KONCEPT Podcast: 021 - AKĀSHIC MACHINE

From the primeval waters to the implosion, the essence of KĀ pervades as an entity of embodied duality. Through alchemical experiments that merge polarities and fuse modalities - The sound “KĀ” echoes cosmic darkness, drenched in dense ambient waters, shaken by cataclysmic pulsations and interstellar vibrations. By creating an archetype to serve as a deviation from genre defined techno, KĀ whips up a relentless hypnotic concoction of deep techno infused with intention and sonic medicine. Following their recent EP release AKĀSHIC MACHINE, an extension of KĀ has been un/leashed like an autonomous machine. The creation of the project serves to open a portal into a distorted realm of frequency - an exuberant release of the past into the present, shedding emotion and shifting through tempo and resonance. KĀ has been nurtured by a multiverse of creative projects and landscapes of divination - the early seeds were sewn in the foundations of the techno community, drawing inspiration from the nature of the dance floor and how it can serve as an evanescent container for collective consciousness. 



“Traveling constantly with the deep desire to explore music and subculture served as a pathway for me to physically tune in to a vastness of sonic experiences. From the South African festival scene to New York noise, to Berlin techno institutions and beyond - constant reinvention and rediscovery led to feeling sound and presence deeply and noticing how it was constantly moving and shifting my body through time. Existing in gratitude for dance music as I grow with it, surrendering to innate and intuitive responses and impulses that draw me to experience the sound that I desire - IS the core of my mixing style and selection choice. Berlin has definitely pushed me to push the tempo, in a way that’s moved me out of my comfort zone and our intimate scene in South Africa. I disregard fitting into a specific mold with my sound, because I embody the dark and the light, the earth and the ether, serenity and chaos. I have come to accept being present within polarity, simply observing the oscillation. “

Deep x Heights 34 - Kaspiann (@soundsofkaspiann)

Bio:
The ruthless and glacial north has left its imprint on Kaspiann's sound as he resides in Helsinki, Finland. His often heavily bass driven tracks are iced with melancholic melodies, wintry atmospheres and allusions of psychedelia. This deep and diverse interpretation of techno has led to several releases for The Gods Planet, Planet Rhythm and Etherwerks.

ENJOY!

Art Bei Ton Podcast 082: Akāshic Machine
( @akashicmachinee ) 

For the 82nd episode of our podcast series we're happy to welcome the multitalented South African artist: Akāshic Machine aka KĀ. They will perform at our first event in New York this Friday 26th May!

This mix was originally recorded for Art Bei Ton podcast serie and trough its hypnotic and trippy atmospheres takes the listener into a deep and reflexive journey.

Enjoy!

More info about Akāshic Machine:

“Through channeling abysmal atmospheres, subliminal frequencies and a wide-screen orchestration of sonic dramatics, KĀ’s curatorial approach is inspired by a world where techno and the supernatural meet. 

Highly regarded for evoking frequencies that derive from obscured psychedelic foundations, the sound of KĀ entices an unworldly edge that merges futurism and mysticism together on the dance floor. The creation of such a devious psycho-acoustic archetype anchors itself betwixt mentality and the art of confrontational listening - undeniably saturated in divinely guided spirit and rinsed down with a relentlessly hypnotic concoction of time-winding deep techno infused with intention and vibrational medicine.”

Spencer @ Locked Groove (May 2023)

With great pleasure we welcome the colombian artist and label owner of From A Lost Place @launaea for our tenth episode of the Herbarium mix series.
He chose the very special plant Espeletia, also called frailejón for his musical journey.

The frailejón is a distinctive high-altitude plant found in the paramo ecosystems of the Andes mountains in South America. It is characterized by its rosette-like arrangement of leaves, which are covered in fine hairs to retain water and protect against harsh environmental conditions. Frailejones play a vital role in the ecosystem, serving as water reservoirs and providing habitat for various species.
They reach imposing heights, cover vast tracts of terrain and transform the landscape of the páramos into a green tapestry that blends with the sky and mist, allowing those who contemplate it to immerse themselves in its natural majesty. This adaptation and resistance of the plant could be metaphorically compared to the intrinsic energy of this podcast immersing the listener in a world of intense, challenging and constantly evolving sounds, transporting them into an immersive and emotional listening experience.

@Fleika

Each of Fleika’s sets is a humble lecture in subtle mind control. Characterised by a pristine atmosphere, trance-inducing percussion work and a controlled perplexity of unidentified synth sounds, his sets are always a pleasure to get lost in. The persistence in digging through vast worlds of techno he has retained since his beginnings as a member of the Polygon crew have made him one of the most respected selectors in the area. The precision of his fingers when leaning over the mixer indicate a high complexity of thought behind his performance.
