We’re absolutely buzzing to drop the lineup for our January 24th event at the iconic Starlane Pizza Bar - a night set to dive deep into hypnotic grooves and ethereal atmospheres.

Crescent is honored to have Blazej Malinowski, a true titan of the global techno scene, as the headliner of the event. He will treat us with his signature blend of deep, driving rhythms and hypnotic, psychedelic vibes. With his record label Inner Tension, he is shaping the sound of techno from Berlin to everywhere in between. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to experience his world-class skills live with an exclusive 3-hour extended set.

Rounding out the night is Crescent resident Labyrinthine, fresh off a Japan tour that included a standout set at Tokyo’s legendary Womb. Renowned for his ability to craft immersive journeys through sound, he’s bringing that same energy back home for our January event to ignite the dancefloor.

Today, we're proudly sharing a mix from Joachim, an Affin-only set just under two hours, featuring ambient and atmospheric techno tracks from the past two years of this iconic record label.

Joachim Spieth is a German DJ, music producer and label owner who emerged musically in the late nineties and has since developed a multi-faceted spectrum of sound between the poles of ambient and spherical techno. Characteristic for his work is the attention to detail and a sensitive sensorium for the creation of atmospheres, which one can hardly escape, no matter if this takes place in his studio work or in his performances.

After several years of intensive collaboration with Wolfgang Voigt's Kompakt imprint, he founded his own label, Affin, in 2007, which has been constantly developing ever since and has made a name for itself internationally. Besides quite a few EP's and collaborations, he has released a number of albums in the past years such as Irradiance, Tides, Ousia, Terrain as well as the recently released Reshape projekt, which features variations of his music tracks by Alva Noto, ASC, bvdub and others. In addition to the albums, the Textures Sound Library series was created, which impressively document Spieth's musical development. As a DJ, Joachim Spieth has been performing in more than 30 countries all over the world. He’s driven by an absolute devotion to music and his pleasure to share it.

Today we're presenting the result of the work of two friends, Jhon and Salva. We hope you enjoy the collaboration between !nertia and ABSIS.

!nertia is a composer & performer who pushes the boundaries of sonic arts. His work explores the motion of sound through an instinctive way of working; he makes field recordings and then he extracts movement out of natural sounds, afterwards, he combines these elements into live electronics to create an endless journey. A smooth and organic blend, fusing the electronic and natural world into one ambience. This approach results into emotional, atmospheric and hypnotic art works, which mutate into performances to experience his narrative sound in diverse multi sensorial ways.

ABSIS is Salva Coromina, a regular DJ in the Barcelona scene since the late 90's under the alias mouseDown/MouseUp. He was a resident DJ at The Loft (Razzmatazz) and a regular at Sonar for many years. He has always been exploring the deeper side of electronic music, moving from ambient to techno. Currently, ABSIS runs his bi-monthly residency at Laut club in Barcelona under the name Midline, where he has invited DJs such as Vand, Daniel(i), Unjin, Doctrina Natura, Vardae, Fon, Simone Bauer, Foreign Material and Jin Synth. He is also a resident at the MOSTRA festival in Barcelona and his productions are published on labels such as hivern discs and Oslated among others.

OWL is a Belgian electronic music producer who started producing under the alias Glÿph with his friend Clearlight and also under the alias OZOH.

In 2013, Owl wanted to expand his musical vision and push the boundaries of his creativity. This led him to delve into new sonic territories, capturing the attention of labels such as Silent Season, Lowless, Huinali, Stasis, DNO, re:st and Muzan Editions. His distinctive sound began to resonate within the electronic music community, setting the stage for his continued evolution as an artist.

Owl’s aptitude for creating subtle, lush sonic journeys keeps expanding and his last releases should further cement his reputation. The artist’s discography is in perpetual evolution : from autonomic dnb, deep techno to a dreamy & melancholy ambient journey.
