I finished covering the last bit of 2022 releases with this new WBU set, which means a final look at 2022 by means of a Yearmix is coming soon. The leading theme of this edition, however, is atmospheric trance and uplifting, melodic music in general.

One year after part 2 of the retrospective on 2021 was released, I have an extra set for you covering the second half of 2021 and underseen gems. Catching up on the recent stuff has been difficult, so please be patient. It might not happen anytime soon, but from what I’ve heard so far, 2022 was just as amazing. Looking forward to do the deep dive again, as I did with 2021 here.

Beryll, Pt. 1

feldhus 1 Comment

Planetarium had its 9-year anniversary this week. I took some deep dives into 2021 releases again (almost finished finally!) and discovered some real gems for a new Geophon trilogy. The meditative album by Jon Hopkins stood out to me in particular. I took almost every track from it and combined it with a potpourri of autumnal ambient. The three parts of “Beryll” will be released over the course of the winter.

Calm Pills + Planetarium

feldhus Leave a comment

For 2020, I planned to invite more guests to my regular shows than usual. A perfect opportunity just happened, as I was approached by my Mixcloud neighbour Calm Pills aka Alaeddin Khalik. His mixes appeared on FRISKY under his DJ Seroton moniker. However, the Calm Pills series on Mixcloud is a new, a bit slower, but still very harmonious direction. I think his 25th set which he submitted as my FRISKY entry for February is stunning and captures the Planetarium vibe very well.
