The old kettle whistled softly on the stove, doing its best to warm up the soaked guests — adventurers who always managed to get themselves in trouble.

— Now that was a hike to remember!
— We barely outran that monstrous cloud!
— No kidding. I wonder if the gramophone still works?

The crackling fire and creaking floorboards embodied the very idea of comfort. This was the house where Needle had spent every summer since her childhood. It felt like not much had changed since then. Everything still held the presence of her beloved grandmother. She had passed away a year ago, but the portrait of her hugging her little granddaughter still filled the space with warmth and glee.

— Let’s bake a pie. We just need to check the recipe on YouTube.
— Ha! Dream on. Forget about the internet — we’re doing this from memory!

After midnight, the baking began: they dusted their cheeks with flour, stuck bits of parchment to their foreheads, and told ghost stories. At last, they had their chance to be a true duke and duchess — far from the noise of everyday life.

Since forming over a decade ago, Seaweed Rhythm has quietly established itself as one of the most consistent and lovingly curated labels on the European underground circuit. Founded by Stockholm-based artist Zlene, the label has grown from a grassroots platform for close friends and local talent into an internationally respected outlet that’s home to some of minimal’s most cherished names – think Melchior Productions Ltd, Silat Beksi, and Priku. But behind the heavyweight roster and steadily growing discography is a genuine sense of community, care, and curiosity that drives everything they do.

Operating out of a studio near the sea, Zlene and his collaborators have long infused their work with a palpable connection to nature. Whether through field recordings, aquatic textures, or the subtle activism of donating label profits to wildlife causes, Seaweed Rhythm’s identity is shaped as much by its environment as it is by the dancefloor. There’s a tactile, almost hand-made quality to each release – from the analogue warmth of the sound design to the tattoo-inspired sleeve artwork painted by long-time friend Thure Melander.

Alongside co-running NEU, a beloved basement club in central Stockholm, and hosting intimate events across Sweden and Europe, Zlene has created something that feels both expansive and personal. With a string of standout releases on the horizon, including a new vinyl EP with Egyptian artist Shadi Megallaa and contributions from the likes of Iuly.B and Andu Simion, Seaweed Rhythm’s steady momentum shows no signs of slowing. But at its core, the ethos remains the same: make and share music with love, and let the rest flow naturally. Ahead of the next release (an Shadi Megallaa EP featuring a killer remix by Melchior Productions which we're delighted to premiere in full), we checked in to learn more. Listen here and head to the site to read our interview with Zlene!

“They’ve sent over the list of new arrivals,” said Plate, scrolling through his phone.
“Nice! I’ll pick up the package after lunch.”

Needle stretched and paced around the living room before heading back to the bedroom — her workspace of choice. Big windows filled the room with light, and with her favourite mug by her side, it was all peace and quiet. She put on her headphones and joined a Zoom call. The day’s tasks proceeded as usual: a quick check-in with the team, familiar faces, back and forth questions and answers.

Meanwhile, Plate was unpacking a box of records. He was examining the covers, inspecting the content, and setting up the lighting for a new batch of photos.

“Look at this beauty!”
“I’m in a meeting, later,” came the reply from behind the half-closed door.

There was still a long road ahead to their dream life. But the air was already charged with quiet excitement, and the wind of changes was just around the corner.

The morning was crisp and clear. The Hague was only just beginning to stir, but someone had already found their rhythm. Plate had a list of addresses saved in his notes — potential spots for their future vinyl store. Real plans, of course, called for a bit of luck and beautiful views: linden trees whispering along the canals, a sea breeze full of encouragement, distant seagull calls, and the soft clang of trams.

First stop: Denneweg — a street that felt like a page from a design magazine, nothing but showrooms, galleries, antiques, and wine. A realtor in a light shirt was already waiting by the door of a former barbershop: a clean rectangular space with high ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows. Great foot traffic. A storefront that seemed to come alive in front of the observer’s eyes. Plate could already hear the music playing, see visitors flipping through records in search of something unique.

Next came Papestraat — louder, and somehow closer to heart. A three-story building next to the city’s best coffee spot. Until recently, it had housed a small shop of handmade goods. It was the kind of place you could work, drink tea, and build a little corner lined with shelves and turntables in. The classic Dutch staircase alone was enough to inspire joy.

The day hadn’t gone in vain. Plate came home with photos of two key locations. One looked like an album cover, the other like a B-side you want to play over and over again. Needle smiled at what she saw. Somewhere between those two streets, their next chapter was quietly going underway.

Magician On Duty proudly celebrates the return of Dnl Mike (@dnl_mike) with his highly anticipated fourth release, a project that encapsulates the essence of his musical evolution and his unwavering devotion to storytelling through sound.

Dnl Mike first appeared on the label in 2024 with his debut project Fantasy. More than an introduction, it was a statement: a journey through modular synths, organic instrumentation, and cinematic textures that reflected his diverse background as a multi-instrumentalist. The release showcased not only his mastery of the saxophone, piano, guitar, and drums, but also his ability to translate those traditions into a fresh electronic language.

His second release deepened this narrative, weaving warmth and intricacy into the Magician On Duty catalog. Here, he began to shape his signature: deep, melodic, and textural soundscapes that balance meditative introspection with rhythmic drive.

Through remix contributions and collaborative projects, Dnl Mike has since built bridges between genres and cultures, bringing both soulful energy and modern electronic precision to every work. His versatility reflects his eclectic influences—ranging from blues and jazz to rock and classical—while remaining rooted in a timeless sense of melody and atmosphere.

Now, with his fourth release, Dnl Mike delivers his most refined and emotional statement to date. A collection that feels equally at home in intimate listening spaces and expansive dancefloors, the record expands on the themes of transformation, connection, and inner journey. It is music that resonates with both the mind and the heart—crafted with patience, depth, and the wisdom of an artist unafraid to explore new sonic territory.

Magician On Duty invites listeners once more into the world of Dnl Mike: a world where every note is alive, every rhythm is intentional, and every release is another chapter in a growing story.
