E.M.C. atmospheres - Christian Duka

Christian Duka serves us a chill soundtrack of visceral soothing moments for Soothers #05.

"My loved one always says (borrowing from Rick & Morty): “you can’t learn anything until you learn how to chill” - and she’s damn right. Chilling is something I am pretty bad at though. You know, living in London and being slightly enslaved by my passions… but still, there is one place I am able to chill: the space in-between spectral voices, dub-infused grooves and weird & wonderful textures of the likes featured in this cocktail of, personally, very emotional tracks. As I listen, the oomphs and throbs flying out of subwoofers transport me right where stress lives - inside my own body. There, whispering words of comfort to my stiff muscles, I finally take a moment to take care of myself. 

I hope this mix will serve as a soundtrack for many other visceral soothing moments like this - a warm bath, incense and candles are highly recommended :)”

Direct To Earth Podcast 002: 9-System b2b wʍwood

We're proud to present you an absolute masterclass of a DJ set from Øbsidian to start off our event in San Francisco on November 17, 2023. The art of delivering an appropriate opening DJ set is something we hold in very high regard, and we've seen few artists nail it as well as Marco did on this night. Cinematic, slow, chuggy.. the journey awaits.

Direct To Earth Podcast 003: Øbsidian at DTE X 6AM in San Francisco

Soothing rhythms from a Giegling mainstay.

NASA defines the signal transmission from space craft to earth as DTE. We attempt to embody this transmission, become the source and reach out to new audiences. ﻿We here at DTE find the music we play and the talent we bring to our events just as exotic as alien planets. We hope to cultivate a positive impact here on earth via sound waves and experimentation in unique environments. We are DJs, producers, party people, ravers, gear heads, professionals, weirdos, dancers, bartenders and brewers who find life all the more amusing when the sound system is loud, the drinks are stiff, and the DJ is actually playing what they imagined they would play.

Here's to techno, Here's to you...
