Artist: The Open Circle [Greyscale / Crossfade Sounds/ Axaminer / OHM Series / ODrex]

Our 17th Frontier journey comes from Belgian producer Geert Thirry better known as - The Open Circle. We have been big fans of The Open Circle since we discovered his music a few years ago. He is an incredible producer and very versatile artist, who’s music can span from deep ambient soundscapes, to low slung chuggy dub techno all the way up to full dance floor fist pumping Techno. His production is mostly done using a Modular synthesizer and some other hardware. Then Layered textures and evolving rhythms are built to define the signature style with analog warmth and hypnotic depth.  

Geert has been producing music for many years, His first EP was actually released back in 2003 on the UK label ” Lost Language “as a double vinyl. Released under the alias Karada the release was more in the melodic Techno sphere. Since then his style and sound has developed into the deep Dub Techno he is known for today. His productions have been gathering more and more acclaim with his recent release on the legendary Greyscale placing him firmly towards to the top echelons of the Dub Techno world. 

We are honoured to be able to welcome Geert to the Dub Explorations and Frontier family and look forward to hearing his future productions.

The Frontier 017 - The Open Circle

The whole place was bursting with energy. Once-shy kids swarmed the rides, and fans of Asian cuisine kept seizing the food stalls. It seemed like there wasn’t a single hungry or unhappy soul left in the area. Even an old one-legged hurdy-gurdy player was enjoying unprecedented popularity.

— This game taught me how to shoot. Plasma blaster range, what a nostalgia!
— I’m more into barrel pickles and sausages with lager.

Stuffed to the brim, Cat made a wild attempt at Celtic dancing, moving so clumsy that he kept bumping into everyone in sight. The booze and the atmosphere of reckless joy were getting the better of him.

— You’re seriously loaded, Fluffball. Try not to fall over.
— Let’s fire up a portal flash just for fun! I just need to activate it and… oh no! I think I lost it.
— Lost what?
— My smart bracelet…
— I’m constantly amazed by how hopeless my partner is!

With a frustrated wave of a hand, Spacelunch stormed off. His silhouette vanished into the crowd just as quietly as the key accessory, that custom-made piece of tech, had gone missing. The professor was baffled by this unpleasant turn of events, a fresh wave of unease settling over him.

LPY Mix Series 21 - Alastair Kelly

Madah Sounds present Paranoid SouL @spaceviewx

Paranoia/
The bass throbs like a heavyweight deep within my ribs, a palpable force that resonates with every pulse. Hi-hats shimmer in my peripheral vision, sharp and fleeting, teasing my senses. Echoes wrap around me, layers of sound folding in on themselves, transforming into thoughts that swirl and intertwine, evolving into a profound certainty. Yet, in this moment, I realise: I am not simply hearing the music. The music is reaching out, listening to my very essence, inviting me to connect.

Bio/
Owner & founder of SPACE VIEWX. 

A Paranoid SouL is a gnomic, yet imperceptible gathering
That's held after every second.
This is where perplexed intellects, interjected interpretations,
petrified moods, unaccustomed angles, undistinguished trains...
Constrained recommendations...
Encounter to work on their differences, formulate the existence
of David Njandin.

Memoirs of a Latent Pharmacologist: Volume 1.

The Avenue Red Podcast hits the quarter of a millennium episode... Enter Nuremberg artist and DJ, Armin Bender.

"So, what can I tell about this mix? It was recorded in my home studio, where I used an Allen & Heath Xone mixer, 2x Technics decks & a CDJ plus a Korg Kaosspad for effects. I selected many new and some older trax with deep and timeless attitude from artists and labels I really like, and I tried to create a flow as I always do. I hope you can feel it... Deepness rules!"

OHM Series with Pedro Capelossi

Spacelunch (short. spclnch) is a Dutch electronic music label with an emphasis on the dub sound founded in Minsk in 2019 by Thomas Carmody (@thomascarmody). The key ethical principles are an individual approach and a careful selection which allows you to get the best possible from the communication with artists.

The concept of releases is dedicated to a fantastic multimedia universe. The space adventures of Spacelunch and Cat unfold in episodes of an interactive musical comic. Each of them has an original script, and they are connected by a consistent storyline.
