We couldn’t be more pumped to bring you podcast #143 from the master of seamless, rhythmic teasing and co-founder of Amenthia Recordings, Garçon.

Garçon stole our hearts at Paral.lel 2019 with the sublime, down-tempo, slow-build journey he artfully wove together. Experiencing that dance floor (its setting an idyllic spot in the Pre-Pyrenees mountains) come to life as we were elevated into a blissful haze, surrounded by fellow music lovers surrendering to the ride, was a moment we’ll never forget.

For us, the beauty of garçon is his ability to create seamless, continuously evolving journeys, to the point that the kick drums become one with your heart beat, where the synths and soundscapes engulf you until you and the music are no longer separate entities. You are one and the same, locked in a dance, pulsating with the rhythms of the universe, where time itself disappears. 

Garçon’s mix for On the 5th Day does all of this and more, inducing the ultimate trance-like state in his unique and stand-out signature style. We couldn't be more honoured to bring this absolute gem to you.

Thank you, Garçon!

On the 5th Day Podcast #143 - Garçon

This set was recorded in the National Park of Circeo on the 24.8.22 a few meters away from the Tyrrhenian Sea. There were 60 people audience lying on the sand, a few candles and a 4+1 Turbosound system.
I played my own productions including a few unreleased tunes.
Thanks to "Le Passeggiate Poetiche" and Exotique.it for making this possible.
Hope you enjoy the ride same as we did on that night.

The Monk recorded playing experimental music on his personal home stereo--a rather large Funktion-One system up in the mountains, tuned by his ears for his ears--for Mindgames at Balance. October 2021. Hodaigi Campground, Gunma, Japan. 

(Note: volume level is intentionally low at the beginning. Adjust your ears, not the volume.)

Mixer: Alpha Recording Systems 6700
Time: Saturday closing set after Wata Igarashi

To celebrate 20 years of building Labyrinths, we have decided to release one set from each of the last ten years. I've chosen ten timeless moments that both document the history of the event and provide a historical snapshot of underground electronic music over the past ten years.

We have chosen a broad range--from closing techno sets, to morning ambient sets, to experimental sets to close the night. Each set represents a different side of the event. Taken together, they present a portrait of a decade of music.

The Labyrinthの20周年を記念して、過去10年間を振り返り、それぞれの年からひとつのミックスをピックアップすることにしました。イベントの歴史を記録すると同時に、過去10年間のアンダーグラウンドエレクトロニックミュージックの歴史的なスナップショットを提供します。今聞いても色褪せない、タイムレスな極上のミックスをお楽しみください。

テクノのクロージングセットから、朝のアンビエントセット、そして夜を締めくくるエクスペリメンタルセットまで幅広いセレクトですが、どのセットもThe Labyrinthの欠かせない側面を表しており、ここ10年におけるエレクトロニック ミュージックの全容とも言えるでしょう。

Monument Festival 2022: Dorisburg & Efraim Kent hybrid

Rising from our collective slumber we embrace the new year refreshed and ready for new sonic territory. Our first guest of the year, Occa, hails all the way from Japan where he has made a name for himself throwing parties in Sapporo and DJiing at established events such as Labyrinth Festival and Future Terror. After meeting him and seeing what we deemed one of our favorite sets of 2022, it was only natural to invite him to contribute to UNRUSH. His style is expansive and possesses an air of experimental elegance, combining sonorous harmonies with washes of nocturnal noise and faint, mesmerizing melodies. We hope this mix will bring you into the new year with grace and calm.

Thanks a lot to https://soundcloud.com/oooccaaa

073 - Unrushed by OCCA

Long-time resident of The Labyrinth (Japan, @mindgameslaby), Hiyoshi’s vivid, contemplative ambient mixes draw together musical elements from a diversity of sources, yet retain a rare purity of emotion and atmosphere.

With Patterns of Perception 33 Hiyoshi aims to capture the essence of his most affecting sets of the past year, including at Sound Garden, Labyrinth, and One party, while also paying respect to friends and artists who’ve mentored and supported him.

The result is a lucid, ethereal selection, a dance in the diffuse sunlight, on the surface of the lake, always hinting at the depths below.
