"Sometimes an intimate environment is necessary to let the artist perform in a different way, and experiment more. It’s just love for those feelings. It’s interesting to explore without a goal."

"It’s important to feed yourself, to find time away from playing and DJing and touring, I think it’s completely necessary. I’m not one of those who thinks playing so many times is so cool, you know? You don’t need to have five gigs to be feeling like you’re on a journey."

"These are all artists that I encountered along the journey of music, in gigs, concerts, wehre I could see the connection between my ideas for Il Vulcano and their music. They are all experienced musicians, somehow fathers of their sounds, experimenting since decades. The common element is that they are people who like adventure."

"Sometimes you’ll find record collections that haven’t been brought into the digital world, it’s material you can only find on vinyl. Somehow I feel: is it going to be a lost knowledge? Is it going to be a record that was made and nobody remembers? So I feel some sort of personal responsibility and a motivation to collect this knowledge that is not easily explorable."

Thank you EOS for your support to electronic music of all shapes & forms and giving artist a platform to express them self's xxx

GIN & TONIC (Gwenan & Eli Verveine) hybrid live at MaHalla

Taylor Shockley underwatercigarlounge May 9th 2022

During summer lockdown 2021, it was forbidden to have dancing at parties. And so when exemplary north-east London record shop Hidden Sounds asked me to DJ at a sitting-down event, it seemed like the perfect workaround, and a wonderful excuse to explore some deep corners of my record collection. 
Think blankets, incense, rugs, chess, cushions, fungi, tea and 50 people laying around in a cosy space for a psychedelic, horizontal, evening listening session - pure bliss!
Here is the whole thing.

Hello everyone and welcome back! This is the 50th episode of the series if you can believe it, and joining me this month is none other than Francesca Faccilongo, also known as @PaquitaGordon.

When I created the series in 2017, it was just a small idea I came up with and pitched to some friends before starting out with literally zero idea what I was doing, aside from that I wanted to tell stories in a different way. Although I’m not a music maker myself, I’ve always been passionate about music and creativity, and it’s been such an incredible experience to meet so many like-minded artists, to hear their stories of triumph and failure, to dig into their creativity and artistry… And of course to share that all with you. 

To celebrate, my very talented friend and designer Grant Gibson has created two different AIR Podcast 50th episode t-shirts, which will be sold through Everpress, here https://everpress.com/air-50th-episode-t-shirt and here https://everpress.com/air-50th-episode-bubble-t

Thanks again so much for your support, I’ve got some really amazing episodes coming up for 2023 and am looking forward to what's next.

I also recently started a Substack newsletter for AIR, where I’ll be sharing updates about the series, and also my thoughts and musings on music and my various guests. The first newsletter is out today, you can read my thoughts on making the 50th episode and interviewing Paquita here: https://airpodcast.substack.com/p/50

You can also follow us on Instagram at @_airpodcast or support us on Patreon at patreon.com/airpodcast. 

Onto today’s episode, which features Italian DJ Paquita Gordon, a resident of festivals like Terraforma and Waking Life, and a true musical devotee. A DJ for over a decade now, she’s spent time in London, Mallorca, and Sicily, bringing with her a deep love of music, creativity, and nature. Her mixes are meticulous and thoughtful, with each record well-researched and purposefully chosen. Her DJ sets are storytelling in its truest form, and playing out, for Paquita, is the best part of her job. Her site-specific performance project Il Vulcano invites artists to join in her in different Mediterranean regions for a jam session that is recorded, but never shared. Her goal as an artist is always to form links, whether that’s through sound, through art, through nature, or beyond, she is always seeking connectivity rather than publicity. She finds joy in the making of things, rather than solely in the end result. In this conversation, we explore her creativity, and the musical and artistic connections that make up a life spent loving music.

COLOURS IN THE NIGHT w. Jane Fitz [11.03.2023]

And now for something slightly different - but also something we're going to be doing more of too: Muzan is proud to present SBat's opening set from our Subterra party at Osaka's Upsidedown last month. 
SBat began the night right, slowly sinking us in deep with choice choice atmospherics and hypnotizing beats. The party that followed was one to remember and we're delighted to present our listeners with a glimpse of that night.

SBat - Subterra - Live at Upsidedown 17.06.23

This set was recorded live on the night opening from 11pm - 1am for Subterra, something I hope will become a regular thing in Osaka (and hopefully Tokyo). It was a truly amazing night to be a part of and something I spent a lot of time thinking about and getting records together that I hoped I could piece together on the night to suck people in and set the scene for DJ Morita, Lene Andreasen and yu1 (who all played amazingly). The mix is of course a bit rough around the edges, a couple of times I zigged when I planned to zag but hopefully that adds to the charm and the journey as a whole is one you'll enjoy. I know I certainly enjoyed being there and listening back to it brings back memories of what was an incredible night that I won't soon forget.

I went back through the mix trying to piece together the tracklist so hopefully others can go forth and find more stuff by all of the amazing artists on there. I think I got them all but apologies if I missed/messed up!
