stepping up the pace with this new mix from Cobahn, undulating between half-time and raw energy.

"Journey through misty dreamscapes and ancient realms, where halftime drum & bass and primal breaks echo through a primordial forest at dawn. Thick mists weave through towering trees, revealing ancient ruins in the ethereal haze, guiding your exploration through the foggy, damp rainforest. Dive deep into a hypnotic blend of atmospheric textures and emotional frequencies.”

Akf Podcast 001 - Apsāya aka “AP_Sick" - Thoughts of the speechless mind

Pour cette première émission Les Sinueuses, plongez au coeur d&amp#39;une forêt lugubre où les basses grondent et les rythmes envoutants transforment l&amp#39;obscurité en danse. 


Les Sinueuses w/ AP_Sick (13/02/25)

Marteka Fair is a techno DJ from Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Drawing from a background in acoustic percussion, Fair expresses a sophisticated concept of time and precise internal rhythm through the decks. Marked by repetitious, emergent ostinati and intense drive, her style in the booth explores the outer reaches of harmony and submerges the listener in a bold, sonorous, hypnotic experience. With a relentless focus on body rhythm by using creative filtering and nonlinear rhythmic interactions between tracks, Fair's performances disorientate, reorientate, and induce movement at a core level.

Most recently, Fair is developing and performing a mixed-media concert series called "Liminal Space," crossing techno with the visual realm alongside North Carolina-based video artist Fluxxss.

Marteka Fair - Black Techno Matters Radio

Akf Podcast 005 - Apsāya aka “AP_Sick" -  Echoes of the Five Elements

Enter the forest
A journey through a living forest, where memory lingers in every breath
Sounds evolve from ambient stillness to a raw, tribal pulse — a forgotten ritual rising from the earth
Drift beyond the five ancestral elements — wood, fire, earth, metal, and water — into the space where memory and rhythm become one 

Apsāya aka “AP_Sick" is a resolutely mysterious and modern DJ, oscillating between powerful, enigmatic tribal techno and dark, voluptuous ambient sets.
A true sonic storyteller, AP_Sick leads us into a deep, visceral ritual where intensity, sensuality, and contradiction are ever-present in her creations.

Communion #105 - APSAYA

🎧 Epica – A Cinematic Odyssey by Keith Richie

"Music is a potent mood regulator. Simply by listening, our frame of mind changes. It can open a portal to another dimension where all sense of normality vanishes. "

Epica is a sweeping, cinematic journey through sound — a richly layered, emotionally expansive album that fuses ambient electronica, Berlin-school sequencing, and science fiction themes into a single immersive experience.

Crafted by Texas-based composer Keith Richie, Epica builds upon the legacy of his prior work (Ambient Highways, Skylines, For the Willow Wept...) and draws clear inspiration from ambient and electronic greats such as Tangerine Dream, Vangelis, Carbon Based Lifeforms, and John Carpenter. But what sets Epica apart is its deeply narrative structure — an album that plays like the score to an epic sci-fi or fantasy film that exists only in the listener’s imagination.

Each track serves as a chapter in a larger story: from the ethereal swell of “Remote Isolation” and the meditative pulse of “Rebirth,” to the childlike wonder of “Tiny Creatures” and the twilight tension of “Dusk.” The album peaks with the soaring title track “Epica,” where layered synths, cinematic drums, and Mimi Page’s haunting vocals conjure visions of interstellar heroism. The closing track, “There Are Other Worlds Than These,” named after Richie’s own publishing label and referencing Stephen King’s The Dark Tower, delivers a powerful finale — triumphant, textured, and emotionally resonant.

Like a great novel, Epica is filled with both wonder and tension, beauty and darkness. It’s music built not just for listening, but for feeling — perfect for dreaming, writing, reading, or escaping into other worlds. It invites replay after replay, each listen revealing deeper textures and hidden details.

Fans of sci-fi film scores, ambient storytelling, and imaginative soundscapes will find much to explore here. Epica is not just music — it’s a sonic universe waiting to unfold.

🌟 What Others Are Saying About Epica
A cinematic and emotionally expansive experience, Epica continues to captivate ambient and electronic music enthusiasts. Here’s what the critics have to say:

Journeyscapes Radio – "A cinematic-ambient opus that’s richly layered and deeply immersive."
👉 Read the review: www.journeyscapesradio.com/2022/07/album-review-epica-by-keith-richie.html

New Age Music Guide (Album Feature) – "Epica presents a powerful blend of ambient textures and soundtrack-like storytelling."
👉 Read the feature: newagemusic.guide/new-releases/keith-richie-epica/

New Age Music Guide (Single Feature) – "The title track captures the sweeping vision of the full album beautifully."
👉 Read the article: newagemusic.guide/newagemusic/keith-richie-epica-single/

“There Are Other Worlds Than These” is an original ambient composition by Keith Richie that explores the concept of alternate realities and unseen paths—emotional and cinematic in tone, with layered textures that pull listeners across invisible thresholds.

The title pays subtle homage to a well-known phrase from Stephen King’s The Dark Tower series, but the piece itself exists as a personal meditation on change, choice, and the universes we build within ourselves.

🔊 A journey beyond the veil, through soundscapes shaped by wonder, loss, and imagination.
