Střed Světa – Rozmístění opakováním (Baba Vanga, 2017)

Three years after his brain-twisting, mind-expanding, lucid sonic opus that was his self-titled debut album on our sister label, Baba Vanga, the elusive Czech artist returns to our imprint with his new outing, deepening the fractured rhythmic structures while oscillating in a territory that touches upon “techno”, or “house”, but always ends up in a space that’s decidedly his own.

Střed Světa podcast

A psychedelic journey into the musical mind of Střed Světa, whose cassette appeared on our affiliated Baba Vanga rec at the end of January. A lysergic techno for psychedelic minds is how we dubbed it /in a particularly uninventive spark of logorhea/.

Střed Světa – Střed Světa /Baba Vanga, 2013/

After having travelled half of /the eastern/ part of Europe over the last two or three years, and meeting and discovering amazing music, we have decided we want to make it heard, loud and physical.
