This week\u2019s guest deejay is Sanderson Dear<\/a>, the founder of Stasis Recordings<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

I met Sanderson Dear through another exceptional guest deejay<\/a> on this very podcast: Rub\u00e9n Tamayo<\/a>, and I have been grateful to him ever since.<\/p>\n\n

Each track from Sanderson\u2019s mix carries its distinct tone and texture, yet they all resonate with a shared melancholy and longing.<\/p>\n\n

Sanderson has over a decade of experience pushing the boundaries of electronic music. His productions are like a carefully crafted time machine, transporting the listener to otherworldly realms of sound and sensation. At least, that\u2019s what my experience is like.<\/p>\n\n

If you enjoy today\u2019s mix, as I\u2019m sure you will, and want to hear more music from Stasis Recodings, you can look forward to an album from Glo Phase this Where We At\u2026<\/em>, the label\u2019s third compilation, will be released this May. Don\u2019t want to wait that long? SubDan\u2019s 12\u201d EP, They Shine<\/a><\/em>, is fresh off the presses.<\/p>\n\n

Sanderson has some words about his mix below.<\/p>\n\n

Join us next week when for our Excursions in Ambience compilation retrospective.<\/p>\n\n

See you then.<\/p>\n\n

It\u2019s often difficult to distill the ethos and mantra of an imprint into 60mins while still maintaining a purposed ebb and flow. That was my challenge with this mix. My name is Sanderson Dear. I\u2019m the label manager for Stasis Recordings, a Canadian electronic label operating out of Toronto with an international cast of musicians lending their talents to shape our sonic character. We\u2019ve been releasing music since 2010. This mix highlights and focuses heavily on the chilled-out side of the music ledger. Most of the tracks are from our catalog, but I\u2019ve also snuck in a couple of gems from the crew on other labels I am a fan of.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cAfter\u201d is one of those pieces by Louis which never fails to leave me speechless. The strings, the spatial dynamics, and just the overall emotional tone. Appears on his vinyl release for Indigo Aera, in my opinion it is the standout track.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cBreathing-In\u201d is Louis\u2019 contribution to our 2020 7\u201d box compilation. The compilation is a decade celebration of releasing music. It\u2019s a project we took 4yrs to organize, and it\u2019s the release I\u2019m most proud of us realizing.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cEntwine (reprise)\u201d is from our upcoming 2023 vinyl LP by Glo Phase.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cRising Tide\u201d to this day, Urenga\u2019s \u201cFloating Island\u201d release is my favourite out of all the titles we\u2019ve released by him on Stasis Recordings.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cCaju (extended version)\u201d is part of a special vinyl companion to our Time Capsule compilation we\u2019re organizing and planning to calendar soon. It\u2019s a tune by Adriano Mirabile which describes his downtempo chillin\u2019 sound.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cMistpouffers\u201d a new Off Land jam, appears on our next label compilation hitting digital shops this May.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cFlow\u201d is from our recent vinyl release by SubDan. a 4-track EP bonding 90s D&B elements with ambient chillage vibes.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cAmbrosia\u201d label debut by Mellonius One. Best way to describe his sound, ambient scapes, and soundtrack composing meets downtempo breaks.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cHorizons\u201d by Diahgonal. The production alias of Ruben Alonso Tamayo.. super proud to have some Mexicali techno representation on our little international imprint.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cThe Detective\u201d is a jazzy, downtempo track from my first long player.<\/p>\n\n
