We’re coming at you with podcast #142, beautiful people, this time with massive love and thanks to Polygonia, the deep techno, downtempo and ambient artistic project of Lindsey Wang.

We adore the depth, versatility and originality that comes from the very core of Polygonia - a project which is the culmination of years of Lindsey’s musical experience, including her dedication to learning multiple acoustic instruments (violin, guitar, piano, sax), as well as her intrigue for and exploration of multiple genres and sub genres.

As one of the founders of the audiovisual platform, IO (together with Dycide and MTRL) - "a space for endless possibilities" - Lindsey is a musician and artist who truly embraces and celebrates the beauty of diversity and the ability to draw on the various musical influences we become immersed in over time to create a very personal, and very unique, creative output, encompassing so much that’s come before it.

The outputs of Polygonia are solidly grounded in deep and ambient; Lindsey can work some serious rhythmic magic and is never afraid to push boundaries which for us, makes her a stand-out artist with a magnetic musical personality.

As for her journey for On the 5th Day, all we’ll say is be ready for an array of stunning twists and turns, and mesmerising originality, magnifying the very essence of the Polygonia we’ve grown to love.

With love <3

CBDSH#135 - Zvrra

We warmly welcome Zvrra from Chicago as our first guest of relaunched Curated by Deep Space Helsinki guest mix series. She is an absolutely brilliant producer and a fantastic dj, who delivers us all a proper mix of trippy deep techno. Promoters, book her now, we want to hear more!

Bio:
Adrenaline-spiked video games have soundtracked the youth of millions global-wide for decades. Immersive worlds elevated by pulsing scores have long gripped imaginations, and Chicago techno producer, DJ and video game developer Zvrra is an artist whose dynamic craft can be credited to the console. It was Rockstar’s street racing game Midnight Club II that kick-started Zvrra’s love of techno’s sundry rhythms as the soundtrack featured a strong supply of cuts from esteemed producers.

Galvanized by her gameplay, she quickly began experimenting with her own sound. That was nearly two decades ago and Zvrra’s output has explored a multitude of genres and styles ranging from techno and house, to hip hop, dark ambient, tribal and industrial, with her being a deft hand in blending styles and crafting concept albums.

Since 2020, Zvrra has been breaking through the ranks and rising to prominence. Records such as her self-released Flow State techno EP bagged her high praise in all the right corners with Luke Slater, Umfang, Inigo Kennedy, Dustin Zahn and Ben Sims being among those to support her works. British techno linchpin Shifted is another who took notice, saving her a sought-after slot on his imprint Avian for her debut LP Bizzaroland. Released at the end of 2021, the absorbing, tension-driving nine-tracker spans ambient, techno and noise, and firmly secured Zvrra’s reputation as an artist in a world of her own in concocting distinct, intricate soundscapes. Beyond self-releases and record label dispatches, her music features on HBO Max’s South Side series as well as a TV commercial for the streaming giant.

As for DJing, Zvrra’s shrewd selections have largely been heard across the airwaves with regular guest slots on Rinse FM and The Lot, as well as being tapped by Dekmantel for its crowd-pulling podcast series. And as her productions continue to thud across dancefloors, she’s eager to clock in behind the booths of hallowed clubs and festivals worldwide.

While music production has taken precedence over video game development, in the near future fans of her sonic ammo will be able to explore her three-dimensional creations as she’s developing video games with plans to release them on Steam, Xbox and other major platforms.

Art Bei Ton Podcast 086: Aksamit
( @aksamit-music )

For the 86th episode of our podcast serie we're happy to invite Polish DJ, and dear friend Aksamit. She will perform at our birthday showcase in About Blank :// on the 16th of August so make sure to come see her if you're in town.

This recording is an extract from a set performed live at Cialo club in Warsaw. Tinted at times by minimal sounds, and at times by complex soundscapes, it is skillfully woven into an hypnotic, harmonious atmosphere.

Hope you will enjoy it as much as we did! 

More info about Aksamit:

Aksamit - from the Greek Heksámitos, meaning "composed of six threads",
has a rich and peculiar structure. Associated as purely soft and pleasant, more and more often seen in terms of a wrap the secret of unpredictability. Musically shaped towards deep and hypnotic sounds that change with the mood
and sense of the moment.

Resident of Wrocław's Ciało, Berlin’s Art Bei Ton, founder of the Affekt agency and the Velvet Vortex series. A teacher at the Instytut Dźwięku, Warsaw school of modern music. 

Her love for vinyl led her to the Berlin Tresor, in which she played during
the legendary Klubnacht and 'All You Need Is Ears' under the supervision of Dasha Rush.

On a daily basis, apart from music, she also runs the Kolorowy Wiatr brand,
in which she creates intentional jewelry made of natural stones.
