It started as a winter postcard of Home, a snowy day in Germany, on 16th of January, a longing extension of an August rainy day and heartfelt goodbyes, and that’s when our beloved Vladimir Ivkovic sent us a love note and a hug through his sound.
One of the most special people opened our hearts with his very special mix and now we are at bliss!

@blissblissblissss is back with a very special mix series starting with #001 - Vladimir Ivkovic.

Moses' intentions are guided not by a specific genre but more of a feeling — a freakiness embedded in misfit machine music scattered across the decades.

Ina Kacz - 28th November 2025

How can one make their own personal development and artistic process explicit, and in doing so, use that to collaborate with people around them? 
Acknowledging that one’s personality and sonic interests are ever-changing, diverse, and versatile takes centre stage in “xcepting,” where xceptor, the show’s namesake, engages in a musical discourse with fellow artists and musicians that deepens and expands both his and their practice. Be it a b2b with somebody whose worlds have the potential to colour each other, or a wholly-focused action in which the invited can take the reins, the Rotterdam-based DJ/Producer creates a space for musical exploration with whoever he feels creatively aligned with in that particular moment. 
Although these two hours largely remain grounded in electronic music, expect the occasional endeavour into music’s outer realms.
