It's with great pleasure that we welcome Shun Watanabe aka Doltz (Japan) for our 35th contribution. Doltz is both an artist and a sound designer/producer. Perfectionist and putting an accent on ambient and experimental techno, his work mixes various elements, just like when using different techniques & colors with varying components & textures in his visual artworks. His unique sound evokes electricity on earth, environmental sounds as well as is taking an inspiration into animism — and overall — Doltz deeply intricates the beauty of Technology with Imagination.

He has appeared on various labels such as Circular Limited, Annulled music, Oslated, Artscope... (...) as well as on Alexandar where you'll find his last Album, freshly released.

Keep updated w. his work! Follow & subscribe and check his links/socials for further Info. Wish you all a nice listening :)

Thank you for this contribution Doltz <3

After an uptempo Techno vinyl set last month, July goes towards the other end of the spectrum, giving space to a more mellow, summerish, chill journey with Martyn Päsch. 

The producer/DJ (Mexico) oscillates between ambient, deep house/microhouse influences & deep techno. He's also the owner/founder of his imprint KLVTÖ:
"Martyn Päsch continues to rise in the scene of Electronic Music. In his work as a producer we can find a range of styles varying from classical to minimal and abstract sounds of Techno. He's moving in sub genres of Deep Techno such as ambient, dubby sounds & experimental, which gives him a vast musical spectrum, freshness and versatility. In the beginning of 2018 he started his record label, KVLTÖ RECORDS, focused on Ambient, experimental, drone & DeepTechno sounds. Since this moment he's working ambitiously on various projects and collabs in which Martyn Päsch not only seeks for musical diversity, but aims to give the audience food for thought and dreams." 

Martyn Päsch has released material on a series of labels (Artscope, Virescence, No Way Records, Diffuse Reality...). Thank you for this mellow, lovely trip Martyn <3

PRIOR ACT #038  — Martyn Päsch [KLVTÖ]

Stoke to present you last contributor of 2021 in the person of Adhémar: the french artist/producer/Dj gifts us with a set oscillating between liquidish sound distortions & poetic brush strokes, including various unreleased material of his own. The tight percussions, the reverbing drums leave space in between rythms to sober, near meditative atmospheres. Please welcome him w. this typical beautiful ambient journey of his, which evokes a painting of a walk into a forest, and a touch of mystery. Thank you so much Adhémar! <3 

"Adhémar is a multi-disciplinary artist, establishing his universe through music and visual works. Constantly in search of a luminous quality of sound, in a world both of Shadows & Light, his music is closely linked to his plastic work.
This obsession w. shadows leads him to think and create spaces and atmospheres focusing on the lightness and poetry of light. The power of narrative in music allows him to confront more psychological and philosophical aspects, with a focus on what is 'Alive, what surrounds us' (whether material or immaterial world, i.e the fact everything is constantly 'becoming'). With a particular rigour for transitions, whether in his own productions or DJsets, his universe is built little by little, with the passing of sound transformations, as well as the light and poetic transportation of it all.

In the recent years alongside his releases (Oslated, Huinali Recordings, Lett Records, Aarden Records, Secuencias Temporales, Diffuse Reality...) Adhémar created « Aucuba Replica »  together with Olorun:
The botanical genus Aucuba includes species of shrubs native to Central Asia or Japan. The premise is that plants can be multiplied and reborn almost identically yet each individual remains unique. This idea of multiplication and artificial landscape defines Aucuba Replica, as an emanation of both the individual practice of the Duo, by collecting sounds that combine organic and artificial elements, bringing out the possibility to perceive landscape as an audible geography."

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 (...).

PRIOR ACT #042  — Arkaean

More than pleased to welcome producer/Dj & artist Minjoon, based in Korea. Minjoon displays a mix between deep, subterranean, pretty dark sound at times  traversed by more luminous strokes. This gives his audience the feeling of being pulled into a dark tale with sonic doors opening on rooms filled up with sun. This contrast transpires more in his sets whereas his techno prods have a more direct approach. It's this tension created by seemingly opposed ideas/concepts (familiar Versus Unfamiliar and in his own words, ambiguity of colors when it comes to visual work) that form his current signature, aside from a strong interest for primitive sounds. 

"To me, the word 'primitive techno' is based on the primitive senses of humans. Literally, rythms that can be found in folk cultures, such as traditional korean instruments, Mongolian traditional 'Humei' sound, or ancient Nordic chants. It englobes both the magical and dark sensibilities inherent to 'modern electronic techno' ". 

Minjoon also works as a designer/artist & podcast curator for Artscope. After releasing on Charybdis, KVLTÖ, Artscope (...) he keeps exploring and developing his vision. Thank you Minjoon for your dedicated work <3 We wish you all a nice trip :-)

▶ Official Bio
"Since 2017, Minjoon has been fascinated by the joining of his painting awareness and primitive techno. His theme is to find an ambiguous balance based on the extreme paradoxes of 'Unfamiliar familiar. Ambiguous colors are not a visual sense, but appeal to another sense of energy.
Minjoon is also currently working as a designer/artist at Artscope. After his first debut EP in 2021, he's been continuously developing his sound".

Stoked to welcome the participation of non other than one of the Masters of both Hypnotic, trance inducing & driven, epic journeys: Blazej Malinowski.

It is our pleasure to present you last Doctrina Natura's set :-) 
Showcasing the spanish « savoir-faire » of hypnotic, ambient, experimental & underground techno, A. Caballero, based in Sevilla, carved his sound through qualitative, beautiful releases on spearhead-labels (Agos, Oslated, Secuencias Temporales, Circular Limited, Ritualism Records, Crescent London..) ——  Same way he's delivered a serie of mixes offering a collection of unique journeys into his deeply nature-influenced world. The organic feel slowly builds power and gets upheld through musical unawaited turns.. allowing listeners to navigate the producer/Dj's mind with constant curiosity. The overall feel is warm, and the body oscillates between different rythms. 

Don't forget checking Doctrina Natura's last freshly released material (amongst others: on Ritualism / As well as a remix on Space Textures). 

Grateful for this generous 1H30 (circa) contribution... :P

Very pleased to introduce you to our next guest:
Morpha is a musical project founded in 2019 by ambient techno producer and DJ Alexander Slonovsky, currently based in St. Petersburg. Since the start of the project, Morpha has released on various labels such as KVLTÖ, Secuencias Temporales, Profundo Collective (...). 
Other than the aforedmentioned, the producer/Dj is resident of the Sacred Sound community as well as a co-founder and member of the Ephemeral community, which promotes immersive sound in Russia through audio and video podcasts.

"Morpha is not an urban environment. It is organic, a symbiosis of man and nature translated with deep blue, turquoise and green emerald colors. A project inspired by the idea of life". Just like a refreshing, immersive july sound bath... Morpha offers us a set that ebbs and flows. :)

Morpha will be playing at the Sun spirit festival near Veliky Novgorod, from 21th to 24th July. 
Catch him there ! ;)

PRIOR ACT #047  — Morpha

Very pleased to welcome the young, promising italian talent: Biocym. 

Currently based in Milan, the  producer/DJ is pushing his sound & style on various fronts thru releases on the beautiful Agos imprint (previously appearing on Circular Limited, Aarden Records, Secuencias Temporales..) and sets (Amulador, Porto)with an inspired, edgy-cutting vision.

This set is traversed by electronic-ambientish, -hypnotic, -dubby synth leads and pads — Elements all sustained by flashing, entrancing bass & rythms, as well as darkier influences. Cinematic in portions, smartly built with warmth, energetic and harmonious sounds, Biocym uses his technique to drive us into mellow, dancing states — yet leaves sonic spaces that leads us astray.. to a more intimate, darkier corner of a late night club vibe towards end of session. Somewhere between a summer mountain/forest festival & a City morning afterparty: Biocym's strength probably resides there, in that specific contrast, leaving his listeners "not quite sure of what just happened" (ofc subtly calculated by its author), yet wanting more. :-)

Thank you so much for this colorful, inspired sound journey Riccardo. <3

PRIOR ACT #049 — Biocym

And just like that.. Another festival season is gone. As a closing-greeting & to celebrate Prior Act’s Nr 50, we’re happy to bring an exclusive set recording:

Alex Tomb isn't just an over-20years-practicing Dj/(Later on, producer, on Several Reasons & Capparis Spinosa - his own label - amongst others) and a techno figure in his homeland (Cyprus): he's been keeping on pushing to generate quality and  enthusiasm around techno music since his returning. As such he naturally took part to the quite recent Emotions festival, located in the "Angel’s Hills Resort" in Nicosia; a gathering of both local & International ambitions, that has reunited names such as Dasha Rush, Amandra, F-On.. as well as emerging artists.

Thankful & super pleased to get this opportunity focusing/shedding light on his work (the excerpt isn't to find anywhere else and was recorded last June). Alex not only shows us there's other horizons beyond Berlin and his various  [past] residencies @[Griessmüehle/KLUBD/] STAUB (<-- still active), but his unextinguished passion for the craft. This >>Techno<< set excerpt ranges from minimal influences, techno with powerful beats, to more subtle, soulful, psy playfulness - as well as melodic bits, where spontaneity and honoring detroit/housey vibes has its spot. More resonates as an invitation to let go & dancing in the joy of present moment, leaving spaces here and there to rest and look upwards. A simple, yet powerful Techno's spirit celebration, free of tags, small-boxing, and as much a reflection of his long years of (crowd management/)practice. All of which under the stars, close to the mountains and a breezy sea. ..

Thank you so much Alex for this exclusive, powerful session & Gift  ❤️🖤

▶ Official Bio
"Alex Tomb was born in Nicosia in the 80s. Mainly a DJ for 20 years and music creator slightly after, with residencies at legendary klubd, Nicosia for over a decade, and at STAUB, Berlin. He had releases on various European labels such as STAUB, Several Reasons, as well as his own label Capparis Spinosa.
An experienced mixer with precise attention to detail, a very delicate touch and effervescent resonance. Alex directs the listener through deep explorative trips that play with the psyche. A musical dialogue filled with colours, changes of perspective and almost life-changing dispositions."

Prior Act's 50th — Alex Tomb @Emotions. Festival, Cyprus

It's with the utmost pleasure we're welcoming our next guest, diving back into the usual atmospheric vibes... Based in Mexico, the producer/Dj behind the label Secuencias Temporales delivers both beautifully curated discoveries thru his imprint, as well as himself refining his mixing with casket-treasured findings, for our ears delight. Out of his own, Jorge just recently released on the Label Unheard https://soundcloud.com/unheardlab and has been providing for Orb mag https://soundcloud.com/orbmag

Jorge Eafhm gives here a lesson of elegance when it comes down to mixing melodies in the best sense of the word, blending them in a flowery, slightly nostalgic and deep, soulful tale. Can say without much doubt: probably one of the best and most atmospheric submissions we received so far. Infinitely thankful for this beautiful, chiseled work and the obvious passion put in it.

Thank you Jorge <3 
Very much looking forward what's going to come..

Artist BIO
▶ Noah Lyas is a producer/Dj, ceramist/artist based in The NL: 
Malii Yorks' alias serves his electronic music creations and explorations. His influences were forged by swinging ska, dub reggae and dusty soul, the music he grew up with and where he finds his inspiration. Aside of his taste for groove that transpires in his sets, you'll feel a clear leaning towards textured tracks. Noah is also the Co-founder of Amsterdam based record label "Profundo Collective" (on which Eafhm, Morpha and Doctrina Natura have collaborated, amongst others). He delivers a set embodying a gritty, yet atmospheric techno where drums and percussion are the perfect frame to drift you away, through a selection of some classics, recent findings and some of his own productions. N'joy :-)

Thanks so much for this rich set Noah 🙏🏻❣️

PRIOR ACT #052 — Noah Lyas  [Profundo Collective]

It’s with utmost pleasure we’re buckling up 2022 and shooting straight into 2023 with a powerful, atmospheric set thanks to Alexskyspirit’s contribution. Please make a due welcome to the greek (borned/raised in Patras) producer/Dj, also co-owner of the young @Khoros-label.

Alexskyspirit delivers a mix built on deep/dark bits together with newer tracks as well as exclusive, unreleased material. The result is ...moody AF, oscillating between a well-known dark-building-block (LN or Berlin-like), as much it kicks you into the midst of a white, powdery snowy mountainscape under starry Nightskies. It's the contrast, the thumping-red-thread (sometimes almost gloomy) that reveals Alexskyspirit's peculiarity. The journey embarks us in memories of both sweaty crowds, strobes and hypnotic states, somewhere between reality and dreams. Respites are given to calm the mind before kicks & basslines bring you right back in line. Cinematographic, ravey, a sense of mystery mixed are all in favor of a cathartic trip. Thank you much Alex for the strong work <3

"hypnotic ambient atmospheres, distorted textures and cinematic pads 
are some of the key elements of his style and signature. Alexskyspirit gets inspired by moody atmospheres such as city traffic, night, winter, rainfall, architecture. He played with a number of both underground as well as well-known figures, from Blazej Malinowski, Ness, (…) to Claudio PRC - amongst many others".

Happy and pleased to present our next guest on the channel :
Otherwise known as Hypnotic Black Magic, Apolline Guédon got well inspired when leaving her home (FR) to pursue her passion for Arts & Techno music. In a few years span, she's become a known, regular figure of Berlin' scene, as the creator & curator of the Art Bei Ton events serie, as well as for 'Ambient Sleepers'. 

Energetic, prolific, delivering driving and carefully crafted selections, Hypnotic Black Magic is also socially engaged to break down gender tiny boxes. Her music is deep, dark but with sensual accents. Her insatiable curiosity also shows as a traveller : HBM has played a large numbers of venues; in Berlin, Tokyo, Portugal, Seoul, Colombia.. and many other countries/cities around the world. "Movement forward" as a whole is expressed through her different ways and channels : musical choices, roles in the scene as well as a strong skill set, quite obviously :) for project management.

"Through her sets, her goal is to create musical journeys conceived as introspective explorations of human's deepest obscure thoughts, meditative states and sensual expressions."

I let you get embark on this singular journey, where her signature clearly shines thru. Thank you so much Apolline 🙏🏻❤️

ABSIS - Same Frequency 
With Eyes Closed LP (ST057)
Digital format
Mastered by @eafhmlive
Released by @secuencias_temporales [México]

Release Date : 20th of March 2023
https://secuenciastemporales.bandcamp.com/

"Like opening a door to the unknown, an invitation to a familiar and intimate place, we take a step to inhabit a space where to make ourselves comfortable — keeping silent through the record listening. 

'With Eyes Closed' by ABSIS is a call for recollection and inner quiet ; it just requires being present and surrendering to the pleasure of music & electronic synthesis. ABSIS displays in this album a somewhat obsessive and compulsive mastery of machines, a hard yet pure composition, in search of the 'perfect sound' in the artist's imaginative mind :

Seven tracks to pull us into contemplation & introspection and evolving into a collective movement to sharing a dance floor; a rich, circular, rounded fantastic album in the strictest, most literal sense. Each sound occupies its right and proper spot, respecting each other of its frequencies, brilliance & intentions. Nothing here, was created without purpose ; all elements fill their respective and mutual functions within perfect order and thru a shared fantasy, with remarkable cleanliness and lucidity.

Crossing that door and inhabiting that place, it becomes inevitable to succumb to our senses in a natural, instinctive reflex : the sound, the music gets under our skin and becomes part of us."

Based in Manizales (Colombia) & a big lover of Nature, Lopar @lopar_music takes inspiration from his natural surroundings such as the indigenous colombian mountains, re-transmitting his vision of techno since 2015 — when he started at the Academia Decibel (Intelligent Division) in Medellin. 

His mixing style ranges from ambient, dub and minimal to deep & hypnotic techno & Drum’ & Bass, bordered by a melodic drumsy, silver lining. The DJ isn’t just a natural talent:

He's involved as part of the 'Natural collective' in Manizales, actively contributing to further develop the deep techno scene. Lopar carefully crafts his selections on each and every different occasion, showing adaptability and a comprehensive musical approach and sensitivity. He has played alongside many of his well known colleagues (Polygonia, A. Linell, etc).

Pioneering for both Orca Silent and the newly minted Deephist label, the artist
is both the author behind the "Hopeful" title & the curator at the full-spectrum, newly founded Imprint.

Soon to be releasing new material on @Melifera & with a batch of podcasts under his belt, Vancouver-based producer "Orca Silent" displays here specifically, a blend of influences flowing between drum'n'bass, dub & deeply atmospheric sounds, as well as a pinch of broken beat. Overall and thru the whole Skaana Album, Orca Silent paces thru a history of deep, chill & pacifying moods, evoking organic forests, sometimes more nostalgic or more epic - adventurous, mystic landscapes.

Ǝɯǝɐ is the musical exploring project of the musician from island of Mallorca (Balearic Islands), Miquel Alzanillas.

His deep interest in technology and avant-garde music inspired him to start producing and DJing at a young age. Since then, he has collaborated on various interdisciplinary projects, both in live performances and sound installations as well as in sound design for audiovisual projects. Currently, he combines ǝɯǝɐ project with designing and developing code for various Python applications.

Since his last release in 2019, he has been working on various audiovisual projects, both in sound design for advertising campaigns and scoring for a feature film.

Now, with his second album, ǝɯǝɐ is set to push his own limits even further, seeking a more digital and processed sound through landscapes that evoke science fiction in a dystopian future."

Excited to welcome producer/Dj/multi-faceted artist Valentin Ginies for this 57th installment ; the talent also known otherwise to be 11001 Records 'head as well as the co-founder of the Teufelsberg Domecast series >> https://rb.gy/bspni << & founder of the 3-days "Music & Paint" -3d Eye Festival in Berlin, where he's based, will share the decks this week-end along his equally gifted/Avant-garde colleagues of the Deep scene. 

W. a background playing piano & drums, Music obv. takes a large portion of Valentin's life, who started Djing at a young age. He naturally took the steps that allow him to further deliver his visions thru the creation of his label 11001 Records focusing on techno, ambient & experimental. 

As a producer Valentin Ginies released on 11001 Records  www.11001records.com, Bahn, Circular Limited, Futurepast... His Eps show complexity, sensitivity as well as organic inspiration — same way his sets display an easiness to navigate varying moods including high-peek momentums.

The set starts like a murmur in the woods, filled with mysticism, fauna -organic details and slow paced sounds, before to be swept when it shifts into faster, sustained beats. Intricated yet harmonious, colorful & incorporating surprises — all of which with his own sonic identity : 
Valentin's passion for sound digging & knowledge of what fits best his djing style shows. 

Thank you so much Val for this inspired work & great contribution! 🙏 🖤 :)

Stoked to welcome and celebrate this Summer's Solstice with the excellent DJ/Producer from Seoul (Korea) UNJIN, also known as Rainjacket, his other alias as an imaginative abstract ambient project.

Unjin's reputation for pushing musical boundaries began back in the mid 90’s as one of Korea's first underground indie musicians, in Seoul's relatively young underground music scene, grew through his imaginative live ambient solo project Rainjacket, and continues to develop in exciting new directions as an independent producer and DJ on the international stage.

Unjin's international debut as a DJ came with Miami WMC 2010 as Korea’s best electronic musician. Since then Unjin is fast becoming known in Asian techno circles as one of top producers and DJs to watch and has recently moved to Berlin to further satisfy his ambitions regarding his musical art. 

Unjin is the founder of Korea’s first techno label 'ECI Korea' , a platform to expose emerging domestic and international talents to the world stage, and also as composer and producer, Unjin has played a key role in laying the foundation for a Korean techno culture.

We let you dive into his beautiful work & selection with a slick, rounded progression showcasing just the perfect balance between introspective, intricate percussive sounds and more extroverted accents. All converging with perfect harmony as a treat for the ears, thereby celebrating Summer's solstice in lush style. 

Thank you so much for this beautiful & unique set Unjin. ❣️

We love proposing different 'seafronts' and avoid being boxed into any rigid 'categories'. People needs Tags as it helps them navigate thru Genres, when the word itself defines nothing but just a difference. But.. Music is music... We step aside for a moment from Techno to dive into a more acoustic/lo fi vibe, where Midi instru and moods are taking over in an ambient mix, filled with pausing moments and murmuring voices. 

Bringing in classical elements in slow paced rhythm, today's guest YOST plays both guitar and piano and loves to photograph his Home landscapes of the Portsmouth Island:
Just like his poetic Black & White photographies, this mix is just but a Polaroid of a moment - reflecting a research for minimalist aesthetic and experimentation. 

Literal Antithesis of pretentious, shy even; this journey is all about introspection, slowness and nostalgia. Pls welcome: Yost and his hypersensitive World. <3

After years of exchanging ideas and producing --- and based on their long lasting friendship, Manu &amp; Karol founded their Imprint @flyancerecords based in Paris. With an epic "Dysphoria/Euphoria" EP, and the "55:55" &amp; "77:77" releases on Blocaus serie + the Beautiful "Noumene" (on colleague/friend french Label Taapion), the Duo quickly assembled titles that got them a growing attention. Deploying their Techno with a strong energy and a handful of well chosen Rmxes (Shlømo/Deepbass/Re:Axis, Setaoc Mass) Kas:st express their talent best when on scene, building hypnotic, deep powerful sets. They crafted a memorable trip here (that i already listened 4x in 24H... :D). Whatever the 'category/genre' (which later evolved) you want to 'call' them...

If having ears & eyes on various female Djs, finding proper author to kick off 1st PA's 2020 contribution with the 'Feminine Side of the Force' was a milestone not to be rushed. It's with great pleasure we introduce you to KOSHIN, a talent from South Korea. She displays both grace, strength and versatility; you'll quickly get her ability to shift (or; almost "fly") from ambient/lush modular or texturised sounds to rougher, ass-kicking waves, yet always w. elements of variation & surprise. 
A delicate, exciting balance; she maintains her signature w. renewed creativity throughout her sound explorations as well as thru her Residency at much respected Vurt Club (Seoul). We're eager to see her evolve as it seems there's few she couldn't tackle, thanks to her intelligent, soulful approach.

We wish you to enjoy the journey as much as we did, Please make Koshin a warm welcome. Thank you much Koshin! <3

Based in Skopje, Klara recorded this session whilst being at Ohrid, one of Europe's deepest and oldest lakes (declared World Heritage Site by UNESCO), located between the albanian and macedonian frontiers. Inspired by the unique vibration of this place, she's delivering Prior Act's 27th contribution with a 2H journey.

"High Priestess of the forest and of comprehensive electronic music and a multimedia artist", Klara approaches techno through her own shamanistic lens, "transmitting hypnotic psychedelia through driving beats. Starting as a resident of the all-girl techno crew Code XX parties in 2015, she's responsible for some of the most forward thinking electronic sound coming from Macedonia. Her deep, psychedelic, hypnotic djing & live expressions bring a special kind of emotional energy to all her performances. She seems to be transmitting insight from the cosmic consciousness, and the natural vibrations into her sonic soundscapes". [Klara, DJ Live/ Hybrid/ multimedia artist] 

Wish you all a nice listening! Thank you very much Klara <3

We are very pleased to present you today's contribution in the person of Svarog:  based in Lviv, Ukraine, the producer/Dj has been delivering some of the best deep/dark techno since 2015 (Circular Limited, Nachstrom Schallplatten, Affin, Illegal Alien, Pole groups’ Aine, to name a few). 

Svarog's name is rooted in ukranian mythology (God of Metal - the forge operator, God of fire) and draws some of its other inspiration in nature (mountains) & architecture - 3 major Key elements (mythology, nature & architecture) that makes it a  kindred spirit of PA. ;)

Combining saturated timbres, industrial sound, atmospheric landscapes w. sometimes broken beats, the producer/dj mixes shades of ambient, mysticism and 'real techno' to characterize his musical/artistic output. His specific textures, dark and atmospheric signature are out through a recent batch of new, freshly released material (you can find his 'Substances' EP on Affin as well as various contributions on Edit Select's label --- and compilations on Paradigma Records and DNC Limited). 

Far from trendiness or simplicity, focused on dark but evocative textures,  hosting him is the result of a long awaited wish! Please enjoy the listening. :) Thank you very much Oleksa <3
