[Premiere]

Dnl Mike’s reimagining of Kinky Sound’s “Express” is a masterclass in restraint, groove, and subtle storytelling. From the opening moments, the remix establishes a hypnotic pulse—a finely tuned low-end that immediately anchors the listener into its deep, meditative flow. The kick is warm and rounded, balanced against a textured bassline that breathes rather than pounds, creating a sense of movement that feels organic and alive.

As layers unfold, Mike draws from his love of modular synthesis and analog sensibilities: arpeggiated flourishes flicker across the stereo field, while atmospheric pads create a vast, cinematic space. These textures don’t overwhelm; instead, they appear and retreat like passing scenery on a night train, keeping the listener engaged without ever breaking the spell of the groove.

The remix thrives on patience. Rather than rushing into peaks and drops, Mike allows tension to build gradually through subtle shifts—hi-hats that sharpen, percussive elements that emerge like whispers, and melodic fragments that shimmer before dissolving into the mix. This kind of storytelling shows a producer deeply attuned to the nuances of dance floor dynamics, where the journey itself is the destination.

Emotionally, the remix evokes a sense of introspection and weightless travel. It’s not a track that demands attention with force; instead, it seduces the listener into surrender, inviting them to lose themselves in its carefully sculpted layers. On the dance floor, it feels equally suited for a sunrise moment at a festival as it does for an intimate club setting where deep heads gather for something more than just rhythm.

With “Express,” Dnl Mike doesn’t just remix—he reframes. He transforms the original into a deeper, more atmospheric exploration, one that aligns perfectly with Magician On Duty’s reputation for cinematic, emotional storytelling in electronic music. It’s the kind of track that DJs will reach for when they want to elevate a set into something timeless and transporting.

Dario Klein - Do You Funk This Beat?

Dario Klein’s *“Do You Funk This Beat?”* is a masterclass in groove-driven, high-energy house music with a funky, organic twist. From the opening bars, Klein lays down a tight, syncopated rhythm section, infused with playful bass lines and percussion that feels alive. The production is crisp and spacious, with each element given room to breathe, yet constantly intertwining in a dance floor-focused conversation.

Hints of disco-era swagger peek through in the track’s bass and melodic phrasing, while the layered textures—ranging from warm keys to subtle atmospheric effects—add a refined sophistication. Klein’s skill lies in his ability to maintain a hypnotic pulse without monotony, steadily evolving the arrangement so that every few measures bring a fresh sonic detail. The result is a track that’s both a DJ’s weapon and a listener’s joy—oozing personality, charisma, and dance floor magnetism.

This is more than a groove; it’s a mood—a piece that celebrates the art of making people move without ever shouting for attention.

Ha:arp - Deeply Madly

From the very first pulse, “Deeply Madly” establishes its identity through a lush, immersive atmosphere that gently envelopes the listener. Ha.arp crafts a sonic world rooted in emotional depth and textural sophistication, embodying the spirit of Magician On Duty's more introspective and story-driven releases.

The track unfolds with patience and purpose, beginning with a minimalist rhythmic architecture—soft, tactile percussion and a muted kick that gives ample breathing room. As layers build, the production reveals its subtle complexity: melodic motifs shimmer in and out of focus, dreamy pads swell and recede like distant tides, and warm analog textures saturate the midrange, lending the track a lived-in, organic feel.

A defining feature is the melodic hook—a wistful, haunting motif that emerges gradually, laced with longing and restraint. It’s not just melody for melody’s sake, but a narrative device that pulls the listener into an introspective headspace. The emotional arc of the piece walks the line between melancholy and resolve, evoking the sensation of memory—both faded and vivid.

Ha.arp’s strength lies in his ability to balance intimacy with dancefloor sensibility. The groove is subdued but hypnotic, making this a versatile piece equally suited for an opening set at sunrise or a late-night journey in a headphones-only world. The transitions are seamless, and the sound design—while not showy—is undeniably elegant.

In “Deeply Madly,” Ha:arp () doesn’t aim to overwhelm or dazzle. Instead, he offers a meditative dive into feeling, memory, and motion. It’s a track that invites you to sit with it, drift with it, and, yes, feel deeply and madly.

Ha:arp - Love is Broken

Ha.arp () returns with “Love is Broken,” a deep and emotionally intricate track that feels both meditative and cinematic — the kind of piece that doesn’t just play in the background but quietly insists on being felt. From the first moments, the atmosphere is rich with sonic intention: soft ambient textures set a moody foundation, while minimal percussion pulses like a distant heartbeat.

The composition unfolds with patience. Rather than chasing a traditional drop or hook, Ha.arp crafts a story in slow motion. Synths swell and decay like flickers of memory, while melancholic chord progressions evoke a sense of longing — fitting given the track’s title. The production is spacious, letting every element breathe. This isn’t a track designed to ignite a dance floor, but to linger in the early hours or in moments of introspection.

Where the track truly excels is in its subtlety. Tiny melodic inflections , and delicate percussive accents are placed with care, suggesting a producer with a cinematic sensibility. There’s a strong modular or analog character to the synth tones — warm, tactile, and a bit ghostly — adding a human imperfection that balances the track’s digital polish.

In the context of the Magician On Duty aesthetic, “Love is Broken” is a perfect fit — a piece of emotionally intelligent downtempo music that resonates well beyond its runtime. It’s understated but memorable, the kind of track that finds its home not just in mixes but in the hearts of those attuned to subtle storytelling through sound.

bepo - Contour (Bianco & Schlemann Remix)

This remix breathes deep within the atmospheric niche of downtempo and melodic deep house — a genre that relies less on maximalist impact and more on subtlety, tension, and immersive groove.

Production & Atmosphere:
From the first few bars, the production is immediately cinematic. Layers of ethereal pads hover in a warm stereo field, drawing you into a hazy, almost meditative space. The mix boasts a remarkable balance: each element — whether it’s a crisp hi-hat pattern or a slow-burning synth swell — feels intentional, placed with an ear for both space and texture.

The remixers, Bianco & Schlemann, are clearly versed in restraint. They stretch the dynamics patiently, never rushing the progression. Percussion elements are minimal but meaningful — a syncopated rim, an understated kick — and they serve the greater mood rather than dominate it.

Melodic Content:
Melodically, “Contour” feels like it was sculpted rather than written. Subtle motifs drift in and out, often more hinted at than stated. This impressionistic approach keeps the listener engaged — it’s music for both the dancefloor and introspection. The remix isn’t about hooks; it’s about contouring emotional space, staying true to the title’s namesake.

Remix Interpretation:
Bianco & Schlemann don't overhaul the original; they distill it. They pull it through a lens of smoky lounge vibes and subdued psychedelia, adding just enough rhythmic propulsion to make it club-worthy without losing its ambient core. It’s the kind of track you’d expect to hear at sunrise on a Tulum beach or tucked deep into a Berlin after-hours set.

The Lost Boys [SA], YO-GURT - Psychedelic Safari (Dario Klein Remix)

Magician On Duty proudly unveils Psychedelic Safari (Dario Klein Remix) — a captivating reinterpretation of the original track by South African duo The Lost Boys [SA] and YO-GURT. Steeped in vivid sonic detail and guided by Dario Klein’s signature hypnotic touch, this remix is a deep dive into psychedelic house that blurs the line between club anthem and cinematic journey.

Opening with atmospheric textures and dreamlike synths, Klein’s remix immediately sets a lush and immersive tone. Warm pads, distant vocal flourishes, and layered percussion create a sonic landscape that feels equal parts rainforest and outer space. As the groove builds, the track introduces a rolling low-end, crisp claps, and a delicate arpeggiated melody that snakes through the mix like a compass leading the way through unexplored terrain.

Klein’s approach is subtle yet powerful, favoring micro-dynamic shifts and carefully curated sound design over conventional builds. The track moves fluidly from meditative breakdowns to driving dancefloor moments, weaving together organic elements and deep electronic textures. The result is a remix that’s rich in atmosphere but still grounded in rhythm — perfect for late-night sets, sunrise sessions, or headphone escapism.

Mastered to perfection, Psychedelic Safari (Dario Klein Remix) balances warmth and clarity, giving each sonic element its own space while delivering the punch needed for modern sound systems.
