During this Summer's sonic-seance at our Lisbon home, Planeta Manas, we revisited the history of seances, and with both a critical and curious eye, researched the technologies and beliefs behind these sessions attempting to communicate with the spirits. We sat and laid down together, guided by the live guitar drones of local musician, BLEID, who conjured ghastly shadows into our presence - including a police raid who invaded the space during her live set - and yet, her precise sonic guidance appeased the spirits and maintained everyone tight through a soporific night journey.

Combining traditional instrumentation and drone synths, BLEID creates endless waves, slowly growing and decreasing in a timeless continuum, overlaying sounds to breaking point, collapsing into themselves just to arrive at a familiar yet new destination every time.

We recommend good speakers that allow the reverberation to be felt in your body, or headphones accompanied with some tea. Allow yourself to drift away with these textured, haunted but soothing vibrations.

Glad to announce a new mix from Hunay Saday. To be introduced by her own words. 
"Within this mix, I managed to include nearly 3-4 different genres that bring me great pleasure while mixing, particularly percussion - reminiscent of the ones I used to hear at weddings in Azerbaijan when I was a kid. I now listen to them differently since electronic music became involved, but the feeling is the same, or sometimes even greater. It's been 12 years since my departure from my home country, and my dreams, the films I make, as well as these kinds of mixes, are the only way for me to travel back there, to my childhood memories."

Our next mix is by Officium. We get a proper long trip over here, with almost reaching 3 hours of music. 
Officium is a multi-instrumentalist, knee-deep in the forward pushing underground scene of France. Navigating the Wreckers Ov Civilization radio serie at Lyl Radio. 
Last year, he released the amazing album ‘lazybones’ at Teenage Menopause Records, from Paris.
This story is taking us from Cindy Lee to Coil and helen island to Special Guest DJ, while Boris is playing alongside Missy Elliott. 
“There are lots of clues about mystical thinking, emotions, winks to people I love and friends' musicals projects in here. All mixed up and resulting in a strong narrative.”

"Sounds I'm moved by across the musical spectrum, often orbiting the dance/electronic/esoteric sound system."

We're excited to have Hi-Vis join us for a new monthly residency. They're a Chicago-based DJ, producer, co-founder of Lizard Label, and also 1/2 of DJ duo Farplane.
