∄ 5TH ANNIVERSARY COUNTDOWN WITH RESIDENTS

This next guest has been a loyal contributor to Oslo’s cultural landscape for some years now, and moulded it to his own imagining. Marius Bø is one half of Accelerationism and cofounder of the UTE collective, whose name has become synonymous with surreptitious forest raves and a label of the same name (UTE.REC), publisher to fellow purveyors of contemporary psychedelic trance like Oprofessionell (UTE’s second mastermind) and Alpha Tracks. Creeping out of the Scandinavian forests that have played host to those painstakingly curated gatherings comes a fearsome sound distinctly his own. His work dovetails futuristic soundscapes and old-school acid distortions to mind altering effect, and posits this guttural psychedelic techno as a result. It’s a trance-permeated amalgam that’s gaining traction everywhere from Basel's Elyisa to Taipei’s Pawnshop and a raft of other venues in any city worth its salt. Bassiani Podcast 204 is an atmospheric two-hour blend of vast and trippy beats, primordial techno with woodland roots, where Marius dives into the deeper facets of his collection.

NTS GiGi FM presents Sunju Hargun 22.05.2024

Zenaari's Podcast is back with a very special number, and this one’s from German juggernaut Efdemin. Phillip Sollmann’s nefarious allonym claims a well-deserved space on many a record cover and many a flyer. So large is his footprint that now, years since he first picked up a piece of hardware, or even started building his own, he’s largely liberated from the real world constraints many younger artists face. With nothing left to prove, and all this newfound freedom comes the space to truly probe the possibilities of sound in all its dimensions. This method is tried and tested (think 2019’s New Atlantis), but with each passing year the road travelled gets longer and no less full of surprises. It’s all down to his highly personal and off-centre approach - to be sure, he’s just as comfortable with feel-good techno (and his unconventional treatments make an appearance there too), but the real magic happens without preconceived ideas about genre or format, and the result is both organic and capable of opening doors no-one ever knew existed. Zenaari Mix 013 is a mind-maze in sound, from gentle piano and theremin allusions, to spoken narratives and dialogues that anticipate the world to come, and of course, there are Sollmann’s beloved bells. This is fresh ground trodden, Efdemin bravely charging into the unknown, a strange and spiritual palette of sounds from one of electronic music’s most iconoclastic figures.

∄ 5TH ANNIVERSARY COUNTDOWN: VITALII SHEVCHENKO

This week, we're listening to Nastya Vogan for ∄ 5th Anniversary Countdown.

The resident's set conceals well-known vocal parts and enchanting textures. Soft and warm ritual motifs turn into pensive sequences without losing the counterpoint of four-to-the-floor. The set ends with a slow dance to the cover by the band Nichlava of the song Invite Me to Your Dreams, famously performed by Nazariy Yaremchuk.

In addition to DJing, Nastya produces and composes her own music, showcasing everything from captivating live solo performances to creative collaborations. You may have experienced her electronic mono-opera with Albert van Abbe or heard her on the Standard Deviation label. Nastya is also a co-organizer and teacher at the Module Exchange electronic music school in Kyiv.

Listen to Nastya Vogan's new set, played on 25.08.24 at Backyard.

Цього тижня слухаємо Nastya Vogan для ∄ 5th Anniversary Countdown. 

Сет резидентки ховає в собі знайомі вокальні партії та магічні текстури. Мʼякі й теплі ритуальні мотиви переходять у задумливі секвенції, не гублячи контрапункту прямої бочки. А закінчується виступ артистки повільним танцем під кавер групи «Нічлава» на композицію «Запроси мене у сни», відомою у виконанні Назарія Яремчука.

Крім диджеїнгу Nastya Vogan займається написанням власної музики, живими сольними виступами та творчими колабораціями. Ви могли бачити її спільну електронну монооперу з Albert van Abbe або ж, наприклад, чути треки артистки на лейблі Standard Deviation. Також Nastya Vogan є співорганізаторкою та викладачкою в школі електронної музики Module Exchange у Києві.
