The Best Of May 2022

Born and bred in the suburbs of Stockholm, @lakej(Filip Ström) comes from a background in visual arts and graphic design. After many years in this field and some life changing experiences, he felt the need to move on to a more abstract medium. Already being fascinated by electronic music and techno in particular, the dive into production and hardware came natural. 

With a huge love for details and rhythmic structures his music has evolved into an introspective, futuristic and yet timeless sound. With intricate textures, atmospheres and deep driving rhythms his music invites you to be swept away into hypnotic states, both in comfort of your own listening space as well as on the dance floor. 

After debuting on the scene in 2017 with a full length EP on Adriana Lopez label Grey Report, his output has been steady with tracks for different VA releases and remixes on various labels as well as more recurring releases with 2 full length albums in 2021 on Semantica Records and Edit Select.

PAULA KOSKI - SPECTRUM PODCAST 066

Two words for podcast #154 – celestial bliss.

Ambient and electronic DJ and producer, Mon0 has woven together a mix with sublime flow to guide you through the ultimate dream-like state, up into the cosmos.

Its depth and feeling moved us in the most beautiful of ways.

Vegim's journey into the underground began in the mid 90's. At first, music was just a hobby. 
Once he began collecting records his 
obsession grew stronger and he invested in his first pieces of music equipment. 
1998 was the year Vegim became a full time slave to the underground. 
He rapidly developed his skills as a DJ and in his Production. 
The desire to tell his story through music took over and Vegim 
has never looked back. Earliest experiments in the studio go 
back to around 2002. 
Today, Vegim is recognized as one of Techno's most influential artists. 
Not only a skilled DJ/Producer but also a graphics designer and coneptionalist 
that has a style unlike any other. He has released his own tracks and done 
countless remixes for many of the best known labels in the Techno realm.
His tracks and remixes are well supported by dj’s like: Dave Clarke, 
Laurent Garnier, Chris Liebing, Ben Klock, Marcel Dettmann, Dax J, Slam and many more.

Vegim - Spazio Magnetico Podcast [090]

The sun is back in Berlin and we are back as well after a longer break with an outstanding mix by The Alchemical Theory.

The Alchemical Theory project was born in 2018 from the creative union of three Italian producers. The identity of the project has been very influenced by the favorite sounds of the three artists, ranging from modular electronic sounds to much more atmospheric sounds. This project also comes from the love of mysticism, alchemy and nature. In each release they want to represent something that affects the listener's mind, reproducing a real mental journey.

Born and raised in Italy since ‘98, Pyramidal Decode is the pseudonym of a Techno polyhedral producer.

He started DJing as a young teenager and began producing techno works as well as playing other more classical instruments.
In 2017 he created Pyramidal Decode releasing his tracks in labels such as Subsist records, DeadCert rec, Labrynth, Parabola records and many others.
His music is hard to confine in one genre, but it spaces out between ambient techno and hard industrial. It comes out as a hypnotic trip that he uses to lead the dancefloor to further places.
2020 and 2021 have been years of major evolution in Pyramidal Decode’s production, he released his works on Axis, Edit Select, Modularz, Dynamic Reflection, B55, Hard Tools rec, and more.
