I would like to pay tribute to Erdi Irmak, a DJ and producer born in Istanbul, a city that bridges the gap between Asia and Europe with the majestic Bosphorus River.

Erdi Irmak's diverse musical style, influenced by different cultures and sounds, has propelled him to the top of the music industry in a remarkably short period of time.

Growing up in Turkey, he was deeply influenced by the local music, which he fused with "chilled out west and far east sounds" to create a unique musical style that has gained him acclaim across various labels and genres. He is particularly adept at producing deep, organic, and downtempo music, and his exploration of electronica has further revealed his remarkable talent.

I invite you to experience the captivating sound of Erdi Irmak and share your thoughts in the comments below.

Changed it up a little this month and went with some Liquid DnB.  I find this genre fascinating as it is both upbeat and chill at the same time.  It all depends on what sounds you are focusing on.  Even Rekordbox can't decide if BPM is 87 or 174.  Here is a mix of the tunes I've been diging these past few months.  Hope you enjoy.

This is not one of my productions. It's a track by a producer who uses the same name as me.

We are all interconnected beings part of a higher fabric of existence: one unified body of energy, here to experience, explore, and uncover our true nature beyond the limits of the ego and superficial identity. The concept that we are separate from one another may be one of the greatest illusions of all.. and only once this sense of Self dissolves will the illusory veil be lifted, allowing us to transcend our identification with form and experience everything as part of a greater whole, with love as the fluid in which the diverse facets of the Self are floating.

Rather than focusing on harmonic structure, I created this mix from a very intuitive heart space, only now realizing how much it symbolizes a chapter from my internal world. From the light and airy melodies to the moody and activated textures, this soundscape really emulates the transformation I’ve been navigating on an emotional and spiritual level. I feel that this journey truly highlights that rawness within the human experience, revealing the fluctuations in emotions that we all move through— from happiness and peace to grief and sadness, from constriction and uncertainty to freedom and clarity— that innate pull between yin and yang woven into every being.

It's powerful just how deeply music can carry us, and with music having played such a significant role in my life for so long, I feel overwhelmed with emotion to share this part of my story with you, and to launch this special project in collaboration with döb (@dobmusique). Like everything in life, some genres have had their season, but the world of ambient, medicine, and down-tempo have grown roots in my soul and opened a gateway for my heart and mind to expand. Some of you may know me for the playlists I curate, but now I finally have the space to bring these experiences to life here with Glass Garden, a beautiful and unexpected project that was born in the most organic way.

Thank you Vince, and to all the listeners and creators who will participate in this special project.

Here in episode 003, I invite you to embark on a deep ambient journey– where celestial soundscapes weave through the cosmic expanse, echoing the mysteries of the universe. This set invites you to explore the boundless vastness of space while guiding you inward to discover what’s hidden within. Each delicate note pulses like the heartbeat of a molecule, pulling you closer to the core of your inner world. A voyage through galaxies and into the smallest fragments of yourself, where the universe’s infinite vastness meets the depths of your soul.

- The Goldcast 138 - 

The 2nd volume in the introspective Transcendence series. I hope you enjoy

The Goldcast 138 (Aug 15, 2025) Transcendence Vol. 2

Hard to believe it has been four years since the birth of Shika Shika with the release of Barrio Lindo’s Kayak Break EP. Four years of being able to release music we love, artists that inspire us and the power of borderless, cultural cross-pollination.

Yet we have reached a crucial crossroads where it is time for the collective to evolve and grow. We want to embrace a vision that tries to find the sweet spot between music & activism, be it cultural and social empowerment or environmental awareness.

Cosmofania (inspired by Cosmogony - the study of the beginning of the universe) embraces this new beginning but also new artists and new sounds for ys. A deep, exciting anf refreshing new beginning!

With this compilation we are presenting a selection of new names we’d never heard of until our open call, old friends we somehow haven’t already worked with and amazing established names. It is a selection of beautiful, music by 13 talented musicians and producers from all over the world - Canada to Indonesia, Egypt to Argentina. They are tied together by an approach to electronic folk music, rich organic soundscapes and a sonic freshness
