SchickCast 01 kommt von @katharsia. Das ist ihr Mitschnitt ihrer Reihe triggered vom 09.12.2022.

In einer dunklen Winternacht liefert Katharsia den Soundtrack zu einer bittersüßen Geschichte, die ihre Zuhörer*innen mit Hilfe eines exzentrischen Minimalismus mitten hinein in die Selbstvergessenheit zieht und in einem getriebenen, kompromiss- und schnörkellosen Groove mündet. Es bleiben 5 Stunden und 53 Minuten melancholischen Lächelns und unermüdlichen Tanzens.

📀 Licht & Schatten 📀

✍️ Bei Licht und Schatten handelt es sich primär um eine Gruppenübung. Dabei ist es völlig gleich, ob es sich um gute Freunde, Bekannte oder fremde Menschen handelt. 
Zu Beginn setzt man sich in einen Kreis. Dann wählt man sich ein Utensil, welches als Redestab fungiert. Nur wer diesen Gegenstand in Händen hält, darf sprechen. Dann beginnt der erste damit, seinen Schatten in Worte zu fassen. Er nennt dabei eine Tat, Erlebnis oder Eigenschaft welche ihn beschäftigt, belastet oder stört. Der sprechende nimmt sich dabei alle Zeit die er braucht. Anschließend berichtet er denn anderen von einem Licht. Dabei erzählt er etwas positives aus seinem Leben. Denkbar ist alles, von einer netten Geste bis hin zur großen Liebe. Nach dem sowohl ein Licht als auch ein Schatten genannt wurde, ist der nächste dran, solange bis jeder der will etwas gesagt hat. 
Diese Übung hilft dabei klare Gedanken zu fassen. Man lernt sich und die anderen besser kennen und verstehen. Bei Licht und Schatten wird nicht bewertet oder verurteilt. Alle hören hin, was die anderen zu sagen haben und am Ende fühlt man sich (fast immer) befreit und verstanden. 

🎵 Nach längerer Zeit gibt es dieses Mal wieder einen Techno KataHaifisch Podcast zu hören und zu genießen. Die Hamburgerin SKADI geleitet uns heute in ihre technoide, intergalaktische parallel-Traumwelt. Die Bassdrums sind kompromisslos, die Synths brachial und kernig. In den Breaks baut sich Energie und Spannung auf, in den Drops entlädt sich aufgestaute Kraft. Die Parts schreiten, getrieben durch repetitive Melodien voran und am Ende des Tracks fängt das Spiel wieder von vorne an. 

Dankeschön für dieses Kraftpaket ❤️

📀 Die Heldenreise 📀

✍️ Die Heldenreise ist ein immer wiederkehrendes Motiv in der literarischen Welt. Man findet sie in Romanen wie Sand am Meer, doch langweilig wird sie trotzdem nicht. Dabei ist das Prinzip recht einfach. Ein Protagonist sieht sich, meist zu Beginn seines Abenteuers, mit einer persönlich wichtigen Aufgabe konfrontiert. Die Motive und Hintergründe einer solchen Mission sind dabei unterschiedlich und von Fall zu Fall verschieden. 
Nach das Ziel der Reise gesteckt ist, trifft 
der Protagonist, meist nach und nach auf seine Gefährten. Diese begleiten ihn auf seiner Reise und entwickeln sich über die Zeit zu guten Freuden. Wobei es innerhalb der Crew meist auch ein bis zwei zwielichtige Gestalten gibt. Häufig wird unsere Hauptfigur im Laufe seiner Reise von jenen untreuen Gefährten vertraten u/o betrogen. 
Trotz vieler Widrigkeiten und Wiederstände bahnt sich unser Held seinen Weg, kommt seinem Ziel näher und sammelt dabei wertvolle Erfahrungen und Lektionen. Am Ende seiner Reise ist der Protagonist viel reifer als noch zu Beginn. Manchmal, aber nicht immer wurde die vorher gesetzte Aufgabe erfüllt. Oft zeigt sich, der Weg ist das eigentliche Ziel. Während des Reisens findet die persönliche Entwicklung statt, unabhängig von der Quest. 
Simpel aber effektiv macht eine Heldenreise in den unterschiedlichsten Welten, mit den verschiedensten Charakteren und Gestalten jede Menge Spaß und ist und bleibt aufregend. 

🎵 Der heutige Podcast macht dem Namen seines Schöpfers alle Ehre. Sonnensysteme verzaubert uns mit einem ausgefallenen Sammelsurium unterschiedlichster, musikalischer Stimmungs- und Gefühlslagen. Dieses Set wandelt sich von freundlich-heiter zu dämmrig-düster und gleitet anschließend in epochale Spähren. Diese verschiedenen Phasen folgen aufeinander, wechseln sich spielerisch miteinander ab und determinieren in ihrer Gesamtheit das gesamte Set. Feinster Downsnappy der sich selber nicht zu ernst nimmt und gelassen, über 61 Minuten lang den hinhörenden Konsumenten umgarnt. 

Dankeschön ❤️

A sheen, shaped, silver smooth 
ringing go hues bounced against 
the sizzle of shaking 
as the steady siren sings 
a tune to sway all sands 
into dunes and dynamics delivered. 

 The wheel and roll of night air moon 
dew'd backward, the underside is as dry as a chime, 
while the uppermost is a rained as the tallest cave 
that stretches the feel of inside 
as if the costae verae were elastics, 
and the sternum were a bell. 

One that might only sound out 
the metal in the veins, 
like metal under water, 
flowing, fell fathoms far 
along an elliptical path, 
drilling out the cache of concepts, 
corroded and clean, 
shing as beams build out bones 
of sound from the dark kick 
scratching out strange signs 
we cannot deny. 

 And we know. 
We who have heard. 
And felt the raying cosm 
building on scintilance 
a vast canopy that drops 
upon our heads a breaking force 
to set us a'dream, 
that no tone of suspended contact 
between you and those ahead of you in line, 
one place, one minute away 
from a beta phase, 
a sudden turn, 
a slow new, 
a change, 
a chance, 
to come careening slowly 
into air that smells of lavender, 
in a land of yellow grass 
and black stones.

-

With „Recession Fever,“ FTP Doctor presents an EP that captures the soundtrack of our troubled times. Four unique tracks reflect the challenges and tensions of a society marked by recession and uncertainty.

The EP kicks off with „Glitter Jitter,“ a track that wraps the chaos of modern life within its modulating textured beats. „Discomfort Dance“ continues this journey, guiding the listener through a raw soundscape that is both unsettling and irresistibly danceable.
„Spiker Biker“ intensifies the ride with a whirling percussive synth pattern on top of a pulsating beat that mirrors the pressure and unpredictability of current times. The EP is rounded off with „Countryside Bounce,“ a track that turns all the stress into a humorous bouncy trip with its experimental clinking textures.
Next to the originals, Dycide‘s remix of „Discomfort Dance“ adds a touch of driving Grey Area energy to the record while Tenzia‘s remix of „Spiker Biker“ turned out as a massive intense stomping machine.

„Recession Fever“ is an acoustic reflection of our era that retains energy and a drive for movement with its raw sound design and unique grooves. A modern turn on dance music with all sorts of twists.

Dycide’s new album ‚Cult of the Black Moon‘ marks a powerful turn to the deep Drum and Bass realm, demonstrating a refined evolution in his sound. With a rich blend of tribal percussive elements and his signature, highly detailed sound design, the album presents a compelling fusion of old and new. Innovative rhythms break free from typical drum and bass conventions, offering something unique and extraordinary.  Dycide’s mastery of the grey area—where the lines between genres blur—is evident throughout. 
In this sonic journey, the listener is invited to explore a space that feels both ancient and futuristic—a place where the myths and legends of the universe live, whispered in the shadows of distant stars. Legends of the cosmos often speak of hidden forces and forgotten realms, places where the boundaries between reality and myth blur. Cult of the Black Moon taps into this mystical narrative, conjuring an audio experience that feels like a transmission from the farthest reaches of space. Each track seems to echo the stories of celestial bodies and cosmic events, where the line between creation and destruction is thin, and the unknown reigns supreme.
This thematic depth is complemented by the closing remixes from MTRL and Tenzia. These remixes not only add fresh interpretations to the existing tracks but also bring an added layer of complexity and dynamism to the album.

Mordio returns with ‘Selva of the Zone’, a captivating Techno Tool EP that showcases his mastery of groove and sound design. This release pulses between driving, groovy techno, minimalistic dark textures, and abstract percussions.

“Locked in a Box”, the first track, hits the ground running - a bold opening with a propelling groove, balancing deep techno roots with an energy that pushes boundaries.

“Fuiste” follows - a track defined by its functional flow, mysterious atmosphere, and intricate rhythmic patterns that challenge and captivate.

On “Small Anomaly”, mordio crafts a sleek, body-focused composition. Playful fills punctuate its elegant, functional core - a refined example of body music in motion.

“Gravity Pattern” introduces a snappy confidence, bold and irresistible, radiating cheeky energy that pulls the listener in.

Finally, the title piece, “Selva of The Zone”, bring a playful synth and a raw, crafted aesthetic together, delivering a euphoric conclusion to this rhythmically driven and deeply danceable collection.

With "Vivarium", Vienna-based live duo Mitra present their debut release and their first contribution to IO Records. Known for their immersive performances and site-responsive sound explorations, Mitra translate the raw intensity and spatial awareness of their live practice into a studio recording for the very first time.

The seven-track EP unfolds as a carefully composed sonic ecosystem. Each piece functions as a distinct organism within a living structure, contributing to a sound world that feels both precise and unpredictable. Rooted in deep listening, low-end exploration, and rhythmic subtlety, Vivarium invites audiences into an environment that is in constant transformation.

Rather than relying on fixed arrangements or traditional song structures, the tracks evolve gradually. Textures shift, patterns emerge and dissolve, and moments of stillness meet waves of tension. While firmly grounded in experimental sound design, Vivarium also reveals a sense of physicality and movement. The duo’s background in their live act is present throughout, channeling the energy of their performances into compositions that retain their organic, tactile quality.

Vivarium is more than a debut. It is an invitation to enter Mitra’s sonic world. It is a space shaped by intuition, presence, and the fluid relationship between listener, sound, and environment. With this release, Mitra opens a new chapter in their artistic trajectory, offering a compelling glimpse into the evolving potential of their sound.

IO:034 || Mitra - Vivarium

Lyder’s new album “weird fishes” is a shimmering dive into the unknown. With effervescent textures and dreamlike instrumentations, the electroacoustic trio invites listeners into a surreal seascape. Saxophone, violin, voice, and keys, all filtered and transformed, weave through ambient waters that feel both tender and disorienting. Each track explores a distinct layer of the deep – from sunlit shallows to abyssal ruins where forgotten echoes linger. “weird fishes” is a sonically fluid journey: colorful, strange, and full of hidden life.
