Hypersoft - Adam Pits & Lisene - 07 Jul 2023

After an extended respite from the realms of image and text, and a summer spent perambulating spaces of sound and dance, we return.

The unearthing of @caldera.em.es recording has conjured the memory of when we last converged in the city lights to dance at the @thecauselondon in January 2023.

We invite you to dive into a mix that traverses the labyrinthine corridors of his musical universe and are indebted to him for the journey he takes us on.

Keep your senses attuned to the vibrations of anticipation, for we have exciting news around the corner.

CALDERA | Live from the Wormhole @ The Cause, London 14.01.23

Hailing from Osaka, Japan, Paperkraft brings a high energy instalment of top tier tune selections and unreleased material with episode 76 of the CommaCast Series.

An artist that has been continously growing within the underground electronic circuits over a number of years. We first heard of the Paperkraft name back in the primetime of the lo-fi house and techno days, an artist that was consistantly putting out truly moving and forward thinking productions. Now pushing more tech and prog inspired house music under this alias and delightfully sharing his track 'Space Cadet' with us for the latest ToneShift compilation, it's apparent even more so that Paperkraft is a true talent capable of producing top quality in any style they explore. Get locked into this mix, featuring mostly unreleased tracks from the producer and DJ.

Landing in for a much welcomed instalment to the CommaCast Series, L Daze (she/her) brings the psychedelic goodness for episode 78.
Starting her journey behind the booth in Birmingham via collective Selextorhood, now based in London, L Daze has been shelling out masterful recent sets for prestigious names such as Goddezz, Aquatic Formations, Whomp and Rhythm Section. Drawing inspiration from the 90's / early 00's trance and prog era, this talented selector combines old-school hypnotic sounds with the paced up state of modern dance floors. This hour long mix for us represents just a taste of the sheer class L Daze has when it comes to crafting absorbing story telling through tripped out grooves and mind melting sonic atmospheres. Superb stuff!

Olin's World - Olin & Ed Davenport - 02 Aug 2024

Episode 80 has landed! Welcoming to the Comma family a quickly rising name within the London circuit going by the name of Julia SC.

Midlands-raised, SE-London-based Julia SC's taste for melodically tripped out euphoric dance music was shaped in Leeds when serving as an Editor for the (now defunct) Flux blog - the much loved House and Techno event, and label. Now making a rapidly growing presence for herself within the London trance and prog scene, Julia has graced us with a delicately crafted mix that paints a sunkissed hug in the form of vintage deeply dug electro, breakbeat, trance and prog. What's so distinctive about this mix is how much it showcases an individual sound for this absolute talent of a selector and how we are held in a space of complete escapism from the first track to the last. 

Thank you Julia for providing us with this hour of tripped-out bliss!

Through the poplars, different echoes resonate.
Those old roots are already tired of the concrete jungles, of the indiscriminate usurpation of what once belonged to everyone, and of that trivial exploitation of the eternal for the most ephemeral purposes that so abound.
Does no one see the inherent brilliance in each moment, the hidden magic behind every 'simple' act? It is in that glow, behind the mirror, where the true reality hides, and no one seems to want to notice it; no one wants to see beyond their own reflection.
Or so it seemed. Little by little, curiosity, for lack of a better resource and having already discarded the rest of the options, seems to be having an effect on the disoriented masses in search of a direction. And while many have already dared to look and have even been on this side for a long time, there had never been an interest of this magnitude.
God is dead, the poets exclaim, and it must be because of this that the illusory balance that sustained banal existence lost its unstable stability.
For those who know how to listen, the trumpets that announce the coming of a different panorama resonate, where the old values ​​are no longer of any use.
Perhaps the poets are right.
Perhaps it was that old center that sought to give meaning to what has none, that with symbols tried to represent the greatest of abstractions, which retained a species with as much potential as can be imagined.
Will the news that the poets so much announce and that the trumpets keep exposing to the ears of those who are well attached to the greatest of illusions ever arrive? Will those deaf ears want to hear it?
It's just a matter of waiting and dancing, to the rhythm of the moon, while we do so. Thus leaving them, at least, a small trace of what it feels like to dwell behind the almost imperceptible veil that separates us.

Enjoy.
