Sopar - Oct 2023

While venturing into the unknown, a group of musical nomads uncover a strange device. Seemingly broken, they bring it back home. Suddenly, a lost signal surfaces — strange…distant. 

Static. 

“You’ve tapped into a frequency not meant for human ears. This is Transmission… brace yourself for the first broadcast.”

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Transmission 01 is the first installment of Cosmic Motion's podcast series.

Transmission01 : Emu

That strange frequency did not remain a singular occurrence. Between fragments of static and fleeting harmonies, the signal grew stronger. 

Then, through the distortion, a strange yet distinguishable voice mutters:

"Discovering our broadcast, you were no longer listeners. From now you will spread our message."

Surrounded by decks and crates of vinyls his whole life, SLIM J has lived and breathed music from day one. Growing up, it was the vibrant underground scene of Lisbon that ignited his passion, fueling his dedication to the art of DJing. 

Inspired by the raw energy of the city, he honed his craft with unwavering focus, mastering the decks and perfecting the seamless art of mixing.

In the second installment of Transmissions, SLIM J joins us to share his vision of sound.

Marcelo’s obsession with circuits, cybernetics, and chaos shaped his approach to sound—his mind wired to decode patterns where others hear only noise. 

When the musical nomads stumbled upon the strange device, it seemed beyond repair.

But Marcelo thought otherwise. Shutting himself away, the mad Peruvian tore into its core and rewired its circuits.

Previous modifications have unlocked a gate to the device's digital soul. 

Its rewired circuits, once sputtering with analog chaos, now flicker with a cold, algorithmic glow, as if the machine is translating the unknown numerically.

Two mirrored figures take shape within the datastream - human outlines, cascading code. 

Ghosts of the datascape, they manipulate glitch-ridden data and corrupted files and transform them in rhythm.

Emu - Airport Alert

Amidst the hum of the city, drowned in engines and neon, a passerby stumbles upon something strangely familiar.

The alien device — once a conduit of static, chaos, and hidden frequencies — now lies dormant in the everyday, almost ordinary.

Upon touch, the device does not emanate distortion. Instead, it resonates with the quiet force of the human spirit.

Joy, hope, nostalgia - the quiet pillars that have held mankind together - flow through its circuits, amplifying not the unearthly, but the strength of a good heart.

The Transmission adapts… and the city listens. A different broadcast begins - warmer, but no less mysterious.

No one remembered who built the device — or what language it first spoke. 
An individual discovered its broken core. Where others heard silence, he sensed potential.

Rewired and connected to a sound system, the device now powers the late-night gatherings of this one creative citizen, all across the city.

Born in Brussels in early 2024, Cosmic Motion is an electronic music collective that blends international influences with the city’s evolving scene. The collective aims to provide a multidimensional platform for expression, operating across several formats: hosting events, publishing live sets and podcasts, and working towards the launch of an independent record label.

The collective’s party series follows two main directions: on one hand, inviting up-and-coming artists to share the stage with established names from the international scene; on the other, curating events focused entirely on local talent, to give visibility to the city’s own creative voices.

Beyond the dance floor, Cosmic Motion runs a podcast and DJ livestream series, designed to highlight emerging artists from all over, these initiatives are not limited to any geographical boundaries, and it is this same principle that their upcoming label is bound to follow.
