In anticipation of the upcoming third edition of SONIC GARDEN ~ an all-day ambient, downtempo and experimental electronic music event taking place in the lush Old Paradise Yard of London’s IKLECTIK ~ we are thrilled to share a live recording of the enigmatic opening b2b set from the last edition 🐝

Courtesy of Avsluta and Christian Duka ~ the two minds behind SONIC GARDEN ~ it is a perfect mood-setter for the upcoming adventure with Primal Code (Hypnus & Kalahari Oyster Cult) and Luca (E2-E8) happening on Sunday, 26th June 💫

More info and tickets: https://amoenus.co.uk/sonicgarden 🌿

This nearly three hours journey is a slowly blossoming mystical affair of gently oozing ambient textures with scattered spoken word leading into dub-infused downtempo and various flavours of progressive electronica. Best listened to in its full length, this a perfect accompaniment to your psychedelic adventures 🍄

Podcast Series 24 | Avsluta b2b Christian Duka (Live at SONIC GARDEN)

After a little break, the mix series "Music for Theatre Lobbies" returns for the season 22/23. The newest contribution is by Berlin-based composer and sound-designer Grand River. The artist makes experimental electronic music with a cinematic touch. Her work, influenced by minimalism and ambient music, is atmospheric yet rhythmically complex, incorporating a wide range of contemporary compositional and production techniques.

Death and Rebirth | Radio Relativa [06.03.2023]

Is it springtime yet? This month, we reawaken our senses with special guest David Siska from San Francisco. He’s been DJing a long time, and has a phenomenal vinyl collection that expresses his great taste. We’ve all got friends with a wide range of musical knowledge and interests, but Siska always has something to play that you either haven’t heard or haven’t heard in ages that will make your brain light up. Enjoy his selections in the second hour, and follow him on Twitch (@dytiq) to catch him working his magic on the occasional Friday eve.

Lee Purkis / In Sync tribute

ICF’s trajectory, just as a tangent, was predestined to hit Asphalt’s orbit at some point, and as a zen monk would say, there is never a better moment than now. His sonic persona fits like a chain mail glove to the label’s hand and. His dark, uncompromising sounds, and his deejaying style and influences exude a strong techno and industrial blending technique: his mixes are seamless fusion of tracks carefully selected and equalized until the listener reaches tunnel-vision and new realms of consciousness.

Iago has solid artisanal dedication to his craft, always a scholar of the past sounds, a forward thinking attitude, whilst his deejaying ethics are rock solid: he will never play the easy track on the obvious moment, he will not draw upon pyrotechnics. On the contrary, for him the sonic satisfaction needs to be reached through subtlety, through nuance, through a justified decision, a hard path to follow. Bordering on stoicism, the reward needs to be earned alongside the way. Digged out of its hole. Learning the two swords technique is difficult, but always ends up in reward. Like emerging from a long dark tunnel. 

This mix reflects exactly all the above. We asked him. He delivered. And from now on, from the moment the play button is pressed, Drum and bass, IDM, tech-step, autonomic and techno were merged into a single sonic identity, a road, a real continuum, like melted into asphalt. New with old, modern with classic, future with past. His clarity was such he played what has probably been the most inspirational track of Asphalt, and even ended the mix with it. Ni Ten Ichi Ryu’s tangent also had to hit the label’s aura. The prophecy, just as our soul, has been finally fulfilled. The road has been paved with ICF’s concrete like foundations. But be careful… 

We can’t see the angle no more… 

You are in trouble.
