Live Laugh Love

AMNESIA // a descent into the void, a remembering through forgetting.
This mix is a spell for slipping out of the mind and back into the body… where the pulse takes over and time dissolves. Dark, driving and transcendent melodic techno with portals opening between every drop.
Crafted for the ones who feel everything too deeply.
For the night-walkers, shadow-dancers, energy shapeshifters.
For the souls who heal through sweat, bass, and surrender.
Let this be your amnesia:
A ritual of release.
A shedding.
A rebirth inside the kick drum.
Close your eyes.
Step through the portal.
Remember who you become in the dark.
🖤✨

THE UNCARVED BLOCK
Chapter One of The Way That Flows

Before the shape, before the sound— 
there is only the block. 
Uncarved, untouched, complete. 

This opening piece marks the first step along The Way That Flows— 
a lo-fi ambient journey steeped in Taoist stillness, 
Zen paradox, and the quiet heart of sound itself. 

It carries the breath of The Fullness, 
a presence not of ego, but of echo. 
Their fingerprints are light. 
The intention is deep. 

Flutes drift like wind through a bamboo grove. 
Beats tap like water drops in a cavern. 
The silence between each note 
speaks more than the notes themselves. 

This is not a song to rush through. 
It is a space to return to. 
To sit. 
To breathe. 
To remember. 

Welcome To The Beginning.

The Uncarved Block

ambivalent

A single moment can alter the course of a life.

In Search for the Gods — Odyssey of Light tells the story of a man shaken by a profound spiritual visitation — a vision so powerful it tears open everything he believed about life, faith and the universe.
Led by a mysterious feminine presence made of light, he sets out across deserts, oceans and night skies to uncover the truth behind what he saw… and why he was chosen.

This version is a special alternative mix, created to explore the track’s more cinematic and spiritual edges.
The official original version will appear on my full concept album Human Odyssey, releasing in January 2027.

Blending orchestral drama, Middle Eastern textures, ethereal choirs and the haunting voice of the oud, this piece captures the moment a broken soul rises, reborn, and steps into destiny.

This is not just a song — it’s a chapter in a much larger story.

In Search for the Gods — Odyssey of Light

[Intro]
So can someone tell me
Was she a vision
Or is she God
I've never seen
Anything quite like it
I've never felt there's anything else, but something inside is shining a light

[Verse 1]
Time
It's not on my side now
As I search the land for the gods
I, I feel you beside me
With tears as I burn in the sun

[Chorus]
I will sail
Ten thousand miles
Just to be with you A while
I will fly
All through the night
I have seen, a truth in light

[Verse 2 - Spoken]
So why was I chosen?
What was this vision?
Am I the one?
I've never felt
Anything quite like it
I had lost, a reason to live, now something inside is showing a light

[Verse 3]
So you hear me screaming
And you felt my shame
My anger feeds me
Now I have seen the lie of man

[Verse 4]
I'll search the darkness
And I'll search the skies
Nothing will keep me, from you, your soul, my guiding light light light light

[Chorus]
I will sail
Ten thousand miles
Just to be with you A while
I will fly
All through the night
I have seen, the truth in light

[The Oud solo]

[Chorus]
I will sail
Ten thousand miles
Just to be with you A while
I will fly
All through the night
I have seen, a truth trough light

[Final Chorus]
I will sail
A thousand miles
Just to be with you A while
I will fly
All through the night
I have seen, my  truth tonight

In Search for the Gods — Odyssey of Light

The chorus melody was suddenly in my mind at night in late 1996. In the early 2010s I created a piece I called „Angel‘s Song“. It is about holiness, a deep and transcendent spirituality, being held in and at the same time being created by God and fulfilling your essence if you are inside this peace. Most of it can't be explained. I mixed three different versions, this is the "stripped-down" acoustic version, which is also the shortest.

❄️ Thomas Carmody presents Afterhour Sounds Podcast Nr. 310 ❄️

Today we have a guest who is a busy artist and much more than just a DJ and producer. Thomas Carmody is not only the label manager of the well-known dub techno label https://soundcloud.com/spclnch, but also the head of https://soundcloud.com/chippychasers The latter is much more than just a house label, however. It is also a record shop in The Hague. Incidentally, Thomas leads the art direction together with a small team (illustrator and script writer). Together they are responsible for the truly unique layout of both labels, as well as their covers, including the new stories and experiences of the two main protagonists of spclnch and Chippy Chasers. These are actually two different comic series. In each new release, the stories of the main protagonists are continued in an illustrative manner. Not without reason an article in FAZEmag was dedicated to him and his label spclnch. 

In his exclusive mix for us, he has thrown some of his favourite gems fromChippy Chasers into one pot and created a cool house leaning after-hours session that really suits any time of day. At times, the mix becomes a little more danceable and engaging. Then it becomes more dreamy and lulling. All in all, it's a really great mix that strikes the perfect balance between tension and relaxation. 
Many thanks to Thomas for this fine session. We also wish you every success with your fascinating projects.

>>> INTERVIEW <<<

✘ What is your musical background?
I produced mostly dub-techno up until 2020, then shifted focus to running two labels — spclnch (Spacelunch) and Chippy Chasers — and the Chippy Chasers Record Store in The Hague, where I'm the founder, curator, and creative producer. I handle A&R, concept and art direction, shaping releases (digital and vinyl), artist relations, and the day-to-day growth of both the labels and the shop.
My taste is broad across genres; what matters is the feel — the movement and emotion — more than the tag on the record. Formative references include Fingers In The Noise (we later collaborated on remixes for Spacelunch) and Sebastian Mullaert, whose deep-techno/ambient sensibility shaped how I think about space, pace, and patience. Frivolous also had a big impact — especially Meteorology, which pushed me toward a more conceptual, colorful approach to sound. We reissued that album together on Chippy Chasers recently as a double LP.
In the last few years I've been deeply immersed in minimal house: stylish, loop-driven, light, and unburdened. It's deceptively hard to produce — a loop that can carry 8–10 minutes with micro-shifts and no dead weight. That challenge is exactly why I love it, and a big part of my work at Chippy Chasers (and in the record store) is to champion this sound. Recent touchpoints: Alex Font and the Acme orbit; Vadim Oslov for endlessly listenable, elegantly reduced loops; and Loopdeville, who fuses minimal house with hip-hop fragments, vocal chops, and broken rhythms in a raw, underground way. Label-wise, Purple Print has been consistently strong; Perceive Records, too — even if it's been quieter lately.

✘ Any thoughts you'd like to share about your set?
It's a straight-through Chippy Chasers label showcase — dance-floor minimal house and house with touches of deep-tech and dub-tech. It moves from the first bar and keeps that energy without theatrics: clean grooves, small details. I close with a gentler piece that works like an outro — a soft way to step out.

🌙This track is dedicated to the power of Shiva. Shiva in Hinduism is considered one of the most powerful gods, embodying many aspects of existence. Its power is multifaceted and can be described through different symbols, images and its roles in mythology: creation and destruction, transformation, tandava - cosmic dance, yoga and asceticism, destruction of time, destruction of demons. Thus, Shiva's power lies not only in physical destruction, but also in deep spiritual transformation, symbolizing the eternal movement of the Universe and the soul🕉️

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  🌈 🎵 🪩

About

https://www.instagram.com/reel/DRMpYn3DaExz7nilHD0_DMTQvKzAScuXxLZdVw0/?igsh=OHV3anV6MTZzaTR0

I’m Dean R. Chandler — a London based songwriter, recording artist, and storyteller. My music is rooted in a lifelong search for meaning, weaving together themes of love, loss, faith, alien contact, and humanity’s future.

My upcoming double concept album Human Odyssey (set for release in January 2027) is the culmination of decades of writing and reflection. It’s a narrative journey that begins with a search for God and ends with an encounter with extraterrestrial intelligence — exploring not only what it means to be human, but also where we might be heading as a species. Musically, it draws inspiration from the epic storytelling of Jeff Wayne’s War of the Worlds, the synth-driven edge of Gary Numan, and the emotional depth of artists like Tori Amos and Chris de Burgh.

I previously released Time Machine – Reflecting Shattered Dreams (2014) and continue to revisit my archive of songs written across 35 years, reimagining them with today’s tools and sounds. Some pieces remain intimate and acoustic, while others expand into dark rock, industrial, or orchestral landscapes — but all are connected by a focus on emotional honesty and cinematic storytelling.

Beyond music, I’m fascinated by the intersection of creativity and technology. I’ve been experimenting with AI-driven composition and production to bring old demos to life and to spark entirely new works. For me, these tools are not replacements for human artistry but extensions of it — ways of unlocking stories and emotions that otherwise might have remained hidden.

At its heart, my work is about connection: to the past, to the future, and to the unseen mysteries of existence. Music, for me, isn’t just entertainment — it’s a chronicle of transformation, a conversation between spirit, science, and sound.

✌️Hello, I Max Kosmich - author of the electronic project • Paracosmich • dj, sound maker, musician from Ukraine (Kyiv, Zhytomyr) I love listening to electronic music since childhood. Since 2007, he began performing as a trance DJ in Ukraine at trance parties. Since 2016, I started experimenting with small synthesizers and grooveboxes as a sound hobby, which eventually led me to sound production on a computer. I do yoga and meditation, I add the Vedic philosophy of mantras to my tracks. I love working in these genres.: atmospheric breaks, experimental bass music, eclectic electronica, psychedelic electronic, experimental hip-hop, chillvibes, ambient, indian raga. I love experimenting with styles and sub-styles in search of a synthesis of interesting vibrations. Open to new interesting musical experiments...

AMOR*LEBEN*TODO
Music, Mystery, and the Multiverse of Michael Lemmer

Somewhere between a mountain echo and a memory of the future, AMOR*LEBEN*TODO hums.
It’s not just a label — it’s a living signal. A constellation of songs, poems, and visions beamed from the heart of the Rockies into every corner of the cloud.

This SoundCloud page is a crossroads — a place for wanderers and one-offs, sonic sketches and stray transmissions. Here drift fragments of the greater work: folk and funk, dream and data, dub and dawnlight. Every sound is part of a larger conversation — between art and accident, code and spirit, love and the long road home.

Founded by artist-producer Michael Lemmer, AMOR*LEBEN*TODO carries a simple mission: to keep the signal alive. The music, the words, the images — all vibrate from the same pulse. A celebration of life, love, and the strange electric hum that connects it all.

Tune in, drift wide, and listen closely.
Every track is a little transmission from the in-between.
