Descend into the immovable silence of Liturgia Atra, the eighth ritual cycle of the Arkanæa saga. Here, in the cold echo of stone and void, the divine watches without whispering—no warmth, no seduction, only the gravity of ancient liturgy.

Deep, distant Gregorian fragments drift through bowed-stone drones and pipe-organ undercurrents. Metallic scrapes and bone percussion punctuate rusted bells and gongs, while reversed vocal loops and breathless Coptic murmurs swirl like wind in a crypt. Cold analog synths and subterranean thunder recordings ground you in monolithic austerity.

This is a fossilized hymn—an archaic, post-sacramental relic where every tone uncovers what should have stayed buried.

✦ Gregorian Dark Ambient & Cold Ritual Drone
✦ Pipe Organ, Bowed Stone & Bone Percussion
✦ Rusted Bells, Gongs & Subterranean Wind
✦ Reversed Latin & Coptic Vocal Textures
✦ Tape Decay Chants & Monastic Field Recordings
✦ Enigmatic, Minimal & Monumental Atmosphere

Presented by Arkanæa: witness the sacred shadow.

Tony y Not’s rousing blends of House Music are as razor-sharp as her. She bounces between clean and upbeat rhythms to funky build-ups to dark synth disco. A DJ, producer and cosmic event planner, she whips up unapologetic musical cocktails geared to make you move – listen for yourself: Her latest EP ‘Imperfection’ on the Hamburg-based label tächno is quite intense.

With sonic influences taking off from her native Germany and evolving to the tune of her travels, Tony y Not fuses together a truly unique blend of tones. Her style dynamically embraces European dance music and multi-genre grooves inspired by her years in Brooklyn. Her passion for connecting with dance floors and love of intimate immersive spaces led to her co-founding of Front Left and involvement with BAE collective. Sprinkling NYC nightlife with effervescent evenings and providing a platform for female-identifying artists to craft spaces for all, it didn’t take long for Tony y Not to make a name for herself.

From parties and venues like Cityfox and Watergate to experiences like Burning Man, Tony y Not uses music as a tool to communicate what words cannot, empowering crowds to smile, look forward, and not take themselves too seriously. As she continues to build international momentum and rip through beats with spunk and positivity, keep in mind she could be coming for you next.

Halal Twenty-Two By Joseph Ashworth

Traversing scenes, tempos and vibes with flawless mixing and blending, Kasper takes us on a colourful ride through the various stages of a club night. Setting off at a mellow-paced 100 bpm, before ramping it up and reaching a steady 128 at the finish line, he manages to seamlessly connect a beautifully compelling myriad of sounds in this 85-minute mix transmission. With a fresh double EP release under his belt, we connect with the Copenhagen native to hear the latest on developments as well.

Playground Podcast #036: Theus Mago

Happy to have Phred Noir on the Play Pal Series with a very personal two hour mix he's recorded for the occasion.

He's been behind one of the finest labels we know, La Dame Noir Records, for the last 10 years, being co-founder of it alongside Relatif Yann, and also of La Dame Noir Bar & Club.

They've counted with many great artists through out these years, both on the label and at the club, where he's had the opportunity of sharing decks with Maceo Plex, Pachanga Boys, Chloé, Andrew Weatherall, Ivan Smagghe or Michael Mayer just to name a few.

He's been playing for more than two decades and as he defines it himself, from Balearic Disco to Slow Techno via Dark Disco, from the seaside to the latest dance floor, between 100 & 120 bpm, being 110 where he enjoys the most.

As a producer, he's teamed up with Amevicious under the alias 'La Dame Noir' releasing music on Meant, Factor City or Blindetonation and also with Remain from Meant Rec. under the aka 'Slow Porn' with releases on My Favourite Robot and La Dame Noir.

Enjoy the mix!

Play Pal Mix 040: Phred Noir (La Dame Noir / FR)

Artists: Fred und Luna (@fredundluna)
Track Title: In die weite Welt hinaus
Release Title: Im Weltenraum
Label: Compost Records (@compost)
Catalogue No.: CPT570-1
Release-Date: 17.07.2020

„Fred und Luna is a miraculous treasure chest with seemingly unlimited realms of Krautelektro and Elektrokraut music.“ FRANK WIEDEMANN ( ME/INNERVISIONS)

„Fred und Luna’s universe is full of wonderful possibilities and greets you like an old friend whistling a long forgotten melody.“ PATRICK PULSINGER

„Wunderbar!“ JD TWITCH (OPTIMO)

Space music of an outstanding and extraordinary kind: just as you would expect when two mannequins leave their boutique in Karlsruhe/Germany in their mind’s eye to go and see places where they haven’t been before. “Im Weltenraum”, how they call their new album, is Fred und Luna’s next step in their ever-changing series of “Elektrokraut/Krautelektro” music. A charming and fascinating voyage through an endless universe of phantasmagorial soundscapes, repetitive rhythms, catchy melodies and even a side trip to Acid House Land.

After their “Glück auf” on Optimo Music, where they started with a journey through motorik Krautland, followed by a trip to a both atmospheric and boppy soundgarden on their album “Im Klanggarten” (Bigamo), an intoxicating journey into deep blue areas on “Im Tiefenrausch” (Compost Records) and tribal dancefloor spots on “Im Tanzrausch” (Compost), “Fred und Luna” are now on the traces of spaces, unknown worlds and unknown time zones,

O LUX VAI AO MAAT: Switchdance x Yen Sung

art:cast special | Juan MacLean

He enjoys the freedom of having the time to focus on his music – these days he even has more than last year and last year was already a strong one in Juan MacLean's career in terms of producing music, which – unfortunately – is or was released on labels like Correspondant, Aus Music or Riotvan just when the pandemic hit and brought societies down to its knees. This, however, does not hold the New Yorker back from having, according to him, the most productive time and (re)discovering and concentrating on certain preferences in music, that he processed in his art:cast. Above Juan, how close friend's call John, talks about a possible future of club culture, New York landlords, the benefits of live-streams, the perfect banana bread as well as of how he spends his days and what routines he's developed over the past couple of months – in an honest and straight forward manner, just as he seems as a person, just as his music is.
