grooviest pool party in the neighbourhood. In addition to the mix, we asked Paul all about his history, the Portland music scene, and tour memories.

    IA MIX 381 Gamma Intel

    TRACKLIST + INTERVIEW > https://inverted-audio.com/mix/ia-mix-381-gamma-intel Operating in the neighbourhood of Rotterdam, one of its finest electro technicians @gammaintelligence is a steady and sharp signal in the network of the local Dutch underground. Uninhibited, cerebral-tickling, sound architecture deploys serious craftsmanship honed from meticulously polishing every texture from his singular, chiselled perception of audio design over constructive time. Outside his explosive production unit, Gamma Intel activates the same intellect on any territory, dancefloors or otherwise, spinning oddball hot numbers to make you sweat. A perfectionist by nature, he commits to disruptive, magnetic rhythms, all assembled with a curious mind deliberately free from restraints, forming a hyper-vortex music experience. Rest assured, the trooper Dutchman strikes with sweet bullseye precision on the brand-new treat of an IA MIX 381, hammering sound selections sourced and refined on his laboratory work table. Mechanical whirrs and a barrage of bolstered beats crackle in this tasty execution from Gamma Intel—setting forth a blaze hard to quench. Feel the warmth.

    IA MIX 378 Sam Goku

    INTERVIEW + MIX > https://inverted-audio.com/mix/sam-goku Years on the rise, @samgoku distinctive style has attracted a strong following on the dancefloor. Much like his club deliveries, with IA MIX 378, he instils a playful extension to the imagination. Euphoric micro-rhythms dart through light and shadow territories, and dark ambience meets rays of spring yellow light, echoing his signature sound of tight basslines on glistening buoyant club jams.
