Sirens Podcast 023: Rigopolar

Sunday Morning @ Panne Eichel

Due to a delay on my previous flight, I missed my connection from Amsterdam to Berlin. With only 10 minutes to spare, I ran like crazy to catch the only train route that would get me there before the gig: three trains, 7 hours. I left the hotel at 12 PM and arrived at Fusion at 4 AM.

After an hour of playing, a thunderstorm hit. Some left, some came into the DJ booth, and some still danced in the rain. The music never stopped.

Despite the exhausting journey, seeing true ravers in the rain cured all my tiredness and stress. It reminded me why I started this job. Thank you for this special moment, dancers and the universe. This memory will stay in my heart forever <3

Shubostar @ Fusion Festival 2024 - Panne Eichel

The next Far Blue concept is composed by Arutani, an artist that we have been admiring for a long time now. For this special mix, he has created 16 original tracks that blend ambient, deep house, minimal, electronica, downtempo and anything in between. The mix flows between smooth, atmospheric soundscapes and deeper rhythms, creating a unique music experience, that we are proud to share with you.

‘This mixtape is inspired by the reflection of what place do we hold in the universe, capturing the sense of self and purpose while feeling adrift, a state of curiosity as well as surrender. Being "lost in orbit" also suggests a peaceful surrender to the unknown, floating freely without the need of staying still, embracing the beauty of not having all the answers.’

I recorded this mix at Summer Contrast, on Saturday from 10 PM to midnight at the Tribes Stage.
Two hours full of groove, hypnosis and tribal energy. The set included tracks from Barac, Ben Kaczor, Ben Rau, Cassy & Chris Carrier, Chris Geschwindner, DVS1, East End Dubs, Mood II Swing, Prime Minister of Doom, Sakro, Youandewan.

The last track was special. I had been holding it in my collection for a long time, waiting for the right moment. A special remix of Twin Peaks, played in tribute to David Lynch, who passed away this year. I knew I had to do it here.

This set is also an answer to those who sometimes ask me what direction I’m heading. It’s not only minimal – even though that’s where I started back in 2005–2006, before realizing that music didn’t quite fit Krakow’s dance floors at the time. Now I return to it consciously, mixing house, 90s echoes, tech house and Romanian minimal into one tribal pulse.

This is my language. And this is how I want to play.

❄️ Thomas Carmody presents Afterhour Sounds Podcast Nr. 310 ❄️

Today we have a guest who is a busy artist and much more than just a DJ and producer. Thomas Carmody is not only the label manager of the well-known dub techno label https://soundcloud.com/spclnch, but also the head of https://soundcloud.com/chippychasers The latter is much more than just a house label, however. It is also a record shop in The Hague. Incidentally, Thomas leads the art direction together with a small team (illustrator and script writer). Together they are responsible for the truly unique layout of both labels, as well as their covers, including the new stories and experiences of the two main protagonists of spclnch and Chippy Chasers. These are actually two different comic series. In each new release, the stories of the main protagonists are continued in an illustrative manner. Not without reason an article in FAZEmag was dedicated to him and his label spclnch. 

In his exclusive mix for us, he has thrown some of his favourite gems from Chippy Chasers into one pot and created a cool house leaning after-hours session that really suits any time of day. At times, the mix becomes a little more danceable and engaging. Then it becomes more dreamy and lulling. All in all, it's a really great mix that strikes the perfect balance between tension and relaxation. 
Many thanks to Thomas for this fine session. We also wish you every success with your fascinating projects.

>>> INTERVIEW <<<

✘ What is your musical background?
I produced mostly dub-techno up until 2020, then shifted focus to running two labels — spclnch (Spacelunch) and Chippy Chasers — and the Chippy Chasers Record Store in The Hague, where I'm the founder, curator, and creative producer. I handle A&R, concept and art direction, shaping releases (digital and vinyl), artist relations, and the day-to-day growth of both the labels and the shop.
My taste is broad across genres; what matters is the feel — the movement and emotion — more than the tag on the record. Formative references include Fingers In The Noise (we later collaborated on remixes for Spacelunch) and Sebastian Mullaert, whose deep-techno/ambient sensibility shaped how I think about space, pace, and patience. Frivolous also had a big impact — especially Meteorology, which pushed me toward a more conceptual, colorful approach to sound. We reissued that album together on Chippy Chasers recently as a double LP.
In the last few years I've been deeply immersed in minimal house: stylish, loop-driven, light, and unburdened. It's deceptively hard to produce — a loop that can carry 8–10 minutes with micro-shifts and no dead weight. That challenge is exactly why I love it, and a big part of my work at Chippy Chasers (and in the record store) is to champion this sound. Recent touchpoints: Alex Font and the Acme orbit; Vadim Oslov for endlessly listenable, elegantly reduced loops; and Loopdeville, who fuses minimal house with hip-hop fragments, vocal chops, and broken rhythms in a raw, underground way. Label-wise, Purple Print has been consistently strong; Perceive Records, too — even if it's been quieter lately.

✘ Any thoughts you'd like to share about your set?
It's a straight-through Chippy Chasers label showcase — dance-floor minimal house and house with touches of deep-tech and dub-tech. It moves from the first bar and keeps that energy without theatrics: clean grooves, small details. I close with a gentler piece that works like an outro — a soft way to step out.
