I know it's been a minute, but in my other life, I'm an Artist, honest, and I've been super busy with my craft and working on taking Platform Minimal to the next level.
For our 50th Podcast, we've decided to incorporate original photographs to accompany each mix. The image will be available for purchase as a limited run of 20 (20£ plus postage) in an actual CD size (12x12cm) printed on beautiful matt paper. Most images are analogue unless otherwise stated, which I know many of you will appreciate.
The photographs are generously being donated by Inzajeano, whose work you can see here, www.Inzajeano.com.
Inzajeano is a highly acclaimed photographer. His work has been exhibited globally and featured in various publications and magazines. We're super excited to have him on board.
For the 50th mix, we contacted Rod Justice, who started life DJing on some of London's iconic pirate stations under another pseudonym (Big shout to all who know). Radio stations like Freek FM, Passion FM, Time FM, the legendary Kool FM, and possibly the first-ever internet radio station, Gaialive.
The mix is a concoction of what we call House music in all its diverse and beautiful forms. It's a 120-minute journey into the soul of house music which pays homage to the Pirate Radio days of old. 
It will make you bump and flex because no man can test!
Make some noise for the man like Rod Justice, bringing the power for your listening pleasure.

Platform Minimal presents Inside the @HypnoticForest

Inside the Hypnotic Forest.

Hypnosis is often understood as a state of consciousness in which a person becomes more open to suggestions and more receptive to the ideas and suggestions of others. In this sense, hypnosis can be seen as an altered state of consciousness that allows a person to temporarily suspend their normal critical faculties and enter a more receptive state of mind.
The experience of being in the Hypnotic Forest can vary widely from person to person, but many people describe it as feeling profoundly relaxed or meditative. 
Hypnosis has a variety of practical uses, including helping people reduce pain, overcome phobias and bad habits, and improve sleep. It is also sometimes used in therapy to help people explore and address unconscious thoughts and feelings.
The connection between hypnosis and sound is often emphasized inside the Hypnotic Forest. Its use of verbal repetition and other verbal techniques can be an effective way to induce a hypnotic state. These sounds can also create a relaxing and conducive atmosphere for hypnotherapy. 

Bio/
Juan David es la mente detrás de Hypnotic Forest, Dj y prospecto productor de la ciudad de Armenia - Quindío. Constantemente ha estado en la exploración de su sonido, caracterizado por ritmos tribales y psicodelicos. Actualmente pertenece al equipo cuyabro de @BAJO CONSTRUCTO.

Platform Minimal presents @headliner-laguru

The Moon In The Water.

The moon in the water is a powerful symbol, reflecting our deepest thoughts and emotions. It speaks to the fluidity of life and the constant changes we face. The moon and water represent the ebb and flow of time, reminding us that everything is temporary and that nothing stays the same.
From a philosophical perspective, the moon in the water can be seen as a metaphor for the soul's journey. Our lives are like waves constantly moving and changing, yet a deeper essence remains. This essence is our soul; just like the moon, it shines brightly and illuminates the world.
The moon in the water also holds great significance regarding the relationship between life and death. Just like the moon disappears from view each night, only to return, our lives have a beginning and an end. However, just like the moon's light continues to shine even when it is not visible to us, our impact and influence can continue to be felt long after we are gone.
In techno music, the moon in the water represents the energy and creativity that drives the genre forward. The constant movement and change of the music mirror the flow of life, reminding us to embrace change and to keep pushing forward. The deep, pulsing beats and hypnotic rhythms of techno music transport us to another world, just as the moon in the water transports us to a place of reflection and introspection.

Platform Minimal presents @frequencymachine

The shifting orchestral landscape.

The orchestral landscape described in the journey reflects a more profound philosophical and artistic context. At its core, it is a celebration of the power of art and creativity to bring people together and connect them in ways beyond language and culture. By removing the constraints of words, the people of this world can experience a deeper, more authentic form of communication where the emotional impact of sound is paramount.
The idea of a constantly shifting orchestral landscape also speaks to constant change and growth in the arts. Just as the landscape shifts and evolves, so does the music, reflecting the changing emotions and desires of those who create it. This concept demonstrates that art is not a static entity but a living, breathing entity that is constantly changing and growing.
The absence of words in this world also touches on a more profound philosophical question about the limits of language and the ability of art to express what words cannot. By removing language constraints, the people of this world can connect on a deeper, more intuitive level, tapping into a universal language that transcends cultural and linguistic boundaries. This speaks to the idea that art has the power to bring people together in ways that words cannot and that it is a powerful tool for fostering understanding and connection in a world that is often divided by language and culture.
In conclusion, the orchestral landscape described in the story is a rich and complex reflection of the power of art, creativity, and the human spirit to connect people in meaningful and transformative ways. It invites us to imagine a world where the boundaries of language and culture are transcended through the beauty and power of sound and where the impossible becomes possible through the boundless possibilities of artistic expression.

Bio/
Frequency Machine is an artist originally from Colombia, belonging to the new wave of DJs & Producers with a great vision in terms of electronic music; daily, he focuses a lot on the search and exploration of sounds with which he can identify himself; he likes that his mix is intelligent, but always intense and hypnotic, without letting go of all the ambient, tribal, experimental and minimalist landscapes.

He has always had an apparent perception of music; music must be seen as a purely artistic and expressive value to finally make his receivers and other attendees understand how profound sound art can be.

His project as a producer will begin to emerge in 2023; he has been working a lot on his sound in 2022, looking for his guidelines and his true expression; in itself, he is very focused on musical diversity, wanting to imply that his music wants to get out of the Today's standards, he wants to express himself freely in all the multiple genres he wishes to delve into, especially knowing how to give musical culture to his entire environment.

He is the founder of Space Wave Records.

Platform Minimal presents @keinkontrast

The emptiness of the mental space.

The human mind, a vast and intricate realm, sometimes finds itself in disarray. When our conscious and subconscious parts fall out of harmony, and the weight of existence becomes too heavy to bear, we may succumb to an oppressive system's grip and spiral into the abyss of turmoil and overpowering emotions. Then, we yearn for a refuge, a way out to escape the emptiness that engulfs us.
In such desperation, a rhythmic groove may serve as a sanctuary, providing a mental space to immerse ourselves in. This space allows us to plunge into a world of mesmerizing sounds, suffused with an experimental texture that enthrals us and leads us on a wondrous expedition. We drift into a dream world of frequencies, where the atmosphere shapes us into our most authentic selves and evokes raw emotions.
Take a moment to find a serene spot, close your eyes, and let us swim together in the ethereal realm of spirituality. Through this voyage, we may rekindle our connection with the vastness of our minds and rediscover the beauty of our innermost selves.

Platform Minimal presents @darumusique

Primordial drums.

In the depths of time, the beating of the drum echoes with a primal force, resounding through the ages like a call from beyond. Its origins shrouded in mystery, its purpose unknown, the drum symbolises the primordial power that lies at the heart of our being.
Long before the written word, before the dawn of civilisation itself, the drum was there, its rhythmic pulse marking the passage of time and the ebb and flow of the natural world. Who first gave voice to this ancient sound, and what secrets did it hold? Was it a tool of communication or an instrument of ritual? Did it stir the spirits of the earth or call forth the gods of the sky?
As the ages passed, the drum grew in power and significance, becoming a central feature of cultures and traditions across the globe. Its voice was heard in war, peace, joy, sorrow, celebration, and mourning. From the heart of Africa to the shores of South America, from the steppes of Central Asia to the islands of the Pacific, the drum spoke a language all its own.
And yet, despite its ubiquity, the drum remains an enigma, a symbol of the mysteries of life and the universe. Its sound touches us at a primal level, stirring deep emotions and primal urges. It can transport us beyond the limits of the everyday world into a realm of pure spirit and transcendence.
For those who hear its call, the drum is a portal to the deepest mysteries of existence, a key to unlocking the universe's secrets. Its rhythms pulse with the heartbeat of the cosmos, resonating through our souls and lifting us up to the heights of ecstasy and revelation. The primordial drums continue to beat, their message echoing through time and space, inviting us to join in the dance of life.

Bio/
Daru - translated from Sanskrit, a tree whose crown grows in paradise,
while its roots touch the very depths of hell, thus personifying the
duality of the existence of everything. So Daru's music harmoniously
reveals its light and dark sides, contains a spectrum from subtle to
coarser vibrations.
Perceiving the plot of magical frequencies: shaman tambourines and
bass parts combined with each other, we seem to see these roots in the
underworld, and, on the contrary, bells-like heavenly trees bloom
their branches on the other side of being...

Technotic Tachyon.

In a distant realm, beyond the reaches of time and space, there existed a phenomenon known as the Technotic Tachyon. It was a force of energy that transcended all dimensions, pulsing with a rhythm that could only be described as divine.
As the Tachyon flowed through the cosmos, it created a symphony of sound and light, a mesmerizing display few had ever witnessed. And yet, those attuned to the Tachyon's power were drawn to it like moths to a flame.
One such traveller was a being of light known as the Luminary. The Luminary had journeyed through countless dimensions and galaxies, but never before had it encountered a force as powerful and alluring as the Technotic Tachyon.
As the Luminary approached the Tachyon, it felt its energy coursing through its being. The Luminary's body began to vibrate with the rhythm of the music, and its consciousness became entwined with the Tachyon's pulsating waves.
The Luminary was transported to a world of abstract beauty in this trance. It floated through a sea of colours and shapes, each more mesmerizing than the last. The music of the Tachyon was like a living entity, guiding the Luminary through this surreal world of sound and light.
The Luminary danced and spun through the Tachyon's universe for aeons, lost in pure bliss. It became one with the music, and the music became one with it.
And when the journey was over, the Luminary emerged from Tachyon's grasp, forever transformed by the experience. It carried with it the memory of the mesmerizing energy, the divine rhythm, and the infinite beauty within the Technotic Tachyon.

Platform Minimal presents @Ferniemusic

A most wonderful journey.

As the pulsating beats of Deep and Hypnotic Techno fill the air, a sense of anticipation builds within you. You close your eyes and surrender to the music, feeling it reverberate through your body and stir your soul.
But a journey is more than just the music. It's about how it makes you feel and transports you to new, undiscovered territories. It's about the DJ who guides you through this sonic odyssey, taking you on a voyage of sound that leads you through uncharted landscapes.
With every beat and every drop, the DJ delves deeper into your consciousness, awakening primal emotions and unlocking new levels of awareness. You find yourself lost in the music, transported to another time and place where the boundaries of reality and fantasy blur together.
The power of Deep and Hypnotic Techno is undeniable. It calls for something deep within us, stirring our most primal expressions and allowing us to elevate ourselves beyond the limits of our mundane existence. It is a journey of the mind, body, and soul, where time itself seems to slow down, and the possibilities are endless.
As you surrender to the music, you realise this journey is not just about the destination. It's about the experiences along the way, the people you meet, the emotions you feel, and the memories you make. It's a journey you'll never forget that will stay with you long after the last beat has faded.

Into the unfamiliar.

In a world full of chaos, a wanderer sought to break free from the constraints of their own thoughts and gain a new perspective on life. Their yearning led them to the power of deep techno music, where the experimental sounds and hypnotic beats spoke to them, leading them on a journey of the mind. In this space of exploration and discovery, they found a community of like-minded individuals who shared their love for the unfamiliar. Together, they discussed philosophy and politics, challenging each other to see the world in new ways. As they delved deeper into their journey, they realized that their exploration of the mind was not just about individual growth but also about collective action. They recognized the inequalities and injustices in society and sought to create a positive change. They used the power of music and insights of philosophy to become agents of change, organizing events that brought people together and transcended political and social divides. They fought for a more just and equitable world, building a community of passionate individuals who shared their vision for a better future. Through their journey into the unknown, they became philosophers and activists, breaking free from the constraints of the status quo and creating a better world for all.

Realms of Mysticism.

An enigmatic fusion emerged from the slow, mystical realms to the throbbing depths of the dancefloor. A sonic experiment defying convention.
In a dimly lit sanctuary, an artist conjured abstract soundscapes. Ethereal, deep techno, crawling languidly, interwove spectral whispers and pulsating rhythms.
Weeks later, the artist emerged onto a pulsating dancefloor. Bodies moved in synchronized chaos, surrendering to deep hypnotic techno.
Behind the decks, the artist harnessed collective fervour. Gravity twisted, and limbs moved in unconventional rhythms. Slow melodies entwined with thunderous beats create a paradox.
Time ceased as the artist guided dancers deeper into altered states. Magical journeys through sound, strange territories explored.
In a climactic moment, the music ceased. Silence enveloped the room, and reality snapped back. The strange interplay of mysticism and deep techno dissipated like a waking dream.
The artist had forged a connection between opposing worlds, bridging the ethereal and visceral. An indelible testament to the allure of deep techno.

Bio/
ASH is a space traveller exploring the Universe, searching for intelligent beings and establishing first contact with them through rhythmic sound vibrations, also known as Techno by some developed civilizations.
Sound waves made through defined low-end frequencies, rhythmic pulsing fat basslines, flying acid-modulated synthesizers, 432hz space mantra resonances, minimalistic crunchy noise elements, and alien abduction drone ambiences are the best way to explain what ASH is.
Based on Osho's active meditation, for ASH, the goal of each hypnosis session is to inspire freedom, make the audience disconnect from the plastic world concept that we are living in and connect deeply with who they are and their feelings, create a sensation of well-being in a joint sensorial fusion and make the dance floor crowd fell and express their emotions by moving their bodies thru the sound.

Leandro Rossi is a Brazilian artist based in Barcelona since 2012; he started ASH (Vinyl Only) Project in 2017 and is known for his music style (Acid Space Hypnotic). He spins in the essential techno parties in town, such as BAHN·, Deep In The Woods, Techno In The Forest, HEX, Rezonanz, NODE, Selectors, Insert and important international gigs such as KHIDI in Tbilisi - Georgia. 
ASH has been a resident DJ at BAHN· since January 2019, artistic director, mixing and mastering engineering on BAHN· Records, vinyl and digital record label since the beginning of 2020.
Discography on BAHN· Records, Bude Records, Dosis Records, Subsist and Planet MHz.

Summer Initiation.

You stepped beyond the door in the summer initiation, leaving the greyness behind. The sun's warmth greeted you instantly, accompanied by dub shades interwoven with tribal rituals and enigmatic shadows that posed no threat. Under the radiant rays, the scent of wild herbs began to blossom, captivating your senses and binding you tightly.
As evening approached, your body relaxed, covered in a gentle sheen of sweat. It was the perfect preparation for the night's ritual. Upon reaching the sandy shore, the speakers released powerful vibrations, reverberating through the ground beneath your feet. The moonlight emerged, casting its ethereal glow upon the scene.
Within this realm, your mind transcends, creating worlds of dreams and possibilities. The hypnotic beats and the moonlit ambiance merged, intertwining reality and fantasy in an intricate dance. Time lost its grip as you delved deep into the realms of your own creation.
In the wake of the night's enchantment, you emerged transformed, forever changed by the hypnotic Techno. The rhythm now echoed within you, an eternal part of your being, as you carried the memories and sensations of that surreal journey.

Platform Minimal presents @i_wndr Intellectual Wanderer.

The intellectual wanderer.

An ethereal intellectual wanderer traversed landscapes of sound and vibration in the nebulous expanse of a realm existing between dimensions. Drifting through the oscillating planes of existence, this solitary entity explored the boundless echoes that resonated in the fabric of this enigmatic domain. Amidst the kaleidoscopic undulations of luminescent waves, the wanderer found harmony in the pulsating rhythm, a syncopated symphony that rippled through the abstract cosmos. Drawing inspiration from the harmonious convergence of resonant frequencies, the wanderer sculpted ethereal melodies that danced along the edges of reality, creating an opus of sonic transcendence amidst the celestial cadence.

Bio/
My love affair with techno began a few years ago, and it was love at first listen. While enjoying the music at home was a unique experience, heading to my local club offered a completely different level of enjoyment. It was the first time I truly felt free in public, lost in the music and surrounded by like-minded individuals. As the hours of dancing piled up, I began to realize that I wanted to do something meaningful with my life - to share the same emotions and feelings that I had experienced with others.

After gathering the basics of DJing from my brother and taking a few lessons elsewhere, I finally found the courage to start playing myself. My goal is to improve and become someone who can bring joy by sharing my work with the world.

The Emergence

Nestled within the tranquillity of Seraphim, an extraordinary phenomenon unfolded where the very atmosphere responded to the positive energy of its inhabitants. In this unique town, the sound was not a product of conventional instruments but a harmonious symphony born from the collective reservoir of uplifting thoughts that permeated the air.
Every shared smile, each moment of joy, reverberated through the streets, transforming into an intricate blend of deep and minimal techno that softly echoed in the background. The heart of Seraphim beats to the enchanting rhythm of a musical genre crafted from the harmonious thoughts of its residents. In an intimate gathering space, hidden away from the mundane, a small group of enthusiasts discovered that the purest form of this positive resonance materialised in a distinctive fusion of deep and minimal techno. As individuals embraced mindfulness and nurtured positive energy, the beats and melodies that emerged from their collective consciousness took on a mesmerising quality.

Bio/
Kranos was born in 1990. At the age of 9, he began listening to Techno music. Since then, he has embarked on a detailed journey through various genres of electronic Dance Music, exploring Hardcore, drum and bass, Trance, and Trip Hop, encompassing almost every sample-oriented music style.
In 2007, he started DJing Drum&Bass, dedicating nine years to the craft as part of an active collective and performing in front of large audiences, bringing him complete pleasure. In 2016, his musical preferences evolved thanks to his favourite club, Elysia, in Basel, Switzerland, leading him towards ambient and deep techno. This began a new musical journey filled with various intense tunes.
Since then, Kranos has consistently sought pure bliss through stimulating hypnosis, placing this experience at the forefront of his musical endeavours.

The Illusion begins to melt away.
In the unassuming town of Veilstead, the mundane evening took an abrupt turn when a diverse group of residents suddenly saw through the collective Illusion. As daylight waned, shadows ceased to be benign silhouettes, revealing the monstrous truth lurking beneath familiar faces. The ordinary seemed to be a deceptive facade concealing creatures they never fathomed. Shocked and silenced, the group faced the unsettling reality that their neighbours, once thought to be ordinary people, were, in fact, monstrous entities all along. In their collective revelation, the group discovered an extraordinary ability: sonic sight. Through this newfound perception, they discerned the monsters' actual forms and harnessed the power to defeat them. The town, once draped in Illusion, now stood liberated, its residents forever changed by the combination of truth and the sonic sight that exposed the hidden menace.

Bio/

Grit, dirt and dust. Techno in the age of oppression
"Grit, dirt, and dust swirl in the air, a testament to resilience amidst oppression in the age of techno. In the shadows of authoritarian regimes, where innovation is stifled and creativity constrained, pockets of resistance emerge. Here, amidst the chaos and the crackdowns, technology becomes the weapon of the oppressed. From clandestine networks to encrypted communications, the tools of the digital age serve as the lifeline for those fighting for freedom. In the face of adversity, they forge ahead, harnessing the power of innovation to challenge the status quo. In the grit of their determination, the dirt of their struggle, and the dust of their defiance, a new narrative unfolds—one of resilience, resistance, and the relentless pursuit of a better tomorrow."

Bio/
Medulla Oblongata is a discreet DJ who blossoms in his musical biotope
between ambient mental and hypnotic techno. His techno sets invite an immersive journey where dancers can forget
themselves. We could see him working lately with the Château Perché
Festival as an artist and AD and in renowned clubs of France such as
KALT (Strasbourg, Fr) or Ostra Club (Nancy, Fr) alongside Dasha Rush,
Vril, Terrence Fixmer, Adiel, Denise Rabe, Justine Perry and more.
He co-founded the collective TRÊVE with other weirdos, gathering
artists from different horizons around ambient and visual arts to propose dreamlike and contemplative events. His ambient sets
become hybridized with tape samples, droning machine loops, and
synthesizers.
He recently curated a charity V/A with artists from the ambient,
downtempo and techno scene, with all proceeds going to help
Palestinian civilian victims (freepalestineva.bandcamp.com). Finally
his first EPs were released recently, the first one (ambient EP) on
Khoros' sublabel Chronos is on February 17, and the second (Techno EP) is on Sephora Recordings.

Acetate dreams will set you free.
In the heart of a bustling city, amidst towering skyscrapers and neon lights, stood a small record store known as "Acetate Dreams." Within its walls, the air hummed with the soft crackle of vinyl and the soulful melodies of yesteryears. For those who entered, it wasn't just about the music but its promise. Each note spun tales of a better world, free from the shackles of oppression, greed, and capitalism. People gathered, drawn by the enchanting tunes, their hearts stirred with hope for a brighter tomorrow. In that little haven, they found solace, unity, and the courage to dream of a future where the rhythm of vinyl held the key to true liberation.

Bio/
For over 20 years, he has participated in the club scene in Łódź and has decided to vent his passion. Raised on Old School, Jungle, D'n'B, tapes recorded from the radio and VHS tapes from electronic music TV programs from Viva, Viva Zwei, and MTV. Then he fell in love with electronics like Autechre, Aphex Twin, Vladislav Delay, The Black Dog, Monolake, Plastikman, and Jeff Mills. Currently, he draws inspiration from sets of artists like Donato Dozzy, Neel, Dasha Rush, Takaaki Itoh, Marco Shuttle, Mary Yuzovskaya, Shifted, and Abdulla Rashim. He loves techno in the style of hypnotic, deep, broken beats, offbeat, abstract, and ambient. He tries to include his love for rhythm and percussion in his sets, but he does not follow trends and draws from various trends and eras of electronic music. Currently, they want to improve their skills playing from vinyl.

Techtonic
A lone traveller trekked across the barren landscape, boots crunching against the desolate soil. The ground beneath their feet began to tremble, a subtle vibration at first, then an undeniable quake. They paused, heart pounding, as the earth seemed to ripple like water.
Without warning, the terrain split open. The traveller gasped, feeling the ground pull them downward. They tried to scramble back, but the force was relentless, swallowing them whole.
A trillion light years away, the traveller landed softly on a surface unlike any they had known. A realm of shimmering lights and alien beauty stretched before them, infinite and eternal. They stood, awe-struck, realizing this was their new home, forever caught in the mysterious embrace of Techtonic.

Digital Uprising
In the heart of Neo-Cyber City, Fluō led The Code Breakers, a band of rebels fighting the oppressive grip of the Techno Corporation. They knew action was needed when news of a draconian surveillance system surfaced.
Under the cover of night, they infiltrated the Corporation's mainframe. Fluō's fingers danced across the keyboard as they breached layer after layer of encryption. Alarms blared, but they pressed on.
With a final keystroke, Liria unleashed a virus, crippling the surveillance network. Freedom tasted sweet, but victory was short-lived as enforcers chased them through the streets.
Ultimately, The Code Breakers escaped, their actions a beacon of resistance. Though the Corporation still held power, their defiance sparked hope for a future where freedom triumphed over control.

Bio/
Fluō, born in Albania and now based in Athens, fell in love with electronic music at a young age. His passion led him to the hypnotic world of techno, where he found his calling. Dedicated to providing unforgettable experiences, Fluō aims to immerse audiences in the depths of electronic soundscapes.
Hypnotic, raw techno blurs reality into dark, trippy realms. Lost in the void's embrace, pulsating rhythms lead through unknown depths.

Wormhole
In the pulse of night, where stars shimmer and bend,
A cosmic rift appears, where realms transcend.
Electronic waves ripple, a wormhole's silent call,
Inviting wanderers to journey, to answer destiny's thrall.
Synthesised melodies, a beacon in the void,
Guide travellers through the rift, where time is toyed.
Lost in the rhythm, they dance in the neon glow,
Through the wormhole's mouth, where mysteries bestow.
In this celestial passage, where past and future merge,
The dance of existence takes on a cosmic surge.
Through the wormhole's gaze, where realities collide,
They venture forth on an undefined odyssey.
In the pulse of night, where beats surge and thrive,
The wormhole whispers secrets of worlds alive.
In its embrace, they find unity's might,
Lost and found in the dance of cosmic light.

Platform Minimal Presents @MarekBartunek - The Viking Program.
With Remixes from Asan @hassansiddiqui90, @ForwardMemory & @Inzajeano

https://platformminimal.bandcamp.com/album/the-viking-program

Drops on the 16th of September with preorders available NOW!

In the vast expanse of our cosmos, each human encounter forms a constellation—a fleeting alignment of stars illuminating the darkness of our solitude. We traverse these celestial bodies, orbiting others, drawn by the gravity of shared experiences and emotions. Yet, how often do we land upon these planets—these people—only to find barren landscapes devoid of the life we once imagined? The air is thin, and the soil yields no harvest. Every planet we visit remains dead.

This is not a physical death, nor the finality of existential cessation, but a death of potential, of growth. It is the realization that those we once thought vibrant have remained untouched by the currents of time, unchanged by the flux of experience. In these moments, we confront the stillness of their being and the immobility of their thought. The life we anticipated finding in their presence is a mirage, a projection of our desire for meaning and connection.

Roland Barthes spoke of the “death of the author,” suggesting that the interpretation of a text lies in the hands of the reader, not its creator. In the same vein, we might be complicit in these lifeless encounters. As the readers of others’ lives, we impose narratives upon them, expecting evolution, change, and enlightenment. When we find none, when the text of their existence remains unaltered, we are confronted with our disillusionment. It is we who have authored the expectation of their transformation, and it is we who must reckon with their inertia.

In his reflections on seeing, John Berger reminds us that “the relation between what we see and what we know is never settled.” When we meet those from our past, what we see is coloured by the knowledge we have since acquired—the awareness of our becoming, our transformations. We have journeyed and changed and look to others to affirm our evolution. But what if they are blind to their potential? What if the world remains flat to them and the stars are fixed in the sky?

To encounter these static souls is to confront the possibility that they are always dead. It is to acknowledge that not all who breathe are alive in the truest sense. Some are mere echoes, reverberating in the chambers of our memory, lacking substance in the present. They are the shadows on the cave wall, the ghosts of what might have been unanimated by the light of experience.

Thus, every planet we visit remains dead, not because they have failed us, but because they have remained themselves. They are the fixed points around which we orbit, measuring the progress of our voyage through the contrast of their stasis. In this realization lies the paradox of human connection: to see others is to acknowledge their limitations, and in doing so, we come to see ourselves more fully. The death we observe in others reflects the death we fear in ourselves—the death of growth, change, and the capacity to become more than we are.

To leave a planet behind, then, is not an act of abandonment but of survival. It is to recognize the necessity of moving forward and finding those rare celestial bodies where life does flourish, the soil is fertile, and the air is filled with possibility. Only in these living encounters can we continue to evolve, learn, and truly inhabit the brief span of our years.

Marek Bartůněk - The Viking Program / Teaser

Platform Minimal Presents @ForwardMemory

The Forward Memory of Sound.
In the infinite silence before time, there was a hum. It was not a sound yet—just the potential, curled within the quantum foam, waiting to break free. A vibration, folded like the light inside a black hole, travelling faster than the future, slower than the past.

When it escaped, it didn’t move forward; it spiralled backwards into the now, threading itself into every molecule, every wave. It whispered to atoms, nudging them into a rhythm, coaxing particles to dance.

The sound remembered tomorrow, long before it happened.

And in that echo, the universe heard itself for the first time.

Obsessed with music’s transcendent nature from an early age, Adrian Rennie has a passion for sound and its ability to take you to another place. A journey in extraordinary reality.

About the release:

The first of a series of independently released two trackers are seeing Marek Bartunek translating his life stories and experience into music. Having spent few years deeply rooted within a niche techno genre as multiple label owner, the artist decided to focus on his own personal expression without any limitations from labels, different opinions and long waiting times for music to be released.
Through out the next near future, the artist will be focusing on growing his catalogue on his own Bandcamp, capturing both his immediate feelings and his progress in technical aspects of music production.

PREMIERE / Marek Bartůněk - THE WORDS THAT HATE MADE.

Platform Mininal Presents @ELYANX

X Y Axis
In an age silenced by oppression, a forgotten intersection whispered secrets: the X-Y Axis.
At this nexus, sound and spirit intertwined, defying the weight of tyranny. The seekers of this hidden sanctuary, where equations danced with melodies, believed in a profound truth—liberation through resonance.
In this realm, sound was more than mere noise; it was a spiritual and mathematical communion. Forbidden instruments and sacred harmonics constructed a symphony of hope, each note charting a point on the invisible grid of rebellion.
The Grand Symphony emerged, a testament to resilience, vibrating across the silence. Each note, a precise coordinate, wove a tapestry of unity, transcending the boundaries of the unseen and the unheard.
As the symphony's crescendo shattered the quiet, it revealed the power of the X-Y Axis—not just as lines on a plane but as pathways to freedom—the wave of sound spread, awakening collective memory and sparking the crumbling of oppression's walls.
The sanctuary was no longer hidden in the echo of this cosmic harmony. The X-Y Axis transformed into a beacon, a reminder that even in the darkest silence, the interplay of sound and spirit can redefine reality.

He's one of the Pioneers of the UK House scene. 
With his eclectic floor-filling sound, an ear for crisp production, he's been smashing dance floors across the globe for decades.

We're so hyped to start 2021 with a bang.
