For this episode of our Codecast X sessions, we're introducing a great curator and selector, Aurelius Scott.

As a record enthusiast, Aurelius has always ventured for the B side. Looking for ambient deeper cuts where music translates into journeys. 
He has also appeared on podcast series such as  like IO Records, Parallel Perception, Tech Support Music and several appearances on UWS. 
In 2020 He released the podcast series “Anodynic Frequencies” where he asks fellow artists that share the same desire of Ambient and deeper side of the Techno genre. Where he hosted names such as Polygonia, Adhemar, Zemog and more.

From soothing & warm atmospheres to carefully selected deeper grooves, this selection is the perfect pick for a sunny morning in the woods.

CODECAST X - Aurelius Scott - Refractive Surfaces

Soundwaves can act as a portal, enabling you to resonate with the conscious experience of others. The DJ then bridges the gaps, connecting these pathways to help us realize our inherent interconnectedness. Our next guest, Lychee, is very mindful of this sonic potential as they build experiences through sound. Hailing from the east coast of the US, they have established themselves locally and internationally through their excellently crafted sets and tastefully curated project Spontaneous Affinity, a monthly mix and interview series, annual zine, and occasional event platform. Lychee's sound is ever-evolving, exploratory, and effervescent. Their Unrush contribution takes us through a myriad of moods and styles while still keeping a singular unified voice throughout. A perfect accompaniment to the first signs of fall as we reflect on the past few months of pause with a warm nostalgia.

Thanks a lot https://soundcloud.com/lycheefrut & https://soundcloud.com/spontaneousaffinity

058 - Unrushed by Lychee

And just like that.. Another festival season is gone. As a closing-greeting & to celebrate Prior Act’s Nr 50, we’re happy to bring an exclusive set recording:

Alex Tomb isn't just an over-20years-practicing Dj/(Later on, producer, on Several Reasons & Capparis Spinosa - his own label - amongst others) and a techno figure in his homeland (Cyprus): he's been keeping on pushing to generate quality and  enthusiasm around techno music since his returning. As such he naturally took part to the quite recent Emotions festival, located in the "Angel’s Hills Resort" in Nicosia; a gathering of both local & International ambitions, that has reunited names such as Dasha Rush, Amandra, F-On.. as well as emerging artists.

Thankful & super pleased to get this opportunity focusing/shedding light on his work (the excerpt isn't to find anywhere else and was recorded last June). Alex not only shows us there's other horizons beyond Berlin and his various  [past] residencies @[Griessmüehle/KLUBD/] STAUB (<-- still active), but his unextinguished passion for the craft. This >>Techno<< set excerpt ranges from minimal influences, techno with powerful beats, to more subtle, soulful, psy playfulness - as well as melodic bits, where spontaneity and honoring detroit/housey vibes has its spot. More resonates as an invitation to let go & dancing in the joy of present moment, leaving spaces here and there to rest and look upwards. A simple, yet powerful Techno's spirit celebration, free of tags, small-boxing, and as much a reflection of his long years of (crowd management/)practice. All of which under the stars, close to the mountains and a breezy sea. ..

Thank you so much Alex for this exclusive, powerful session & Gift  ❤️🖤

▶ Official Bio
"Alex Tomb was born in Nicosia in the 80s. Mainly a DJ for 20 years and music creator slightly after, with residencies at legendary klubd, Nicosia for over a decade, and at STAUB, Berlin. He had releases on various European labels such as STAUB, Several Reasons, as well as his own label Capparis Spinosa.
An experienced mixer with precise attention to detail, a very delicate touch and effervescent resonance. Alex directs the listener through deep explorative trips that play with the psyche. A musical dialogue filled with colours, changes of perspective and almost life-changing dispositions."

Kannabi_Katharsis_Stories_015 | closing set at Katharsis | Sep 2022

For our ninth instalment we’ve invited Nikos, a talented DJ, producer and event organizer from the Netherlands.

He is known for incorporating lots of organic percussions, crazy textures, and trippy synths in his live and DJ-sets. Playing at clubs like Radio Radio, POING, and performing for organizations like Traumgarten and Conflux. 

Some words by Nikos about his mix:
I wanted to incorporate different sounds that will remind the listener of nature. If you listen closely you’ll hear sounds that are familiar to wood, water drops and subtle animal noises. This mix consists only music created by myself, which I’ll usually use during my livesets and sometimes in my DJ-sets. 

The mix starts subtle with soft bells to calm the mind, moves to atmospheric tracks and then propels into more trippy techno before ending again with melancholic chords and a repetitive but soft rhythms. 

Please enjoy the latest contribution to our series, and don’t forget to come by and check Nikos out during our first event on the 4th of November.

My next guest on Yax Invites is Shelley, a DJ from Bielefeld, Germany.

Shelley turned her passion for electronic music into a profession in 2019. Electronic sounds have accompanied her since childhood, and she found inspiration in the local club scene. Through long nights and countless sonic journeys, she discovered the fascination of DJing and decided to use her listening experience to create her own sets.

Driven by hypnotic and impulsive rhythms, combined with dark and dissociative atmospheres she developed through the years her own style. Today, with precise attention to detail and a very delicate touch.

It didn't take long for her style to be recognized, and she was able to create impressive sets. Also Eric Cloutier invited her to play her first gig at Tresor in Berlin where she could prove her skills in front of a decent crowd. Shelley is sure to continue creating influential sets and mesmerizing audiences.

@pillen presents Henko.

Henko: 変 更

Deep and transformative change from which there is no return to the initial state. It is that turning point that raises us above fear and worries, adopting a new attitude to life.

The word henkō is composed of the kanjis 変 Hen, meaning "change" and 光 kō, meaning "variable or with an unusual light".
