The landscapes of Orlan 19 resembled the dream of a mad cartographer: cliffs were floating above the surface, horizons were bending and vanishing into infinity, and energy vortices were flaring up beneath their feet in psychedelic patterns. The familiar laws of physics didn’t apply here — gravity shifted chaotically, and time flew with unpredictable intensity. As Spacelunch, absorbed in thought, stroked the ground which distorted like a mirage under his touch, Cat’s grumbling echoed simultaneously from the past and future:

— Doc, don’t you think we’re just walking in circles?
— No wonder. That’s how inverse modelling works. Every action we take reshapes the surrounding space.
— Can you explain it in simpler terms? There’s only one genius here.
— Ever heard of the Philadelphia Experiment?
— Of course! You know how much I love sushi rolls!
— Well, I set myself up for this predicament... Back in my university days, we experimented with magnetic fields trying to program them by thought. You get where I’m going, don’t you? The planet is reacting to our intentions. So, focus on visualizing the portal.

The confusion on Cat’s face gave way to a mask of detachment. Clusters of matter began to tremble pulling the threads of reality to their breaking point before finally forming a vortex. Having devoured as much as it could, the vortex snapped shut with a loud pop and dissolved in a blinding flash.

As the scene began to take shape, silhouettes emerged under the soft glow of a desk lamp, evoking an overwhelming sense of nostalgia. A worn desk and a small bed stood by the wall adorned with faded photographs, while the floor let out a gentle creak underfoot. The clearer the interior came to be, the more paralyzing the realization, and the more elusive the explanation for what had happened became.

— Holy...! Cat, are we looking at the same thing? 
— Yeah, but... This can’t be real.

Spacelunch slowly approached the window and froze still. A single thought raced through his mind: “The only force strong enough to pull me this far... was love.”

PREMIERE: Upwellings – Magnetic Steps [ spclnch ]

The casino, tucked away in an old freight terminal, had no name on the facade. Locals simply called it “The Hum” — a place where you could lose your money, and maybe even your mind. The air was thick with tobacco smoke and cheap perfume, and the ceiling sank into a pulsing dim light.

Spacelunch passed a row of slot machines, where regulars pressed the buttons like condemned souls, and stopped at the roulette table. Fraudlin, a scrawny gambling addict with a blank expression, was sucking the last puff out of a cigarette butt as if no one else existed. Suddenly, a figure in a long coat appeared beside him.

— You only show up when things get tough.
— Fair. Today I need your ears.
— Heard about Cat. Word is, the bracelet has changed hands — more than once. And not just the bracelet. Some data on your whereabouts, too.
— Any idea who’s behind it?

Fraudlin flicked the ash, watching the roulette pill slide into a black slot.
— Rumour has it the trail runs through the old customs department. A lot of middlemen down there are working under the Corporation’s wing. Too neat to be a coincidence.
— You think Cat set me up?
— Sometimes it’s easier to blame the closest one than to admit you got outplayed.

Silence fell, full of second-guesses and afterthoughts. Spacelunch reached into his coat and tossed a credit chip onto the pile of chips.

— Let me know if anything new comes up.
— Don’t worry. The Hum hears everything. Keep my channel open.

Premiere: Upwellings – Magnetic Steps (Fingers In The Noise Remix)

SPCLNCH-BLACK continues: a series where minimalism becomes message, and sound drifts between the real and the imagined.

Chapter two — “Echoes From Iconia” by Basicnoise. Shifting time layers, slow pulses, and distant patterns with no clear origin. The signal is a trace of something that was here — or still is. You listen. Something listens back.

.

Logbook. Exploration mission.

Day 1. The planet is dead. An anomaly is detected — the time flow is slightly distorted.

Day 2. Landed in the central crater. The clocks of our suits show different times from the clocks on the ship. The gap is increasing.

Day 4. Logs contain records of events that never happened. A report of tomorrow’s evacuation appeared in the system. No one wrote it.

Day 5. We found footprints leading from the landing site to the crater, identical to ours. The ship log was discovered nearby. Final entry: “Do not enter the crater.”

Log transmission terminated. The crew did not reestablish contact.

Basicnoise – Echoes From Iconia | SPCLNCHBLACK02

They simply called it “The Laboratory.” There were no windows — only the hum of life-support systems and aquariums filled with lifeforms that defied classification. On evenings like this, Spacelunch would tune the setup, Cat would yank out unnecessary cables with his tail, and everything would freeze in anticipation of the signal. A deep, steady mix filled the space, seeping into reservoirs, consoles, and whispering sensors. Something flared, something trembled — as if the environment itself was trying to synchronize with the rhythm. Later, a new chapter would appear in the Professor’s log: “Sample 93.”

Basicnoise - Welcome To Iconia [spclnch]

Somewhere in the mobile lab…

“As soon as the instructions have arrived, we will open the portal.”
“Uploading the memory… and done!”

Everything was going according to plan. Two figures in matte suits stood by the station where a smart bracelet was secured. Its flickering indicator showed that the synchronisation and data reading were in progress. The lines from the Protocol lit up on the holographic panel, along with Spacelunch’s face and the message: “Cloning completed successfully. Compatibility confirmed. Double awaiting command.” The professor’s copy looked more convincing than the original. The only thing left was to activate the teleport via a special procedure and send the double to Chinatown, for which the coordinates were preloaded.

For millennia, the best minds of the Aerospace Corporation had built their reputation on cutting-edge tech. But at what cost? The Cybernetics Department had long mastered the art of acquiring — by any means necessary — external breakthroughs and weaving them into their own algorithms. This wasn’t just about innovation anymore. It was a confrontation. And its final result would be a delicacy for any of the Minimal Antagonist’s protégés.

Imagine you're at a great techno party and have just heard the last track when the DJ switches on the lights and a murmur spreads through the crowd: It's time for the afterhour!

Welcome to a world where the sun is not the enemy, but a silent witness to sleepless nights and unlimited dance floor adventures

The afterhour is more than just an extension of the night - it is a universe of its own full of quirky, heartfelt and often hilarious moments. It is the place where the music lives on, time stands still and the party community forges its strongest bonds - even if it is sometimes only perceived with half an open eye and a wry smile. 

Over 10 years we host our famous podcast series. Which started as an small idea of some Afterhour nerds developed over the years to something special for us ♥️

In the beginning, we focused on finding and supporting (un)known artists through blog posts, reposts and podcast contributions. Gradually, we expanded our sections to include live recordings and premieres. In-house releases and events were not long in coming. 

Join us and dive into the world of Afterhour Sounds. https://t.me/afterhour_sounds  🌈 🎵 🪩

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.

* We are always open to promoting high-quality music from third-party sources! To get an author's review/premiere — write to the email: spclnch@gmail.com

2.7.2025 S.U.N. Festival (Chill Stage)

3.8.2025 Ozora Festival (Ambyss)
7.8.2025 Apsara Festival (Chill Stage)

Alpha Hypnotica is a unique project based on the mystical relationship and spiritual journey of a soulmate couple - Tomin and Emerencia. Each creation is born at the height of the divine energy beyond the manifested Universe between the dimensions of space and time. They take the listener on a sacred journey into magical realms, harmonizing the wonderful frequencies found along the composition process. From these sacred sounds a powerful music is created, which guides us towards our inner voice promoting self-realization and endless liberation, where all beings dance and exist in pure harmony, in unconditional love, in complete unity.

The music is based primarily on the following main pillars:

•	Own-recorded vocals, acoustic instruments and sounds from nature
•	Electronic, orchestral and cinematic elements
•	Psychedelic, deep, mysterious and hypnotic atmosphere
•	Epic, storytelling and often dramatic arrangements with gradual build-up and a tense-relieving peak with strong impact
•	Spiritual undertones including lyrics in Sanskrt, English or Hungarian language. 

All these are pervaded by profound spirituality, eastern philosophies and primordial tantra-yoga with a clear message: We are all One, the Ultimate Consciousness, the Source of all existing, the true Self.

Long story short: The similar musical taste, strong spiritual bond, desire to create something special and inspired by unconventional festivals, such as Ozora, led this married couple to sit together in studio to create their first song in 2018. This is how Alpha Hypnotica was born. Although the idea, concept and basic composition are born together, the gentle and mysterious voice belongs to Emerencia, while Tomin is in charge of production and post-production. He is also a professional DJ, music producer, composer, sound engineer with a 20+ years of experience. As a solo artist he acts under the moniker Tomin Tomovic focusing on melodic/deep house, hypnotic and dub techno. He has already released several tracks on prestigious labels and performed on various domestic and international venues. Currently he leads a Slovak indie house music label called Seta Label. 

Their work cannot be easily classified into some of the present musical genres of electronic music. In the broader sense it is a chill-out electronica with mixture of ambient, dub, psybass, emotional cinematic music. The background is made up of deep atmospheric and psychedelic sounds that helps to get the mind into its most creative states: Alpha and Hypnotic(a) – alpha and theta brainwaves using special fine-tuning and psychoacoustic methods.

They have already released two albums on Melusine Records, three EPs on Merkaba Music and couple of singles on different labels such as Cosmicleaf Records and Blue Tunes Chillout. They enjoy regular support from channels and DJs such as Psychedelic Muse, Astral Dude, Dj Lorn (Ancient Realms), Λ L Ι Ξ Ν, etc.

Latest EP on Merkaba Music: https://merkabamusic1.bandcamp.com/album/krama

Co-production with Zero Cult on Cosmicleaf Records: https://cosmicleaf.bandcamp.com/album/alpha-zero


When performing on stage the DJ sets begin with a deep and meditative ambient and gradually increasing the tempo and the vertical energy with pleasant chill-step and psybient aiming into energetic psybass or intelligent downtempo. They also like to include also tracks from other great artists, who inspire them: Aes Dana, Kalya Scintilla and Merkaba artists, Asura, Cell, Carbon Based Lifeforms, Zero Cult, Eguana, Side Liner, Martin Nonstatic, Logical Elements. They performed on domestic and international festivals such as Grape Festival, UfoBufo Festival, Apsara, Samsara.
