In anticipation of the upcoming third edition of SONIC GARDEN ~ an all-day ambient, downtempo and experimental electronic music event taking place in the lush Old Paradise Yard of London’s IKLECTIK ~ we are thrilled to share a live recording of the enigmatic opening b2b set from the last edition 🐝

Courtesy of Avsluta and Christian Duka ~ the two minds behind SONIC GARDEN ~ it is a perfect mood-setter for the upcoming adventure with Primal Code (Hypnus & Kalahari Oyster Cult) and Luca (E2-E8) happening on Sunday, 26th June 💫

More info and tickets: https://amoenus.co.uk/sonicgarden 🌿

This nearly three hours journey is a slowly blossoming mystical affair of gently oozing ambient textures with scattered spoken word leading into dub-infused downtempo and various flavours of progressive electronica. Best listened to in its full length, this a perfect accompaniment to your psychedelic adventures 🍄

Podcast Series 24 | Avsluta b2b Christian Duka (Live at SONIC GARDEN)

Drifting, hanging, holding. Hoping, seeking, searching. And then finding.

Mark Van Hoen's ninth album as Locust is a cosmic whisper, a tender touch, where candid songwriting commingles with the afterimage of trip-hop and jungle. Across eight tracks, spectral melodies dance between languid breakbeats, and a formless murmur drifts through the ether, seeking a common thread.

Layered in strata, "The First Cause" reveals itself anew with each listen. Delicate tones share space with bass weight. Drums crunch, and rhythms cascade. Voices loop and intone, bodiless. What at first seems melancholy, you may later find reoriented—toward promise.

We seek solace in each other, and we seek solace in sound. Kinship isn't easy to come by. When a record offers its kind embrace to us as this one does, without reservation, we should take heed.

Welcome to the first episode of the year of our Shapes playlist! Welcome to Flaw

Flavio aka Flaw had a constant relationship with music, leading him to numerous experiences as a musician and always gravitating towards the world of electronic music. DJ/Selector based in Bologna, Flaw is part of the Girovelle Psicotronice family, playing techno, fresh breakbeat/trance, electro and progressive sounds.

A fusion between past and contemporary, new releases and re-emerged records complement each other by always trying to tell something different, the defined idea of the sounds that he loves does not hinder a continuous and obsessed turnover of his archive. This set reflects this attitude, starting with an atmospheric and syncopated intro, then building a climax that reaches the peak and successively descends down to an introspective ground floor.

Enjoy!

Into The Abyss Special Mix | Simbiosis 2023 - Josephine Soundscapes

"Simbiosis is a self-managed, intimate and family event, which takes
place annually in Andalusia. Our values are essentially respect, promoting community and supporting local talent."

Josephine’s Soundscapes is a project comprising sound collages and Dj sets that embrace certain atmospheres of escape and electricity, a collection of random sequences, pensive oscillations, erratic voices drifting across decades (from landscape to living room), nocturnality and a rare, as in slight, intensity. Part of creative cell a_mal_gam_a with deejay Diskoan, spreading its hypnagogic shroud over a number of club nights and special events from its residency at listening club Avalovara. Josephine’s Soundscapes is an experimental incarnation of transversal studio Machines Désirantes Buró, based in Madrid.

Into The Abyss Special Mix | Simbiosis 2023 - Josephine' Soundscapes

Hallo happy January and welcome back to our first edition in 2024.

We are sinking deep into the white carpet of snow these days here in the northern hemisphere. A perfect time to gather together around a little fire, warm up and listen to some amazing Techno productions. 

Our next guest Murianoise, coming from warmer climes in Catalonia has attracted our attention with his lovely mix "La Technocràcia X" (link downwards) 
In our Series he is presenting a wonderful homage to the well known Record Label SEMANTICA, started in 2006 from Enrique Mena. 
Last FM has described Enrique, also known as Svreca in 2006 as one of Madrid most coolest upcoming DJ, who combines the coolest and most sophisticated electronica with the most abstract and complex Techno, and sometimes his experimentation leads him towards the most unusual textures and rhythms for the dance floor.

Before we start, lets hear a few words from Murianoise 

" This mix is a tribute to the Spanish Techno label SEMANTICA. Since I introduced myself into the realms of DJing back in 2017 and began buying & collecting music for my 
mixes, SEMANTICA has been the label that I always go to, not only because of the music genres that they mostly release (hypnotic, IDM, atmospheric, deep & dark techno) 
which I really love! But also because of the way the tracks are produced, with an exquisite sound design and a very good taste, in my humble opinion.
In 2019, I had the privilege to see Svreca, SEMANTICA’s boss, playing at Paral.lel Festival, an intimate deep Techno festival that takes place in the mountains of Catalonia, my home region. In his 4 hour set Svreca was delivering lots of releases of his label that I 
recognized and danced as it were the end of the world. That night was a very special. One and I will always remember it.
The first EP I bought on SEMANTICA was “Helmet of Bones” by one of my favorite Techno artists: Evigt Mörker. 
This EP, that captivated me immediately, was in fact the 
key that made me open the door of the beautiful genre of ambient/IDM/hypnotic/dark Techno. 
“Magdalene Spell” is the first track of “Helmet of Bones EP” and the last track of this mix, that I hope you enjoy! "

Big thanks for the very well selected homage to Murianoise and the deepest honor to Enrique, SEMANTICA and all the contributors and artist for 18 years of timeless productions we all very much enjoy at home ore on dance floors. 

And as always, will the flow be with you. As we share through Music the present moment together. Stay tuned for upcoming mixes, connected and never forget :) we are all pieces of Stardust moving around in infinity.
