Another gem from the Plex audio vaults. This was the 2nd time we had 
Peter Kuschnereit AKA DJ Pete play and on this occasion he brought along René Löwe for the ride to perform Scion (Scion Versions) live for 45 minutes. Creme de la creme dub techno and in fairness I could've heard them play this the entire night as it was so good.

This was another set from the 3rd birthday party in 2009. Seems like such a long time ago now.

Shogawin (Erika & Resom) ｜2025年7月24日｜#dub-techno #ambient

Today's guest mix arrives as the perfect soundtrack to these scorching summer days that seem to stretch on endlessly, capturing the vibrant energy and laid-back vibe of the season. We welcome Vakula, a leading figure in the Ukrainian electronic music scene.

The journey began in 1998, behind the decks of a local radio station, where Vakula played drum & bass and trip-hop sets for a handful of night listeners. By 2004, he was already diving into the deep waters of dub techno, drawn not by fashion, but by a persistent inner frequency.
Soon after, Vakula moved to the capital — a city now at war — where he spent eleven formative years. The original plan was simple: earn enough money to reach a Buddhist monastery in Tibet. But life, borders, and timing had other ideas. Instead, he stayed and followed sound.
Over the years, Vakula became part of the underground scene, eventually becoming a resident at iconic clubs such as Propaganda and Zeppelin, while also playing in many of the legendary venues of that era. By 2008, music had turned into a passport, taking him across continents to places where electronic sound truly thrived.
Genre was never a boundary. Jazz, rock, hip-hop, ambient, house, techno, drum & bass — everything served the same purpose: to explore, to feel, to connect. In 2011, he returned to his small hometown and built an analog studio, carving out space to listen more deeply.
Over time, the surface of the global scene began to feel thinner, less sacred. In 2020, he stepped back from performance and immersed himself in a three-year exploration of shamanic practices — not for spectacle, but for personal insight. This inner work changed his relationship with sound, and opened up new levels of depth, stillness, and presence in his music.
By 2025, Vakula let go of the path of the spirits, realizing that some stories are not his to walk. Vakula returned, not to where he started, but to a clearer understanding of his role: to keep listening, to keep creating, and to stay honest in sound.
Through it all, Vakula remains one of the early pioneers and enduring voices in the Ukrainian electronic scene — not the mainstream one, but a world of his own: where forest replaces the city center, where meadows stand in for mindless entertainment, and where trees are steadier than fleeting friendships. His connection to Ukraine has never been about slogans. It’s a quiet, unwavering love — for the land, for the people who still feel, and for his hometown of Konotop, which lives in every frequency he shapes.

Tracklist:
1. Vakula - Thaw of the Silent Peak
2. Jonn Serrie - The Observation Deck
3. Ariel Kalma - Flute Meditation

Nothing 2 Loose by DJ Healer is more than an album — it’s a spiritual message whispered through fog and noise. A record that heals by repetition, by faith, by the space between all possible words. A rare, golden transmission from Traumprinz’s unique imagination, still resonating years later.

DJ Healer (A.K.A. Traumprinz) — Nothing 2 Loose (Mixed)

For this edition of the Futurepast podcast, we welcome Synthbiont & Anassimandrus, the ambient / experimental / dub techno project of Nicolò Faggiani and Tommaso Gobbo. Formed in late 2018, the duo merges digital and analogue processes, processed field recordings, and sampling to sculpt immersive soundscapes rooted in texture, movement, and atmosphere.

“Experimentation is always at the core of our process. We start with organic sounds and environmental textures, mostly field recordings we collect ourselves in different places and moments.”

The mix unfolds as an exploration of identity and intuition, a dialogue between tribal rhythm, granular synthesis, and spatial depth. Their sound has been shaped by both familiar and unexpected influences: Spekki Webbu, Sarah Wreath, o.utlier, Astral Industries, Adrian Newgent, and the collective energy of Modem Festival.

Opening with one of their unreleased tracks, the set carries the raw momentum of their upcoming album work, a hypnotic drift through sound and transformation, where each layer resonates with motion, memory, and change.

Unrush presents: Chie Otomi / Danieli[i] & Lukas Freisem
Cassette split

From opposite corners of quiet geographies — Osaka and Aachen — comes a meeting of slow motion and open air.

Side A drifts with Chie Otomi, whose remarkable command of the synthesizer brings subtle depth and shimmer to every phrase. She shapes weightless tones and soft-field frequencies, tracing small constellations of stillness. Each layer moves like light through fog — present, but never insisting.

Side B unfolds with Danieli[i] & Lukas Freisem, marking their first collaboration. Their music hints at rhythm but remains firmly rooted in the abstract, moving rather in soft pulses and suspended motion. Together they sculpt a shared horizon from blurred chords and gentle resonance. The pieces breathe in long pauses, allowing space to feel almost tactile — a gentle expansion rather than a direction.

Together, these two sides form a dialogue of patience: moments that unfold at their own pace, inviting the listener to lean into slowness, to let time unspool.
