Another fortunate live recording which stands in for a busy schedule. A midnight express type escapade whilst on a family trip to Istanbul = a quick session at Gizli Bahçe! A hilly ride, like the streets of Cihangir. Taking on the eastern vibe from a westerner's stance, still trying to keep true to the essence of trance. Special thanks to old friend Minas for the hook up with Koray and big shout to Baris K…

Old friends and hapless mavericks Ivan Smagghe and Nathan Gregory Wilkins present a fortnightly window into their ramshackle musical world. A show with absolutely no rules (as they'd only break them). We love the unmixable, old & new. We are oddballs and we love you.

Leya Touch & soFa elsewhere aka Dream Baby Dream combine their left-of-centre musical perspectives on an otherworldly new self-titled album that arrives on Hell Yeah this September and will get a Japanese domestic release on CD. The duo's beguiling mix of occult synths and treated vocals ride dubbed-out mid-tempo rhythms on a retro-futurist record that blends cold wave, cosmic disco, dub and trance.

Dream Baby Dream describes themselves as "two children who refused to grow up" and now they offer a glimpse into their very own fantastic land of dreams. This journey into diverse flavours spontaneously started after a cosy dinner and after just three sessions resulted in the album presented here. Playful yet sometimes gloomy, this music echoes life, both imaginary and real - the highs, the lows, the dark moments and the joy, trance-inducted love zones, daydreams and everything in between. It is a coherent hole but one filled with surprising turns, moments of deja vu and plenty of outsider dance floor delights.

Leya Touch is a rising voice and live act on the Brussels alternative scene. Together with soFa, a veteran DJ and producer who released on many forward-thinking labels worldwide, they provide signature vocals and synths that challenge typical genre categorisations.

Opener 'Love Zone' sets a strangely seductive basic channel vs dreamy pop vibe with wispy cosmic melodies and oodles of echoes as Touch's vocals draw you in. Lose limbed percussive jumbled and sci-fi motifs define 'Badalamenti On Fries', 'Curry Con Sax' has an avant-guard sense of soul and melodic curiousness and 'Diskoteka' is a jittery mix of retro synth sounds and whispered vocal coos that shimmer like stars in the night sky. Elsewhere there's the malfunctioning Kraftwerkian electronics of 'Körperkonsum', goa-filter madness of 'Banana Trance' and the eerie interplanetary dub of 'Carpenter On The Beach' while 'Whale Rider' and 'The Rude Red Lady' bring warped lines and enchanting vocalisations that sound like nothing you have heard before.

This is an exultant album of new musical rituals, tiny soundscapes, dehumanised words and combinations of the past, present and future that never fail to excite and intrigue.

Dream Baby Dream - Love Zone

Hing is a special figure in the Zurich music scene, not only because he  mostly plays with vinyl, but also because his taste is a wonderful conglomeration of what defines this city. He takes listeners on a nostalgic journey between 80s and 90s vibes, entangled with modern psychedelic elements. Maintaining a smoothly dynamic flow, Hing sweeps between melodramatic tendencies and a delightful fusion of Kraut, Oldschool Hip Hop gems, Broken Beats, and Shoegaze. The grandeur of a city is reflected in its top DJs. There is a deep admiration for his selection from the team at Lustpoderosa, and a warm welcome to his newly compiled mix featuring gems from around the world. Dive in boldly, dear.

Hypersigil✨ 03 w/ Mariana Carvalho and Zach Hart

Sharing Stories is the title track from my upcoming EP, out 15 August 2025. This track captures the magic of connection through music - those moments when words aren’t needed, and the energy between the DJ and the crowd creates something unforgettable.

With warm, evolving melodies and a steady groove, Sharing Stories invites you into a space of openness and emotional flow. It’s inspired by nights where music becomes its own language, a shared experience that transcends everything else.

POPCORN

Este álbum se despliega como un tejido sonoro que entrelaza lo espiritual con lo terrenal, invitando al oyente a un recorrido donde cada tema es una estación en un viaje contemplativo. La selección de piezas revela un equilibrio entre introspección, movimiento y pausa, articulando un relato que fluye con naturalidad pero que no teme a la fragmentación, como si el tiempo mismo se doblara en pequeñas escenas musicales.

El comienzo con **“oto no inori”** abre un espacio casi ritual. Su título, que evoca la idea de una “oración del sonido”, se traduce en una atmósfera meditativa y envolvente. Los timbres parecen flotar como mantras electrónicos, creando un paisaje en el que el oyente se sumerge lentamente. Es una introducción que prepara los sentidos, estableciendo un tono espiritual y etéreo.

En **“Residual Steps”** el foco se desplaza hacia el movimiento. Se perciben patrones rítmicos que sugieren pasos que quedan grabados en la memoria, huellas que no se desvanecen del todo. El tema combina repetición y variación, logrando un balance entre lo mecánico y lo humano, como si el avance se diera en círculos que dejan rastros.

La transición a **“Residual Transit”** intensifica esta idea de trayecto. Aquí los sonidos evocan desplazamientos continuos, un viaje en tránsito que nunca termina de llegar a destino. Las capas melódicas se cruzan como caminos superpuestos, reforzando la noción de desplazamiento físico y mental. Es una pieza que transmite movimiento, pero también cierta suspensión, como si viajáramos en un tren interminable.

**“Solitary Sequence”**, en este contexto, adquiere un carácter diferente al de su aparición en el otro álbum. Aquí se percibe como un punto de concentración: un patrón aislado que recuerda al pulso interior de la soledad. Su minimalismo aporta un contraste, un momento de recogimiento frente al dinamismo de los temas anteriores.

Con **“Static Harmony”** se abre un espacio más abstracto. La armonía parece suspendida en el aire, como si estuviera quieta y en movimiento al mismo tiempo. Es una exploración de la tensión entre estabilidad y transformación, un estado de contemplación donde la escucha se convierte en observación del detalle.

Finalmente, **“Velvet Interlude”** cierra el recorrido con suavidad y calidez. Como su nombre indica, funciona como un interludio aterciopelado que deja una sensación de caricia sonora, un epílogo que no busca un final rotundo, sino una disolución suave y elegante.

En conjunto, el álbum es una meditación sobre el viaje y la huella, sobre el tránsito y la pausa. Cada pieza ofrece un matiz distinto, pero juntas construyen un universo donde lo residual se convierte en memoria sonora, y lo estático en movimiento interior. Es una obra que invita a escuchar no solo con el oído, sino con la sensibilidad completa.
