The seventh contribution to the Voyage mix series is gifted to us by our good friend and all-round super talented human being, AK-ONE.

Greg is a multi-medium artist based in Bristol, leaving no stone unturned when it comes to self expression. Whilst consistently exploring various realms of his craft, Greg's style and taste resonates deeply with ourselves at Plantera HQ.

Running the inspirational label 'Common Ancestors', and consistently producing insanely emotive music; it was an intuitive decision to ask him to narrate the next Voyage to Plantera.  

Big Love to you Greg <3


"Day breaks and the mist clears over the vast plains of Plantera, immense herds migrate through the heat of the pounding sun and the grass sways in the breeze.

As the sun disappears over the horizon, the creatures of the night come out to hunt, the moon illuminates eyes in the darkness.

Senses are heightened, the Savannah is a dangerous place to be after dark." - AK-ONE

Episode 72 welcomes Sweden based digger, producer, sound designing wizard Bolam to the CommaCast Series.

Founder of platform Earworm and a quickly developing name within the underground electro, tech and progressive house circuits, with celebrated releases on labels such as Space Dust, Slump and Haws, Bolam is a name that is consistently popping up on track lists around the world. Blessed to share with us a mix that combines old school warehouse rave culture with modernised takes on those old school sounds. We are gifted with an eclectically energetic hour and a half of  progressively trance fused house music bliss.

Thank you Bolam for getting involved with the series!

Avant notre pause estivale, l’heure du dernier podcast de cette saison 22/23 a enfin sonné. Après des sets plus bouillants les uns que les autres pour Radiant Records, Hör, Trax ou encore Kiosk Radio et des passages derrière les booths des meilleurs clubs de France comme Le Sucre, le Macadam ou encore l’IBOAT(aka sa 2ème maison), on reçoit aujourd’hui un pur sélecteur et lyonnais d’adoption depuis plusieurs années : RIGO.

Fêtard passionné, membre du crew bordelais Super Daronne et surtout digger infatigable, il passe la plupart de son temps à parcourir les disquaires la tête dans les bacs. Un amour du digging qu’il nous partage aussi via sa chaîne Be there or Be Square sur laquelle il met en lumière des tracks oubliées du monde entier, sans genre, sans origine et sans âge.

Quand il n’est pas en train de chercher de nouvelles pépites, ce géant au grand cœur est derrière les platines, aussi à l’aise en solitaire qu’en équipe. Avec la volonté de défendre sa vision décomplexée et conviviale de la fête, il parcourt les genres avec une aisance déconcertante et un panel de morceaux aussi bien orientés club que plus adaptés à une écoute de salon. Une selecta qui fait toujours mouche et qui sait toujours charmer son public !

On vous laisse donc avec ce jeune garnement pour un set 100% skeud garni de morceaux bien old school entre early trance, progressive house et grosse bombes 90’s. Bon appétit l’équipe 🌯
