Sonic Expeditions

Hear the first mix of our series 'Sonic Expeditions' by one of our label artists @paaxtulum. Their music varies in intensity, tone, style, and content conveyed — “a total fusion like life itself”, as they put it. For this mix they selected music for the senses and music as a vehicle for expression, just like in their EP, Wallas, with remixes by Stefan Obermaier, Holed Coin and Pandhora.

Aaroon's @aaroonofficial musical background is a technicolored meandering across genres and cultures as this London-born, Thailand-raised, Berlin-based producer-DJ satisfied his urge to shake, rattle, swipe and prod every instrument he could get his hands on. When asked to shed light on this latest mix for the Scorpios label, Aaroon pondered: "Maybe it's a DJ mix to go with my Cry for Kashmir release? Or as a re-cap on the season... a type of closing set? Maybe just a testament to how we can still enjoy good music whist the world is upside down?" For a man of indecisive words, he certainly knows how to curate music with conviction. Listen here.

Riding a creative wave with such sophistication as @derunmusic requires a musical mettle made of something almost cosmic.

This mixtape gives a glimpse into Derun's travels and the inspiration that being on the road brings. 
Their advice: "Listen with your heart."

Ahead of the release of joyous ode to summer, ‘Lava’ on Scorpios Music, Valeron takes us through his influences with a timely Sonic Expeditions mix that traverses influences from around the world.

Valeron - Sonic Expeditions 018

Scorpios Music is a field research endeavor probing into the synaesthetic potentiality of music, an imprint for an exploratory strain of various danceable and listenable genres, and a testimony to how — in concrete experiential terms — music is the most vigorous, meaningful, and beautiful language in the world. 

With a focus on electronic music exhibiting subtle-to-bold elements of the primeval and far-flung, Scorpios Music is the immortalization of a soundscape — that which Scorpios Mykonos has traversed since materializing as a club in 2015 throughout the process of establishing itself to near-universal acclaim as a tribal enclave of eudaimonic hedonism and the seedbed of aesthetically oriented empathetic sociality.
