Frau Levi - 百会 BAIHUI MIX

Guest mix to "BAIHUI Live", China-launched independent radio station to feature talents in China and across the globe. The program is hosted by Berlin-based rising talent @templerat .

I created a mix that embodies the vibrant summer atmosphere. The theme of the mix is titled as "Californian Psychedelia." Drawing inspiration from my memories of California during my teenage years, I adorn the mix with numerous sparkling sounds, with the heartfelt prayer that listeners would feel utmost happiness. While primarily exploring house and disco dub, I add a psychedelic and trippy ambiance by incorporating elements of rock into the sound.

The ‘psychedelia’ experienced in California, which served as the theme for this mix, was reminiscent of everyday life. From the majestic wineries bathed in the radiant sun under the blue sky to the scent of the ocean reaching from the pristine coastline, and the drives along the highways that connect vast lands. Extending your hand from a running convertible, the soft yet slightly dry air caresses your skin, and with each encounter with such a breeze, it feels like returning to one's true self, one by one. Enveloped in the gently flowing time, there is the presence of the person beside you in those moments—experiencing the sun and the earth together with loved ones, friends, and family, and feeling the undeniable presence of love when gazing into each other's eyes. This was the interpretation of psychedelia in this mix.

With this mix, you may dance with friends on a terrace, take a walk in town/nature or feel the sunlight under the blue sky… I hope each one of you can feel the beauty of this present moment, the beauty of being alive. With the intention of adding a touch of sparkle to this summer and wishing everyone a wonderful time, I send my love and prayers. ✨🕊

百会 BAIHUI: 你吃了梅 Ni Chi Le Mei w/ Devon

This time I share with you a calm winter journey routed in the slower BPM range of 103. I recorded it for the lovely Mix series hosted by my friend @templerat on the chinese radio station 百会 BAIHUI.

I felt it was the right moment to dive into the more relaxed side of my musical explorations. After all the fast groovy dance sessions at all sorts of places this year, it's great to dive into the profound deep side of things to get some new inspirations 🪸
Never forget that each tempo has it's own shiny moments, it's great to explore all of them 💓

Have fun listening, I hope you enjoy.

xx

百会 BAIHUI: 你吃了梅 Ni Chi Le Mei w/ Polygonia

Berlin via Ireland, David has gained a cult following among well educated music fans via his label Transmigration. Following taste over hype along with careful art direction he’s been responsible for unearthing and reissuing some of the best psychedelic electronic
music from years gone by. 

More recently he’s expanded operations to include two new labels - Sacred Stones, an outlet for his own DJ edits; hand stamped and vinyl only as well Crystal Ceremony, a label dedicated to showcasing new talents from around the world. In addition to this he co-runs Sound Migration, a collaboration with Berlin institution Sound Metaphors.

Informed by his love for digging older music as well as his position as buyer for Sound Metaphors, his DJ sets are nostalgic, transcendental and futuristic. Effortlessly combining the best in new and old electronic music. This has seen him play across Berlin’s club
landscape, from the smallest basement clubs right up to the main floor of Berghain.

MIX050 - David Fogarty (柏林)

Luzerna’s close friend, Sabrina experienced life abroad in Paris, Toronto and Berlin, where she roamed the dancefloors for looong parties. 🌙

Always keeping Marseille as a her landmark, she has been back in town for a few years and practices in the field of hypnosis and sophrology 💆🧘

At the end of 2023 she rekindles the flame of her old collective @synesthesiemusicart with her 2 funny partners Axcel and Fabo 💎

Today, as a seed being asleep under the ground all winter, Sabrina is opening up like a flower, slowly blooming and takes us into therapy to start spring with an ambient and soothing podcast. 🌌🌸
Authentic sound recordings of nature, from folk and world music to meditative frequencies, she makes us gravitate around her floating and offbeat universe. 🌿🌾

EMC welcomes Joan Gila!

Joan Gila, a vinyl enthusiast, is the curator of @hoc-radio and also manages a small cassette label focused on ambient, avant-garde, and experimental music called @red-edge-label. He is part of the duo @binomi with his friend @slim-jordi.
This DJ set was recorded in Madrid at the Temple event, curated by @machines-desirantes and @javier-camunas, which takes place at @espacio-perpendicular, an intimate venue with exquisite sound. This particular set is Temple 03 featuring @hardcore-chillout, and it's an exercise in mixing and merging an older record from around the 80s with a new one, playing with them in such a way that the listener doesn’t know where they are. 

Enjoy!

百会 BAIHUI: 你吃了梅 Ni Chi Le Mei w/ David Fogarty

Next up in our mix series is David Fogarty, the mind behind one of our favorite record labels; Transmigration. Born in Ireland, based in Berlin, David follows taste over hype along with careful art direction he’s been responsible for unearthing and reissuing some of the best psychedelic electronic music from the past three decades. David’s reach extends beyond Transmigration with Sacred Stones; a vinyl-only label for his own hand-stamped DJ edits, Crystal Ceremony; a platform dedicated to spotlighting emerging global talent, and Sound Migration; a joint venture with the iconic Sound Metaphors.

In this mix, David showcases his ability to blend nostalgia with futurism - mixing old-school pscyehdelia with contemporary functionalism - crafting a journey that’s as trippy as it is cohesive, filled with dynamic shifts in momentum, tension, and release.

Ute Mix Series #95 | David Fogarty

@transmigration_records

David runs the Transmigration label, as well as being on manager duties
 for Sound Metaphors Recordstore. A true gentleman of the scene, a rare breed, and surgical deejay. It was a pleasure having him on at our February party, where this mix was recorded.

OTGCAST016 - David Fogarty

@transmigration_records is a Berlin-based record label and archive dedicated to reissuing temporarily lost or forgotten psychedelic electronic music.

Founded in 2022 by Irish DJ David Fogarty, the label has since gathered momentum and recognition for breathing new life into niche catalogues – often forgotten ambient and trance records from the ’90s – through careful restoration and presentation to new audiences.

Like many of the best record labels, Transmigration’s output is reflective of what you might hear in one of David’s DJ sets. Drawing from a wide-ranging record collection, he occupies a unique space that blends the deeper ends of house, techno, and trance, in a way that appeals to both large audiences and hardcore music nerds alike.

We caught up with David to talk shop on the story behind Transmigrations, and what it’s like running an independent label in 2025.
