From the clouds of darkness bursts of colours start to appear: purple, orange and some pink. These rays of light tickle your eyes and open a new view, a new Horizon. It is only then that you start to hear the beat, those pounding sounds that make your heart race. Now you know, it is time to follow the beat. 

Guiding your way to the Horizon are Protonica, aka Piet Kaempfer and Ralf Dietze from Berlin, Germany. After two successful albums – Search (2007) and Form Follows Function (2012), Protonica have been placed high in the psychedelic galaxy. In this journey they take you once more to an unknown Horizon, although the destination is unknown, pleasure is guaranteed. 

The dark mist has faded away with the waves of multiple colours that were sent from the Horizon. It is bright and shiny just like Greece and brings with it the same sense of mythology and magical surrounding that are known to be associated with Atmos, aka Tomasz Balicki.

Silent Horizon

British-Persian DJ and producer @nickon_faith returns to Manual Smiles with his new Synthesis EP — a deep dive into genre-blurring psychedelia and detailed sound design. Building on the world he set out with 2024’s Digital Moss, the EP moves through tense arpeggios, biting acid lines, shadowy low-end pressure, and misty, dream-state atmospheres.

Rocket [Manual Smiles]

There are times in life when we’re just running on autopilot.
The days keep moving, we get things done,
but inside we feel tired and far away from ourselves.

Our battery is almost empty,
but the world around us stays loud and demanding.
We long for a break, a moment to breathe,
for that feeling of actually living instead of just getting through the day.

“Ghosts in the Machine” is about exactly that phase:
when we turn our feelings down,
just so we can handle everyday life,
and slowly start to feel more like a part of a machine
than like a human being with dreams and depth.

And still, there is something left inside us.
A small, quiet spark that reaches out for light.
A feeling deep down that there must be more than just functioning.
That belief that we can find our way back to ourselves
is what keeps our hope alive.

From there, my own interpretation of Xenoben’s “In Delirium” picks up –
a piece that stayed with me
when I was in that same state of pure functioning.

With both tracks, I want to remind you of this:
Your own light is still there, even when it feels quiet.
No light in this world is more important
than your true self –
and that self is worth more than just existing.
It deserves to be truly lived.

1. Ace Ventura, Antinomy - We Dream (Original mix)
We dream. It's who we are. Down to our bones, our cells. That instinct to build. That drive to seek beyond what we know. It's in our DNA. We crossed the oceans, we conquered the skies. Beyond what we know. We dream.
