Escape Pods - a musical journey through the cosmos. 
Hosted by Ben Randm & Ralph Lawson 

Each episode a guest is offered an Escape Pod to leave our world behind. We ask them what music they’d put on their headphones as they; Blast Off, Experience Zero G, Flyby The Planets and make Final Contact before venturing on to discover Alien Worlds. We ask them to select a piece of music for our Escape Pods Platinum Disc and an experience of Planet Earth to take with them on their journey.

Paul is one of the most highly respected electronic music producers on the planet, best known for Orbital – the band started with his brother back in 1987.
Orbital have created some of the most memorable moments in dance music with an array of classic records over the years including Chime, Belfast and Halcyon On + On - becoming one of the only electronic music bands alongside The Chemical Brothers and The Prodigy to make it onto the main stages of major festivals. Including a game changing performance on the NME stage at Glastonbury in 1994, which has been listed as one of the 10 top sets of all time played at the famous festival. Paul even performed ‘Where is it Going’ with Professor Steven Hawking at the opening ceremony of the London Para Olympic games. 
Paul has also pursued a solo path during times away from the band - making music with artists including Robert Smith from The Cure and Vince Clarke from Depeche Mode, Yazoo and Erasure. He’s also an absolute gentleman and a scholar…

It was said that the music of the gods was the very heartbeat of creation, a symphony that echoed through the heavens and shaped the destiny of all beings. From the thunderous roar of Zeus's lightning bolts to the gentle whisper of Aphrodite's sighs, every aspect of existence was infused with the divine melody. Check out our latest work of art.

Oslated Universe Live 09 - Adhémar

* Live set recorded during the event "Fate of Scitalis" organised by rêveries at Reset in Brussels, Belgium (13th of April, 2024).

Adhémar is a multi-disciplinary artist, establishing his universe through music and visual works.
Constantly in search of the luminous quality of sounds, in a world made of shadows and light, his music is closely linked to his plastic work. 
This obsession with shadows leads him to think and create spaces, atmospheres that focus on the lightness and poetry of light. The idea of "narrative potential of music", allows us to confront the psychological and philosophical journey with a particular relationship on what is alive and what surrounds us (whether it is the material, immaterial world, the fact that everything is constantly becoming). With a particular rigour for transitions, whether in his own production or in his DJ set, his universe is built little by little, with the passing of sound transformations and the light and poetic transportation of it all.
