Electronic Music Culture

We begin 2025 reaching a very important milestone. Today we celebrate the 100th episode of the Atmospheres playlist with a special mix by Skøgen.

Skøgen is the brainchild of Italian-based experimentalist and multi-disciplinary artist Francesco Presotto aka @exhaleelectronics . One of the rising names of contemporary electronic music, that merge ritual, ambient, industrial with obscure beats, granular synthesis and weird production techniques. His works can be heard in clubs, festivals, museums and the fashion and design industry. In 2023 he scored the OST for Milan Design Week being reviewed in magazine such Elle Decor, British Vogue and AD. Skøgen is fast becoming a well-recognized name in the contemporary experimental scene.

Enjoy this special mix!

Welcome to the last episode of 2024, proudly introducing Citizen Maze!

Citizen Maze aka Adam McCoy is a Melbourne based producer and the head of the label/mix series @mirrortapes . Adam primarily focuses on the convergence of ambient music with several electronic music styles ranging from breaks, trip-hop, downtempo, and dub.

Here some words from Adam: 'This mix might be the last of my mixes under Citizen Maze as I'm slowly working towards establishing my new alias and it's sound. I have included some very interesting work from labels I have been obsessing about recently - also merging in field recordings

and some of my own melodics to help ease in transitions. Hope you enjoy!'

We inaugurate the last month of the year with an epic ambient mix by Dynastor

Dynastor is a Dutch ambient artist that pushes the boundaries of the style. His mixes are known for the immense tracklists reflecting his methods; layering many tracks overtop each other to create immersive and dynamic mixes taking the listener along through what ambient can really be. He shows why ambient music has a place on the big soundsystem with heavy hitting basses, cinematic sweeps and deep textural soundscapes. That ambient as a background genre misses the point, that rather it tells a story, sketches a world, contains a journey. This is also a reflection of him as a person, always exploring new music and diversifying his repertoire as artist. This particular mix is focused on dark cinema, containing quite a few literal soundtracks. Additionally as is customary, there are several unreleased Dynastor tracks as well.

Enjoy!

EMC is honored to invite Ada Kaleh

Ada Kaleh is a musician and composer based in Bucharest, Romania and currently releasing forward thinking aesthetics on legendary labels @r-srecords Records and its ambient division @apollo-records, widely considered as the labels responsible for bringing Techno to Europe.

He's been releasing music for over 20 years under various aliases, but his current focus is on the Ada Kaleh alias, and the more recent techno persona, Supersanity. Ignoring genre boundaries, his music combines hypnotic rhythms with rich, naturally evolving sounds often inspired by literal and metaphorical trips and mystic experiences. Questioning the linear nature of time, each composition guides the listener though whirling soundscapes, DMT realms and time loops, creating an aural safe

space in which to explore. Propelled by a passion for 60's & 70's spiritual jazz, afro-beats and other psychedelic inducing textures, Ada Kaleh describes his recent musical endeavours as Quantum Techno.

Enjoy this fantastic mix he put together for us!
