Having already released some tracks to widespread acclaim, Anyma’s music will be augmented to new levels thanks to the creative technologies including real-time rendering of graphics and characters, with the boundaries between music, lights and visuals – as well as reality and virtual – blurred in a never-seen-before immersive experience. Expect special guest appearances too – as well as previews of Anyma’s forthcoming debut album.

The performance combines harmonising analog machinery, improvisation, modulations and digital sequences, following the models of composer and multi-instrumentalist Vangelis. The cinematic aspect of MRAK’s performance results in the immersion of the audience in a total acoustic experience.

Then, after the two founding members of the duo have performed their own unique shows – Tale Of Us will reunite to play an exclusive Afterlife legacy set to see out the evening.

Ukrainian artist The Organism drops title track and announces his superb new album “Dictator” on his own label Organic Tunes. The seven track collection shows off his rich array of house styles in fine fashion.

The Organism has roots in the scene that go back 20+ years. By now he is an international name with credits on influential labels like Disco Halal & Diynamic, has had high profile support from the likes of Solomun, Dixon and DJ Tennis, and has had several tracks in the high end of the melodic charts on Beatport. This new album is a showcase of his hypnotic bass vibrations, exciting vocals and mystic ethnic sounds.

Dictator opens with silky drum loops and percussive tinkles that sink you into a clean groove next to bird calls, jungle humidity and playful bass.

Ego has twanging synths and more organic sound effects next to another rolling and catchy rhythm. Polo heads into the heart of the late night dance floor with tech house drums and cosmic synth work before Hora then ups the ante once more with flashes of synth and techno energy over deeply buried drums. The atmosphere is detailed with ambient pads and rising tension.

Gopak is another infectious cut with well sequenced synth arps, succulent drums and an ecosystem of sci-fi effects that place you deep in the cosmos. There is turbulence to Speeech that will add drama to the dance floor, and finally comes Dictator (Bonus Version) which is a wonky and off beat tech house pumper.

The Organism‘s Dictator is a left of centre house album with a unique electronic soul.

Labryinto lineup

Each year the festival has a new theme and this year’s is A.I. and funghis. Creative Director Melissa O explains the concept:

“Over the last decades, humans have been creating species of superior beings called artificial intelligence. Now we imagine that in 20 -30 years with the help of mushrooms and other sacred plants, these AIs will acquire a higher consciousness and understanding of life which will allow them to live in harmony with nature, protecting life on this planet better than what we have ever been able to. That is what we are trying to showcase here. Labyrinto is a window into the gestation of this new A.I. world.”

Musically, Labryinto is a forward thinking line-up with globally renowned melodic techno pair Tale of Us bringing their always evocative sound. The esteemed German crew Keinemusik also line up with their enchanting house sounds, and All Day I Dream label and party head Lee Burridge is the perfect man to summons some motherly and shamanistic house in the jungle, as is the notorious musical wizard and Crosstown boss Damian Lazarus.

Add in the widescreen electronic output of Life And Death‘s DJ Tennis, Turkish DJ, multi instrumentalist and producer Carlita and Trikk and you have a surefire winner.
