STAUB #21

Dirty Epic welcomes aboard @shantievanti for the 127th installment of Amplify Series.

Shanti has made textured waves in Chicago’s techno scene with her curation of dark, sinister, and ethereal soundscapes. Music has always been a means of coping with the otherness and hybridity Shanti experienced throughout her life. She has been deeply moved by the transcendent ability of music to express concepts, states of consciousness, and conflicting emotions. Shanti’s sets weave a story of the simultaneous despair and yearning that are intertwined with the human condition and illustrate an intentional trajectory through combining and cultivating surreal, atmospheric, and haunting sounds.
 
Enamored by the liminal dynamics of sound, she cohosts Otherworldly Ambiguity with Scum.ee –an experience that is centered around the phenomenon of existing in between and outside of pre-existing concepts and rigid categories. She is also a member of techno collective Research & Development and hosts a monthly radio show, “Liminal Radio” on WIIT 88.9 FM featuring thoughtful artists at the core of Chicago’s underground music scene.
 
Experiencing music outside of the confines of a club or the underground is extremely important to Shanti as she had initially discovered her favorite artists through online podcasts and radio. The universalizability of podcasts and radio enable music to be experienced by more humans situated in different contexts. This is why she has contributed to many notable online mix series and radio channels. Her mixes have been featured on The Black Lodge Radio, SutroFM, Mutant Radio, PPRZ, Distant Signals, Death Decay & Magic, Braid Records, Low Visibility, Dance All Day, and m50’s etc radio among other podcasts and shows.

"For this closing set, I wanted to cultivate an atmosphere of releasing the turbulent emotions we have been experiencing in Chicago as a community. I anticipated the desire for this release but experiencing it in the subterranean context of Smartbar - in the darkness - in real time- felt so powerful and transcendent. This experience was not merely an escape, but a channeling of the heaviness within us - how do the mind and body cope and grasp what is happening? I was fueled by the defiantly heavy energy from the dancers and it was such a testament to the healing power of music during these dark times."

Boris - BeHærd Invites KHIDI  at Levenslang 7 NOV

Unforgettable moments together with Esse during the daylight time in Masada.
The genuine technique of him brought his deeper soul in a sophisticated mixture of house, minimal and techno sounds.
Enjoy the ride.

Hello everyone, 

here we are in December, the cold is setting in and the trees are falling asleep while the starlings set off on their great journey, a ritual and monthly event offered by this series, which today celebrates its thirty-ninth episode with the immense honour of welcoming COBAHN the South Korean artist now based in Amsterdam. A renowned DJ, the artist has performed at some of the most prestigious venues such as Vurt, De School, Tresor, Garage Noord, Radion, Raum, and Perron, as well as celebrated techno events like Ratherlost and Pax Romana, and festivals including Dekmantel, Paral·lel, and Mostra!
Here she offers us an hour of immensely elegant mixing, with unrivalled finesse, where imperceptible transitions plunge us into a unique and polychromatic sensory journey! What could be better than the artist subtly slipping in a track from our upcoming release? Bon voyage and happy end of 2025 to all!

"In this transmission,

we sink below the surface —
a 60-minute drift through dub-soaked frequencies and warm low haze.

Low pulses stretch like fog through concrete.
Rhythm flickers — restrained, percussive, breathing.
Textures fold into grain, into shadow, into weight.
Time loosens. Space shifts.

A slow descent,
a quiet expansion —
into the dim and drifting below."

Re-upload of my pe:rsona '25  live set. One to remember! A lot of mistakes included and mayhem of the sweeping rainstorm channeled through the audio.

Will serve as a spark for the memories of the summer rain <3

Only mono recording was left behind due to a small technical mistake when I setup the recorder. :(
