The third chapter of our introspective Podcast Series comes courtesy of Ssnurssla - promoter, field recording astronaut, cassette tape connoisseur, DJ and a co-founder of Czech cultural community AVA Kolektiv. We simply can't get enough of his infectious energy and curiosity about all sounds oddly oozing, undulating, pulsing and rhythming. It is with a spirit of an explorer and primal sensibilities of a shaman that he mixes his potent potion of sounds from all continents and undiscovered planetary systems alike.

This chapter is a live recording of Ssnurssla's cassette & vinyl set captured at our gathering this January. Expect a heady mix of tribal energies and complex rhythmic structures colliding and morphing into psychedelic journeys of weightless hypnotic techno, contemporary hybrid bass music deconstructions and spacey ambient ✨🐍✨

MARMO, a collaborative project between Christian Duka and Marco Maldarella, was born out of friendship and shared passion for music-making. Starting off respectively as the electric guitarist and singer in a metal band nearly a decade ago, the pair have worked their way through various flavours of electronic music inhabiting someplace between ambient and dance music.

Platform navigating the liminal spaces between ambient and dance music and featuring regular radio shows, guest podcast series and co-curated events ✨🌝🌚✨

Visual Identity by @marcomaldarella 🍃

Christian Duka is a multifaceted music and sound artist who works primarily with spatial audio. He has collaborated with a wide range of artists across various disciplines, from free improvisation to contemporary digital dance to experimental and dance electronic music. Christian Duka is also a versatile DJ moving fluidly between experimental ambient realms and the physical energy of dance music — often blurring the line between the two in experimental ways: left-field bass, smokey dubbed-out jazzy jungle & dnb, psychedelic techno & trance for genre-fluid, bass-heavy, atmospheric, introspective and euphoric journeys.

Notable collaborative projects include the interdisciplinary work "UR: Human Presence" with Jose Macabra, Pell Ensemble, and Elyssavet Sfyri, the spatial drone-bath performance "The Listening Body" with Hems, Merkaba Macabre, and Pascal Savy, a series of live performances in collaboration with free improvisers such as John Butcher, Ute Kanngiesser, Lucie Stepankova, David Toop, Sharon Gal, and Aimee Theriot (4DSOUND), exploring the fusion of free improvisation and live electronics in three-dimensional audio, and the electronic music projects MARMO & Vādin with Marco Maldarella and Avsluta, respectively, with releases on various international record labels (Utter, Offen, Area127, Secuencias Temporales).

Beyond his own artistic projects, he taught electronic music, audio production and sound design at SAE London and Greenwich University and founded Amoenus, a non-profit organization that promotes and supports spatial sound in immersive arts through residency programs, workshops, and public events.
