Blitz Live : Richard Akingbehin : 22/03/2025

Richard Akingbehin – the tasteful selector known for his engrossing, soothing soundscapes and the driving force behind Berlin’s Refuge Worldwide and Kynant Records – made his Blitz debut in late March 2025, playing alongside DVS1 and Ogazón. A night shaped by deep cuts, subtle shifts and tactile Techno!

We’re pleased to share a recording of the first half of his opening set – and took the chance to ask Richard a few questions about the night, too: find them in our Blitz Magazine:

Blitz Live : Richard Akingbehin : 22/03/2025

Summer, summer, summer always funn(i)er! With the arrival of our favorite season, we're really excited to welcome one of Stockholm's rising stars to the series - Celadon.

Over the past year, Celadon (a.k.a. Amanda), has graced the capital's latest household party, Stilio, with her unique, trippy, deep and carefully selected downtempo vibes and established herself as a DJ-to-watch in the process. In that same vain, we're honored to present a mix that captures the essence of what Celadon is all about. Truly inspiring, if you ask us. As always enjoy the mix and viel, viel Spaß<3

There’s something profoundly healing in the music of French duo Javier Salazar, whose output embodies the true medicinal power of sound. 

This mix takes our mind’s eye into the sunshine - grass between our toes, spliff in hand - as we get intimate with the scoops, wrapped in a warm, enveloping blanket of sound.

We hope this beautiful contribution brings you an hour of peace, just as it has for us many times over the past month. Thanks, Leo & Simon <3

Today's guest mix arrives as the perfect soundtrack to these scorching summer days that seem to stretch on endlessly, capturing the vibrant energy and laid-back vibe of the season. We welcome Vakula, a leading figure in the Ukrainian electronic music scene.

The journey began in 1998, behind the decks of a local radio station, where Vakula played drum & bass and trip-hop sets for a handful of night listeners. By 2004, he was already diving into the deep waters of dub techno, drawn not by fashion, but by a persistent inner frequency.
Soon after, Vakula moved to the capital — a city now at war — where he spent eleven formative years. The original plan was simple: earn enough money to reach a Buddhist monastery in Tibet. But life, borders, and timing had other ideas. Instead, he stayed and followed sound.
Over the years, Vakula became part of the underground scene, eventually becoming a resident at iconic clubs such as Propaganda and Zeppelin, while also playing in many of the legendary venues of that era. By 2008, music had turned into a passport, taking him across continents to places where electronic sound truly thrived.
Genre was never a boundary. Jazz, rock, hip-hop, ambient, house, techno, drum & bass — everything served the same purpose: to explore, to feel, to connect. In 2011, he returned to his small hometown and built an analog studio, carving out space to listen more deeply.
Over time, the surface of the global scene began to feel thinner, less sacred. In 2020, he stepped back from performance and immersed himself in a three-year exploration of shamanic practices — not for spectacle, but for personal insight. This inner work changed his relationship with sound, and opened up new levels of depth, stillness, and presence in his music.
By 2025, Vakula let go of the path of the spirits, realizing that some stories are not his to walk. Vakula returned, not to where he started, but to a clearer understanding of his role: to keep listening, to keep creating, and to stay honest in sound.
Through it all, Vakula remains one of the early pioneers and enduring voices in the Ukrainian electronic scene — not the mainstream one, but a world of his own: where forest replaces the city center, where meadows stand in for mindless entertainment, and where trees are steadier than fleeting friendships. His connection to Ukraine has never been about slogans. It’s a quiet, unwavering love — for the land, for the people who still feel, and for his hometown of Konotop, which lives in every frequency he shapes.

Tracklist:
1. Vakula - Thaw of the Silent Peak
2. Jonn Serrie - The Observation Deck

Deep Breakfast 319 ~ Vakula

"A lucid dream is a dream in which a person becomes aware that he or she is dreaming, and it then becomes quite different from an ordinary dream. For one thing, it can be strikingly realistic - to the point of producing a convincing replica of the normal physical world - and for another, it has its own psychological characteristics and range of emotional reactions, which must be considered independently of those experienced in normal dreaming."

Spanish sonic alchemist Camu joins us on the series with a deep session recorded at Lucid Dreams at Espacio Perpendicular, a Madrid-based event space he co-founded with like-minded individuals who share a beautiful ear for the more obscure shades of electronic music.

The Observatory - Camu @ Lucid Dreams, 2025

Between the here and the hereafter, the world burns as strings are pulled from unseen hands, every gesture authored elsewhere, every shadow mistaken for the thing itself, and what feels like freedom is only a script, already rehearsed.

For our 13th mix installment ~ a special recording of JdB playing live on the opening night of this year's Gradient Campout in Johnson Valley, CA, thrown in collaboration with our homies eternal PrintShop.

New Palm 13: JdB

Continuum: a coherent whole characterized as a collection, sequence, or progression of values or elements varying by minute degrees.

There are moments in time that encapsulate and represent everything this project stands for. Connection through music, friendship, trust and creativity. Sharing via sound and etching magical moments and experiences in our minds. And thanks to Perpendicular, we might run out of space to store these experiences sooner than we thought. 

Some times music can't be explained and moments can't be captured. But also, some other times, someone was thoughtful enough to record. And luckily, this time, the latter happened, and we have been blessed with the opportunity to share this one of a kind performance. 

Alex, Javi and Joan are a treasure. Connectors, multipliers, and those special types of characters that make all of us grow a bit more. They nurture people and scene around them. And this time, they chose to tell the story of the story that was going on and at the story place itself.  Of course, with their twist. With an approach to art that does not compromise on craftsmanship to deliver a witty, psychedelic and mind altering performance. 

I will leave it to them to explain: 

"RARs is a happy idea brought to life by ameeva, Javi, and Joan Gila. They call themselves modern-day jesters, and this little equation captures their essence perfectly.

Dadicated to “la querida cabaña” 

Setup:
ameeva: Expressive E Osmose + Electron Digitakt
Joan Gila: G&L Tribute Legacy + Strymon Big Sky + Landscape Ferrous 
Javi: Chase bliss Mood + Chase Bliss Gen Loss + OTO Boum + Ipad 
Tascam model 12 + mic Shure SM57LC

This live is a heartfelt tribute to our favourite room in Perpen — a truly magical space.

It is from this very place that a parallel story arises — one absent from Cervantes’ written pages, yet whispered among the wisest and most hidden tongues. They say that once, during a peculiar detour and a wildly psychedelic journey, Sancho Panza and Don Quixote stumbled upon “La Cabaña”.

There, a druid and a paladin — as if summoned from some arcane legend — welcomed them warmly and invited them to spend the night. What followed, it is said, did not unfold in La Mancha, but in this very sanctuary of surreal encounters and mystical energy.

This tale is not found in the official texts, yet it lives on through oral tradition, echoed like a folk myth among those who know where to listen.

We are also sharing the English (Old-style) translation of the story (spoken word), as it is recited in Castilian Spanish.

Ariana's comment on her approach to the mix, and her accompanying photo  which is up on our IG [at] new.palm :

“This is a picture I snapped on a recent hike (very close but lucky safe from the Altadena wildfire destruction zone). The tangly dense vines hugging around a grove of trees symbolize to me an ecosystem free from the stains of humankind. In this set, I imagined the sounds of before, during, and after the Anthropocene. This set was cathartic because, in the process of layering these sounds, I reflected on feelings of climate grief and solastalgia. I hope you are able to listen on a walk or somewhere quiet 🍃”
