Welcome back to the Magician On Duty Journey Series!

On this edition we welcome Xia Ke (@xiakes)

Producer/DJ, Founder of Autumn Equinox (@AutumnEquinoxLabel)

The explorer of the unknown. The rabbit hole digger and dream builder.

The dream of being a druid since his childhood, the ancient spirit in his blood, the moody soul and the sensitivity to capture exquisite and glittering melodies, lead Xia Ke to the ethnic, organic and spiritual paradise.

You may find ice and fire exist simultaneously, glowing light and hope fading in through darkness and sadness, or occasional thorns out of tranquility in both his tracks and sets. It shows his belief in the balance of the universe.

He has released productions on labels like Cafe de Anatolia, Cosmovision, Kosa, Shango and so on. At the end of 2023, he moved to Shanghai and started to get the chance to support accomplished artists such as Franca, MAGA, Sparrow & Barbossa, and many more.

I hope you enjoy this journey as much as I did!

Hailing originally from the Caucasus region, Arturo's lineage is a colorful tapestry of Gypsy, Belarusian, Ukrainian, and Russian heritage.

While his musical tastes initially spanned a broad spectrum, Arturo's affinity for gritty, pulsating sounds soon emerged. It was during his time at the University of Heidelberg and amidst the electric atmosphere of Saarbrücken's techno scene that he found his true calling in synthetic and psychedelic sounds.

Since those formative years, Arturo has been a fixture behind the decks at numerous open-air events, raves, and club gatherings in and around Mannheim and Heidelberg. His involvement in various youthful rave collectives marked the beginning of a journey that would lead him to the forefront of the electronic music scene.

A pivotal moment in Arturo's career came with his association with the creative music collective "Slow Bar" and his residency at Frankfurt's esteemed event series, "Kabinett der Kuriositäten." These experiences further honed his skills and expanded his artistic horizons, paving the way for his relocation to Berlin.

In Berlin's dynamic musical landscape, Arturo has left an indelible mark, gracing the stages of renowned clubs such as "Klunkerkranich," "Beate Uwe," "Remise," and the legendary "Kater Blau." His sonic palette defies categorization, blending elements of Slowrave, Flowwave, Ketapop, and a myriad of other genres into a seamless tapestry of sound.

For Arturo, there are no rules in the realm of music, only boundless creativity and limitless expression. His sets are a testament to this philosophy, weaving together moments of magic with pulsating, progressive beats. From smashy and sexy grooves to trippy soundscapes and bumpy drum patterns, Arturo's signature style is characterized by its versatility and innovation.

In a world where genres are mere constructs, Arturo stands as a beacon of musical freedom, pushing boundaries and transcending limitations with each electrifying performance.
