Totally encompassing the many facets of the electronic dance scene, or at least my take on it lol. The bar is being set higher almost weekly the amount and quality of great music just gets better imo, which is no bad thing!  As ever mixed up in the OLRS style, playing whatever's clever and  the like. 
Repping my EMOTEC label and the extended family in this show as just a little taster of what's in store over the next few months, hope ya dig!

Prepare yourself. The Kajunga Program Season 5 Finale will pull you deep into the shadows. In Hyperkarma’s second ever studio mix, she guides us through a long, dark chasm haunted by corroded rhythms, menacing synths, and supernatural textures. But fear not, for at the end of this gloomy tunnel is a light - the light of all lights - and it’s calling out for your very soul.

VA - Eleventh  Listen Teaser [2021]

Macaulay Sulkin was back with special guest Jaidee taking us on a sonic journey of UK Club sounds - breaks, jungle and leftfield percussion all inside.

Macaulay Sulkin w/ Jai Dee - November 2021

Co-creator of the Zone Rouge collective (@zone-rouge-zone-rouge) and programmer for the Macadam Club in Nantes (@androgyneproductions), Aasana (@aasana) is a free electron who knows how to draw on a crowd's energy to open a passage towards different worlds, where breaks and IDM would make hope and nostalgia coexist. It is a real treat to experience her performances, generously overflown with all her diverse sensibilities and infused with bass music and organic techno.

In this session, she takes us in a free fall down her imaginary, venturing inside a dark cenote in the heart of the rainforest, where the intensity of tribal rhythms, heavy bass and supernatural sounds resonate together.

~ tracklist incoming... ~

)))


The cenotes are places of geological curiosity that link the surface to the underground by the collapse of limestone soils, thus giving access to dark aquatic caves. 

Considered as passages to the afterlife by the Mayans who practiced there rituals and offerings, they are also unique natural spaces with dense fauna and flora, including several endemic species. These ecosystems are affected by mass tourism and inappropriate agro-industrial practices, threatening them with toxic chemicals and saline water. The impact of these pollutions have very deleterious effects on both the ecosystems and the local farming communities who rely on the cenotes for drinking water. 

The recognition of these phenomena has allowed some cenotes to be placed under institutional protection, even if some conflicts of interest with the tourist economy are emerging. Some local populations are also fighting for the protection of these sources of life.

Igloo Magazine is an electronic music e’zine publishing articles about current, classic and upcoming music from around the globe. Our mission is to introduce readers to the burgeoning undergrowth of electronic musicians by covering a wide range of genre’s including ambient, experimental, dub, dubstep, shoegaze, electro, techno, drone, IDM, industrial, post-industrial, and all the debris in between. Pulling together a vast tapestry of like-minded contributors, the virtual Igloo doors officially opened December of 2000. We consistently seek to provide coverage for musicians creating left-of-center music that is not necessarily covered in general music media. Igloo Magazine publishes articles in the capacity of Newswires, Reviews, Features and Profiles for artists that wouldn’t normally receive the light of digital ink.

Online label from Portland, Oregon serving up electronic music. Deep vibes, sound design elements, with influences from ambient, idm, electro, breakbeat, techno and more.

Artists contributing from around the world to serve up unique sounding tracks that occasionally cross genres.
