OECUS Podcast 247 // DJ RED

Dear Orphic, Float Records and HEDON,

First of all, I would like to show you my gratitude for the opportunity you’re giving upcoming, relatively unknown, artists (like me) with this contest. It shows you have the hearts in the right places. 

Secondly, the mix. The way I challenged myself is was in a three part way. As always, I tried to stay in the mix and really work behind my decks (I hope this translates well to the listener). Only then I can get a sense of fulfillment when I DJ. Moreover, where I personally challenged myself the most, was to refrain from the more hypnotic tracks I would play ‘normally’ and choose tracks that were ‘different’ but still that felt close to me as a person. Lastly, because my track selection differed from the usual, I utilized slightly dissimilar mixing techniques. Ones that give off a more old school ambience. 

That’s partly where the title “A Shift In Ambience” comes from. I tried shifting the ambience of sound, without feeling like it wasn’t me who was playing. I just transposed on my spectrum of musicality to a point where I felt it was suitable for the moment and my mood. 

Last but certainly not least, I truely was filled with enjoyment when recording this podcast and I couldn’t stop bumping my head around when playing these tracks. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did.

Much love,

onno a.k.a. ozzo

Retrospect 157 | KETSAB (@sebastian-popieniuk)

·

This set is a journey where the boundaries between day and night blur, creating a hypnotic kaleidoscope of sounds. Bright, spacious melodies symbolize the first glow of morning, awakening a gentle energy and the freshness of the day. As the track unfolds, the rhythms become more pulsating and deep, capturing the dynamics of the day’s fullness until they finally submerge into the dark, intimate tones of the night.

In the background, subtle sounds of nature can be heard—the dawn chorus of birds gradually transitioning into more mysterious and hypnotic tones. This piece balances on the edge of light and shadow, building an atmosphere filled with tension, tranquility, and emotion. It is a story of the cycle of life, where day and night coexist in perfect harmony.

Amplify Series 113 - Elyas

A hypnotic exploration of control, chaos, and the beauty between.
Because not all rules deserve obedience.
An ongoing dream shaped by rhythm and rupture.
This is where rules dissolve and instincts take over.

In Kyoto, summer drifts in on the sound of Gion Bayashi.
I’ve woven in echoes from an old news broadcast.
The air is heavy already, and it seems another sultry season awaits.
