The Gemstone #07 | LENI

I'm happy to share a new set with you which I recently played at Sisyphos, Berlin. Larissa Lindler, Farry, Isabeau Fort and me were invited to play at Danielles birthday party. I'm still trying to figure out what just happened yesterday, but one is definitely for sure: it was a fantastic night and i really enjoyed playing on this beautiful morning!

grazie,
Francesco

Welcome back to the Magician On Duty Journey Series!

On this edition we welcome Deep Ändi (@deepandi)

It is an absolute pleasure to welcome Andreas to the Journey Series, as we celebrate 200 episodes! I want to thank everyone for their continuous support, and special thanks to all the artists that contributed to this series. This milestone wouldn't have been possible without you!

Here are a few words from Andreas:

Hello everyone. I was honored when Adrian asked me to record the 200th episode for the Magician on Duty Journey Series. 

For this special occasion, I want to take you on a journey back in time to my teenage self falling in love with electronic music for the first time. I grew up with most of these songs and associate many special moments with them that I shared with special people. 

I think back to this time very fondly and would like to thank everyone who accompanied me on my personal journey.

But now it's time to buckle up and enjoy the trip. 

I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did!

For Schleichcast °54, we’re excited to present @nugimusic – a Vienna-based DJ and producer known for his passion for blending genres and moods; and this mixtape is another proof of this talent: it is what some people might describe as ‚original‘ downtempo - a slow-paced coalescence of musical diversity taking you through moments of melancholy, playfulness and dynamic grooves. Organic and percussive elements intertwine with some live-played saxophone tunes by Catherine aka @goldkettchen (how cool is that?!). 

Nugi’s transitions are effort- and seamless, yet they sometimes feel like unlocking new levels in a game or opening up new horizons while they move you from rather solemn soundscapes to lively, uplifting moments. This set is a warm, soul-soothing experience and we couldn’t wish for anything better to fit the cozy chill vibe in this time of the year.

A big thank you to @nugimusic & @goldkettchen for this beautiful contribution – let this one take you on a ride. <3 

>>Wer bist du und woher kommst du?
Ich bin Ben, ursprünglich aus der Nähe von München, aber seit fast 8 Jahren lebe ich in Wien. 

>>Wie kamst du zum Auflegen?
2008 hat mir ein Freund seine Plattenspieler gezeigt und mir das Auflegen beigebracht. Zuerst haben wir zusammen auf Schulpartys gespielt, später ging es über Hauspartys und Geburtstagsfeiern bis in Bars. Allerdings stand für mich immer das Auflegen zuhause im Vordergrund. Anfangs war es eher eine Art musikalische Selbsttherapie für mich und gar nicht so sehr für ein Publikum gedacht.

>>Was hat dich für das Set inspiriert?
Das Set ist in einer Jurte im Garten eines abgelegenen Landhauses in der Steiermark entstanden. Umgeben von Bergen, Stille und der Wärme eines Holzofens habe ich dort über drei Wochen Musik produziert und dabei unter anderem dieses Set aufgenommen. Die Ruhe und Abgeschiedenheit haben mich vollkommen inspiriert. Als Catherine aus Wien vorbeikam, haben wir uns spontan ans Jammen gemacht – sie live am Saxofon, ich an den Decks. Das Ergebnis ist dieser Mix, in dem sich die Magie des Ortes widerspiegelt.

>>Welcher Moment deines Künstlerlebens hat dich nachhaltig beeinflusst?
2016/2017 war ich länger in Asien unterwegs und habe auf einer kleinen Insel in Kambodscha eine abgelegene Rave-Community entdeckt. Eigentlich wollte ich nur kurz bleiben, doch ich habe dort letztlich mehrere Monate verbracht. Schon am ersten Tag packte der Manager seinen neuen Traktor-Controller aus – denselben, den ich zuhause hatte. So bin ich sofort Teil des Teams geworden.

Die intensiven Nächte, an denen ich im Dschungel- und Strandsetting aufgelegt habe, haben mir klar gemacht, dass Musik für mich weit mehr ist als ein Hobby. Dort habe ich beschlossen, das Auflegen bewusster in mein Leben zu holen und auch öffentlich zu spielen.

>>Was ist dein Geheimtipp gegen den Kater?
Alkoholfreies Bier auf der Party trinken und dafür lieber mit Kakao durchstarten. Der schiebt ordentlich, und macht keinen Kater :)

Step into the immersive soundscape of maaje’s latest mix for BeYond – a sonic journey that invites you to move beyond the surface and into something deeper. Blending atmospheric textures with smooth, thoughtful transitions, Maaje crafts an experience that feels both expansive and deeply personal.

Each layer of sound unfolds with intention, drawing you into a space where time slows down and the mind begins to wander. It’s not just about listening – it’s about feeling, drifting, and exploring your own emotional landscape through sound.

This mix is perfect for late-night reflection, creative flow, or moments when you simply want to escape the noise of the everyday. With every beat, maaje offers a subtle invitation: to let go, tune in, and travel inward.

Enjoy.

Adrian emerges as a luminary in a celestial constellation of emerging artists, sculpting a realm where influences, moods, and genres converge, defying the confined borders of established soundscapes. His sonic palette, a masterpiece of carefully woven layers, unfolds like a cosmic ballet, an invitation to extraterrestrial dance floors where tempo metamorphoses between tracks, and melodies intertwine like a continuous string of celestial sonnets. Here, quality transcends the mere metrics of intensity and speed.

In Adrian's sonic realm, each performance is a signature manifestation of "the calm before the storm," a ritual where the listener is immersed in anticipation, a prelude to the tempest of emotions that follows. This is the alchemy of Adrian's musical sorcery, an enchanting journey through the uncharted territories of sound.

As the chronicles of 2025 unfold, Adrian's sonic odyssey echoes across diverse landscapes—from the mystical echoes of Agartha in Turkey to the blazing sands of Burning Man in the United States, from the rhythmic heartbeats of Katzensprung and Lusatia Festival in Germany to the sun-kissed shores of SXM Festival in St. Maarten. His notes resonate in the neon glow of Playa Playground Festival in Las Vegas, the vibrant energy of Richkovyi Rave in Ukraine, and the transformative fires of Love Burn in the United States.

On these sacred stages, Adrian has shared his musical revelations alongside a pantheon of world-class artists—YokoO, WhoMadeWho, Echonomist, Roy Rosenfeld, Gorje Hewek, and a constellation of kindred spirits. Together, they weave a sonic tapestry that transcends boundaries, a testament to the boundless creativity that unfolds when musical souls unite.
