Wax’o Paradiso Recordings continues its dive into the extraordinary canon of contemporary Antipodean psychedelia with its second outing on vinyl, four spacious and soaring balearic cuts from local duo Donald’s House. 

From the glistening textures of 37° South (featuring renowned Australian percussionist Phil Stroud), to meandering meditative freakouts Aurora Australis and Under the Lilypad, to the italo new beat muscularity of ‘Budge-E Beat’, Donald’s House are showcasing a constantly evolving versatility and a truly unique take on the acid trip sunrise at the metaphorical Café del Murray.

A2 Aurora Australis

For our next podcast, we have the London local heroes and good friends from Outransa, Kensa, and Nicky Macha.

Is a 3h 30min live DJ set that was recorded at Star Lane during the last Ogenblik Anniversary.

This isn’t polished. It’s raw, real and human (alien).
Not a studio take - a celebration in motion.
Flaws intact, edges left on & the sound of presence over perfection.

Cartulis is really happy to present the next episode of our Live Series podcast.

For number 009, we bring you a very special recording, a 5-hour journey captured live during our 15th Anniversary at Fold. That night, Room 2 was fully taken over by Outransa, the collaborative project of Kensa and Nicky Macha.

The duo delivered an all-night-long set that perfectly captured their identity and the energy of the night. They’ve been shaping their sound and vision over the years, and this recording is a beautiful reflection of that.

So sit back, press play, and relive the vibe of that unforgettable night in Room 2 of Fold, with Outransa.

Tangible Dreams (Lawrence Remix)

Oxymoron is a journey into vintage electronic dreams, recalling the golden age sound of experimental synth pioneers. Each track unfolds slowly, rich with breathing arpeggios, pulsing analog rhythms and beautiful, immersive textures. Classic hardware takes center stage - ARP 2600, EMS Synthi AKS, Korg Minipops 7, ARP Sequencer and RMI Harmonic Synthesizer - creating living soundscapes you can dive into. 15 epic pieces that blend 70s/80s nostalgia with vibrant analog life.

Luminous Paradox

Schwingspiel

A melancholic electronic track built around a pulsing synth bass, atmospheric pads conjuring wide open roads, and soft, driving beats, Subtle electric piano layers evoke a sense of movement, while sparse guitar lines echo like memories of distant houses

'Over the past 10 years, Simon TK and Edd Fisher have built, curated and cultivated the now-institution that is Wax’o Paradiso. Wax’o Paradiso’s holistic approach to music sees the esteemed outfit working as hard behind the scenes as they do behind the decks. Harnessing a harmonious balance between stalwart DJ duo, ever-reliable events series and recently founded record label, Wax’o Paradiso’s offerings have cajoled a passionate and dedicated community predicated on a commitment to creating playful and positive dancefloor experiences. 

Wax’o Paradiso’s once theatrically themed events remain charismatic - roving, leftfield locations, expert production and longform DJ sets from Wax’o Paradiso and like minded guests create place and space to elate. As DJs, the duo presents a sonic frontier with unparalleled synergy. Each rapturous journey, a cosmic concertina of rare groove and psychedelia that illuminates the vast reservoir that is Wax’o Paradiso’s ineffable musical knowledge and technical skill. The resultant long-lasting, high-impact performances almost always unfurl in moments that push exultant crowds to soar together in shared states of dancefloor freedom and energetic ecstasy. It’s with this mantle that the duo have a consistent and far reaching presence, amassing frequent club and festival appearances both near and far. 

Together, the pair also co-run the newly established Wax’o Paradiso Recordings, a label devoted to unearthing contemporary antipodean sounds spanning the soothing and the psychedelic, as well as a collection of spirited mixtapes - an expanding back catalogue that’s sure to keep your heart warm and your body moving.'
