Santiago El Grande by Salvador Dalí (1957) is a masterful oil-on-canvas that stands as a resounding emblem of his “nuclear mysticism” phase. The composition features Saint James the Great, the patron saint of Spain, rearing triumphantly from the sea atop a white stallion, gripping an oversized crucifix an image both heroic and mystical. From a four-petalled jasmine flower a symbol of purity and one of Dalí’s personal favorites an atomic explosion erupts, propelling the supernatural tableau skyward, merging religious reverence with scientific wonder. Framing this ascension is a ribbed, cathedral-vault-like tracery that fans out in a celestial canopy, referencing Gothic pilgrimage architecture and specifically alluding to the Camino de Santiago and the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela. The saint’s harness is adorned with scallop shells a nod to the pilgrimage tradition while the prominent bare foot, modeled on Dalí’s own, symbolizes the common pilgrim, Everyman, on a spiritual journey. Gazing contemplatively from the lower right is a small, veiled figure possibly the Virgin Mary or the artist’s muse, Gala adding a quiet, human presence to the dramatic scene. Further complexity emerges in the partial transparency of some figures, the foreshortened forms that enhance three dimensionality, and subtle details like angels embedded within the horse’s anatomy. Originally intended for the Spanish pavilion at the 1958 Brussels World’s Fair (and perhaps as an altarpiece for the Escorial), the painting was ultimately acquired by Lady Dunn and donated to the Beaverbrook Art Gallery in Fredericton, New Brunswick. Its inaugural public exhibition took place in New York in 1958 at M. Knoedler & Co., and it later featured in the “Salvador Dalí: The Late Work” exhibition at Atlanta's High Museum of Art in 2010–11.

This rich fusion of devotional imagery, geometric form, personal symbolism, and atomic-age sensibility cements Santiago El Grande as one of Dalí’s most profound and visually arresting statements where the sacred, the scientific, and the surreal all converge in a dramatic, transcendent vision.

I’m excited to share something special on MuséeCast an extended 4-hour set from Dust Ritual, the creator of the podcast. Known for building long, evolving journeys through sound, this set dives deeper than ever, unfolding layer by layer with shifting moods, subtle textures, and moments that draw you in and hold you there. Over the course of four hours, I let the music breathe and expand, creating space for both quiet reflection and powerful release. For me, it’s more than just a set it’s a narrative in sound, a reminder of why I started MuséeCast in the first place: to explore music not as background, but as an experience, something lived and shared. Some journeys are meant to be walked alone, others in silence, but this one carries echoes of a companion who’s been with me all along. Happy Friday :)

What a privilege to play the good morning set for an important day on which two amazing people celebrating their love and the love for their friends on this beautiful weekend.

My goal was to ease everyone gently into what would become an incredible day. Started with those soft, mellow tracks to let people wake up naturally, then gradually built the energy to properly get those sleepy spirits moving.
The setting was super cute - right there poolside, watching people literally jump in the water to wake up and find their groove. There’s something special about being part of that transition from peaceful morning vibes to full celebration mode.

This set captures that whole journey - from those gentle wake-up moments to everyone coming alive and ready to celebrate.

Maybe this helps you as well to start your day ;)

chameleon #80 comes from junoia, captured in a three-hour live recording from Mit Dir Festival. The set carries a dubby, analog feel; raw around the edges yet deeply rooted in its flow. It moves like a steady current, drawing you in and holding you there. An unpolished and honest snapshot of a moment, shaped by the energy of the festival and the openness of the audience.

Ali Alo — Inspired By Series 🇩🇪

For this new chapter of the Inspired By series, we travel into the immersive sound world of @eckert-philipp, better known as ECKRT.

Philipp’s music feels like a dialogue between earth and sky — deep grooves rooted in the ground, while melodies drift high like fragments of dreams. His sets are journeys woven with textures and emotions, designed to move the body while gently stirring the soul.

With a refined sensibility, he captures atmospheres that are both timeless and intimate, guiding us through waves of energy where hypnotic rhythms meet delicate details. This mix is a mirror of his passion for storytelling through sound, an invitation to close your eyes and let the music speak.

So take a deep breath, press play, and let yourself be carried away.

To get to know him a little better, here’s a glimpse into his musical story …

✘ So tell me what was your first track you fell in love with during your childhood?
Dave Seaman & One Million Toys - Everything Comes In Threes (D-Nox & Beckers Remix) was one of the formative gems from 2014-2019.

✘ ... and the last track you digged?
Derun - Nea Moni (Lanka Remix) pitched down to 90 BPM!

✘ Maybe could you tell us how did you get into the music cooking pot?
I was always fascinated by the possibility of creating your own way of music, inspired by friends like Innellea or Yubik in 2013. Mixing sound is highly addictive and I love it!

Con amor …

Welcome back to the Magician On Duty Journey Series!

On this edition we welcome @wilsonsolidarity

Wilson.solidarity joins the Magician On Duty Journey Series with an intimate new episode

Magician On Duty is proud to present the latest chapter in its acclaimed Journey Series — a deeply emotional and culturally rich set by wilson.solidarity, the German DJ and producer with Bengali roots, and a key member of Berlin’s Rebellion der Träumer collective.

Known for his unique blend of melodic and oriental techno, Wilson.solidarity crafts a sound that bridges continents and emotions — music that moves forward while keeping one foot anchored in his Indian heritage. His sets carry a distinct narrative quality, weaving rhythm and melody into stories of identity, connection, and transformation.

This special Journey Series episode, Wilson describes, is “about love — being abandoned, and eventually finding something beautiful and new again.” The set unfolds like a diary of the last few years of his life, featuring both German and English love tracks that channel personal emotion through musical storytelling. It’s an introspective voyage that captures both heartbreak and renewal, all underpinned by the warmth of his signature mid-tempo groove.

A familiar presence across the European underground circuit, Wilson.solidarity has performed at festivals and venues such as Wonderland Festival, SKALAR Festival, Hoppocalypse at Renate (Berlin), and Aktion gegen Rassismus — as well as appearances across Sri Lanka and Indonesia, reflecting his truly global artistic spirit.

With this Journey Series episode, Wilson.solidarity invites listeners to travel through the many shades of love — from loss to rediscovery — through the universal language of sound.

I hope you enjoy this as much as I did!

Special thanks to @bisu-andyou for the wonderful mastering!

there’s a moment when the body stops thinking 
and melts into freeflow
when sound and motion merge 
and everything becomes breath
this is a multi-genre exploration of rhythm
music for fire spinning, dance, flowarts
feeling the frequencies in your body
drifting through trippy atmospheres
organic basslines, ritual pulse
it invites you to soften into the present
to listen with your skin
and let the body lead

dancing becomes prayer
a way of freeing the self

of remembering the body as spirit
and spirit as motion
