Reflexions

Fully wrapped up in those brilliant soundscapes from the very beginning and going in crescendo as we move forward with rigorous transitions. An accurate and detailed slow build up until you start smelling ‘the club’ or better said ‘the badly missing club perfume/aroma’ and consequently, seeing the jerky and bouncy silhouettes dancing in the strobes. Dancers appearing dark against a temporary visual imprint caused by a brief exposure to high-intensity light levels and a constant surge of pleasant sound waves. 

Brussels Adhémar is a multi-disciplinary artist, establishing his universe through music and visual works. Constantly in search of the luminous quality of sounds, in a world made of shadows and light, his music is closely linked to his plastic work. This obsession with shadows leads him to think and create spaces, atmospheres that focus on the lightness and poetry of light.  

He is also currently working on a new side project with Olorun (IDO Records) as a duo called Aucuba Replica to showcase sounds that can combine organic and artificial elements and experimental sides of Techno music.

His work has appeared on labels such as @lett-records, @kvlto-records, @oslated, @aardenrecords, @huinalidub and @secuencias_temporales

Into The Abyss #017 | VLB52 Live
 
The ever-foggy view and the liquid atmosphere promised calm and general silence. But, just contrary, lost beats and broken patterns emerge from beneath the entropy of the forest, from every fern shaking and it screams from the distance like a high definition, silent river. 

This is a collection of recordings in different days, spots, weather and machines through 2020 and 2021 to be arranged later on again around the summer months 2021 into a single trekking day following the music.

La Extraña Pareja 003

Pour ce nouveau sermon, @clarencerise propose une ôde à la mélancolie réconfortante, celle qui vient chatouiller nos parts sombres en quête d'aspérités, et à la dualité ombre/lumière, d'où la dynamique des émotions étend ses racines. 
Entre atmosphères coldwave et electronica oppressante, cette messe a tout du rite initiatique.

CELLAR DOOR // PODCAST #108
https://soundcloud.com/medulla_oblongata

Cellar Door is welcoming https://soundcloud.com/medulla_oblongata to their mixing series. A dj, co-founder of the ambient mix series https://soundcloud.com/trevemusicofficial 

Staying true to his sound and dj skills, Medulla Oblongata is bringing his driving techno mix, filled with psychedelic twists and acidic environment. 

ARTIST'S BIO:
Medulla Oblongata is a discreet yet emerging Dj who blossoms in his musical biotope between ambient and a mental and hypnotic techno. His techno sets are an invitation to an immersive journey where dancers can forget themselves. We could see him working lately with the Château Perché Festival and their secret and uncompromising side projects and at KALT (Strasbourg, Fr) where he can express himself without boundaries.

With other weirdos he also co-founded the collective TRÊVE gathering artists from different horizons around ambient and visual arts in order to propose dreamlike and contemplative events. His ambient sets become hybridized with tape samples, droning machine loops and synthesizers.

HOWLONGISNOW #6 - Launaea

Hello everyone and a warm welcome back to the Blendet Series. 

Exciting weeks with hopefully many sunny days and bright nights are ahead of us. The months of festivals, socializing on outdoor dance floors. The months of bonfires and barbecues.

Reflexions Podcast 02 - Polarized

Years and years of music exploration have led Alfonso Pomeda aka F-on to the job at the record shop, to owning a record label Alpenglühen and to the unique djing style with progressive sessions, profound and long mixes, real voyages that sail through experimental music, ambient, horizontal and dubby techno.

With every step forwards it’s a step more into the unknown. Cautiously pushing of an ocean bed a thought catches you off guard – this certainly is the last time in a long while before the familiar grains of sand will greet your tired feet anew. Though, consciousness now has its battle – the darkness beneath the body, the black waves catching up to you. Life long fight with self, the fight against the fear of nothingness deep under.

“The sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever.“ – Jacques Yves Cousteau

"An invitation to Relax"

For our fourth podcast we welcome Adhémar. A very talented French artist whose work you'll have heard on Oslated and Aarden records.

Please read his note :) 

"This recording is an invitation to relax  and relieve any tensions. 
You can follow the instructions below. 
Stay in Shavasana for as long as you want - let go !
Lie flat on the back with the arms about 15 cm away from the body, palms facing upward.
A thin pillow or folded cloth may be placed behind the head to prevent discomfort. A rolled up blanket can be placed under the knees, heels still touching the ground, to relieve low back tension. 
Let the fingers curl up slightly.
Move the feet slightly apart to a comfortable position and close the eyes.
The head and spine should be in a straight line.
Make sure the head does not fall to one side or the other.
Relax the whole body and stop all physical movement. 
Become aware of the natural breath and allow it to become rhythmic and relaxed".

Enjoy the ride!

Initiate concept is born from a passion for boundary pushing electronic music. We want to move away from trends of instant gratification to explore club music and its intersections with other forms of musical expression.
 
The sound we wish to share with you makes us dance, pause, reflect and meditate. It takes us away and transports us.
 
What drives us is the exploration of fine tuned sounds that come together to create holistic pieces of music, inducing various states of consciousness.
 
Initiate provides a wholesome space for self-reflection, for bonding with others and for musical discoveries that will challenge your ears and dance moves alike!
