Village Underground has a special place in our hearts! We had an amazing show there in the early days of Circle Of Live and can't wait to be back. The combination of Neel, Peter Van Hoesen and Sebastian Mullaert also has a special place! Their respective styles come together in a psychedelic melting pot that can draw you in slowly or seamlessly switch from dreamy ambient to mind-bending techno in the blink of an eye.
Tbilisi, and more specifically Bassiani, is at the centre of a political techno revolution, where the reason to dance is more than just an escape. We have been inspired by the positivity of the city's scene in recent times and are excited to make our little contribution. Neel, Sebastian Mullaert, Vril and the people of Bassiani are in this one together!
Sebastian Mullaert, Neel and Eitan Reiter represent in Tel Aviv, bringing their collage of psychedelic sounds back to one of the world's very best venues, The Block. The club is well known for its exceptional sound systems and dedicated crowd, we can't wait to put both to the test again! Last year's night there - just the second Circle Of Live ever did - was the longest ever at 11 hours. Can we do longer?!
Justice has prevailed and Dehors Brut is back open! Which means our cancelled jam is back on and we couldn’t be happier. We had an amazing night with this crew when they were doing parties at the legendary Concrete and now it’s time to see what the new spot is all about.
Sebastian has invited Frank Wiedemann (Âme Live), Matt Karmil and Laurence Guy to join him at the controls. À bientôt!
Circle Of Live return to Lux Lisbon for a night In Dance. Joining Sebastian Mullaert is fellow Swedish purveyor of deep, heady sounds Dorisburg and a more recent addition to the COL roster in Laurence Guy. The three of them will interact, express, improvise, experiment and, most importantly, enjoy the night with you at Lux.
We return to Inkonst in Malmö for another Circle Of Live jam on November 9!
Inkonst is Malmö’s hub for left-field, underground dance and experimental music, the home to the boundary-pushing Intonal Festival and also part of the inspiration for Sebastian Mullaert’s new solo album. It’s safe to say, we are happy and grateful for any opportunity to come and share music at this amazing space.
This time it will be Dorisburg, Matt Karmil, Sebastian Mullaert and Vril in control, or not, as the case may be... Come join and see where they take us.
We are thrilled to present a new chapter in the evolution of our project: “In Dreams” sleeping concert series. The intention behind these all-night, improvised, live ambient performances is to explore the full range of mind states occurring between sleep and consciousness, in the context of a shared collective experience.
The first In Dreams event will occur in collaboration with Amsterdam promoter Breakfast Club. Taking place in the spectacular 15th century, architectural marvel that is De Waalse Kerk church, Johanna Knutsson and Sebastian Mullaert will guide the audience through their dreams for 8 hours during regular sleeping times. De Waalse Kerk will be transformed into the ADE Zen Space for the week, and the concert will be staged within a lightscape installation and on a stage designed by Studio Koen Steger. Starting at 23:00 onwards on Thursday October 17th, the event will conclude with a breakfast at 7:00AM and provide a chance for everyone to reflect on and exchange stories from their experiences during a night of mutual dreaming.
By the means of live improvisation, Johanna and Sebastian will try to use the misty borderland between sleep and consciousness to their advantage, through sparse expansive ambient soundscapes. Can dreams be gently manipulated by a musical excursion through the unconscious landscape within? Can dreams be experienced collectively through a controlled collective experience? Will you float in a state of mind wondering whilst awake or enter a full on lucid dream? Or will you simply sleep like a baby? There’s only one way to find out, but this is a strictly limited event so don’t sleep on it (pun intended)
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
Please be ready to enter the venue a minimum of 30 minutes prior to the beginning of the concert. For the purpose of minimising disturbance of the collective experience, no entry will be allowed past the 23:00 starting point.
We will not provide your sleeping arrangements, so please bring your own pillow, cover or sleeping bag, bedroll, camping mattress etc. Or perhaps borrow from your hotel! Due to the limited space we will not allow big ol’ electrical inflatable beds or bulky mattresses. Use your common sense and get cozy!
Fruit and water will be readily available during the night. You’re allowed to bring some light refreshments but keep it simple. And more importantly quiet. Alcoholic beverages are absolutely forbidden.
Breakfast is included in the ticket price and we will serve vegetarian / vegan options.
For some, this will be a night filled with musical wonder. Others will perhaps fall asleep at 23:05, with dreams heavily infused by Knutsson & Mullaert. Either way, mutual respect and consideration are key words. There will be a host available at all times, at your service.
We reserve the right to exclude anyone not observing these requirements. But of course you will. It will be fantastic.
Circle Of Live is coming to Switzerland for the first time on November 29.
Representing circlists: Neel, Sebastian Mullaert and Peter Van Hoesen, so if you were there for the otherworldly techno trip in Barcelona this Summer, you will know the magic these three can create together.
We’re excited that the venue hosting the jam will be Geneva’s go-to underground house and techno space Le Zoo. It has a slick, dimly-lit aesthetic and emphasis on subtly psychedelic visuals, perfectly suited for our six hours of sonic wandering.
