Melamanos [Journey Series]

Welcome back to the Magician On Duty Journey Series! Magician On Duty Journey Series opens a new chapter in 2026 with Melamanos (@melamanos), a selector from Minsk, Belarus, whose relationship with music is less about genre and more about devotion. This is sound chosen with intention — soulful, patient, and unafraid to linger in the in-between. A true believer in the art of the slow dance, Melamanos moves through a wide emotional spectrum: from multicultural electronica and organic rhythms to romantic, introspective shades of tech. Since 2018, his path has been guided by downtempo and midtempo currents, tribal echoes, folktronic details, and the hypnotic pull of chillrave — music designed not to rush, but to breathe. His vision has shaped countless slow-rave gatherings in Minsk and carried him across distant dancefloors in Istanbul, Tbilisi, Milan, Moscow, Ericeira, and Ponta Delgada. When physical borders fade, his sound continues to travel — through podcasts and mixtapes shared with downtempo communities around the world. Now, that journey lands in Miami, woven into the fabric of Magician On Duty. This Journey Series mix is an exercise in balance and honesty. A gentle tension between slow and fast, light and shadow, beauty and imperfection. Melodies dissolve into minimalism, the old converses with the new, and movement emerges naturally from stillness. It is introspective without losing its pulse — a mix that invites both contemplation and dance. Featuring music from Dandara & Arutani, Niklas Paschburg, Bedouin, Geju, Ninze, Roze, MC and me, and more, the selection unfolds like a quiet ritual — subtle, deep, and deeply human. This is music for late hours and open minds. A slow flame, carefully tended. An invitation to listen, feel, and move — honestly. Enjoy the journey.

Welcome back to the Magician On Duty Journey Series! On this edition we welcome LUXUS (@luxnewman) Magician On Duty proudly unveils a new chapter in its acclaimed Journey Series, this time guided by the enigmatic sound explorer known as LUXUS — an artist whose world blends shadow, structure, and shimmering inner light. LUXUS approaches music the way a sculptor approaches form: with precision, intention, and an ever-evolving identity. His artistic vision is shaped by duality — a faceted exterior of discipline and design, and a glowing creative core that’s beginning to radiate outward with renewed strength. In his hands, sound becomes a mirror of transformation: fragmented yet refined, restrained yet bursting with potential, always hinting at a deeper essence beneath the surface. This episode reflects that vision with remarkable clarity. Moving through noir-infused electronica, hypnotic slow-burn grooves, and propulsive late-night energy, LUXUS curates a journey that feels like watching a new self assemble in real time. The mix opens in an atmospheric haze with Pye Corner Audio's “Ganzfeld Effect,” a dimensional shimmer that sets the tone for perception to shift. From there, illusion and identity weave together through pieces like Markus Gibb & San Carol’s “Illusion” and Marco Darko’s “One Night Stand,” each track adding another facet to the mask — sharp, reflective, and meticulously crafted. As the journey deepens, the golden light at Luxus’ center begins to break through. Pavel Petrov’s “Faith,” Lefty D’s “Strange Days,” and Everyone But None’s “3 AM” move with the pulse of inner awakening — subtle, glowing, and alive. Floral motifs of growth and renewal appear in selections like Andino’s “Swirlz” and Moe Turk’s “Deep Is Dope (Deep Lo Remix),” echoing the sense of something blooming just beneath the surface. Midway, the mix steps into its transformative phase. Tracks such as Terranova & Alican’s “Cosmocode,” Jonathan Kaspar’s “Muster,” and Audio Junkies’ “Aspects of Rhythm” reveal a more assertive stride — a consolidation of ideas, a tightening of vision, a coalescing identity. The energy becomes bolder, more magnetic, yet still wrapped in the elegance of a luxurious exterior. The episode concludes with a powerful ascent. Edgier cuts like Sexual Purity’s “Convulsion” and Ghost Cop’s “A Shot in the Dark (Houses of Heaven Remix)” break apart the last remnants of confinement, making space for the final act: a moment of cinematic release with 2WEI & Ali Christenhusz’s “Ave Maria,” a closing that feels both sacred and cathartic — the unveiling of the inner light at last. Through this carefully woven narrative, Luxus presents more than a DJ mix. He offers a portrait of metamorphosis — a soundscape where structure meets spirit, elegance meets emotion, and identity reveals itself piece by piece. This Journey Series episode marks a moment of breakthrough for an artist stepping into a new era of self-expression, aesthetic clarity, and conceptual strength. Step inside the mask. Follow the golden glow. Experience LUXUS. Follow LUXUS here: https://soundcloud.com/luxnewman https://www.instagram.com/_________luxus_________

Pre-Order or Pre-Save: https://go.protonradio.com/r/rlqpGgZvYEYd0 Magician On Duty proudly presents Losers Arcade, the mesmerizing new EP from NUVEM (@nuvemduo), a live electronic duo whose evocative blend of darkness and beauty has been quietly reshaping the contours of the underground scene. Formed in 2022 by Maya Gonçalves (FR/PT) and Dario Esposito (IT), NUVEM has been traversing Europe’s creative hubs—France, Italy, and Germany—collecting fragments of emotion, rhythm, and texture to craft a sound that moves fluidly between dancefloor melancholy and dark indie dance. Their music merges somber synths, pulsing basslines, and ethereal vocals, weaving intimate narratives that feel both cinematic and visceral. Their latest offering, Losers Arcade, unfolds like a nocturnal odyssey through shadow and light. The title track welcomes listeners into a dark, hypnotic atmosphere—a dimly lit club where haunting vocals echo among writhing silhouettes, carried by monumental synths and a magnetic sense of tension. The journey continues with 13, a ritualistic, dark disco invocation. Driven by wild percussions and a spellbinding groove, the track conjures an almost supernatural energy—whispers of witchcraft layered atop a hypnotic bassline, inviting the listener to surrender to its mysterious rhythm. With Losers Arcade, NUVEM confirms their place among the most compelling new voices in live electronic music—a duo unafraid to merge emotion with edge, and melody with mysticism. Stay tuned as Magician On Duty continues its tradition of releasing music that blurs the line between the mystical and the magnetic.

More than an introduction, it was a statement: a journey through modular synths, organic instrumentation, and cinematic textures that reflected his diverse background as a multi-instrumentalist. The release showcased not only his mastery of the saxophone, piano, guitar, and drums, but also his ability to translate those traditions into a fresh electronic language. His second release deepened this narrative, weaving warmth and intricacy into the Magician On Duty catalog. Here, he began to shape his signature: deep, melodic, and textural soundscapes that balance meditative introspection with rhythmic drive. Through remix contributions and collaborative projects, Dnl Mike has since built bridges between genres and cultures, bringing both soulful energy and modern electronic precision to every work. His versatility reflects his eclectic influences—ranging from blues and jazz to rock and classical—while remaining rooted in a timeless sense of melody and atmosphere. Now, with his fourth release, Dnl Mike delivers his most refined and emotional statement to date. A collection that feels equally at home in intimate listening spaces and expansive dancefloors, the record expands on the themes of transformation, connection, and inner journey. It is music that resonates with both the mind and the heart—crafted with patience, depth, and the wisdom of an artist unafraid to explore new sonic territory. Magician On Duty invites listeners once more into the world of Dnl Mike: a world where every note is alive, every rhythm is intentional, and every release is another chapter in a growing story.
