Among many crazy and funny things I said (and did) this summer, one sentence glued to my mind: 

LIFE IS A WONDERFUL THING TO WASTE! 

I meant this in a sense of "how much of ourselves are we willingly suffocating to maintain the image THEY have imposed on us so that we can develop, progress and move freely?" Life's too short to maintain that image. Live your life the way you want. Your life is only yours, and if it makes you happy to "waste it", well it's yours to waste!

* Music genre of the mix:

After five or six years I played (almost only) a deep techno set at The Swamp, Mo:Dem Festival. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did.

In my process of overthinking I labeled my style of (writing and) DJ-ing as BRICOLAGE /ˌbrɪkəˈlɑːʒ/. In the arts, bricolage (French for DIY or do-it-yourself) is "the construction or creation of a work from a diverse range of things that happen to be available, or a work constructed using mixed media." This definition fully and realistically corresponds to what I'm creating, whether it is a text or a DJ set. This definition also fits my punk philosophy and aesthetics.

Kavarogás aka. Mankind @ Daad Gathering 2024 | The Dome

Welcome HORI and his "The Dance of Deep Currents", setting the mood for the 2025 Pumpui stage experience.  Árpád Horváth, aka HORI, has been a dedicated observer of the underground electronic music scene since the late '80s and early '90s. As a DJ and promoter, he focuses on the bigger picture, filling gaps in the scene with fresh, truly underground music rather than following trends.  Born in 1982, his musical foundation was shaped by pioneers like Kraftwerk, Jean-Michel Jarre, Art of Noise, Tangerine Dream, Giorgio Moroder, Underworld, Prodigy, Juan Atkins, Drexciya, Laurent Garnier, Plastikman, Underground Resistance, Jeff Mills, British Murder Boys, Percy X, and Mike Parker. With over 25 years behind the decks, he gravitates toward psychedelic and hypnotic sounds, constantly pushing beyond the mainstream in search of deeper sonic experiences. A passionate and versatile DJ, HORI favors B-sides and moves seamlessly between turntables and digital decks.  Having lived in Serbia, Hungary, the UK, and now Malta, his time in London deeply influenced his approach, making his style fluid and genre-defying. Currently, he promotes and DJs deep, dub, and spherical techno, curating podcast series and shaping the vibrant electronic music scene in Malta and beyond under @nexus.xmt.  "The Dance of Deep Currents" perfectly captures the essence of the experience HORI aimed to create. Like the unseen forces beneath the ocean’s surface shaping the world in subtle yet profound ways, this mix is designed to take you on a journey beneath the surface of sound and dance.

The Block Festival- One Agent @Dome

Beneath a sky bruised with rust and twilight, they danced among the skeletal cars, striking iron cylinders into thunderous drums, turning abandonment into rhythm and ruin into ritual

ANDERS NAVIGARE is on his way to Ozora 2025, setting the mood with this set: "When making this mix I wanted to express where I am musically, with tracks from my label Navigare Audio included as well as other gems, old and new. Created in the moment and improvised there and then." For two decades Anders has been a reliable source of purist psychedelia for those in the know. Partly as a visionary festival organizer and booking manager for international festivals, partly as a vagabond DJ, and today as one of the label managers for Navigare Audio. Countless gigs, in many corners of the European continent, from small private gatherings in the woods to Ozora Festival, have distilled a very distinct sound that rings true to Anders innermost core. From the early days of Zolod'esque night time Psy to today's matured deep, entrancing Techno there's a direct kinship - depth, hypnosis, subtlety, warmth, beauty, highest possible production value, and, above all, no bullshit danceability.

For the 133th episode of our podcast series, we have the pleasure to invite Capodanna!

Featuring some Hypnotic Techno and psychedelic sounds, her set is meant as a great trippy journey, setting up some good vibes to start your day ~

More info about Capodanna :

Capodanna is an Oslo based DJ, and has been a dedicated dancer for as long as she can remember. As an aesthetic voyager she traveled through a vast territory of Electronica's geography before something clicked once she allowed herself to be seduced by the deeper realms of Techno. The visionary soundscapes, the organic flow, the layering and the dynamic balancing of tribalism and futurism - Deep Techno encapsulated all that she was searching for.

Being surrounded by talented and experienced DJ's it was natural for her to take the step towards the art of collecting, selecting, mixing and recording. Capodanna is today a well known face in the Oslo underground, and has shared her love for deep, trippy technoid beats on festivals such as MO:DEM (Croatia), Ometeotl (Mexico) and Soria (Norway).
