AVEM's 2009, released on @Ocultismo, is a hypnotic dive into minimalistic grooves and lo-fi nostalgia. True to its title, the release conjures the sonic aesthetics of the late 2000s microhouse and minimal techno era—filtered through a contemporary, introspective lens. 

Ocultismo, known for championing raw, unconventional sounds on the fringes of house and techno, provides the perfect home for this release. 2009 isn't about dancefloor domination—it's about evocation, reflection, and the fragile beauty of imperfection. With this EP, Basel-based AVEM delves into hazy minimalism and nostalgic textures, reaffirming his place in the electronic scene with a sound thats both introspective and rhythmically entrancing.

@rafeeq-6

born in the fabulous year of 1972 in south west of france.
Passionated by all sounds since child (always berlin in first ! kraftwerk , nitzer ebb...& also london or paris or US house & rap) 
I became a vinyles dj in 1992 in nature , forests, private parties. Educated by Dj Nerate (UK) from famous Spiral Tribe team, i'm  proud to have been a part of these first influences @ early times of techno movement in france with very small audience (but high quality^^^ones  at the beginning , playing house, hardhouse, techno, hard techno, trance , psytrance... sharing the sound in thailand koh phan gan (92 to 95) & goa beaches (92 to 97) , jungle or breakbeat, during 10 years
After a break of 20 years..I came back on the desks , that time on digital materials from summer 2022 & at 50 years old..(!!) 
I like to improvise with all the avalanche of new stuff that i hunt & receive  each day from some precious friends.
Downtempo or midtempo (even high tempo), house, slowhouse, deephouse, hip house, electronic , deep beats,psytrance or chillhouse & even sometimes with melodic or else .
My singularity is to play without headphones most of time (it guaranty for me the essence of the energy of improvisation..)
My eclectic knowledge & my singular way to mix make my personnality , groovy & Deep most of time.
Resident of @planetibiza , I'm always opened & enjoying to make podcasts for some  labels like @octorecords @vodoom @templeofthedown @slomosensual @hekske&magicwishtapes @downtempobaby @artydal @秋分🌾 Autumn Equinox or friends' pages ..

stay tuned !
