Five wonderful years have passed for Velvet Vortex and keeping in mind all the people we have crossed paths with, all the lessons we have learned and all the inspiration we have gained – it is time to open a new exciting chapter. Further information will be discovered slowly, but at this moment we are ready to present the Velvet Vortex podcast series. Another branch of VV activity responsible for spreading our passion for deep, ambitious and quality sound in modern electronic music.

We are opening the series with a recording prepared by none other than our long time friend – a skillful and well-respected dj & producer – Luigi Tozzi. His carefully curated selection deftly brings the spirit of Spring, flowing gently like a breeze. Deep, unhurried narrative lets the listener perceive more details in those layered, ethereal sounds. Luigi’s attention to detail and harmony, which he brought to Velvet Vortex events several times already, comes to light once again.

"This set is my love letter to experimental ambient music. 
It has two sides. 

One side is memories of myself from 15 years ago—my early productions and the tunes I loved listening to. 

The other side represents who I am today—my new
production and fresh discoveries. 
These sides are mixed together into my personal narrative, 
representing where I am and what [who] I love."

"I really enjoy the process of creating this kind of mix. 

It can be quite long, but it is worth every minute spent on finding the right moment, the right proportions, time, frequency. Each piece of music is like a special ingredient in a secret potion that, when mixed, brewed and consumed, will transport you deep into the amazing worlds of the immensely talented people who create them. 

Relax and listen to this slow roller-coaster, full of sounds like of thick liquid being poured, cave echoes,  emotional chants and vibes of hope."

Velvet Podcast _ 004 - Joachim Spieth

A slow drift into the shadows at Tresor, Berlin.
The fourth chapter in the VVVT_MIX series emerges from the hands of Velvet Vortex founder Alicja Aksamit, who gently opened the night on July 5th, 2025.

Her set, woven from ambient currents, distant dub echoes and deep, resonant techno - invited quiet introspection. A delicate unraveling, suspended between stillness and motion. A moment out of time.

Let yourself sink into it.

The fifth chapter in the VVVT_MIX series is guided by Michał Macewicz.

A slow, meditative dub with fluid rhythms and a narrative that breathes. It drifts gently between light and shadow, settling into a quiet, reflective stillness — like warmth remembered on a cold night.

Tune in and dissolve.
Somewhere beyond time, where dub becomes breath.
