Poseidon by Ebip Serafedino (2022) Serafedino has long been recognized for a painterly language rooted in expressionism, marked by bold color, textured surfaces, and a distinctly Mediterranean vibrancy shaped by his cosmopolitan life. Having studied and worked in cities such as Rome, Florence, Venice, Berlin, and later Paris, Serafedino developed a style that avoids rigid figuration in favor of dynamic, gestural abstraction. His canvases are built upon energy, rhythm, and a tactile dialogue between form and color.

Created in 2022, Poseidon is one of the works in which Serafedino engages directly with mythology, though in his own idiom. The painting invokes the god of the sea not through narrative illustration but through atmosphere and intensity. The composition, dominated by layered textures and assertive strokes, recalls the raw, ungovernable character of the sea itself. Areas of concentrated density meet looser, more fluid gestures, producing a rhythm that can be read as a metaphor for turbulence, depth, and shifting force.

The palette reinforces this elemental presence. Instead of theatrical blues or decorative embellishment, Serafedino works with earthier, more grounded tones echoes of rock, water, shadow, and storm. This approach positions Poseidon not as a decorative mythological tableau but as a symbolic evocation of natural power. Viewers may see the painting less as a portrait of a deity than as a meditation on energy, scale, and permanence.

Serafedino’s broader practice emphasizes the physicality of painting: thick layers of pigment, worked surfaces, and an immediacy of gesture that gives his canvases a sense of both permanence and movement. In this context, Poseidon reflects his interest in reducing subjects to their essence capturing not the story of a god but the sensation of what such a figure represents. Just as his earlier works drew from the Mediterranean landscape and the vitality of color, here he channels the immensity of myth into a visual language of tension, weight, and flux.

Although Poseidon draws on an ancient theme, it is ultimately contemporary in execution. Serafedino avoids literal representation, instead offering a work that can be read as both abstract and symbolic. For some, the canvas may suggest the primal energies of the sea; for others, it may stand as a metaphor for resilience, instability, or humanity’s enduring attempt to translate nature into image. This openness to interpretation is central to Serafedino’s practice.

Through Poseidon, Serafedino demonstrates his continued ability to bridge the timeless with the modern. The painting exemplifies his expressive vocabulary dynamic brushwork, layered surfaces, and a chromatic sensibility shaped by Mediterranean fervor and Parisian refinement while at the same time inviting viewers to confront myth not as a story of the past, but as an active, living presence.

For this edition of MuséeCast, Anna presents a carefully constructed DJ set that reflects both her technical precision and her thoughtful approach to musical selection. Rather than relying on spectacle, the set is defined by its coherence and steady progression, where transitions are handled with restraint and clarity.

Anna moves through her selections with a focus on atmosphere and continuity, creating a soundscape that is balanced rather than dramatic. Each track is placed with consideration, allowing the set to unfold in a way that emphasizes structure and flow over immediate impact. The result is a listening experience that invites attention to detail the textures between tracks, the subtle variations in rhythm, and the understated dialogue between sound and silence.

Hej people,
here is the set that I played at Kater at the wonderful liminal Event on September 26th in 2025. It's hard to play fluffy downtempo these days and because I didnt feel like playing filthy downtempo I dug deep into the fluffy deep house sound of the 2010s. 27 of these 40 tunes are released before 2015, most around 2010/2011. I hope you like this fluffy driving ride <3
if you want to know any IDs, feel free to ask in the comments :)

Welcome back to the Magician On Duty Journey Series!

On this edition we welcome ELIXIR (@schaklelixir)

Recorded live at the Mystic Creatures Festival in Poland on September 7th, 2025, this set captures a magical moment in time—the closing sunrise of an unforgettable festival season. After a stormy Saturday, the skies opened as the first rays of light broke through, blessing ELIXIR’s final festival performance of the year with warmth and radiance. It was a moment of synchronicity—music, nature, and community merging into one.

ELIXIR is more than a name—it’s a potion. A mixture of (E)lisa & Lexy, equal parts intoxicating and enchanting. Their sound blends the allure of dark indie dance with the pulse of nasty melodic house, infused with sultry vocals and drops that hit with undeniable force.

Since coming together five years ago, the duo has honed their alchemy on international stages, from German clubs such as the legendary Kater Blau to renowned festivals including Fusion and Bucht der Träumer*. With roots behind the decks dating back to 2014 and 2018 respectively, ELIXIR continues to brew a sound that is both dangerous and irresistible—poisonous but delicious.

Their Journey Series recording from Mystic Creatures Festival is not just a set—it’s a vessel of memory, energy, and emotion. A gift from one season of magic to the next.

Got any questions? Because Planet Caravan's liveset has the answer to all of them and it's very simple - 42. Welcome to the newest addition of our mixtape series. a 

Mix by: @planetcaravanofficial

Mixtape 42 // Planet Caravan ᴸᴵᵛᴱ

Somewhere between the kick and the delay — at 00:40 hrs, 108 BPM — my DJ-MacBook just froze.

Seven seconds of silence. Total blackout.
The crowd didn’t flinch. 
Someone laughed and shouted, “Ma che Tony!”

Next day I opened the session, found the gap, stitched the groove, dusted it clean.

Now it sounds right — tunes I truly feel.

The beauty of a simple editor cut. 

Enjoy and thanks to the wonderful crowd and - always in my heart - Kauz Zürich and crew!
