This is maybe the most unexpected show I performed so far. The Next is a little nightclub located in the middle of the historical centre of Strasbourg. It's a neat venue, with a nice staff and a good sound-system, but one can say it's very mainstream music-driven, so the odds to hear experimental, or even electronica stuff there is near zero.

Actually that was quite a challenge for me to adapt my style to this peculiar place. I had to find the right balance between my usual weird no input sounds, and some more musical/danceable elements, so I wouldn't lose the whole audience instantly. Turned out it worked pretty well, as people looked like they were really enjoying the moment. Interestingly, the most receptive were the younger part of the audience. I remember that the deeper we went into the expedition, the larger was the physical separation between the older ones, chatting and smiling in the background, and the younger ones, nervously dancing and headbanging just in front of me.

Thank you very much Nico, Mich-Mich and all the Kollectiv Wolfgang for trusting me and making this weird crossover of genres happen, thank you Ricardo for the great conversation, thank you Flipper for hosting the party, and thank you Crash Server for recommanding my name to the team. It was both a fun and interesting project to work on.

PS: The water sound you can hear in the beginning comes from the entrance of the Next.

Expedition 20: SXB2 (Next) [Intro]

Nerf is an interpretation of Remedios Varo’s Armonía (Autorretrato Sugerente) — a tension between control and chaos, reality and illusion.
Built on gritty textures and evolving rhythms, it blends organic and mechanical energy into a hypnotic flow.
A soundscape where creation itself feels alive. ⚙️

approaching silence

Hubble Time opens with the distant hum of space — a dark and organic atmosphere that slowly pulls you in.
The track unfolds through fluid progressions and subtle transitions, building towards a hypnotic climax.
Its groove, reminiscent of Laurent Garnier’s deep techno pulse, carries a timeless energy — repetitive yet alive, mechanical yet emotional.
The main synth acts as a gravitational hook, shaping the entire universe around it.
Minimal FX, clean textures, and a clear mix give the piece its spatial depth and clarity within the Timelaps album.
When it ends, the emotion lingers — like an echo lost somewhere between time and infinity
