I:Cube live au Forum des Halles, Paris, 18 Mai 2019.

A few words by I:Cube. 
I've always been collecting records—for the pure essence of music, of course, as a sound source for sampling, for my DJ sets in various clubs, and, not to forget, for the weird and captivating album covers.
During my teenage years, I had a unique Saturday tradition. I would explore Parisian public libraries in search of unknown records to feed my sampler. 
Records were expensive, and without the internet, apart from the radio, this was my way of discovering new music and refining my musical taste.

Fast forward more than three decades, a serendipitous encounter took place with Damien Poncet, a cultural mediator who works at the Médiathèque Musicale de Paris. This remarkable institution boasts an impressive collection of over 100,000 records. 
Following an extensive conversation, a captivating idea emerged: to craft a musical composition using samples from this vast vinyl archive. 
The grand stage selected for this daring concert? None other than the iconic Forum des Halles, located in the heart of a historic Parisian district. Once renowned as Paris' largest food market, bearing the moniker "le ventre de Paris," the Forum des Halles underwent a transformation into a massive shopping center in the early 1980s. 

Performing this diverse and otherworldly musical blend live at the very core of this consumer paradise was also an immense source of enjoyment and highly surreal.
The concert was open to all, inviting anyone passing by to join in and listen.
This project was a golden opportunity to pay tribute to Paris's public libraries in a place rich with history and full of personal memories.

Many thanks to Damien Poncet and the entire team at the Médiathèque Musicale de Paris. Additionally, I want to express my gratitude to Géraldine Hervé-Dannhauer, Mehdi Herzberg, Stéphane Laporte, Patrick Santos, and all the students from the Ecole Estienne in Paris, who contributed to the visual performance inspired by a selection of record covers during the show.
Music written, produced and performed by Nicolas Chaix.

Versatile records.

Off Course - a new mixtape series by Sentinel Island Disco.
No algorithms. No directions. Just instinct.
Each episode drifts away from the expected, guided only by feeling.
Uncharted rhythms, obscure gems, and sonic rituals from across the globe.
You're off course now—stay lost.

For the inaugural edition, we've invited DJ, producer, crate digger pur sang and dear friend MLiR. He delivered a mix that plays like a mirage: humid, pulsing, and slightly out of reach. Dusty rhythms rise like heat from sunbaked earth, synths shimmer like moonlight on black water, and low-slung basslines guide us through jungle clearings.

Nothing here is rushed. Tempos stretch and sway. Each track is a step deeper into the unknown, stitched together with a gentle hand and an ear tuned to atmosphere over genre. Synth pop melts into dream-state house, lo-fi textures wash against crystalline grooves, and the edges blur—until all that’s left is feeling.

This is what it means to go Off Course: no algorithms, no directions, just intuition—and a desire to get beautifully lost.

With Sam Don in France, Marco the genius behind MLiR stepped up for a full takeover of Free Association.  But rather than do the usual 2-hours, in a first for FA, he went above and beyond, delivering 4 hours of sonic delights! 

Cut to only 2 hours when it went out live on radio, this is the full fat version with all four delectable hours!

Free Association #37 w/ MLiR Takeover - May 2025

The Swedish superduo Einar Christoffersson and Marco Gegenheimer broke through in 2016 via their EP "Swedish Lo-Life," released on the eclectic Studio Barnhus label. Born from a love of heavily dug DJ sets, late-night studio sessions, and live organic elements; they channel a whole universe of stories.
MLiR always has something to say through their sounds, constantly expanding their musical journey. They’ve had varied support during the years from DJ Harvey, Hunee, Antal, Kamma & Masalo, Laurent Garnier, Axel Boman, Lipelis, Jonny Rock, Danilo Plessow, Gilles Peterson, DJ Koze, Roman Flügel, Move D, Nicola Cruz, Haai, and Prins Thomas, to name a few.
The MLiR SoundCloud page is filled with mixes for NTS, DHA, Dekmantel, Dekmantel Selectors, Planet Trip, Kiosk Radio, Worldwide FM, Krossfingers, and others. With releases on Marco and Arnau Obiols’ own Taf Kif Records, Ibadan, and Shall Not Fade, 2024 brought to light their debut album, a 16-track double LP, once again, on home base Studio Barnhus.
Marco (the DJ of MLiR), who was behind the online record store Magic Teapot Records, runs the party ”Calamari Rolls Royce” at the hyped Club Malasaña in Madrid on a regular basis. More to come is another album for Maher Daniel, Bill Patrick, and Jesse Roig's newly started Stratasonic Records; more edits on Smutty Edits; plus one more album for Music From Memory in 2026. MLiR are not tucking themselves under any sombreros!"
