HOWLONGISNOW #6 - Launaea

Next up in our mix-series is Agonis, a versatile DJ, live-act, and producer hailing from Basel. As a resident at Elysia and co-founder of amenthia recordings, Agonis plays a pivotal role in shaping the distinctive Basel sound – a dynamic fusion of subtle contemporary techno with a psychedelic twist. 

In this mix, Agonis treats us to a captivating journey spanning an hour of futuristic sounds, braindance and broken beats. Delving into a realm of subtle yet entrancing soundscapes, he masterfully builds tension, layering trippy atmospherics over pulsating rhythms. Dive into the one hour which works just as good at home, under the open sky or as in club sceneries.

Ute Mix Series #84 | Agonis

Nestled away in the heart of Osaka, Japan, lies a very special community of artists who nurture the cities unique ambient and experimental sound. It is here that you’ll find Andreas Holderbach, aka Dérive, co-founder/ curator of one of our favourite labels and biggest inspirations, Muzan Editions.

Last year, we had the pleasure of seeing Dérive perform a stunning ambient DJ set in the early hours of the morning at a Muzan Editions x Astral Industries event. Listening to this mix has been a really special way of revisiting that moment <3

The Serpent Dance 

In the meanders of the forest of the soul,
where tribal vibrations echo,
the serpent's path unfurls,
shattering the silence of forgotten realms.

Going down under later this month for first time in 10 years, looking forward to getting out into the jungle once more, so felt like digging up this jungly mix I did a couple of years ago for an unaired radio show. Handful of classics and lots of recent stuff that mixes lush IDM-y synth pads and some soulful samples / vocals, can't mind the full tracklist but look out for Goldie, LTJ Bukem, Underworld, Lee Scratch Perry plus some newer stuff from the likes of Daniel Avery, Placid Angles, Borai, plus Morwell's ace remix of Vök's Autopilot . . .

Divina Mundi: Tales of a dream and an acoustic reconstruction

When I enter the forbidden world, I'm frozen. I don't move, I look around. Everything seems strange to me and everything is completely different from what I am used to. I have no idea what's happening to me right now and I feel scared. This place is bursting with life and the creatures don't look like normal animals, but are much more airy and abstract. Every time I try to look at them, they disappear again, which makes it difficult to make an accurate observation. They make noises, which sound very harmonious and oscillating and have a mystical effect. The atmosphere in this place is completely filled with these benevolent sounds without being perceived as disturbing. I realize that this world is and has always been in perfect balance. In this pre- or post-human reality there is nothing that can disturb this tender and sensitive harmony. This thought is disturbing, because I know that a wrong action on my part would disturb this balance and endanger this utopian system. So I stay calm and observe everything without moving. Every object in this world is in motion and everything seems to revolve around a center point, which is too abstract to be recognized by me as such. Entropy is not present in this world. There is no intrinsic quest for disorder, because everything is perfect.
