This recording is from the 8th Day of Creation opening night at AfrikaBurn on the 30.04.24. It was such an extraordinary experience to close up our lovely art piece with these eerie tunes. Our hearts went into this project, so to play at such a special occasion was a unique moment. I'm grateful to everyone who made this happen, and excited for next years edition 🩵

SYNESTHES!A ⁄⁄ Extraterrestrial Transmissions 👾 Closing Set @8DoC Stage | AfrikaBurn 2024

I finally had the opportunity to re-record this mega special set that I played earlier this year at @8doc_music x @lacunacast's event Elemental Dreams on the Fire floor. These two collectives came together to create one of the most magical spaces I've been fortunate to witness - a true wonderland of escape to explore the different elements in. The crew were hard at work, but I switched my plans up to get back to Berlin a few days earlier to help curate this dancefloor and help build the DJ box / fire yoni structure (cover photo from post event - no camera policy :)).

For this set I wanted to try something a little different and really push my boundaries in terms of presenting a fresher sound than what's already been done in the pretty saturated downtempo scene of Berlin. Therefore I pulled on my psytech collection and had fun pitching down tracks for the majority of this set. I was also playing after the maestro @temple-tears for one of his apparent last downtempo sets - a dream slot and so I had to deliver. The result: a slow, deep and primal narrative full of fire and psychedelicness 🔥

8DoC x Lacuna: Elemental Dreams ~ Fire Floor, Berlin [21 Sep 2024] <downtempo/psytech>

Driven by a passion for discovering music; deacon has built a formidable collection spanning from downtempo through psychedelic techno to a deep progressive all containing a homogeneous groovy energy and impeccable sound design. Currently signed to @techgnosisrecords, he carefully selects tracks to create an eccentric narrative tailored to each event and lineup with one purpose: to introduce new sounds that bridge division and bring connection through sound and movement.

Full bio:
Driven foremost by a passion for discovering new music; Matthew Deacon has built a treasure chest of audible gold and has been sharing these gems with dancefloors for over a decade now.

A varying palate for sound led to the discovery of psychedelic techno in 2017 and prompted a rebrand under his namesake with a more focused sound. Hooked by the layers, depth, vast variety of sounds and intrinsic musical nature the genre presented led to the emergence of the soundscape we know as Deacon.

As time progressed he started discovering more music, artists and labels representing these similar characteristics; at a higher tempo there was deep/dark progressive, a lighter side of Zenonesque, and slowing things down with a reinterpretation of downtempo, akin to pitched down techno. And whilst these can be considered three distinct genres, they all hold a similar energy; with deep basslines, organic elements and impeccable production, and Deacon enjoys navigating between them. Carefully selecting tracks to create an eccentric narrative tailored to the event and lineup with one purpose: to bridge division and bring connection through sound and movement.

Taking influences from his environments and his deep love for a wide range of music, the trained producer branched out into various genres, taking the essence of what he felt resonated most with him in that given genre and re-applying it into a different context and character. He created two different projects mainly infused by Deep / Groovy / Bouncy sounds.

SYNESTHES!A -  traveling through the faster moving realms of dance music. 

Synesthesia is a neurological condition in which information meant to stimulate one of your senses stimulates several of your senses. Synesthesia comes from the Greek words: "Synth" (meaning together) and "Ethesia" (meaning perception). 

Numeraki - venturing in the slower paced landscapes / beats.

"Nu" (phonetic pronounciation for new) and "Meraki" which is a modern Greek word, derived from the Turkish “Merak” (to do something with soul, creativity, or love; to put something of yourself into your work). 

The more freedom he is given to experiment and try out new things, the happier he is, forging together a mix of sounds which will surprise your senses and make you perceive music in a whole new light.
