Mystery Dance | Balamii Radio

London-based collector and photographer Alex Yiaxis known as Fantasty in Orbit has put together a mix which celebrates radiant diversity, what Martinician theorist Edouard Glissant calls a “poetics of relation.” The mix dissolves  boundaries, moving across time, space, and place, assembling a meaningful missive for peace.

Séance Centre Radio Episode 67 w/ Fantasy in Orbit

“Space Is The Place”, an Afrofuturistic motto that has helped shape the imagination of many generations of music aficionados, from its seminal iteration in the cosmic experimentations of Jazz up to its reinforcement in the early and most outlandish eras of Hip Hop until its sophisticated revival in the boldest rhythmic formations found in Electronic Music’s formative years. More than an escapist invitation to explore what lies above and beyond our earthly existence, it is a call to transcend our corporeal restrictions, both physical and mental. And here, the “where” is not as important as the “how”, the elements through which we achieve movement matter more than the location towards which they take us, since any musical journey is one of expansions and doesn’t imply destinations. These principles and their implications are instrumental to understand the sound intentions of a sonic explorer such as Fantasy in Orbit, our guest guide for this episode. Imbued with both a taste deeply rooted in Techno’s most intricate harmonies and a vision firmly set in its most dashing possibilities, our selector takes us on a journey of discovery into the genre’s forward-looking past, so we can envision its hopeful future while enjoying its complex present.

NTS 'Doing Time' w/ Fantasy In Orbit & Asger Behncke

Hazy summer night session for no. 71 here, recorded in London in the middle of July and featuring a lot of records and tapes brought back from a recent Japan trip by Alex Yiaxis aka Fantasy In Orbit. Alex is a heavy collector and an all round knowledgeable advocate of the good stuff. We guested on his Balamii show years ago and have been tipped off to multiple records by him since. One for a lazy bike ride, the portable JBL in the park or melted on the sofa. Heatwave material!

Forecast 071: Fantasy In Orbit

rolling thru to ’25 with a mix from fantasy in orbit. 

glad to mark the start of a new rotation via this recording from alex. spanning downtempo, techno, folk, aor, it’s an unhurried, deep, and cathartic listen for these cold light days.

reaching out into the eighth year of this endeavour, thanks and love for sticking with it.

Monday morning Mixtape 236 - January  2019

"I wanted to put a mix together that would sound great in the early hours of Monday morning and would also represent my deep-rooted love of world music and leftfield electronica. 

I recorded the mix using vinyl only on 2 x 1210’s and a mixer; keeping the tracks sparsely separated from one another linking them with snippets of experimental exotica. I must confess it contains some of my favourite Jazz, Brazilian, Middle-Eastern, Lo-Fi / Modal Space Rock, Library and downtempo electronic records of the moment.”

Fantasy In Orbit | Stamp The Wax Monday Morning Mixtape 236 | Jan 19

For this months Mystery Dance @fantasyinorbit is joined by respected Rio De Janeiro based digger Craig Ouar for two hours of warm and dubbed out left field disco.

Mystery Dance w/ Fantasy In Orbit & Craig Ouar - May 2020

Mystery Dance this month was a 2 hour children’s music special, curated by Vincent Privat of Diznord Records, made only with tracks made by children and teenagers.

Mystery Dance / Vincent Privat - June 2020

This mix is a collection of records both old and new that hopefully provides a soundtrack to our current 'head-in-the-clouds' state of mind. Meditative in places and unsettling in others, the intention was to create a-lost-in-thought listening experience. The artwork on the second slide is by German 70s photographer couple Barbara & Michael Leisgen & is a poignant symbol of solitude yet one of optimism which I hope translates in the music.
