Live sketches for a Son Of Chi live set in Athens, November 16, 17th 2024.
https://www.instagram.com/p/DBTh9jxNTNy  

A mix of edited Son Of Chi tracks and new works in progress, including upcoming collabs with Kain The Poet, Jim Tetlow, Radboud Mens, Daniel Danieli, Clara Brea & Menhir, Omar Ka, Kaiyumi and more.

Son Of Chi: I always make live sketches. This time for my performance in Athens (scroll down for more info). Not sure if I will stick to them, but they give the right impression of the atmosphere i would like to create. The opening words by Kain The Poet reflect the times we live in and the challenges we are facing. I will end with a piece from “The Fifth World Recordings”.  

According to the Hopi prophecies we are now living in the transition years, moving from the fourth world into the fifth world. As they say: “times of earthquakes, floodings, fires, pandemics and wars”. The Hopi believe that in this period you need to be careful where you stay, who you stay with and what you do. Keep practising the holy rituals. Respect nature, the earth, the universe and be good to your fellowmen and all living creatures.

As the Hopi say the fifth world  “represents a spiritual awakening, an evolution in understanding the interconnectedness of all beings and the universe”. We are in the middle of this transition. All we can do is stick to our rituals.

Or as Hazrat Inayat Khan says: “The further we advance, the more difficult and the more important becomes our part in the symphony of life. The more conscious we are of this responsibility, the more efficient we become in accomplishing our task”.

Sketches For Athens

The leftfield-loving Lithuanian started collecting music as a kid. Soon after moving to Vilnius, when Electroclash anthems ruled the Earth, Marijus decided to embark on a DJ's journey.

Now, some years later, you know him as one half of 12 INČŲ PO ŽEME, the DJ duo he steers with Simas Slabačiauskas. The two operated the Smala nights in collaboration with another Vilnius nightlife staple, Manfredas.

These days, Marijus started sharing his uncanny favorites with audiences across the globe through the Per Amzius Ambient show on Radio Vilnius. From folk and jazz leftovers from the long-forgotten times, via the gloomy picks from the end of the century to contemporary sedated beats.

314⚡️Marijus Klimaitis

"An invisible voice imparts its wisdom to me,  
Silently, I follow where it leads.  
The unseen voice teaches me creation,  
From nothingness, sun rays appear.  

I stand before a golden wall,  
Words are written in an ancient tongue.  
Soon, I will discover the old alphabet,  
Unravel its message, and understand its song."

- Saphileaum

'A Good Moment' pure and clear,
A melody that draws us near.
A pause, a spark, a fleeting ray,
Where inspiration leads the way’

Fitting words to accompany Rene Lorenzo’s forthcoming album on Kizen Records, titled ‘A Good Moment’. From start to finish, the Spaniard occupies a space that is hard to define. One that demands attention yet, gives space. Intricate, yet soothing and comforting on the ear. A wonderful combination that catches you in its embrace, ever so subtly.

Delirium Tremens, coming in as track 8 on the 10 track album evokes feelings of security, the exhale to a long inhale. The muted kicks, and melody provide a base from which to build. Nothing is overt, no element tries to stray from that base. Each and every voice meant to compliment, and coexist.

Rene Lorenzo’s album, ‘A Good Moment’ will be released out into the world on February 28th.

𝐏𝐑𝐄𝐌𝐈𝐄𝐑𝐄 | Avsluta - Soma [Accents Records ( ^^^ )]

Inspired by downshifting cyberpunk originating from Chornobyl, the album Anomaly from Kyiv native Lostlojic is a true artifact in electronic music: firstly, it is a unique combination of trance synthesizers with deep smoky dubstep, interspersed with the sounds of nature from the Carpathian Mountains, and echoes of the cultural heritage of folk songs. Spatial sounds penetrate the secret places of your brain in a completely natural way, like cordyceps, creating unexpected neural connections. Secondly - it's a unique creative collaboration between a photographer Julia Coda, a tattoo artist Anton Kresan - master of dark tribal genre, musicians Lostlojic with Tadan on the remix - who’s tactile sounds will reward the receptors of the attentive listener with a dose of dopamine, technologies of the fleeting past and nature. We invite you on a journey through textures!

PREMIERE : Lostlojic - Pyrrhula (Tadan Remix)

Dark and dubby sounds from Toki Fuko & DP-6. Angst is coming.

Marco Shuttle - Ritmo Elegante 
Spazio Disponibile (Spazio019) 12"
release date: 20 Jan 2020

marcoshuttle.bandcamp.com/album/ritmo-elegante

Marco Shuttle is very much part of the Spazio Disponibile label family: he's put out his Systhema album and various EPs with Donato Dozzy and Neel in the last couple of years, and now the Eerie boss serves up more of his immersive techno excellence.

He starts off in slow motion, with the roomy ambiance and slightly spooky dub of 'Ritmo Elegante.' Of course it's a track carefully filled with little sonic details that make it a very real place to be. 'Arpex' then switches things up with a super urgent, super supple acidic techno rhythm thats overlaid with a widescreen arp that sapiens space and time, and 'Stairway To The Milky Way' is a half time stepper though some trippy sci-fi jungle before 'Qatarsi' rides on a floating groove as sound effects pan all around you and traps you in a state of trance. These are expressive, hard to define and excellent electronics once again from Marco Shuttle.
