David Smallbone Live at 1 Year of Flight Club 15/2/2025

The sky overcast, the air a bit chilly and flecked with an occasional rain drop. Spring is looking a bit subdued at the moment here in Brooklyn. All being said, there is still an energetic feeling when walking through the city and seeing the evening come alive with the comings and goings of a million people.

Like a perfect soundtrack to a night time ride through New York, Margaux Gazur’s forth-coming LP on Smallville gives feelings of introspection albeit with a bit of a twist. Through deft use of softer melodic pads, and interesting percussive patterns, Margaux keeps things fresh and lends an edge to a familiar auditory locale.

Su Phu, coming at C1 on the double vinyl release (digital as well, so don’t worry there) starts as a dark, rolling affair, with crunching textured sounds panning around rhythmic bass lines that persist throughout. As the track progresses, bright melodies come into play to lighten the mood and even contribute to a dynamic, ever shifting groove that constantly keeps your attention pinned.

Margaux Gazur’s Blurred Memories LP will be released out into the world on May 23rd.

PREMIERE: Margaux Gazur - Su Phu [Smallville]

With the return of the lunar cycle, the Dream Software servers have been updated with the latest Virtual Utopia patch — now available on the etherweb. Edition 14, this time coded by London-based @ldazedj, consists of a 70-minute high-octane deployment of metallic trance and techno, with destination set for the outerverse. The travelling velocity will distort your reality, so the journey will be just as interesting as reaching the bounds of our known existence.

On the launch platform at the edge of Sector 9, the vessel stood ready — a gleaming silhouette of chrome and light beneath the arc of Earth. Designed in an era of peace and exploration, it embodied a retro-futurist ideal: sweeping fins, polished alloy, plasma coils humming with steady power.
Final inspection unfolded in perfect silence. Drones moved with clockwork precision. Sensors scanned every seam and circuit. Ion thrusters gleamed. Radiation shielding was pristine. Solar sails, folded and stowed, awaited the call of vacuum.

Inside, everything rested in perfect order. Gravity systems held steady. Nutrient modules were stocked and humming. Rest chambers floated in serene suspension. A neural archive shimmered quietly, filled with the memory of countless journeys. In the engine chamber, the core pulsed like a quiet star. One by one, green lights marked completion. No errors. No adjustments. Every system, aligned. 
Clearance was granted. The ship's coils began to glow — a slow, soft blue. Soon, it would slip into the void beyond here, bound for the unknown. For now, it stood still — flawless and luminous — a vessel of hope, built not just to travel, but to experience the future.

The mission has begun. Thankyou Ella for piloting this expedition for us <3

~ Deep Breakfast 311 by https://soundcloud.com/hame-compathy ~

We are pleased to introduce the new Deep Breakfast mix curated by Hame. Based in Amsterdam, Hame is a talented producer, DJ, and founder of the record label and event concept @pintai. His musical work explores the intersection of energy and emotion, carefully crafting moments of unity on the dance floor. This mix showcases Hame’s unique talent for blending vibrant energy with heartfelt expression, making it a truly compelling addition to your listening experience. He approaches this set much like movie soundtrack, crafting a narrative with different chapters that, while distinct, come together seamlessly to create a captivating and immersive journey.

"The set ends with a track I made, built around words by Teig Sadhana about the vulnerability of men. It’s a subject that comes up often in my work as an applied psychologist, especially in conversations with boys and young men. Some carry unspoken thoughts - like feeling content with the idea of becoming a stay-at-home dad, or not pursuing traditional career ambitions. Sometimes about smaller subjects, like asking for help. Many describe pressure from society, or a lack of support from peers, when it comes to embracing less conventional paths.

I believe there’s a lot to gain, as a society, if men feel freer to speak about these thoughts. If being loved and respected is tied in the mind to career success, self-reliance and emotional toughness, it becomes difficult to let go of that framework. Historically, this mindset has been rewarded with status and security - but that doesn’t mean it’s something healthy for everyone to continue striving for.

We’re often comfortable talking about ambition, strength, and problem-solving - traits we’ve learned to view as charismatic or positive. But many of us were never taught how to speak openly about things that might be seen as weak or uncertain.

And yet, isn’t it one of the braver things - to show vulnerability in the face of discomfort or fear? Toughness can serve many purposes, but I think a more open and compassionate attitude among men toward vulnerability can help us become less protective of what’s been built in the world and in our minds, creating more space for everyone in society."

Deep Breakfast 311 ~ Hame

We asked friends of Stólar: What kind of music lives inside the A.Y.O.R.  Chair by Ron Arad? 
A chair made of polished steel and lead, its form evoking a tilting question mark. 
A chair that challenges the viewer to rethink the role of design. 

Listen to ORIONs answer - our friends from Italy present a one-hour soundtrack interpreting the spirit of this magnificent piece of design.

Kind-spirited troublemaker, dance~music maniac, and foundational force behind Pluto — a multidisciplinary art and music space in Gothenburg, run in collaboration with fellow residents, Sara Granér, @jens-lekman, and @christofferberg

Together with Christoffer, I also occasionally host a micro-club powered by his custom DIY sound system (@lovewithinsound), creating immersive dancefloor experiences inspired by the ethos of David Mancuso’s The Loft. Live DJ sets from the series are archived in the playlist “Flight Club Recordings” here on my profile.

Pluto was founded back in 2021 when blessed with a rare opportunity to take over a historic space, which once served as a studio for Ace of Base. I renovated the space with the help of a dear friend, without a clear intent of what to make of it. In this newfound sanctuary, I eventually started mixing music myself as a way to uplift my spirit, reminiscing over the end of an era. Having just moved back from Berlin, where I had spent close to a decade attentively growing up to be an adult.

Inspired to keep the fire burning while now back in the Shire. Pluto today serves not only as a base of daily operations for a handful resident artists. But also facilitates an extended community and various cultural projects. Much of the alsters found on this profile is likely a direct or indirect result of our Plutoverse.
