2020 - V R 1 (YoY Project Remix) - SNIPPET

Eight World – Lament Over the Cosmic Egg by Ernst Fuchs (1947) one of the earliest significant works by Austrian painter Ernst. Only 17 years old at the time, Fuchs had recently enrolled at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna, where he was studying under Professor Albert Paris Gütersloh. The painting reflects a remarkable level of technical skill and philosophical depth for such a young artist, offering a glimpse into the symbolic and spiritual vision that would later define Fuchs' mature style.

Rendered in a mixed technique of tempera and oil glaze on wood, this work exemplifies the early stylistic foundation of what would later become known as the Vienna School of Fantastic Realism a post-war artistic movement cofounded by Fuchs in the 1950s alongside artists such as Arik Brauer, Wolfgang Hutter, Rudolf Hausner, and Anton Lehmden. This group sought to combine the classical painting techniques of the Old Masters with surreal and symbolic imagery that explored dreams, metaphysics, and the unconscious.

The composition of Eight World – Lament Over the Cosmic Egg is visually structured and allegorically rich. It is centered around the image of a cosmic egg, a symbol found in many ancient mythologies representing the origin of the universe, the birth of life, or the fusion of matter and spirit. In this painting, the egg appears as a glowing central form, flanked symmetrically by two elongated, ethereal female figures, whose posture and expressions contribute to an atmosphere of solemnity and mystery. The background is divided into three horizontal zones: a dark, watery lower realm; a middle space filled with abstract, flesh-like or geometric forms; and a luminous upper sky, possibly signifying a spiritual or transcendent plane.

The painting’s meticulous glazing technique, inherited from Flemish and Renaissance traditions, creates a jewel-like surface that enhances the dreamlike quality of the image. Fuchs was known for reviving and mastering these older methods to heighten the spiritual intensity of his subjects. His early fascination with sacred art, biblical themes, and medieval iconography is already evident here, woven into an original visual language that would later be recognized as central to his oeuvre.

Fuchs’ lifelong engagement with spiritual philosophy, esotericism, and sacred geometry would later become central to his vast body of work, including paintings, stained glass, architectural design, and religious sculpture. Eight World – Lament Over the Cosmic Egg is thus not only a powerful standalone piece but also a formative step in a career devoted to the mystical possibilities of art.

Fuchs continued to develop this visionary aesthetic throughout the 20th century, eventually gaining international acclaim. He died in 2015 in Vienna, leaving behind a legacy that fused classical craftsmanship with surreal imagination and spiritual inquiry.

For this special MuséeCast session, Octave Marbot the DJ and producer from Kaiserslautern (hertzmusic) takes on the role of your trusted tripsitter through the electronic underground. Since 1999, he has been navigating the audio galaxies to bring the sound of the universe to the dancefloor. With a deep-rooted passion for transcendental frequencies, Marbot crafts an experience that is more than just a set; it is a guided journey through states of mind and space.

Drawing from mystical and psychedelic sounds sourced from all corners of the world and beyond his set fuses hypnotic basslines, percussive grooves, spacey synth riffs, and a subtle infusion of acid and trance. The result is an atmospheric ascent into cosmic spheres, where sound becomes light and rhythm becomes gravity. Just as the energy peaks, he gently brings the listener back down, landing softly on the edge of the inner world.

MuséeCast 024 by Octave Marbot

That morning on the day of the summer solstice, the little witch woke up in a cool and damp forest. With her eyes still half-open from a good night’s sleep, her heart suddenly skipped a beat from excitement when she realized the next night there would be a full moon, which meant she’ll participate in the monthly witch coven (which always happens in a different location and in the ever-changing company of two other witches).
After finishing her daily inspection round of the muddy woods, the barefoot girl washed her feet in a little stream, said goodbye to the forest dwellers, and flew into the unknown. She knew she would – as always - reach her destination by simply following her inner compass.
This time she flew straight from Flanders to the South (even slightly to the South-West) and it was a really long flight. Never before had she ventured into this direction. After flying all day long over a variety of lush green landscapes, she saw a mountain range in the distance. She realized these must be the Pyrenees, which she knew from the stories of elder witches. Soon she was flying higher and higher through a valley which became narrower and narrower. Sunset time was nearing and the little witch realized she had to stop somewhere for the night. When reaching the highest ridge of these mountains, she spotted a couple of friendly griffon vultures. For a while she joined the two majestic birds who were soaring high above the mountain peaks. The little witch had never seen such elegant birds in flight. She also noticed the shape of the mountains was very different from the Alps (which she had seen a few times already). The peaks were not as high and had a much rounder shape than the sharp and angular mountain ridges of the Alps. The griffon vultures invited the girl to the spot where the whole group spends every night, which was a green and almost horizontal meadow just below a beautiful dome-shaped mountain top. It was a wonderful vantage point to observe the glorious sunset. When looking around, the witch spotted the impressive silhouette of an Ibex standing on the very top of the nearby mountain. Despite the distance of half a mile, the witch could clearly see his extremely long horns curving backwards, and she admired the proud and authoritarian posture of the animal. This was obviously an alpha male. The griffon vultures told the witch that these Iberian Ibexes had been introduced in the Pyrenees by humans a few years ago, as a replacement for the endemic Pyrenean Ibex which had gone extinct around the year 2000. And the species is now hesitantly starting to thrive again, with 3 young calves being born during the last couple of weeks.
A few minutes after spotting this impressive animal, the mountain range was covered in darkness, only lit by the rising full moon and millions of bright stars (easily the brightest starry sky the girl had ever seen), while the temperatures rapidly plunged below the freezing point and a thick fog engulfed the whole mountain and they were surrounded by complete silence … Mother Earth was holding her breath …

This Month features guest - Diereva for the 50th Elysium Cast.
Enjoy the journey!

I recorded this live set during the night between June 28th and 29th at the Sanctuary in Milan.
Unlike last year’s live set, this time I chose to build it with plenty of space for change and improvisation, so it could adapt to each context and stay flexible in structure.
Lately, I’ve been feeling a bit constrained by sticking to a single genre and fixed BPMs, so I wanted to give myself the freedom to explore different directions and follow more spontaneous impulses.
All the tracks were composed specifically for live set. I’ve also included two pieces from the set I created with Laaar (which we performed for the first time this June at La Nature Festival in Belgium).

His depth of spirituality, drawing from the pain and suffering of life, and his love for the people and for music, have all contributed to helping him manifest those most incredible visions.  His level of musical storytelling and selections during his mixes are legendary and show how in tune he is with himself, the hearts of the listeners and dancers, and with God.

📜 STORY 📜

This mix, in particular, is a beauty.  He calls it "Terra Incognita" - Unknown Or Undiscovered Land.

The emotional content and ideas presented here are top tier.

The light and darkness and the mystery of the world just beyond our frontiers and horizons are all drawing us deeper, further, and wider in the vision and journey.

We'll let the mix speak for itself, but be warned, this is not for the superficial or fearful soul.  This is for a deep soul full of courage.  That is where the heart can be found.

📜 BIO 📜

Dirlasion hails from Thessaloniki, Greece. He has been mixing some crazy tunes for the past 30 years he has been in the industry. His sets takes us on a journey to continents with diverse cultures and he has a hold on several genres like electronic, psychill, ambient and of course downtempo.

This is a spiritual journey, a deeper approach than usual mixes. Serious storytelling. Not just art, not just sounds. Power in the music and message. From styles from the trippy side to the dreamy side, or both! It has a deeply spiritual focus. With serious storytelling. With great ethno-organic, organic house, slowtech, psychill, psydub, psybient, downtempo, and whatever else encapsulates the otherworldly in this world. :)

Join the sacred pilgrimage and enter the Mystical Vision!

recorded at zugvøgel 2025 | saunafloor 22–0

direkt aus dem hotdub voll auf dubstanz auf den dancefloor hinter der sauna gestolpert. feine klänge wabern wie dubschwaden, der bass tropft von den körpern und irgendwo zwischen schwitzen und schwoofen fanden wir den flow, der uns in luftige höhen trug. 

nicht so langsam wie sonst und doch entschleunigende spa dubmosphäre.

Syzygy marks the moment of rare alignment – when light and shadow, day and night, sound and silence converge into balance. Echoing the equinox, it is a threshold and a still point between seasons where cycles turn and reveal their hidden symmetry. This 2-hour journey dwells in that liminal state, tracing the subtle tension between motion and stillness, dream and awakening. Another slow gem 80-99 bpm.

Fasten your seatbelts, cosmic monads - "Air Horse One" is cleared for take-off!  🚀
This isn’t just another flight. This is a full-blown, bass-fueled journey stitched together with sparks, crunch, and a healthy dose of galactic chaos. "Air Horse One" and their faithful passengers are here to bounce you headfirst into uncharted sonic dimensions.

The ride kicks off in true tradition with “Piezzo Spender” - the spark plug for the engine, buzzing, fizzing, and exploding with pure electric lunacy as the thrusters roar to life. Also stashed in the cabin: “Knäggebrot” - the crunchy lifesaver for all those dropped jaws. And trust us – you’ll need it, because this trip dives straight into dirty interstellar terrain, woven together with heavyweight basslines that hit harder than turbulence at warp speed.  💥🫓

Forget lame champagne in Business Class - this cabin serves fat sound-aperitifs strong enough to shatter the sound barrier in slow motion. What you get is a hypnotic cocktail of slowtechno: thick, groovy, trippy, and relentlessly propulsive. It’s not about defence - “Massive Defence” is actually an open-armed embrace, melting melodies into forgiving bassfire that hugs instead of hits.  🫂🔥

And because every great trip needs surprise copilots, we invited "Kerem Genc" and "Kuako" on board. They pop up here and there to grab the controls, steer you sideways, and sprinkle their own spicy signatures into the flightpath.

So… full throttle ahead? Or rather a tipsy, slow-motion shuffle into oblivion?
It’s your trip - and "Air Horse One" just lit the engines.
