Megablast about his production:

”Lies“ started with a very simple but catchy Juno 60 Arpeggio Bassline, which I created around 10 years ago.

I am an 80’s child and believe that in your early years, your subconscious mind stores a lot of first impressions and emotional moments. I listened to Roxy Music at my parents’ home when I was a kid, alongside all the great pop tracks from Icehouse to New Order, which were played on the radio.

2020, when Covid started, I was locked in my studio on the island of Ibiza. I couldn’t see my little daughter, all my flights got cancelled and I had no idea when I would see her again. A few weeks later my beloved grandmother who supported me on my path with music since I was a kid passed away. I was swept up in a wave of heavy emotions and really down.

So, I decided to put all my emotions in the track I started so many years ago. I made a post on FB asking if anyone had any idea of a vocalist who could fit my expectations and I got introduced by my friend Luna Ibiza, to Steven Jones who was based in the UK.

I sent him ideas of the vocal I had in my mind. He liked it a lot and started recording and sent me the parts. Later on I got in touch with Depeche Mode’s Tour Drummer Christian Eigner, who I went to school with. He immediately liked the track and the idea, and recorded the drums for „Lies". I added some guitars with Matthias Simoner and it took quite a while to finish the whole package.

Today, I can tell that going with the flow without any stress is the best way for producing music. Many people might be surprised as it’s (maybe) untypical for what I am known for, regarding my earlier productions like „Vamos" or "Soy Como Soy", which were heavily influenced by Afro Cuban music. I don’t want to be categorized. I want to create timeless, beautiful music with no borders.

Music is a mission and not a competition.

Welcome back to the Magician On Duty Journey Series!

On this edition we welcome @fidcodo

Joshua Adam aka fid codo has been a passionate downtempo fan since Martha van Straaten played aelke's "beppo" at the Wilden Möhre in 2016. He started playing earlier this year, excited to share his interpretation of downtempo. 

He enjoys playing a driving indie/downtempo, but in the end everything is allowed, as there are no barriers when it comes to expressing yourself through music. 

In addition to playing music, he launched a downtempo party series in his hometown Düsseldorf "fete.de.la.legende" with Malte van de Water. 

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

fid codo [Journey Series]

Darkening Effect. That is the name of the third album by Prague-based producer Otus Hobst. Once again, it resists easy genre classification. Drifting somewhere between DnB, Synthwave and Minimal Techno, it also carries distant echo of electric guitars.

The album is a glance back toward the closing years of the last millennium in many ways. It resembles soundtrack to a video game that was never released or a film that was never made. Over the course of 38 minutes, it unfolds a world that for many already belongs to the past — yet, as this record clearly shows, not everyone has forgotten.

This music refuses to follow modern trends and exists entirely on its own terms. Some might argue that it does not know what it wants to be.... It knows exactly! Above all, it wants to be a tribute to the greats of 1990s video game soundtracks.

Some projects shout; others whisper into being. Magician On Duty is the quiet kind. Launched by Adrian in 2016, the name hangs like a note on the door: someone’s here, something’s unfolding—stay if you’re patient. It rewards attention over haste, hinting that endings might arrive slowly, or not at all.

The path was deliberate narrowing: slower tempos by design, softened edges, focus on passage rather than arrival. Sets became long, unbroken lines—anticipation to suspension to gentle release, no forced peaks. Early hours once sidelined became the emotional core; silence, tension, and
space turned into essential language.

The project soon spread beyond performance. The Magician On Duty label, started the same year, has quietly gathered over 12 million streams, 840 playlist placements, 7.7 million reached listeners, 340 chart entries, and nearly 70,000 followers across platforms. Deep support comes from Paco Osuna, Damian Lazarus, Nick Warren, John Digweed, Hernan Cattaneo, Acid Pauli, Mira, Matthias Meyer, Madmotormiquel, Eelke Kleijn, Sébastien Léger, Audiofly, YokoO, Lost Desert, Kora, The Organism.

Metrics are only the shadow. Recent years brought five Beatport #1s, consistent Top 100 entries, and front-page features in Deep House, Organic House, Downtempo, and Indie Dance. Growth flows from coherence, not novelty—every release echoing the same calm reverence for timing and restraint.

Adrian carries this spirit globally: sets across Europe, North America, Caribbean, Middle East—clubs, festivals, deserts, pop-up cities. Shared decks with YokoO, Tim Green, Brian Cid, Nico Stojan, David Hohme, Robbie Akbal, Dave DK—fellow believers in duration and patience Key gravitational points: Burning Man (2019–2022), playing camps like Opulent Chill, Pink Mammoth, Vampire Empire, Square One (Eden Art Car), where listening became a communal ritual. Other stops—Love Burn (Miami), SXM Festival (St. Maarten), Bucht der Träumer (Germany), Echoes From Agartha (Türkiye), Playa Playground (Las Vegas), Richkovyi Rave (Ukraine)—expand the map without breaking the spell.

The connecting thread is method: no spectacle, tracks placed like careful sentences, meaning rising in the silences between, endings left open as if the story simply continues elsewhere. Adrian shapes every layer—sound, visuals, atmospheres, words—all in quiet conversation. Since 2016: no rush, no shortcuts, no myths. Just a patient, attentive practice that keeps unfolding wherever people still listen.
