‘For home use only’ is an anti-club social, a chance to get to know someone/something. A series of transmissions purely dedicated to exploring the other side.

Welcome back to our inflight radio, we’re just slightly adjusting the trajectory towards the idea of imminent ecstasy. Dinner will be served in the next half an hour. Our guest for this edition of lunar landscapes is a local expert in the audible field: Citizen Maze aka Adam McCoy(no relation). A surgeon in every form of the definition, his precise and methodical approach to all things sound brings artistry to the world of DJ’ing. Or, as I like to call it “exploiting other’s artwork in a poetic manner”. His perfectionist ideals are also very apparent in his newly launched record label ‘Mirror Tapes’ (TIP!!) and the debut compilation that’s just dropped, the stunning collection of dubbed-out fairytales from around the world. (Link Below) 

Adam’s prodigious contribution is three and half hours of planet-hopping merrymaking, all whilst still having a foot in the shallow end of the rhythm section, quixotic exploits across all states of consciousness, layers upon layers of perfectly woven, history-rich tapestry. There is detailed explorations of all genres, sub-genres and even inventing new ones. It emerges as somewhat of a lecture in the field, cause and effect in full effect (big ups Ishikawa). As the mix peaks and drops, the journey to each emotional high is unique, both sides of the peak explore creative ways to not only get there but also the best way to leave. It’s impossible to really nail the mix down as a single piece, instead, I think of it as an entire exhibition at a gallery. Anyway, enough thought, just block out the next three and half hours and press play and feel. 

Don’t forget to breathe. X

FHUO # 67 // Citizen Maze

Khotin has been a key figure in the developing Electronic music scene emerging from Canada - for over ten years he has been producing and releasing music.

His sound has evolved exponentially, weaving between sounds and styles with cohesive ease of which others might only dream of. His records have found a home somewhere between the heady 90's ambient and trip hop era, deep house and has drawn upon abstract influences from balearic roots, trance and a whirlwind of other other cultural guises.

All of this makes his music remarkably interesting and hard to pin down.

His forthcoming album "Release Spirit" is forthcoming on acclaimed label Ghostly International. It features a collection of ambient soundscapes, tape recordings and off piste samples as Khotin draws inspiration from far reaching influences such as World of Warcraft, train journeys through Europe and Japan, family vacations and beyond.

We asked Khotin to record a mix which reflects a similar nature of the new album - the result is a delicate assortment of textures which lend themselves to a brooding optimism for the year ahead. At least we hope..

♾ De Kat Memwa #53 w/ Andrea Ida ♾

Track ID: @ae-ida

Embarking on the new calendar season of De Kat Memwa with a guest I've been eagerly anticipating. There's always been an imaginary roster of creators in my mind that I'd be thrilled to host in the series. Vienna-based artist Andrea Ida has long been on this list, but somehow, due to my own negligence, I couldn't get in touch with her. Finally, I managed to correct this glaring mistake.

I recall stumbling upon Andrea's mixes somewhere around 2019, and I was absolutely mesmerized. Nearly every corner of the sonic internet space was filled with tropical sounds, which we were also cultivating at that time. However, Andrea stood out among music enthusiasts with her love for krautrock, punk, NDW, and other dark arts and matters.

I deeply admire individuals with diverse musical interests who can showcase a wide array of genres in their mixes, while evoking a specific emotion or association. Andrea is precisely one of those musical weavers. Her mixes are comprised of different nodes and intertwinings that form a unified masterpiece.

For me, her works are always about active listening, surprise, inspiration, and most importantly, immersion in sound, transitioning from one state to another, and also about charisma and daily protest against routines. And this unique release, recorded by Andrea specifically for De Kat Memwa, is no exception.

As I was crafting this text, I wanted to encapsulate the impression of listening to the mix in the form of a metaphor. Perhaps it was obvious to write something about an esoteric shamanic ritual.... But not today... 

For me, this mix is akin to riding on Falcor the Luck Dragon from the movie The NeverEnding Story, only you're not a teenager anymore, but an adult!

The mix is, as always, available on De Kat Memwa's SoundCloud, link in the profile description!
 

Postscript: The mix number is 53, and 5+3=8=♾.

Draw your own conclusions, but nothing is accidental in our world of narratives and simulacra!

Beautiful Swimmers 010324

Bringing things down a notch and opening the fractal gates into the chill zone, again... Everything is floating around and coming together in unusual compositions. The textures absorb every drop as they fall from above. All these entities intertwine into a visual sound clash, a different path that leads into a similar direction where the destination is always the same.

DREAMING 032 : TETSUO - Closing Set @NOON 2 NOV 2023

After a long hiatus, we're kickstarting this series back up, with the recording of Vladimir Ivkovic's DJ set from the Nov 19, 2023 Weird Science.  What an evening it was. Now we can relive it and shed some tears once more.

Weird Science With Vladimir Ivkovic

I love deep tech

This is the fourth volume in my Geography of the Mind Series, focusing on private-issued Canadian music. For this instalment I gathered a mixed bag, but tried to sustain a pensive, melancholic mood throughout. The mix weaves together psychedelic downer folk, emotive electronics, environmental ambient, tape collage, and dank & dubby new wave into a blue-hued tapestry for despondent dreamers.

Séance Centre Radio Episode 73 - Geography Of The Mind (Vol. 4)

The opener for 2025 is a mix by Khotin from Edmonton, known for his productions from such as Ghostly and Public Release. This 80mins recorded live in Victoria, British Columbia on August 5, 2023 sounds very imaginative. Over a powerful yet rounded bottom and nimbly dancing percussion, the dreamy and melancholic melodies that can be found his works sway, and his dubbed-out groove sometimes with a slight feverishness, but always maintaining a low altitude will make you feel as if you are dancing in the morning haze. Let's go deeper together.

DREAMING 044 : Khotin - DJ set @Victoria Aug 2023

136 - Before the Fall

Celestial Trax returns with new work of tonal-textural explorations.
On 'Lifecodes' the producer born Joni Judén weaves together a dense quilt of sound, shimmering and surging as it unfolds in free-time. Judén invites the listener down a luminous, harmonically adventurous path, where sound takes creaturely dimensions. The songs blossom and wilt, at times floating in states of ambivalence, at others washing over the listener like waves, bathing them in heavy light.

'Lifecodes' was created in the small village of Pynnölä, Joutsa in central Finland, where Celestial Trax has been living and working since 2020.
