Alien Vibes From the Earth Radio Show EPS. Fjords With Passwar D

The title of the episode gives away the idea behind: an epic spring road trip along the most dramatic coastline in Scandinavia. There is nothing more transcending than listening to the music that transports you to a different place. The collective experiences of confinement in the past year have made many of us daydream about the exotic places we wish to visit. It is one of such moments that prompted Passwar D to create the mix for Alien Vibes From the Earth Radio Show May Episode.

Have you been to Fjords during May when wildflowers start to bloom and sunshine is plenty? Imagining that you are driving on the narrow, man-made rock trail without sight of other tourists while breathing the icy yet salty air and blasting tracks from Mr.diamond, Gaetano Parisio, Dubspeeka. Or, perhaps, we are zigzagging the serpentine-like Trollstigen pass, admiring the mighty mountains and landscapes of early summer while feeling the beats pumping.

Episode FJORDS is a rich and textured mix with a clear intent. It is designed to take you to different places from the comfort of your own home. It is about escaping reality, finding peace within oneself. Each track was selected for its unique auditory quality. The experience varies depending on how you listen to it. Try to listen to it quietly in the background first. Then, listen to it again with the volume turned up. Two very different experiences will occur!

Alien Vibes From the Earth Radio Show EPS. Dama With Passwar D

Cinematic and hypnotic, Alien Vibes From the Earth Radio Show 2021 Episode Dama opens with Alexskyspirit’s TXL2ATH Original Mix from his Quartz Rec. debut album, District X17. As a state of mind filled with mystic suspense, TXL2ATH is a texturally minimalistic track that is spacey and atmospheric. This vast-in-space ambiance quickly morphs into a darker, more agitated, and very eerily cosmic openness supplied by Talismann's tune, Desert Rose (Original Mix). Those "supernatural frequencies" form a massive soundscape with an orchestrated ambition, pushing forward by continuous drum beats and creating the kind of anxiety that only occurs when facing the unknown. Then, here comes the relief: the playful, optimistic, and cheerful track of Sebastian Mullaert Kikaqu (Original Mix) that leads us straight into the belly of a happy dance tune, Radio Waves (After Dark) by Spencer Parker, a London-born, Berlin-based artist.

Judging from the first part of Episode Dama, it is apparent that Passwar D used every single track to craft a twist and turn that mimics human emotion.

"There is so much unpredictability in our environment. One can feel happy, sad, desperate, and back to hopefully within one single day. I want the mix to be the mirror of this ever-shifting emotion."

Passwar D, March 2021

As for the selection of tracks, Passwar D opted in for a non-purist approach, masterfully combining multiple forms of electronic music, from the ambiance, electronica, dance, house, techno, and indie, into one single mix. The reason behind the choices is partly due to his current inclination towards multi-genres storytelling, and mostly as a nod to the articulation of human emotion complexity.

Now, if you are wondering where Passwar D decided to take us on this sonic voyage? Please stay on and listen to the entire episode.

Alien Vibes From the Earth Radio Show With Passwar D, EPS. Crete (Part 1): Live on Palm Beach, Foinikas

SECRETIVITÈ, Live DJ Set by Passwar D, Palm Beach, Foinikas, Crete, September 22, 2014

In this episode of Alien Vibe From the Earth Radio Show, we traveled back to 2014 to share with you the first of the 3-part recording of the live set with Passwar D on Crete island.

As mentioned in this past New Year EPS. 1af1 "Unforgettable", good music stands the test of time. In the electronic music sphere, it is often encouraged to promote the latest, the newest, and the hottest of the moment. Many producers created wonderful music that never got to be played enough in public. With the listeners relying more and more on algorithm-driven playlists provided by a platform like Spotify, it becomes even harder to discover music that is on the "non-conforming" side. Hence, at DJSD, we made a point to bring back DJ sets we love from the past by Passwar D so we can help to resurface some of those marvelous tracks.

We love music that is filled with complicated textures, nuanced intricacies, and emotional soundscapes that transcend us to a different place and time. Many of Passwar D's live sets reflect his experiences at a given time. Each track for the set was selected to convey the feeling evoked by such experiences. The progression of the set is the direct reaction to the visceral stimulus. They are always an emotional undertaking. The tracks in those live sets acted like paragraphs in a book. They help to shape the narratives that form emotional storytelling.

We sincerely hope that you enjoy the episode. Don't forget to bring it with you for your summer traveling. If you like this episode, stay tuned for the subsequent 2 parts as each one evolved from the previous one. Together, they bring the listeners back to the evenings in the early fall on Crete island where local people gathered together to marvel at the glorious sunset while dancing away into the darkness.
