DJ firebrand Takaaki Itoh has come a long way since his early days of Detroit-influenced techno and parties in northern Japan. Without compromising anything in the way of quality his appeal has grown exponentially. Like a musical surgeon, his approach relies less on sweeping gestures and more on small millimetric cuts and tweaks that slowly ramp up the mood and leave the listener with sound that is at turns growling, mystical and amorphous. Bassiani Podcast 105 is a monolithic, trance-inducing opus from the land of the rising sun.

We are happy to share our 48th Parabel podcast with Petter B, with the mind set of making an opening- or morning hours. 

Artist´s own words about this contribution:
"To me it has always been about the loop. How a rhythmic pattern can evolve without actually changing and the hypnotic aspect to that. Also the way textures and ambiences can put me in a certain mood instantly. This mix is my way of putting those two together in something I would either play as an opening set at a club, or at an after hours where the energy has peaked and people are after something warmer and more intimate."

Recorded with four decks n fx and a cat called Minimoog.

For bookings please email Linda@parabelmusic.se

With this new EP we want to involve the listener in a journey into the mysteries of ancient Egypt. The civilization of ancient Egypt was developed along the Nile Valley from the floodgates, to the south and to the border with the present Sudan, to the mouth, to the delta, to the Mediterranean Sea, for a total area of ​​about 1000 km. Although the territory was much larger, including much of the Libyan-Nubian Desert, human settlements, since the earliest times, developed only in the narrow green belt close to the banks of the wide river, in some places even only a few hundred meters. These lands are rich in charm and mystery and with our music we want to retrace them mentally, without real borders.

Art Bei Ton Podcast 014: Aleja Sanchez

** Podcast #111 - A Sacred Geometry **

As we gradually transition between the spring equinox and summer solstice, we couldn’t think of a more perfect mix to represent the transformation and our earth’s energies being at their strongest and most active. Podcast 111 (a number also symbolising awakening, enlightenment, high energy and inspiration) comes to you from A Sacred Geometry who, through his music, “creates a nostalgic ambient reality redolent of space and texture” - a source of much of our inspiration over recent years.

Listening to this beauty is like an invigorating breath of fresh air, re-rooting you to the earth, and re-connecting you with Mother Nature's innate beauty and magnificence, while reminding us that in essence, we are in fact one and the same with her.

For us, this mix is what the earth sounds like - sun rise and sun set, and the serenity, hope, sense of newness, and letting go, that come with both.

A Sacred Geometry manages to convey these feelings not only through his mixes, but his productions too. In fact, Sædís (2016) was a pivotal moment in our musical journey for this very reason, the effect being exactly the same sense of connection to something so much bigger than us, and it was from that moment on that we’ve followed his journey and taken inspiration and comfort from his creative outputs.

Another stunner to the On the 5th Day podcast library.

Thank you A Sacred Geometry <3

NODE Podcast Chapter #002 | Aleja Sanchez

Madrid-Berlin based, Psyk (Manuel Anós), is a solid staple of the current techno scene and doesn't seem to have gone off course since his precocious artistic ascension. 

His sets in the best clubs all over the world (Fabric, Berghain, Fuse, DeSchool, Concrete…) have helped crystallize his DJ talents making him one of the most requested DJs on the circuit and an influent figure in a whole generation. 
Psyk's singularity and maturity are constantly present in his music. The versatility who characterizes his sets are also shown in his productions, from "Arcade" or "Eclipse"´s entraining feverish techno, his remix for Planetary Assault System´s track Twelve to darker and deeper cuts like Lowdown for Tresor or his Fall From Grace for Semantica. 

In 2014 his widely acclaimed debut album "Time Foundation" is released on Luke Slater’s Mote Evolver imprint and in 2016 he releases the first record ever on the label of the mighty FUSE in Belgium. 
In 2019 he released his second album "A Moment Before" on Tresor records and also one of the most played EPs of the same year "Natural Causes" this time in collaboration with the Spanish producer Reeko.

Furthermore Manuel is regularly mentioned by the likes of Oscar Mulero and Robert Hood as one of the most interesting producers in recent years.

Like a conscientious artisan, Psyk approaches his compositions with care, adding somber power and energy through subtle touches, a process which has made him the subject of constant praise from illustrious artistic figures, be it through his offerings under the patronage of emblematic figures like Luke Slater, Len Faki, DVS1, Ben Sims stronghold labels Semantica and Tresor or even through his own label Non Series under his Maan alter-ego. Since its inception in 2011, Non Series has released collaborations by strings of prominent artists, from Silent Servant to Architectural, Chevel, Blawan, Luigi Tozzi, Function and Tadeo and has established itself as a reference in the Techno scene.

By developing, refining and purifying his sets, Psyk is focusing all his efforts on the concretization of the ideas that agitate his mind.

As a music platform, we feel like it’s our duty to both discover and maintain all corners of the techno spectrum within our values. This time SALON hosts a renowned duo that continuously develops and innovates their sound and vision. 

Abstract Division provided us with a strong set that reaches from deeper atmospheres to aggressive club sounds. The set is an energetic experience that takes us back to the dance floor.

Abstract Division is a duo formed by Paul Boex and Dave Miller. They have numerous releases on labels like FIGURE, Semantica, and of course their own label, Dynamic Reflection. The releases on Dynamic Reflection are mainly dancefloor-oriented, but still very fresh and renewing. Every release embodies the artists' own character, but at the same time, it fits into the overarching image that Dynamic Reflection stands for. On top of that they recently set up a new merchandise line and the duo will release a new EP in the near future. Also, Dave recently ‘revived’ the label Audiosculpture with his co-founders.

If this all isn’t enough, the duo also has their own club concept called DECODE. With this concept, they organize label nights in which they also manage to incorporate upcoming artists. A perfect match for the straight-up Techno enthusiast.

For now though, please enjoy the set as much as we do!
