Today’s guest deejay is Philippe Neau.

The kind folks at Igloo Magazine introduced me to Philippe when they reviewed his 2022 album, A Quiet Place. Philippe explores tranquil environments, blending bird sounds and water with electronics to create meditative soundscapes. Simple and captivating. I was so enchanted that I invited Philippe to share a mix with us.

Some of the themes in Philippe’s mix revolve around rebellion, introspection, darkness, electronic experimentation, and sonic exploration. There is an emphasis on societal and personal struggles, expressed through the Beastie Boys’ cheeky anthem of defiance, “(You Gotta) Fight For Your Right (To Party),” and the politically charged “Can’t Truss It” by Public Enemy. David Lynch’s “Noah’s Ark” and Scorn’s “Slumber:” delve into introspective and atmospheric territories, while Painkiller’s “Trailmarker” and the DJ Spooky’s “12 Nihilismus Dub” offer a glimpse into the experimental and industrial aspects of the mix. The presence of artists like Rockers Hi-Fi brings electronic elements and dub-inspired sounds, adding depth and dimension to the overall sonic landscape. Additionally, Philippe’s mix includes tracks by Robert Rich and B. Lustmord, Ø, and :zoviet*france:, which explore the ambient and textural side, creating a sense of mystery and darkness. I love all these songs, and you will, too.

See you then.
