Akf Podcast 005 - Apsāya aka “AP_Sick" -  Echoes of the Five Elements

Enter the forest
A journey through a living forest, where memory lingers in every breath
Sounds evolve from ambient stillness to a raw, tribal pulse — a forgotten ritual rising from the earth
Drift beyond the five ancestral elements — wood, fire, earth, metal, and water — into the space where memory and rhythm become one 

Apsāya aka “AP_Sick" is a resolutely mysterious and modern DJ, oscillating between powerful, enigmatic tribal techno and dark, voluptuous ambient sets.
A true sonic storyteller, AP_Sick leads us into a deep, visceral ritual where intensity, sensuality, and contradiction are ever-present in her creations.

Minor Noise - Shape Transition

After a time of rest, we're still here. A new ritual to close your eyes and let the sound of the forest care for you at night.

Jarguna & Tim Norton - Rooting Rites | रूटिंग संस्कार

Spanning multiple decades, the friendship between Markus Guentner and Joachim Spieth started with contributions to Kompakt’s Pop Ambient series in 2001. At the time, neither could anticipate how the future or their respective artistic paths would unfold. Over the years, both have been a guiding presence throughout their careers as they delve farther and farther into ambient and beyond. Striving for only the utmost quality in productions and expression of self.

Coalescing in 2023, the pair combined their musical talents for their first album together titled, ‘Overlay’ released on Spieth’s label, Affin. Deep, rhythmic, and bathed in texture, it marked the next musical evolution and a harbinger of what is to come.

Enter ‘Conversion’. The seven tracker builds upon themes established in ‘Overlay’, a melding of layered textures and encompassing percussion, giving a sense of weight, heavy with emotion. Our premiere for today, Vortex smoothly enters the mind, with comforting pads, and a subtle uplifting notion. The warmth from the drone-like melodies is echoed into the steady muted kicks that provide an energetic boost to the track.

Vortex, and in turn ‘Conversion’ will be released on October 3rd via Affin.

PREMIERE: Guentner Spieth - Vortex [AFFIN]

Always a pleasure to support our good friends over at @secuencias_temporales, this time with a new artist from a familiar background. 

Melbourne-based producer Adam McCoy, formerly known as Citizen Maze, debuts his new alias Backwards Cavern.

The project began taking shape in 2020 during the COVID lockdowns, a period where isolation and lifestyle changes sparked a new musical direction and a desire to work on more glitchy and open-ended experimentation. Backwards Cavern represents a step beyond the constraints Adam felt about Citizen Maze, while still carrying forward familiar elements such as sweeping pads, field recordings, and distinctive progressions.

Fractured Chapel is a collection of works written between 2020 and 2024, capturing the gradual shift from Citizen Maze to his new project, Backwards Cavern. Some tracks were first created with Citizen Maze in mind but were later transformed to reflect a different sound and direction.

Each piece draws inspiration from specific environments from urban spaces, coastal settings to mountainous landscapes, using place and atmosphere to shape mood and tone. Musically, the album pulls from IDM, cinematic and tribal textures, and subtle drum and bass influences, reflecting a balance between experimentation and evolution.

Written and Produced by Adam McCoy in Melbourne, Australia.
