Last weekend I played for the first time in Friedas Büxe in Zurich. Although the main act - Frida Darko - was absent due to illness, the club was packed. Many thanks to Aramiss and Planet Caravan who played with me. Special thanks to the many dancers and music lovers and the Büxe crew.  Looking forward to coming back at any time. It was a perfect and very emotional experience.

Sisyphos, Berlin | Tunnel [9 July 2022] <psytech> {3h}

Welcome back to the Magician On Duty Journey Series!

On this edition we welcome @maria-theresia-von-eberg

Freiburg based Maria Theresia von Eberg has been on the constant rise for the last couple of years playing numerous festivals and venues in Austria and Germany.

I asked her to describe her journey, and this is what she mentioned:

"Why you ask me? Because emotions have a way of finding their way out a half-Italian soul. 

So, better, moderate them by transforming them into melodic tunes and deep baselines - heavy and melancholic, with driving energy or in lighthearted moments even cheerful, sweet-talking you into taking a break from the everyday-hassle. At least, I hope so"

I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did!

This is a re-recording of Atonom's Closing Set at The Big Pisces Birthday Bash, March 2023 @ Variété..

It might not be the best example for a consistent track choice, but it somehow still became a moody last nautical expedition. 
A combination of tracks I really wanted to play, different sounds of the ocean and the aim to catch the flow and vibe of the people on the dancefloor, to keep the underwater party going while slowly steering the submarine back into the harbour. 

Thank you creatures of the deep sea for joining me on this journey!

"Ariel, listen to me
The human world, it's a mess
Life under the sea
Is better than anything they got up there"

Welcome back to the Magician On Duty Journey Series!

On this edition we welcome Feliks (@hamfel)

Since he was a teenager, Feliks was fascinated with electronic music. He remembers when he saw the movie about Bar25 in 2017, and he always wonders if that place will ever re-open so he can experience it.

To this day he dreams of performing at Kater Blau or Mensch Meier. He feels that he has a lot to offer and he wants his music to make people dance and get lost in the moment. 

He likes bouncy, bumpy, groovy, dark and clapping grooves, all the ingredients that would definitely take you on a journey while you listening to his music!

I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did!

Been a big fan of this collective for a while now as they're the only crew really giving the slower tempos a space in Cape Town and it was a treat to finally get to play some tunes for them!

The Upside Down @ KONG [27 May 2023] <downtempo> {2h}

Having been attending Origin Festival for over a decade, this was a dream booking come true! South Africa's premier psychedelic festival and I had the honour of kicking the Beats Floor off on Saturday morning. It was an early start just after 8am, so I selected tracks to ease everyone into their day: whether they were grooving on the floor, lounging next to the river a couple meters away having their morning swim or chilling in their campsites just over the river, this selection was bound to get them ready for the madness of the day that lay ahead.

The mix features a ton of new releases as well as some throwback classics (both tracks that make regular appearances in my sets and a couple I haven't played for a while). I hope you enjoy listening back to this as much as I had putting it together and playing it. And big thanks for all the love from the dancefloor and those that made it out - was so epic seeing you all moving and having fun out there!

Origin Festival ~ Beats Floor | Opening [27 Jan 2024] <downtempo> {2.5h}

deacon - OE-AA-SIES - Saturday Afternoon @ Afrikaburn 2024

Here's my set recording from the @8doc_music stage at Afrika Burn earlier this year! What a honour it was to be a part of the crew birthing this incredible artwork of a stage and seeing their vision come into reality. I met some of the collection randomly at a small festival outside of Berlin last year, instantly felt like I had been part of their crew for years and had a new home abroad. Only later finding out that they are planning to come do a build at AB this year - and woah did they deliver! So insanely proud of the entire collective and the magic they brought to the Playa this year.

Since the purpose of this stage was to provide an escape from the monotonous styles that seemed to be filling the sound waves of the Playa; an experimental playground to introduce Burners to something new. To align with this, I set the goal of playing a full set under 100bpm and pushing my boundaries a bit. The set was also quite "peak time" starting at 10 and ending at midnight on the Wednesday; so keeping it deep and slow was definitely against the grain. Overall, I am super happy with how this turned out and hopefully I'll have more opportunity to play around these tempo ranges in future!

I have no content from the set (live in the moment as Burn should be). Image was from during the build taken from the now burned Tree of Stories with a major thunderstorm brewing beyond the mountains.

AfrikaBurn '24 ~ 8th Day of Creation [1 May 2024] <downtempo> {2h}

I finally had the opportunity to re-record this mega special set that I played earlier this year at @8doc_music x @lacunacast's event Elemental Dreams on the Fire floor. These two collectives came together to create one of the most magical spaces I've been fortunate to witness - a true wonderland of escape to explore the different elements in. The crew were hard at work, but I switched my plans up to get back to Berlin a few days earlier to help curate this dancefloor and help build the DJ box / fire yoni structure (cover photo from post event - no camera policy :)).

For this set I wanted to try something a little different and really push my boundaries in terms of presenting a fresher sound than what's already been done in the pretty saturated downtempo scene of Berlin. Therefore I pulled on my psytech collection and had fun pitching down tracks for the majority of this set. I was also playing after the maestro @temple-tears for one of his apparent last downtempo sets - a dream slot and so I had to deliver. The result: a slow, deep and primal narrative full of fire and psychedelicness 🔥

8DoC x Lacuna: Elemental Dreams ~ Fire Floor, Berlin [21 Sep 2024] <downtempo/psytech>

Continuing on with the re-recordings, here's my set from Pangea 2023! This has been hands down my most talked about set and the most people asking me if there is a recording. Unfortunately, the recordings went missing so I had to attempt to re-create this crazy morning - something I didn't think possible which is why it's taken so long to get up... But, I decided it's time! This was such an epic set to play - closing the mighty Pangea Canyon on the Friday night, 3-5am, after @delamoonmusic rinsed it for the previous 3h! I set the goal to drop a bpm or two on every track, and so this starts out around 125bpm and ends at 104 - something pretty different and I couldn't believe how well it worked / how much of the crowd stayed till the very end (pretty much all of them - thank you legends for dancing and sharing your energy with me <3). Was also quite full circle playing after Dela as we had met on our travels a couple months earlier and Pangea booked us to play next to each other without realising :)

Beyond the Mountain NYE ~ The Mothership | Opening [31 Dec 2024] <downtempo> {2h}

Here's the recording of my set this last weekend at the incredible Okami Festival near Toulouse in France. I had the privilege of opening up the main stage (Doma) on the Saturday from 11am to 1pm. Since later that day we had artists like Temple Tears and Freedom Fighters I decided to fill this set with a lot of kick and went for a mix of my absolute top tracks from the last couple years mixed in with a few news ones and a couple new psytech bangers pitched down.

Endless thank you to all the dancers that come out early and braved the drizzle - this was a perfect start to a massive day! And to the Okami crew - wow - what a family! It was a real treat to experience this truly underground party in the French countryside - looking forward to being back soon!

Tracklist to be added soon...

Okami Festival, France | Opening [7 June 2025] <downpsytempo>

Deacon - OE-AA-SIES - Tuesday Night @ Afrikaburn 2025

Driven by a passion for discovering music; deacon has built a formidable collection spanning from downtempo through psychedelic techno to a deep progressive all containing a homogeneous groovy energy and impeccable sound design. Currently signed to @techgnosisrecords, he carefully selects tracks to create an eccentric narrative tailored to each event and lineup with one purpose: to introduce new sounds that bridge division and bring connection through sound and movement.

Full bio:
Driven foremost by a passion for discovering new music; Matthew Deacon has built a treasure chest of audible gold and has been sharing these gems with dancefloors for over a decade now.

A varying palate for sound led to the discovery of psychedelic techno in 2017 and prompted a rebrand under his namesake with a more focused sound. Hooked by the layers, depth, vast variety of sounds and intrinsic musical nature the genre presented led to the emergence of the soundscape we know as Deacon.

As time progressed he started discovering more music, artists and labels representing these similar characteristics; at a higher tempo there was deep/dark progressive, a lighter side of Zenonesque, and slowing things down with a reinterpretation of downtempo, akin to pitched down techno. And whilst these can be considered three distinct genres, they all hold a similar energy; with deep basslines, organic elements and impeccable production, and Deacon enjoys navigating between them. Carefully selecting tracks to create an eccentric narrative tailored to the event and lineup with one purpose: to bridge division and bring connection through sound and movement.
