Dub Explorations

#17

Artist: The Open Circle [Greyscale / Crossfade Sounds/ Axaminer / OHM Series / ODrex]

Our 17th Frontier journey comes from Belgian producer Geert Thirry better known as - The Open Circle. We have been big fans of The Open Circle since we discovered his music a few years ago. He is an incredible producer and very versatile artist, who’s music can span from deep ambient soundscapes, to low slung chuggy dub techno all the way up to full dance floor fist pumping Techno. His production is mostly done using a Modular synthesizer and some other hardware. Then Layered textures and evolving rhythms are built to define the signature style with analog warmth and hypnotic depth.  

Geert has been producing music for many years, His first EP was actually released back in 2003 on the UK label ” Lost Language “as a double vinyl. Released under the alias Karada the release was more in the melodic Techno sphere. Since then his style and sound has developed into the deep Dub Techno he is known for today. His productions have been gathering more and more acclaim with his recent release on the legendary Greyscale placing him firmly towards to the top echelons of the Dub Techno world. 

We are honoured to be able to welcome Geert to the Dub Explorations and Frontier family and look forward to hearing his future productions.

Dub Explorations 133

“Aurora” is a journey into a magical forest where darkness and light intertwine in a single dance. The sounds seem to be born from the breath of nature: flickering lights in the crowns of trees, ancient wind spells and the pulse of the Earth, which leads you deeper into a mysterious trance.
Each rhythm is a step along a path lined with golden stars, each chord is the breath of the forest awakening its magic.
“Aurora” is not just music, it is a gateway to another world, where mystical harmony and the feeling of eternal awakening reigns.

«Аврора» — это путешествие в волшебный лес, где тьма и свет переплетаются в едином танце. Звуки словно рождаются из дыхания природы: мерцающие огни в кронах деревьев, древние заклинания ветра и пульс Земли, который уводит вас все глубже в таинственный транс.
Каждый ритм — это шаг по тропе, усыпанной золотыми звездами, каждый аккорд — это дыхание леса, пробуждающее его магию.
«Аврора» — это не просто музыка, это врата в другой мир, где царит мистическая гармония и ощущение вечного пробуждения.

To create this song was a very important process for me, as the track helped me cope with some heartbreaking news in my family — a young girl from my stepmother’s family, who was about to turn 18, took her own life. She had been suffering in silence for years. Such pain, such confusion, such deep sadness. Through this track, I tried to put into music what I was feeling in the midst of this tragedy. Before she passed, she had written a prayer. I hope this piece of music accompanies her, and that she finds peace wherever she is now.

In memory of Xu Han.
