I decided to re-vamp one of my most popular tunes...  I gave it a BIGGER bassline, tighter drums, louder vocals, etc... but I still wanted to keep the funkiness of the original...  I'm very excited to finally re-release it, because the ACAPELLA is on the 12-inch.  It's gonna be SO AWESOME to hear what people mix the acapella with...  hehehehe...

𝑀𝐼𝑁𝐸𝑅𝐴𝐿#3 • 𝐶𝐻𝑅𝐼𝑆𝑇𝐼𝐴𝑁 𝐷𝑈𝐾𝐴

Second release on Marco Shuttle’s MSP solo label. This time it’s a 2 tracker reminiscent of his earlier works (“Sing like a bird“ or even “The Vox Attitude”), so a more 4/4 slower approach than his latest releases. The tracks were inspired by deep/tribal 90's progressive house that he heard playing in clubs in the North of Italy (where the producer is from) in those days.
These are very versatile tracks that would easily fit in both techno and (deep psychedelic) house territory.

Pre-order available from the featured Bandcamp link both for digital and 12" Vinyl on PVC sleeve + Insert (digital download included)

I N L A N D E M P I R E

Christian Duka is a multifaceted music and sound artist who works primarily with spatial audio. He has collaborated with a wide range of artists across various disciplines, from free improvisation to contemporary digital dance to experimental and dance electronic music. Christian Duka is also a versatile DJ moving fluidly between experimental ambient realms and the physical energy of dance music — often blurring the line between the two in experimental ways: left-field bass, smokey dubbed-out jazzy jungle & dnb, psychedelic techno & trance for genre-fluid, bass-heavy, atmospheric, introspective and euphoric journeys.

Notable collaborative projects include the interdisciplinary work "UR: Human Presence" with Jose Macabra, Pell Ensemble, and Elyssavet Sfyri, the spatial drone-bath performance "The Listening Body" with Hems, Merkaba Macabre, and Pascal Savy, a series of live performances in collaboration with free improvisers such as John Butcher, Ute Kanngiesser, Lucie Stepankova, David Toop, Sharon Gal, and Aimee Theriot (4DSOUND), exploring the fusion of free improvisation and live electronics in three-dimensional audio, and the electronic music projects MARMO & Vādin with Marco Maldarella and Avsluta, respectively, with releases on various international record labels (Utter, Offen, Area127, Secuencias Temporales).

Beyond his own artistic projects, he taught electronic music, audio production and sound design at SAE London and Greenwich University and founded Amoenus, a non-profit organization that promotes and supports spatial sound in immersive arts through residency programs, workshops, and public events.
