Welcome to theme:cast.

In this monthly mix series, we ask one person to create a mixtape on their selected topic. Together with the mix, we release an individual artwork that visually picks up on the theme.

Our first mixtape comes from Kunu. It embraces the concept of ‚Ups and Downs' through a selection of tracks that swing between energetic and emotional, creating an unpredictable and dynamic experience that reflects the fluid nature of the world around us.

Theme: Ups & Downs
Mix: @kunu_x

After a little summer break, we are back with theme:cast.

In this monthly mix series, we ask one person to create a mixtape on their selected topic. Together with the mix, we release an individual artwork that visually picks up on the theme.

Our third mixtape introduces fjeden member Babsella. Her set is composed of songs made, remixed or sung by women. It's her little tribute to all the powerful women in the music scene. You are an inspiration.

We are back with the next theme:cast and this time it's getting spooky!

In our monthly mix series, we ask one person to create a mixtape on their selected topic. Together with the mix, we release an individual artwork that visually picks up on the theme.

Our fourth mixtape comes from none other than fjeden mama pokka. Fascinated with the cultural theme of the bloodsucking undead, and a visual listener and movie nerd, she has created a mix full of music for (and sounds by) vampires. 

Theme: Children of the Night
Mix: @pokka-hontas

We are happy to present to you the next installation of our theme:cast!

In this monthly mix series, we ask one person to create a mixtape on their selected topic. Together with the mix, we release an individual artwork that visually picks up on the theme.

This time, we invited @khmgnff, who we got to know at kepotopival, where she enchanted our Nest-Floor with an ethereal Ambient-Set. 
For her theme:cast, she chose the topic ‘Around the Dub’, mixing existing tracks with samples to create a varied soundcollage.
So do it like the cat in the picture: sit back, relax and enjoy the journey!

With uncertainty often comes a feeling of uneasiness and discomfort. When we are unable to place something within a binary system, it lets it remain mysterious and incomprehensable in a way. As beings with the apparent need for systemification, this characteristic imposes significant challenges on ourselves. To be able to accept the ambivalence of the world and the uncertainty that comes with it helps to create an inner sanctuary and to find peace. 
I tried to approach this uncertainty through using music and genres I have never DJed with before and through not preparing a fixed tracklist. I tried to embrace all the small imperfections that come with that approach. To delve deeper into the topic I worked together with Camilla Carlsen (Instagram: @camillaxcarla), who drew the artwork for this set live while I recorded the set.

Tracklist:

Blindsmyth - Emotion per Byte (Impérieux Reconstruction)
BRUO - Fajfas
VC-118A - Cloak
Tesla286 - Uranus
Solma - Ritualism (Dissociative Remix)
Other Form - Alien Waltz (Edit)
Kamikaze Space Program - Clickers (Mønic Version)
Nero Bellum - Crimson Milk
Mønic - Cut through The Noise
Forest Swords - Hjope
Yubik - Passing Through
Adrian Roman - Thoughts Against Death
VC-118A - No More Words
