8 Tracks Of: Underwater Garden with Dreems

 
Music

How do you grow petunias under water? What’s the best way to plant broad beans in an aquatic garden? We don’t have the answers, but we reckon Sydney native Dreems might know a thing or two.

When he’s not communicating with dolphins or commanding the deep seas, you’ll likely find him co-captaining Multi Culti, a label that’s been home to the likes of Red Axes, Peter Power and Auntie Flo, as well as releasing his own rhythmic stylings on Kompakt, Futureboogie and Le Temps Perdu, the home of his most recent sub aquatic release, Shark Water.

Whether you like to dip your toes cautiously in the water or strip down to your birthday suit and dive in head first, you’re going to need a soundtrack to do it to, so grab your snorkel and don your wetsuit before submerging yourself into Dreems selections…

Follow Dreems. Buy Shark Water.

LISTEN
Markus Stockhausen / Jasper Van't Hof - Aqua Sansa

Wet your whistle, or your brass wind instrument and blow some bubbles back up to the surface from your underwater world. Or if you want to experience from the comfort of your couch, here – where the oxygen is rife, then just put this song on and put your flippers up.

  • Arp - Folding Water

    Have you ever tried folding water? It’s not as easy as it sounds, and the sound it makes isn’t easy to capture. Arp adeptly does both quite frequently.

  • Mark Mothersbaugh - Ping Island/Lightning Strike Rescue Op

    If you wrote the music for Rugrats over 13 years and also penned ‘Whip It’ then giving Steve Zissou’s team a theme-song to their tactical missions would only seem like the next logical step forward.

  • Zongamin - Underwater Paramid

    Susumu Mukai’s adventures down the sonic rabbit hole have gone relatively unnoticed to the mainstream for many years. I guess it’s because he has been swimming deeper with some sort of advanced breathing apparatus and water-proof recording equipment that allows him to do things unlike any other. His sporadic releases only float to the surface far out to sea where the most worthy of music-collectors dare sail.

  • Virna Lindt - Underwater Boy

    I can’t remember where or how I stumbled upon this song, but if I had to fictionalise it (which I will do right now), I would say: I may not look my age, but…. I AM THAT UNDERWATER BOY.

  • Air Liquide - The Increased Difficulty Of Concentration

    Words have no words for words when you just want simple words to explain that you’re drowning in sound.

  • Baha'i Victory Chorus - Nightingale Of Paradise

    Exotica seems to always conjure the feeling of waves washing up against the edges of an afternoon reverie. Swinging in an underwater hammock, clinking cocktails with Turtles and tuna-fish.

  • Dreems - The Dolphin Communion

    It’s totally ok be tooting my ship’s horn isn’t it ?
