Supporting Feral, a master of his craft, here in Byron Bay, was a party rarely seen in this region.

The journey of deep hypnotic techno, like that of Hypnus Records, is not a sound that is hugely celebrated in Australia, apart from the niche of die hard fans.

But people slowly learn and it was epic to witness such a great crowd get down the quality beats.

Enjoy my set in support of this amazing Zanda Records show… more on the pipeworks for this region!

This album traverses slow-paced, pad-laden techno to heavier club-oriented sounds, with a haunting melodic signature threaded through all of them. It is a sonic journal - a window into the inner world of a listener who could no longer remain merely a listener.

Desh - El Pasar del Condor (ST089)

Following https://soundcloud.com/mikkel-rev's debut album on the label in 2023, ‘The Art Of Levitation’, the Norwegian artist returns with Journey Beyond, a selection of tracks demonstrating his innate ability to conjure the most atmospheric trance music, irrespective of BPM.

Journey Beyond was created from an extensive set of tracks sent to the label that were initially sequenced as two shorter EPs. With the first offering a slower 80bpm trance style, and the second EP, a classic ~130bpm trance style. However, over time, with tracks swapping in and out, ASIP had the idea to create a mixed version, progressing through the tracks and increasing bpm's, showcasing Mikkel’s ability in bridging euphoric worlds - and a style that is often reserved for Mikkel’s live performances amongst the forest raves held as part of the Ute Collective in Norway.

Classic trance and the art of a DJ mix have been influential to ASIP since the label’s inception, making this release and the process of creating it a true reflection of how Mikkel and the label come together to define the end output.

Featuring artwork by Ventral Is Golden and mastered by James Bernard.

Apparat live set at L.E.V. Festival 2011. Gijón. Spain.

LEVpodcast - Apparat live (L.E.V. 2011)

Dark Division is the experimental sound project of Alfredo Somma, Fabiano Matrone, and Raffaele Scarpati. Since inception in 2013, the group has taken its shape through a blend of artistic traits in the individual careers as solo artists. Infusing a widely scoped pallet of immersive audio files that usher the listener into a vignette of illusionary installation art, the triad has adapted a system of play tactics blurring boundaries between sonic hallucination and what is surrealism. By unison of both analog machines and software, morphing sound of pristine weightless tones vanishing into prisms of drone and ambient low techno, harmony is created that is unique to the members variance. And after three years of careful crafting, “An Optimal Configurations Daily EP” comes to us emerging as the very first release from Dark Division’s own Hidden Tapes catalogue. 

Currently residing in Italy, the group has built experience along three very independent journeys.  For Alfredo Somma born 1978 in Acireale, CT, rhythmic practice began early on drums. At age thirteen owning his first console, he became attached to the likings of analog machinery and was steady in search for creative aperture. Fortunately for Somma his iron-will pushed forward the need to appease his sensation for music, forcing a decision to move from the picturesque landscapes of Ischia to a more established scene that would support his passions. 

Much like his partner, Fabiano Matrone (b. 1988) had the impulse to relocate to London, England. Born in Pompei the journey for Matrone began when he found a broken down long-forgotten turntable at the bottom of a closet in his parents home. An obsession to take apart and repair the instrument sparked what would become his undying interest for mixing records and collecting rare vinyl; two qualities that have become crucial in the formation of Dark Division’s sound overall.  While each member lends his contribution distinctively, the group shares one very submerged commonality: an incendiary desire for vinyl and collecting it.   

As the timeless nature of quality advances a stand-out feature in the Dark Division esthetic, for Raffaele Scarpati acquisition into art mirrors the classic work of his predecessors. Born 1982 in Scafati, Salerno over the fertile landscapes of Campania, his desire to “go deep” began with interest in several facets of visual arts; painting, sculpting, ceramics, furniture design, graphics. The premise to create lofty installations from inner sensitivity working outwards, continues to transcend as the central paradigm in the creation of his music. Today operating out of Milan, music continues to be the art form most fundamental to his endeavors. Endless hours of hardware machinery recordings from his home studio and an unwavering loyalty for analog vinyl is something that Scarpati pays tribute to in the growth and fruition of his maturity.

Members of Dark Division share the principle to explore unknown, eclectic files through sonic experimentation, devoting time to continuous research for creation and development of new sounds and the avant-garde.

Genocide, June 2025:
Israel is only the executioner, every nation which has armed that country in the past year is an accessory to that genocide, an accomplice, a facilitator.  We cannot talk about war crimes because when you target unarmed civilians, mostly women and children, we are talking about a massacre, like terrorists do, not a war. The people who orchestrated that massacre, in the US, the most duplicitous, followed by those of the UK, Germany, France, and probably a few lesser ones should be tried for crimes against humanity just as well as Netanyahu and his cabinet, because it has been going on for two years, generously reported by media of all kinds, so the enablers knew exactly how the arms were to be used, as a tool for revenge, domination, and humiliation of the Palestinian people.  The conflict has ceased to be about the defense of anything for months.

The parties responsible have made a mockery of decency, morals, fairness, proportion, or justice, not to mention empathy.  Of what little there was, these concepts will be a lot longer to come back than they were to be struck down.  

Is it 1984 already?!?!

I have not been able to recover access to my other account [https://soundcloud.com/ha-kekong] for a couple of years.  I have tried a few times to get back into it but SoundCloud doesn't trust me.  Same phone number, same email addresses, and they still claim that they can't verify my identity.  I created that account about three years ago as a substitute to my regular account which SoundCloud temporarily closed.  They closed it as part of some upgrade procedure in their system, the result of a bug that affected many accounts, about two years ago.  Since SC did not inform its users I didn't know if that was permanent or not, so I created that other account which I can't access.  Don't be mad if I have not replied to your message in the past two years, that's because I never got them ; ) ... You can always reach me here though.
...

This one here (957729823) is for regular folks.

I love you, both.

...

You can't see it because of the angle with which I took the shot, aiming down, but beyond those blocks is the sea.  To the left is the Mediterranean, to the right is the Atlantic Ocean.  No it's not Gibraltar, but a little bit further West. ... Actually I checked recently and it is further North more than West, I thought I was facing South when in fact I probably was facing the Atlantic ocean, which is why I suppose the waves were of a decent size where we were.

I then went ahead and butchered his work with a borrowed helmet.
... Sorry Joe. =(

I'm trying to promote what I think is good music, so if you want to help out a bit I'd rather you [like] or [repost] my *playlists* rather than my field recordings, if you don't mind, unless you are a die hard fan of those things. Thank you ; )

I speak French, so if you send me a private message, and that you are a francophone, please write in French, thank you.  ... I mean, you don't absolutely have to, but I would prefer it. 

All my field recordings (except for when I record a person) are public, freely downloadable by anyone who is able to click on the button.  I encourage anyone interested to use them in any way whatsoever, on purpose or accidentally. No need for permissions or credits or any other kind  of administrative maneuvers.
...

Anarchists give me hope.

I'm a big fan of EFF.  Love ya EFF.  (no connection with the above line)
... and of course Richard Stallman and Linux and all the others.  Bless yous.

Now don't be lazy, go find out what it is this "EFF" that I'm talking about.  I'll give you a hint: it has to do with computers.

You have a nice day now.  Hugs & Kisses.
