Andhera’, darkness in sanskrit.⁠
⁠
Where there’s darkness, we will find light.⁠
⁠
With every Full Moon or solar eclips I will present a new artist which I highly admire, respect and who empowers and understands the dark, ambient and emotional side of techno.⁠
⁠
The Full Moon is a time of blossom and highlights.⁠
The Full Moon equals the spiritual and energetic culmination. ⁠
When the Full Moon has passed, the waning moon phase begins. ⁠
This is the time to let go what no longer serves you. ⁠
⁠
The Full Moon in Virgo on Feb 24th invites you on an inner journey of reflection and self-discovery. The Full Moon highlights the need to find balance between the earthly and spiritual aspects of our lives, inviting you to follow your true path. Be open to change and be guided by the energies of this Full Moon to explore and transform your inner world.

This Full Moon in the earthly constellation Virgo, with the sun directly opposite in mystical Pisces. The Full Moon can have a strong effect on everyone's life, potentially creating a struggle between the characteristics of these two opposite signs, as well as an inner conflict between emotion and reason. This creates a field of tension that can stimulate the consideration of important decisions and the cutting of knots.
⁠
A well-balanced, deep and intense journey, embodied by this month's guest: an Italian mastermind who goes by the name https://soundcloud.com/oscvomklangleiser and who definitely doens't need any introduction!

Andhera XVII w/ ØSC

We've got a special selector playing her Blitz debut upcoming Saturday, the 4th of May: Ceri! And we're happy to have her contributing an hour of music to our Blitzcast series ahead of her performance, too.

Her journey into the world of dance music was ignited by legendary venues like Fabric, Plastic People, and Ibiza’s DC-10 – rites of passage for many UK dance music fans! Now, armed with a wealth of experience and as the label head of Find Your Own Records she’s a marathon-set seasoned selector, focusing on deep house and drawing inspiration from timeless Chicago and Detroit sounds, as well as dubbed-out soundscapes and the grooves of UK-Garage. 

Catch her on Saturday 04/05 on our PLUS floor alongside Dee Diggs and Julie Fleischer and Marron, Regal86, Phase Fatale & the Zenker Brothers on our Blitz floor.

Ceri had a few words on the mix, too!

> I recorded this mix on a rainy day in Ibiza, so it has some darker, raw and moodier elements, with many tracks having a minor key, plus of course some happier and housier, with some vocal numbers too, to lift those spirits. Most of the tracks are old from the 80's and 90's which is my favourite period for proper House and Techno.

I hope it captures the sounds of Germany, the UK, Chicago, and Detroit, which are all where all my biggest musical inspirations and love for music comes from. One track is currently going for over €100 on discogs, another is the bargain price of €0.55 and just as good (if not better!), some are unreleased, a few are new, one track I got someone to bring all the way from the USA for me, and in my opinion, all are timeless, which is what I love. I only play music that touches my soul in some way... 

I am very happy and honoured to be playing Blitz Club, a place with such a revered music policy, great line ups, and a no camera rule, which always makes the best nights for me. 

When there are no phones on the dancefloor, the crowd are always so much more open and up for it, because they are there for the music first. I always feel like I let loose even more when I am in places like this too, I feel more comfortable to dance like crazy, sweat, and experiment more. I am really looking forward to seeing what happens on Saturday... I don't know what will happen yet because I have to feel the energy on the night to know where to go. And I am sure we will go on a beautiful journey together. 

I hope you like the mix! Sending love and good vibes to everyone listening and everyone coming on Saturday. <

Blitzcast 019 : Ceri

Joy and terror are two sides of the same coin, each amplifying the other in moments of intensity. Joy bursts forth as a radiant release, while terror grips with shadowed urgency—both reminding us of the raw, unfiltered depths of being alive. Together, they shape the extremes of the human experience.

Sekwencja 04
Mørk jest członkiem kolektywu Velvet Vortex. Lubi połączenie naturalnych dźwięków z surową elektroniką. Choć głównie gra deep i hipnotyczne techno, czasem sięga po mocniejsze i szybsze brzmienia. Stara się, aby każdy jego set był  unikalną opowieścią, której celem jest zabranie słuchaczy w hipnotyczny trans i pozwolenie im na zanurzenie się w muzyce całkowicie.
