Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose (1885–1886) by John Singer Sargent is a captivating vision of twilight a poem in paint where innocence, light, and time converge. Set in the garden of Farnham House in Broadway, in England’s Cotswolds, Sargent began the work during the summer of 1885, not long after departing Paris in the wake of the “Madame X” controversy. The idea was sparked during a September boating trip on the Thames at Pangbourne, where he saw Chinese lanterns glowing among trees and lilies at dusk. The painting depicts two young girls Dolly to the left and Polly to the right lighting paper lanterns amid roses, carnations, and tall white lilies in bloom. Originally, Sargent had planned to use the dark-haired daughter of his friend Frederick Barnard as a model, but she was replaced by the Barnard sisters for their fair hair, which better suited the luminous palette. Painted en plein air with impressionistic spontaneity, Sargent worked each evening for just a few precious minutes during the fleeting “blue hour” to capture the delicate balance between lantern glow and fading daylight. As real flowers wilted with the advancing season, he replaced them with artificial ones to preserve the harmony of the composition. The canvas was originally rectangular but later trimmed by about two feet on the left to emphasize the central figures and bring it closer to a square format. When it was unveiled at the Royal Academy’s Summer Exhibition in 1887, it received both criticism for its “Frenchified” style and praise from admirers, including Sir Frederic Leighton, who encouraged its acquisition for the nation. It became the first of Sargent’s works to enter a British public collection, and today it resides in Tate Britain. The scene captures the quiet enchantment of evening the hush of a garden, the gleam of lanterns, the fragrance of blooms distilled into a single suspended breath where the ephemeral beauty of nature and the artistry of light merge into something timeless.

In this MuséeCast session, Jonas Studer, performing as Badawan, delivers a set that bends genres and redefines the dancefloor’s edge. Moving between deep, psychedelic textures, hypnotic midtempo grooves, and driving rhythmic progressions, he shapes a sound that feels both raw and deliberate. There’s a storyteller’s pulse to the way he shifts from shadowy, progressive passages into bright, kaleidoscopic moments each change carrying its own sense of momentum. With roots firmly planted in underground culture, his music carries an untamed energy, rich in detail and layered with atmospheric depth. This is Badawan at his most fluid and focused, blending instinct and precision into a performance that stays with you long after the last beat fades.

Voices of Liqiu (Beginning of Autumn) [立秋之音]

☯️The Awakening Pulse: Origin of Autumn Equinox【渐醒之律：秋分起源】

On the night of Liqiu (Beginning of Autumn), as earth's pulse warms, we harvests twelve gems from past seasons, forging this acoustic star chart that traverses dusk till dawn. Beautiful melodies and grooves roam freely within the solar term's cadence, as global downtempo pioneers reinterpret the awakening energy through electronic pulses.

Icy synthesizers and rhythms born of deep night draw back the frost silk curtain. Ancient Eastern spirits intertwine with tribal echoes, just like Dunhuang whirlwinds lifting African savanna sands. Electronic mist dissolves boundaries between the real world and energy world. Neons of cyber metropolis bleed into whispered holographic geisha, overlapping with forest sprites dancing around primal fires. Warm final notes ascend with the sun to daybreak's threshold, darkness torn by pulse-illumined gilded fissures.

This compilation converges 23 sound alchemists from Germany, Ukraine, France, India, Mexico, Switzerland, Australia, Canada, Sweden, Italy, China, USA, and Spain. It’s an electronic offering to nature, yet also a gentle awakening tap to modern consciousness.

Whether at festivals, clubs, chillout bars, or during midnight meditation, balcony reveries, sunrise yoga, mountain trail solitude, this album will flush your synapses with glacial frequencies, shake dormant bones with subterranean bass, and awaken the pulse slumbering within your spine.

Absolutely loved playing this special after hour for such an open minded community for my Sweden debut! My only goal was to fuel the vortex for the last ones standing with a trip to (twisted) fantasy ;)..Looking up and seeing heads down, eyes closed and everyone moving for no one but themselves was such a rare and beautiful energy to be a part of.... Thank you to the entire Nattöga crew for welcoming me with such warmth, and a BIG thank you to all of the professional ravers who guided me on this journey and danced with me into the early hours <3

Hey Folks! 

I’m super excited about this one and it’s out today on all platforms! . Myself and the legend himself “Master Bay” got together a couple years ago to collaborate. He threw down some inspired vocals riffing his own animal language and I think it hits the spot just right. Master Bay being 6 years old at the time shows talent can come from anywhere and I’m honoured to be the first to capture this raw and unique performance. What a legend 👑 
I showcased his mad vocal at Fusion festival playing the stem over my old Papio edit and I can’t wait to play this one out live in its full form soon.

Show some love for the kid!

Oh, and he did the art work :)
