On Monday 3rd January 2022, our dearest and most cherished friend, Karen Wilkins passed away.

While we are overcome with sadness that she is no longer physically with us, we are also overflowing with endless love and immense gratitude for having known her.

She truly was one of a kind, an incredible soul in every possible way, ​and we are so blessed that she was in our lives.

Among so many other things, Karen was an amazing DJ (and resident for London-based Opulence collective), putting her heart and soul, just as she did with everything, into the music she loved so much.

Music bought us together, just as it has so many of others, and so we felt compelled to jump on the decks, something she loved so much to do, to honour her.

In life she taught us so so much, and her passing has reminded us of just how incredibly precious our time on this earth truly is.

We never know what is around the corner and as cliched as it sounds, we must do all that we can to make the most of the time we've been given.

So, throw yourself at the things that light a fire in your soul, that bring your happiness and make you feel alive. Spend time with the people you love. Push through your fears to live wholeheartedly, just as Karen did.

We felt Karen with us throughout this mix, dancing her heart away with the biggest smile on her face, just as she did at many On the 5th Day events, and nights across London, where she made dear friends who all held a special place in her heart.

She was a true inspiration and will certainly live on in our hearts for all time.

• Crescent Textures #97 • ALPI

Geek and creativity merged together to give birth to this new project. The duo ALPI was born from two young producers from Bolzano, Daniele Alessi and Gabriel Pivaro. Driven by a visceral love for vinyls and synthesizers, they started their collaboration at the beginning of 2014 and since then have continued to experiment and work in search of a distinctive sound. ALPI’s music, characterized by the use of tribal timbres and hypnotic sounds, draws the listener into a primordial and ritualistic dimension.

ACT 04 - FALTUN

What is 'yum hotep'? In ancient Egypt, it was a kind of greeting that meant 'we come in peace.' Is that what people would say to aliens, or did it happen the other way around? What is space music? Perhaps it signifies peace? This podcast series explores musicians who connect Earth and the galaxy through music, thereby bringing us peace.

#ELVTInTheMix007 features @vishal_unni -  whose sound ranges across deep, hypnotic techno, drum & bass and beyond, marked by futuristic and psychedelic elements. His releases feature on Qilla, KVLTO, and Techgnosis, as well as independent releases. Known for his extensive music collection, his DJ sets are carefully curated to resonate with each environment. As A&R for Qilla Records, he has been instrumental in shaping the label's evolving sound over the last two years, working closely with Kohra.

Since 2019, Vishal has been nurturing emerging talent as a music production tutor, sharing his expertise and passion for electronic music with aspiring artists. This connection with electronic music led to the inception of Satori, an audio-visual concept night that began less than six months ago. Satori is a manifestation of Vishal's vision and experiences, crafting an immersive space where art and technology intersect to enhance the dancefloor experience.

His mix for the sixth edition of ELVT In The Mix is a gripping journey which begins with a deep ambient intro, transporting you into Vishal’s sonic imagination - from where he progressively interweaves both elements of groove and euphoria, whilst steadily building the pace and textures throughout the auditory expedition. Vishal manages to perfectly incorporate elements of deep and hypnotic techno, with hints of psychedelic overlays. The 58 minute journey concludes with a vibrant, warm and ambient outro, completed with acid undertones - that almost becomes reflective of the last hour of listening.
