DifferentSound invites Takaaki Itoh / Podcast #052

Kill Acid On Space, Unclear and Øyvind – The Alchemical Theory project was born in 2018. The favourite sounds of the three artists, ranging from modular electronic sounds to much more atmospheric soundscapes, is the essential influence here. This project also comes from the love of mysticism, alchemy and nature. Hear something that affects the listeners' mind, reproducing a real mental journey in Black Wave podcast no. 39.

Polished by the sun and dried in extreme heat, a barren rock arises from the blue seas. Or so it may appear to the untrained eye. Flora adapts even in these conditions, so does the fauna. Patches of greenery seen here and there, lizards and mice, rabbits and birds flicker their tails in your peripheral vision. Hope persists. 
Although, an archipelago keeps its gem beneath – submerge in turquoise to the aquamarine watercolour palette. Grasp all but the little piece of the fluorescent wilderness of the underwater world. Transfer the body and your spirit to the seaweed forest gently soothed by the currents and the waves.
Experience this place where medieval forts meet megalithic temples, learn The Alchemical Theory.

Black Wave 039 - The Alchemical Theory

New mix for you and its goodie! 

Through the more positive connective powers of the metaverse, we became aware of Takumi after he commented on one of our crews mixes, forging a new friendship and prompting us to add him to a small trance FB community. Sharing music and insightful knowledge of his own involvement in the early 00's trance scene in Japan, naturally linked him with other collectives and label owners who have since hosted his mixes and been able to show case his selector skills.  Missing the boat slightly to extend our own invitation, the excitement when we did has clearly been channeled deeply into providing us with the prefect S:S mix that we're very happy to share.

Fresh off the release of his brilliant sophomore album, Martinou gives us the perfect soundtrack to the changing seasons - whichever part of the world you're in. Sink in, let the cozy melodies wash over you and enjoy the ride. 

A note from the artist himself about the mix:

"The mix is made up of music I adore, with a majority of the music forthcoming for the winter and next year. Some tracks by friends, some by me, and some by a combination of the two."

Here are GiGi’s words about the mix :
"In the heart's silent chamber, truth whispers,
A dance of light and shadow, as the spirit quivers.
Embrace the darkness, for it delivers,
The light of self-love, as the soul considers."

We're happy to present the recording of Sebastian Mullaert and Ulf Ericksson's live/dj set at the Labyrinth 2015. Seb and Ulf played the first night, entitled "Full Circle". It was a set where everything came together beautifully and organically, crowd and artists and music, and we all felt it was something worth sharing.

Here is the full 3.5 hour recording, together with a few words from Seb and Ulf: 

"For me, everything comes and goes in circles. And like everything else these circles are unpredictable; spiralling and reformulating like a kaleidoscope. Manifestations of patterns in this very moment; Consciousness.

I played the first edition of Labyrinth, had a few returns during the years and now returned for the 15th edition. Russ and Yasuyo, together with their Mindgames crew, have always performed their festival with a focused and radical mind; one intention, one passion - to create a psychedelic experience of dance surrounded by the Japanese nature. While the festival has grown in many ways since my first episode at Labyrinth, this radical focus on the mind-altering experience and the true love for dance have remained the same, with no sign of resignation.

This year I shared the stage together with Ulf Eriksson; a friend who has become a very special creative collaborator. To be a part of Labyrinth and to play this specific gig is the most magical experiential puzzle of moments I've shared with Ulf. This is an experience that will continue to remind us why we are doing this – why we are part of this ever shifting circle, spiralling into inspiration upon aspiration - something that never stops. I'm forever thankful to Russ and Yasuyo both for giving us the opportunity to play, sharing this recording and also creating a series of experiences and stimulations, resulting in each of us that listens as individuals becoming a part of something bigger and more all-encompassing – a circle that connects us beyond the realms of materialism, into the unpredictable.

Russ, Yasuyo and the Labyrinth are a true source of inspiration and a reminder to all of us in love with dance and electronic music that there is no end to the power of experience. 

Let us continue to remind each other, again and again, circle by circle, moment by moment into eternity."

- Sebastian Mullaert

"To play the Labyrinth festival has always been a bit of a dream of mine. Why, I do not know exactly. Maybe it's because it takes place far away, in Japan. Maybe it's because of all the stories you have heard from the festival. Maybe it's because of the unique tribal mystic that surrounds it, in combination with the nature of the location. Maybe it's because of the small group of artists, who all become like family for a few days. I do not know. But what I do know is that this dream has always been there and I am sure I share I it with a lot of musicians and DJs around the world. Anyway, 2015 I was lucky enough to be offered a slot, due in large part to my collaboration with Sebastian Mullaert, who already played there many times, both as Son Kite and as Minilogue.

So there we were behind the Labyrinth tipi, me and Sebastian, ready to go. Or, rather, not ready at all. We had prepared each to our selves but never found the time to meet up and rehearse together. I remember that Sebastian looked at me just before the set, and said something like: "I will not be sad or disappointed if things do not go well". I guess he was trying to calm me down since he knew I was kind of nervous. Anyway, off we went and thankfully, for some unknown reason, it was one of those gigs where everything just felt right.

So here is the recording. I still have not listened to it, and I do not think I will. I think I prefer to stay with the live memory of how it sounded. But I do hope that you will listen to the set, and that it will give you pleasure and meaning, just as my memory of it."

Wild at heart and commando-trained to x-out lame ass 4x4 competition, the sound of MARRØN - whose name is a direct nod to the staunch will and fortitude of eponymous escaped slaves - is dedicated to cutting a path of destruction in gridlocked nightly paradigms. Mapping the confines of deep, hard-to-the-bone techno through damp and dim-lit corridors of sound, the Eerste Communie co-founder serves up two hours of proper clinical hammering and nonstop rhythmic assault, paced to get your heart rolling over from one end of your chest to the other like a pinball caught in a magnetic storm.
