About this mix:
Feels like a wrong turn brought you here, but now you staying to follow the journey. Sense of uncertainty — like waking up far from the familiar, not quite sure where you are or what’s coming next. Then the pace picks up and you find yourself in a dark, slightly rebellious mood — like a wild night on the edge of something. Toward the end, there’s a sense of soft release, a quiet that doesn’t scare but soothes. It’s a sonic ritual I’ve gone through myself — and now I’m inviting you in.

About Cotu
COTU was born and raised in the Far East of Russia, but always felt like a Citizen of the Universe. Guided by a deep curiosity and hunger for adventure, he set out on a journey that took him to Thailand—where everything changed.

It was New Year’s Eve 2016 at the SIMIRAM Festival on Koh Phangan, his very first electronic music festival. The dancefloor was a wooden platform suspended above the sea, facing a giant rock where vivid visual projections lit up the night. As the first sunrise of the year began to rise behind the horizon, a magical scene unfolded—beautiful women performed a fire show atop the rock, while a violinist linked up with the DJ, weaving haunting melodies into the beat. In that moment, surrounded by rhythm, light, and connection, COTU felt the true spirit of unity and freedom that lives on the dancefloor. That morning changed everything.

His journey brought him to the United States. It was there, during a difficult chapter of life, that he began DJing—not for fame, but as a form of therapy. The music helped him heal, and now, through every mix he creates, COTU tells a story. Each set is a journey—through emotional landscapes, introspective moods, and moments of ecstatic release.

Since then, he's played coast to coast—from underground warehouse raves in LA and iconic Clinic Wednesdays, to Minimal Effort at the Globe Theater, California's Deseract gatherings, festivals in the Mojave Desert, Bombay Beach,  and the legendary Burning Man Playa (House of Love, Luna Art Crane). He’s even brought his deep, storytelling sets to Do Not Sit On The Furniture, the beloved Florida-born event series.

There is one more g(old) recording from our party MAGIC. White version.

Alpaqua - White Magic @ Realist Bar, Minsk, 20/04/2018

Some feelings are hard to name - quiet, unsettling moments that linger at the edges of perception. Eckige Bäume is one of those moments, captured in sound.
Born from a strange emotional aftertaste, Eckige Bäume finds its inspiration in a walk through nature - followed by the disorienting return to a world shaped by human order. 

The artists, @slow_child and @aamiq, describe the moment as a kind of quiet shock: stepping out of organic wildness, only to find trees trimmed into perfect squares. Something beautiful, made rigid. Something alive, restrained.
Translating this experience into music, the duo crafted a soft downtempo piece that floats between wonder and melancholy. 
Gentle percussion and warm textures pulse like distant memories, while subtle melodic layers drift like thoughts just out of reach. The track doesn’t shout - it breathes, inviting listeners into its quiet tension, where the organic meets the artificial, and the emotional response is felt more than explained.
Eckige Bäume is a meditation on contrast. It’s the sound of remembering how strange we’ve made the world - and how those realizations, however small, stay with us.
