Some of you might already know the producer/Dj Arkaean's (based in south England) work: after a noticed release on Silent Season end of 2019, he played the Lāsya Festival (curated by Klara, summer 2021). The young talent paused to travel, which gave him opportunity to wander various festivals. Back from his adventures he delivers a set punctuated w. transcending sounds, ambient/down tempo tribal beats, haunting bass lines & colorful, organic pads as well as trancier accents. Thank you so much Billy for this soulful, immersive & entrancing journey. <3

"Arkaean seeks to induce a primal trance state through the use of modern instruments and technologies — a form of hi-tek sonic archaeology, in quest for ancient insight.

In the juxtaposition of organic recordings with purely synthetic processes, new environments are revealed, alien yet familiar. A vision of primordial life bubbling away in a parallel universe, or the chatter of chimeric critters on a distant Earth-like planet.

After much tinkering in the Ancient Technology Division's headquarters, fresh ectoplasmic material takes on a corporeal form and will be certified for distribution as soon as the final filtration is complete."   :—)

His debut EP was released on Silent Season and got supported by Oslated, Ambient Soundscape, Insight Podcast, Cosmic Leaf, Dub Techno TV and NTS Radio. Other VA tracks released on Outtallectuals, Kornarion (...).

Note: in 2017 (channel was paused for 2y 2018-19 becuz of triggered misogyny) point of honor was made to not promote any local DJs, same afar - in my own techno musical taste/range, IF their gender-equality support/perspective reveals to be based on social posing (and/or 'friends based') i.e: if motivated by exposure / publicity / status / image & bookings conveniences (all the while displaying clear sexism in private, repeatedly. Some of them, years in a row). Same for narcs and their enablers.
