22052023 - Jan Swam - Sounds Of Refractor

For this edition Betonska/Dzungla is collaborating with Spanish label Organic Signs, who happen to have re-issued another work by Sebastian Taylor: Digitalis - Soma Junkies. In line with this release, Organic Signs have organised a secret party in the middle of nature and close to Madrid called Refractor, with a stellar line-up, and the one and only Digitalis/Biotone among others. And in honour of the festival, Jan Swam recorded a very special mix as part of the Betonska Basta series. Here’s what he has to say about it:

“This is Alejandro aka Jan Swam, label manager of the Spanish label organic Sings. I want to present you a very special mix that has been made in honour of Refractor, a very special date that is taking place on the 27th of May in a secret spot in the middle of nature next to Madrid.

And I say it's very special because it's a like collaborative mix: I asked each artist playing at Refractor to send me a couple of tracks that reminded them of an event like this, and I mixed them together with my contribution and the one of Iggy P.

I also wanted to show that in a world where there is a lot of toxic competition, joining forces always wins in the end. Betonska and Organic Signs have re-released different akas by Seb Taylor (Biotone & Digitalis), and nothing makes me happier than meeting each other and being able to collaborate on this mix.

Thanks to Seb Taylor aka Kaya Project aka Digitalis aka Biotone, Emilia Grima, High Future, K.O.P. 32, Parallax, Remotif, Servei, Sybil, Tadan and of course Iggy P. I really enjoyed listening and mixing your selection.”

On that beautiful note we hope that you all will enjoy the mix. Thanks all for contributing and thank you for reaching out with this idea Jan Swam. Sad we weren't able to make it to Refractor but we're sure all visitors had blast. Enjoy the mix.

Jan Swam - Someone Found A Clover In The Cave [HUMAN-TWO VA]

𝑷𝒓𝒆𝒎𝒊𝒆𝒓𝒆: Jan Swam - Events That Led To My Dissapearance [OS03]

In the third release of Organic Signs, we embark on a direct journey to the musical heart of Refractor: the annual gathering held in a forest on the outskirts of Madrid to celebrate dancing under the sun and stars for 24 uninterrupted hours. 


With four tracks that encapsulate the sound of different mental states you may experience firsthand on this expedition, we begin with label manager Jan Swam's track. He introduces us to ancestral sounds featuring a flute played by himself, gradually accompanied by a penetrating bassline and synth, along with various elements spread across the stereo field. All of this leads to an unexpected finale. Next, we delve into the track by French artist based in Seoul, Pyramid Of Knowledge aka K.O.P. 32, who has crafted a perfect progression of sounds to immerse us in a trance towards the depths of the subconscious. The intensity builds up gradually until reaching its peak in the final moments. 


On the other side, we welcome back our beloved Digitalis, responsible for the label's first release. This time, he presents a lost gem from '97 never before released, transporting us directly to the UK rave scene. Get ready to feel the unleashed pulse of the English artist who left an indelible mark on psychedelic music. Finally, we venture into the last chapter where Tadan pilots an interdimensional ship towards the hidden face of a moon that orbits a planet beyond the solar system. Close your eyes to appreciate the depth of the atmospheres and textures, intertwined with a constant rhythmic line that will guide us to the final moments of the record.

𝑷𝒓𝒆𝒎𝒊𝒆𝒓𝒆: Jan Swam - Events That Led To My Dissapearance [OS03]

With a musical background and a wide knowledge in different genres, Organic Signs’ label manager Jan Swam is a singular artistic expression in constant evolution. Enjoy this multi-genre sonic trip from the Organic Signs x DE RIO night [22.03.24] through tribal rhythms, psychedelia, complex structures and a wide range of textures, combining old school sounds with more avant-garde ones.

Jan Swam live in Florence x DE RIO [22.03.24]

Siempre que grabo intento provocar algo en el interior de quienes me escuchan. Durante estos días de cuarentena alguién decidió traer al mundo dos nuevos rostros y para darles la bienvenida decidí hacer una representación sonora de lo que fue su nacimiento. De la travesía que supone dejar atrás el vientre materno para ser un elemento más de este mundo. Del cambio pendular de sentimientos que se balancean entre la belleza y la violencia que puede mostrar la naturaleza, donde el pulso entre la vida y la muerte pueden parecer míseros caprichos del destino., Los cambios de temperatura, la luz, el color. El comenzar a respirar de manera independiente además del primer contacto con los hermanos. Las complicaciones y el destete prematuro para salvar la vida de todos.

Este es mi regalo para vosotros.
--------------------------
Whenever I record I try to trig something inside those who listen to me. During these days of quarantine someone decided to bring two new faces into the world and to welcome them I decided to make a soundtrack of what their birth was like. Of the journey of leaving behind the mother's womb to become one more element of this world. Of the pendular change of feelings that swing between the beauty and the violence that nature can show, where the pulse between life and death can seem like miserable whims of destiny, the changes in temperature, light, colour. Beginning to breathe independently as well as the first contact with siblings. Complications and premature weaning to save everyone's life.

This is my gift to you.
