bees built a hive
and dark honey filled..

..drowning out thoughts
making it hard to move my eyes..

..hard to move my hands
indescribable grand indifference..

..dishonored and tragic
she was all before me..

Welcome back to the Magician On Duty Journey Series!

On this edition we welcome • kośa • (@kosamusica)

Meet • kośa • the sonic sorcerer and the artistic alter ego of the enigmatic Tarun Jakhodia. Kośa is not just a soundsmith; he's a culinary maestro, concocting a rich blend of downtempo, acid house, and minimal//deep-tech, traversing the sonic spectrum at a languid pace of 80 to 120 beats per minute. 

His sonic alchemy produces electronic landscapes that are simultaneously structured and organic, weaving deep hypnotic meditative grooves and robust kicks. What sets Kośa apart is his infusion of Indian, Arabic, and other ethnic influences, giving birth to a genre he eloquently terms 'spiritual deeptech'—a musical odyssey conceived in the clandestine depths of India's underground scene.

Beyond the turntables, Tarun Jakhodia is the architect of Kosa Records. For him, this platform transcends the conventional; it's a realm where diverse ideas converge purely for the sake of art, eschewing the pursuit of social recognition.

It's a rebellion against the systematic exploitation of an artist's energy, a movement to rediscover the essence of the soul in synchronicity. As Tarun aptly puts it, "there are no limits, as there is no mind." In this space, creativity knows no boundaries, and the pursuit of art becomes a transcendental journey.

I hope you enjoy this journey as much as I did!

Sofacast 87 | Doron

It was mid-January in the witch’s forest, and after the floods came the sudden cold. It was freezing day and night, and the nymph’s pond was covered with ice. And after the first snowstorm since 3 years, the whole forest was covered with an immaculately white carpet of snow. Everything had gone silent.
But the next day, the sun was finally shining and despite the subzero temperatures, Hekske (the little witch) and Falke (the 10-year old witch apprentice) decided to take a dive in the nymph’s pond. While making as little noise as possible, they broke the ice and waded into the crystal clear water. Despite the cold, the water felt as pleasant and revitalizing as ever.
Meanwhile, Lalita (the Asian nymph) was already preparing a delicate massage oil in her little cauldron using spices from her home country of Sri Lanka.  She had prepared the oil according to an old ayurvedic recipe which had been passed on from nymph to nymph for over 2500 years.
By the time the massage oil was ready and had cooled down to the ideal temperature, the witches had finished their bath and Hekske lied down on her belly on a comfortable soft bed of moss, waiting for what was about to come.
Given the freezing temperatures, Lalita didn’t waste much time and poured the first few drops of the warm ayurvedic oil on the little witch’s legs, after which she gently rubbed the oil into her soft skin, while the sophisticated scent of cinnamon and cardamom spread through the forest.  The massage oil quickly warmed up her feet and legs, until her whole body was glowing while her mind slowly drifted away in a state of deep relaxation. 
Strangely, the air on her skin gradually changed from ice-cold to tropically hot. And the quiet winter forest was suddenly lush and green and bustling with life. The little witch listened to a spellbinding concert of unknown song birds, like the yigüirro and the quetzal. And in the distance she heard the calming sound of the Nauyaca Waterfall. This place felt like a true garden of Eden.
Meanwhile the massage was still going on, deeper and more soothing than ever. While still keeping her eyes closed, Hekske was trying to figure out who was massaging her now. She tuned in to the energy field of the man who was giving her the massage. Never before had she felt so many different layers of energy, each layer deeper and more sophisticated than the previous one. Finally she connected with the purest energy she had ever felt, while her whole body and soul drifted towards complete ecstasy. This massage touched her to the deepest part of her soul …

Does chill dub techno exist?

This week I switched back around to a trusty mackie 1202 and my original scarlett 2i2. All sounding really good. A little noisy, but who cares these days.

Started with a 57 on all the birds outside this am. Added a cr-78-ish beat via the tr6s. Arp from the mopho. Fed these thru the mackie with boss delay and reverb on the aux channels. Added bass guitar, some almost dub chuck keys (analog), shimmer strat, and farted around w/ the new akai dub siren plug in.

Nice mix of analog, live instruments, and the computer!

In 2004, legendary and genre-defining Danish label Iboga Records donned their slippers and smoking jackets, reclined, and cozily launched a new sub-label: Sofa Beats. The idea was to broadcast their previously unprofessed love for the myriad of shades and styles that make up mid-tempo and downtempo electronic music. 

Sofa Beats is run from Copenhagen by the laidback yet discerning A&R Alexander Descroix. The chill out legion of Sofa Beats aficionado is secretly among you in every corner of the world, rhythmically nodding to his headphones, quietly content and in-the-know. 

Sofa Beats abides by their motto: 
A COMFORTABLE MULTIVERSE OF SOUND

Going slow since 2004
