Magician On Duty Journey Series

Konstantin Kobra arrives on Magician On Duty with “Need Ya Luv” a slow-burning transmission for the hour when daylight begins to disappear and the night has not yet decided what it wants to become.

Warm bass rolls beneath elastic percussion. Soft electric piano glimmers through the haze. Fragments of a voice drift in and out of focus, carrying the simple confession: “I need your love, you're the only one.” Familiar words, perhaps — but here they feel like a message intercepted from somewhere beyond the visible world.

The groove never hurries. It bends, breathes and slowly pulls you inward, dissolving the edges between rhythm and sensation. When the kick disappears, lush chords and distant synths leave the track floating somewhere outside of time, suspended for a moment before the beat returns and gently brings the body back to earth.

There is a sense of distance in Kobra’s music. After stepping away from the accelerated rhythm of the industry, he disappeared to a small island in South Asia, building a studio high in the mountains and turning inward to find his own frequency. Out of that solitude came a language where analog warmth meets minimalism, acid traces dissolve into deep hypnotic rhythms, and the physical begins to blur with the dreamlike.

In little more than a year, that sound has travelled far beyond the mountains, appearing on labels including Diynamic , Glasgow Underground, The Gardens of Babylon, Multinotes, Rummel and Dobar House, while finding its way into the sets of Solomun, &ME, Offaiah, OMRI. and Ferreck Dawn.

The bass whispers beneath the skin. The stars lean closer. The horizon dissolves into velvet, and somewhere between one beat and the next, the dancefloor becomes a doorway.

Step through: I Need Ya Luv.

MAGICIAN ON DUTY JOURNEY SERIES: SAVAGGIO — LIVE AT CHATEAU PERCHÉ

The latest Magician On Duty Journey Series comes from Roberto Savaggio, recorded live at Chateau Perché Festival in France on July 4th, 2026.

Berlin has long been Savaggio’s base, but nomadism is perhaps a better description of his musical geography. His sets move between live strings, electronic rhythm and improvisation, with the violin functioning less as an ornament than as another voice within the groove. He calls the approach “deepstring”.

Savaggio’s history with Magician On Duty dates back to 2021, when he joined Canadian producer Kostiya for Ellipsis, a collaborative EP built around dubby textures, fragmented strings and melodic house. The release also featured remixes from Wareika and Ki Ya Tori, marking an early meeting point between Savaggio’s live instrumentation and the label’s psychedelic, organic side.

Since then, his sound has travelled considerably further. He has appeared at Berlin institutions including Kater Blau, Ritter Butzke and Sisyphos, as well as Chateau Perché, House of Yes in New York, Meadows in the Mountains and a number of less conventional settings. His productions and collaborations have surfaced on labels including Traum Schallplatten, Suprematic, Submarine Vibes, Natura Viva and Magician On Duty. In 2025, he also launched [nomnomnom] with Dark Arps.

This recording captures Savaggio in a setting that suits his approach: a festival built around discovery, where the boundaries between performance and dancefloor tend to become less fixed. Rather than treating the violin as a separate element, he folds it into the electronic framework, allowing phrases to emerge, disappear and return as the set develops.

Recorded in France on a summer night, this is a document of that exchange between player, machine and crowd.

The Journey continues.

Magician On Duty returns to Berlin-based producer and music selector SPEYS for a new installment of the Journey Series.

Since 2020, SPEYS has been operating somewhere outside the usual genre grid. His music moves through deep house, acid, indie dance, organic grooves and mid-tempo territory, but the distinctions tend to disappear once the music is in motion. What remains is the groove, patient, hypnotic and quietly insistent.

For this Journey Series episode, SPEYS enters that undefined space once again.

The mix unfolds like a passage through unfamiliar terrain. Nothing is announced, nothing is forced. One moment gradually gives way to another, with rhythms appearing almost from the shadows and disappearing before they can be fully understood. Familiar sounds become slightly distorted, unexpected connections begin to surface, and the line between one mood and the next becomes increasingly difficult to locate.

There is a deliberate sense of restraint throughout. SPEYS leaves enough space for the music to breathe, allowing small details to become significant and repetition to take on a ritualistic quality. The journey is less about reaching a climax than about losing track of where you are.

This is perhaps the defining quality of SPEYS' work, an attraction to the spaces that exist between things. Between darkness and light. Between movement and stillness. Between the familiar and the unknown.

His previous appearance on Magician On Duty came through “In Between”, an EP that explored the same territory from a production perspective, moving between acid, organic house, indie dance and mid-tempo boogie. The release received support from Deer Jade, Joyce Muniz, I Promised Mom, Robbie Akbal and Nhii, further connecting SPEYS' music with artists exploring the less obvious corners of the dancefloor.

The new Journey Series episode continues that exploration, but this time the destination is deliberately obscured.

Magician On Duty & Dario Klein — 6 Hours 30 min, No Rules

On August 15th, 2026, Magician On Duty and Dario Klein returned to the booth for their third all-night back-to-back — six and a half hours of music, movement, laughter and complete creative freedom.

What began as another night behind the decks quickly turned into something neither artist wanted to end. Seven hours disappeared almost unnoticed, carried by a constant exchange of energy between two friends, an open-minded crowd and a musical conversation that never needed a script.

“six hours and a half flew by without noticing. We had so much fun playing together and even though this is our 3rd time doing an all night back to back, I think this one was our best,” says Magician On Duty. “The track selection and our energy was in a constant flow, the laughter and the interaction with the crowd was beautiful.”

Dario Klein echoed the sentiment, equally pleased with how naturally the night unfolded and how deeply the music, the room and the two DJs connected.

There was no predetermined destination. The music moved wherever the moment demanded — left, right, back and forth, following instinct rather than structure. Tracks appeared that might never find their way into a conventional club or festival set, given the freedom that only a long, uninterrupted night can offer.

Three encounters. Seven hours. No plan.

Just two friends listening, responding, laughing and trusting the process.

Now, the recording opens the door to that night once again — an unfiltered document of what happens when the clock disappears and the music takes over.

Much love from Magician On Duty & Dario Klein.
