Rapture Investigation is back, with trans-Atlantic journeys to share, gliding through evolving avant-garde soundscapes.

Rapture Investigation w/ 98dots [08.02.25]

The fluid transitions are heard in an intricate interplay that evokes a sense of co-dependency with the scene. Silent scene, unseen. Felt. Meeting the balance in between.  
Picking up secrets on the way from Ecuador with the purpose of influencing perception and memory. Leaving the explanations out of existence. Reaching out to opposites and dualities, with no obligation to choose, only to acknowledge and swim freely between them. Longing for the unexpected and the non-compliant. A desire to see beyond perspectives. With a sensitivity and mysterious grace that has grown with the years. Alejandro Romero Jordan digs deep into his pockets to show us his name, his soul, his face, again, with confidence. 
Where no one could come and everyone was allowed, let's meet there and share what is here, the exact sphere. 
For a meaningful rest and the most welcoming crowd, for the time being, when we can all be proud. Perhaps the thing we know best is not knowing ourselves. Mostly rich in fear and doubt, free of judgement, sharing years and tears. Sometimes blue, sometimes green, grateful for the clouds. For the rise. And for the shine. 
Between the greenest forest and the deepest blue sea, maybe we should close our eyes and feel what we seek.

Saphileaum is the alias of Georgian producer, multi-disciplinary artist and KHIDI club resident Andro Gogibedashvili. Emerging from a profoundly creative family-actors, singers, writers, and poets, Andro’s creative path has been profoundly shaped by his heritage and the traditions that surround it.
Saphileaum makes music for coming together, for meditation, and for mystical, philosophical musings. A sound crafted as unique and consistent as his, only possible through a lifelong passion and commitment to artistic expression. Often drawing on disparate genres, his unique sound is brought together by the beauty of rhythm—live drumming including the Georgian Dhol often featuring alongside starry melodies, woven into half-time grooves, meditative ambient and atmospheric techno. 
Inspired by mysticism, earth and the secrets of the universe, Saphileaum’s journey reached celestial heights in 2022, when a snippet of his piece Cosmic Lake Transparency was transmitted into deep space to the exoplanet K2-18B, just 124 light-years away from Earth. via the Goonhilly Earth Station, making him the second Georgian artist to have their music sent to the stars. (Sidenote: incredible timing finding out this fun fact with signs of life on K2-18B being reported this week!).
His discography spans labels of the highest order: Mule Musiq, Good Morning Tapes, Silent Season, Oslated and more with each release reflecting his creative approach to each label, which he described as ‘like stepping into a new country’. Fresh terrain of culture, sound, and inspiration. Being releasing records, Saphileaum shapeshifts across other mediums, soundtracking Georgian films, collaborating on high-profile art and fashion exhibitions and writing poetry. From club nights to quiet nights, and now from Earth to K2-18B, Saphileaum’s approach to music and art invites us to listen deeply.

This month, we are delighted to welcome Vinsen, based in The Hague, to our series. Slowly and steadily, he’s been crafting a musical realm that drifts between heartwarming melodies, textured soundscapes, and subtle grooves. His mixes and DJ sets reflect a deep passion for storytelling, drawing inspiration from fantasy worlds, sci-fi books, and the everyday beauty of life in his city.

This particular mix was recorded mostly at the enchanting Above Below festival in the UK, surrounded by rolling hills, a gentle brook, blooming trees, and birdsong—a setting that felt straight out of a fairytale. Inspired by the magic of the landscape, Vinsen brought that dreamy atmosphere to The Coombe, the festival’s special ambient stage. The final version has been subtly adapted for a more intimate and conscious listening experience at home.

Frankfurt based DJ Arno Schäfer contributes the 28th episode of the Noorden mixtape series. Arno stumbled upon our Soundcloud profile, liked the previous mixes and asked us, if we’d be interested in a mixtape by him. And of course: yes, we were! After listening to his recent mixes – for example his KANNMIX, a mix for LACK or the WHITE radiosession together with Edward – we’ve been very curious about what his mix for Noorden would be about. The result is a very danceable 90-minute set consisting of Arnos actual »top very important tracks«. We love it!

Invitation to Participate in Electronic Music Exploration: Showcase Your Music on Experimental Story Podcast

The project "Experimental story "is designed as a platform for visual, musical and literary art integration with the purpose to create products, namely stories, which show themselves through the media of word, sound and picture. I give the visual and literary axis of the art piece, where local and foreign musicians, producers and Djs give the musical part. 
The advantage of this project is the visual dimension of musical expression which interprets it using techniques derived from the fields of fine arts and literature. The musical piece's content is thus presented in all its visual variety. The goal of the project is to collect varied and quality music with the intention to enrich creative area and connect different fields of art, interesting for experts and enthusiasts. 
The purpose of the project is to shed a light on the interpretative view of music and everything that connects to it. As the auditory perception may carry the main role, when it comes to music, one cannot neglect the visual effects experienced by the performance, feedback of the public, the outlook of the physical space in which the performance is taking place, by technical equipment and other material. At the same time, the focus lies in the visual and literary interpretation of a single musical piece, for we consider that one can tell a story in a spectrum of ways using different media.
