We welcome the fantastic electro duo of CYRK for mix #093.


CYRK is a live show and studio duo born from the visions of two Berlin-based producers, Samy Goossens and Pascal Hetzel.


They have been busy playing around the world as a live act, bringing their Detroit-influenced blend of techno, acid and electro, as well as their love for all things italo to some of the world’s best dancefloors.  From their extensive hardware set up, they fuse tough, eyes-down grooves with propulsive basslines and restrained, melodic atmospheres.


Their studio work has led to acclaimed releases on Running Back, Rawax, Burial Soil, Vakant, Avoidant, Dred, Lone Romantic, International Chrome, Discos Atonicos and their own Time Zero label, as well as remixes for Fabrice Lig, DJ Hell and T99.  In September 2021 they released their debut album, ‘Escaping Earth’ on Muallem’s (of-Blitz-club-fame) label, Childhood to much international acclaim.


There is more in the pipeline: an electronica/ambient album, two very special collaborative releases, which will be announced in due time.

** Podcast #51 – ASC (aka James Clements) **

James Clements, otherwise known as ASC is the man behind On the 5th Day podcast #51 and this, 5th Day friends, is something really really special!

If you’re familiar with ASC then simply seeing the name will most likely get your heart racing, as you’ll have a fairly good idea of what’s in store. Here is a madly talented artist who perfectly personifies On the 5th Day – with an undeniable talent for capturing and communicating feeling through his music, injecting a multitude of heart and soul into an everlasting stream of consistently beautiful tracks across ambient, techno and beyond for near on 20 years. Yeh, that pretty much does it for us!

Producing since 1997, with his earlier musical undertakings focused on drum’n’bass (for which he was a prolific producer for over a decade), ASC’s sound took a more ambient and experimental direction in the late 2000s, at which point he took a strong following of dedicated, open-minded admirers of the Clements originality with him, all hungry to see what would follow. What was to follow was some of the most original and impactful music to circulate the electronic world, melding together ASC’s earlier cross-genre musical influences as well as his ongoing inspirations, the sci-fi world included.

The launch of ASC’s Auxiliary label in 2010, intended as a blue print for quality deep electronic music (soon after growing a few sub-labels) went onto become a pioneering platform for his sound, with Sam KDC bought on board to help bring the boundary pushing vision of the label to life. Today, the imprint does everything it says on the tin - providing an abundance of quality deep vibes to lock you in, with its latest release being a collection of sequences programmed, performed and recorded live by the man himself.

If ambient is your thing, then ASC is 100% your man! Naturally drawn towards emotional, atmospheric sounds, ASC’s outputs in this field – including 7 stunning releases on the renowned Silent Season label – are scintillating and alluring, so much so that some of this music led him to work on both film and video game scores.

The musical journey ASC has crafted for us here, largely formed of brand new, unheard material, is the perfect trip showcasing the heavier side of his sound, whilst still encompassing the more emotional, atmospheric techno he's known for. This is another super special addition to the stream and one we’ll wholeheartedly treasure for a long time to come. Thank you ASC!

On The 5th Day Podcast #051 - ASC

01. Ntogn - A Thriving Planet (6:28)
02. Ntogn - Pray to the Eagle God (6:08)
03. Ntogn - Changa Slums (5:15)
04. Ntogn - The Blossoms of Ahn'Kiraj (6:37)
05. Ntogn - Prying Open the Third Eye (10:54)

It's been well over two years since the last chapter in the tome of Ntogn. 'Sathurnus' saw the destruction of his former world and time has since then laid the foundation for something new. 'Utopia' offers a challenge for new and old listeners alike as darker rhythmical expressions now morph into something more cinematic; introducing melodies, instruments, singing and elaborate arrangements to guide the listener through psychedelic terrain.

The EP is composed out of a new-found passion for modular synthesis which lies at the core of each track together with the usual experimental usage of field recordings and the artist's voice as source for a wide range of elements. It's a story as well as creative excursions where Michel shares intimate moments intertwined with wild sound sculpting ideas; all shaped into small stories of fiction and magic that hopefully takes the listener on a trip.

*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

Ntogn [en'togg-n] is a conceptual electro-acoustic project developed by @Hypnus Records' founder and sound design graduate Michel (b. 1988, Sweden). It aims to breath life into a fascination for magic with the use of contemporary and classic sound design techniques. This has resulted in what Resident Advisor's William Lynch describes as 'fierce, artistic techno that sounds like little else out there' and a discography ranging from earth-shattering techno to dark, throbbing ambient excursions.

After spending nearly three years in isolation, deeply lost in literature on history, philosophy, occultism and epic fairy-tales; Michel developed an inner world which eventually found an outlet through the means of music in 2013. By the use of field recordings and various samplings of his voice and surroundings, something peculiar sprouted as his inner images started to manifest and mature into an organic sound inspired by the emerging hypnotic deep techno scene.

Today, all music is released on his own imprint Tome in order to preserve the projects' artistic freedom and originality. After two years of sound design studies at the university and a new-found passion for modular synthesis; there's plenty of music in store aimed to satiate and corrupt the curious minds with his coming EP scheduled to be released after the summer this year.

Until then, the uncompromising sound of Ntogn can be witnessed at clubs and festivals around the world with the debut of his first live set, including collaborative performances alongside close friend and fellow Hypnus adept Birds ov Paradise.

Art Bei Ton Podcast 010: Kontinum
( @kontinum )

We are already reaching here the 10th episode of our podcast series. For this occasion, we are happy to release a part of the recorded set from Kontinum at our last event.

Thanks everyone for joining Eclectique x Art Bei Ton at ://About Blank (13.02.20), it was a such a nice event!

Event: https://www.facebook.com/events/1498702853602281/

More info about Kontinum:

Initially inspired by the subcultural scene of his hometown of Lübeck, the young artist was strongly influenced by the predominant sound of the Leipzig techno scene. Especially the infamous Institut fuer Zukunft and its hypnotic and dissociative sound significantly formed his distinctive style and quickly paved his way into the local scene. 

In 2017 then, he co-founded the project Nebula and after organising their first raves the collective quickly found its way into Leipzig's club scene and managed to establish its own event series at Institut fuer Zukunft.

In addition to managing most of Nebula's musical and organisational affairs, he continues to steadily enhance his own remarkable sound which can already be listened to on his recent releases on labels such as Circular Limited, Oslated or Lowless.

Art Bei Ton Podcast 010: Kontinum

BITE is the Berlin-based techno label co-founded by Hayden Payne (aka Phase Fatale) in 2018. Beginning with the debut collaborative EP by Silent Servant & Phase Fatale, the label aims to platform artists who operate outside the conventional preconceptions of techno and are united by an ambition to push the boundaries of electronic music. This drive is further exemplified by regular showcases at renowned institutions Berghain, Basement, and Tbilisi’s KHIDI as well as a multitude of clubs throughout Europe, Asia, and the Americas.

With a vast artist roster from stalwarts such as Ron Morelli and Teste to contemporary talent from the likes of Pablo Bozzi and Gael, the eclectic variety of releases touches upon a range of styles along the moodier fringes of electronic music. BITE has proved itself as the imprint to watch. Fresh off the heels of their 5 year anniversary in 2023 culminating in the acclaimed triple LP compilation ‘Shedding Skin,’ BITE moves into more dancefloor territory with their next releases by label head Phase Fatale and remixes by Rrose. The display of the music is also represented in its visual prowess with cutting designs and colorways intended to take the sound into another dimension. From proper techno to synthpunk and to sparse minimalist industrial, BITE never fails to deliver fresh and razor-sharp sounds tying together the narrative of dance music.
