APEAK 'Serenity Before The World'

After a hiatus from his solo project Paavo Piekkari returns to Changeless as APEAK with his latest club forward offering ’Serenity Before The World’.

The four track EP explores what it’s like to exist in the world filled with distractions, love, hate, guestlists at various clubs and magick. Metros run at tight intervals in every part of the world, and people desire closeness after every afterparty. Perception of one’s reality can be altered with rituals or small bags of powders. If our goal is wakefulness, do we still fear the dreamless sleep after?

’Serenity Before The World’ opens with ‘Terminus’, a hard-hitting, noisy and colossal intro in the realm of the EP. ‘Terminus’ if followed by a collaboration with the legendary Northern Electronics and Posh Isolation affiliate Varg²™; their track ’Humid Air (上環)’ was born after two days of frenzy in Hong Kong together. The city seemed to breathe in and spit out everything that it inhaled, from the Rolex storefronts to the bright lights of the skyscrapers. While the first tracks of the EP showcase a more familiar sound from APEAK, the ecstatic ‘Dreamless Sleep’ unveils an entirely new, more euphoric side to his sonic palette. The EP’s closing track ’Stillness (TOMEANGLS)’ is an optimistic lullaby, that features guitars from fellow Hollowland band member Jonathan Engeldahl.

look into the blue hole and disappear (2024)

a cursed heart

Based in Bruges, Belgium, dybbuk (@disk-wraith) is a DJ and producer whose sound lies at the crossroads of bass music, ambient atmospheres, and techno mutations. Drawing from the restless experimentation of early 2000s electronic music, his productions weave heavy low-end pressure with crystalline textures, spectral voices, and fragmented rhythms.

His love for old-school sci-fi and video game worlds continues to shape his sonic imagination, where futuristic dread collides with nostalgia. The result is a music that feels both intimate and otherworldly — introspective soundscapes that still carry undeniable club weight.

Following his debut Unruhe on Causal Chain and previous works on Swimming Pool and MONTAGE, dybbuk returns in 2025 with Sunwren, a release that pushes his bass-driven explorations further into the realm of dark, cinematic electronica.

APEAK is a Finnish experimental electronic producer and one half of noise project Hollowland. Working with field recordings, found media, and industrial sounds, APEAK crafts soundscapes and electronic symphonies that excavate memories, faces, and emotions from urban sites. Their work accentuates the delicate and harsh nature of these sounds within context, holding fragility and abrasion in one body. They are a member of Helsinki-based record label Changeless and have previously collaborated with artists such as Exploited Body and Varg2tm. 
For this mix, APEAK draws on textures, grit and emotions, referencing their own work (including unreleased tracks from their forthcoming project) and their inspirations to create a diverse and turbulent soundscape fragmenting into melancholy.
