Agharo 23 - DJazz (Onipak – Labyrinths)

The Agharo Mix Series Agharo is a language, book, philosophy and tarot deck created by collective member Jaco Perroud. We invite a guest to pick a card at random and create a mix inspired by its meaning. Our 23rd submission comes from @all-that-djazz Follow: https://www.instagram.com/djazz_live About I’m Aditya Malve, also known as DJazz (pronounced 'Jazz'), and for me, Jazz has never just been a genre, it’s a way of seeing the world. Of course, you can define Jazz through improvisation, swing, blue notes, call-and-response, polyrhythms… but to me, it goes far beyond music. I see Jazz in everything - from Newton discovering gravity to UFO sightings, from climate engineering to something as simple and perfect as a heavenly tiramisu. In some way or another, everything carries that same spirit. All That DJazz is my exploration of that idea. It’s an imprint I created to share my sound and perspective. My influences come from everywhere - UK sounds, jungle, jazz, Indian classical, blues, house, and more, and because of that, I’ve never wanted to confine it to one genre. Card 48: Onipak – Labyrinths (This card belongs to the Lixin group). About the Lixin Cards: These are cards that represent the philosophy of Sihtreh. In the light, the cards smile upon those aspects are the easiness of how to achieve certain quality or capacity, as in the dark is the lack of it, the difficulty, struggle to find the way to the concept that can help into finding the light. Speak of the path we follow and how to act and proceed, how to see the world in relation to ourselves and how to read what surrounds us. About the Card: Onipak – Labyrinths From the heart of the universe labyrinths had been created, one per each living soul. The labyrinth lives within the mind of men and those who succeed in reaching its center achieve the Light. The labyrinths represent the trickery of the mind and, thus, their manifestations in the world. The deceits and the crossroads. The theory of fates lays in every corner, every division. It is impossible for a man to destroy a path, a destiny, for there is no destinies but a Destiny in which all fates had been sealed and wave the will of the world. The labyrinth is a condition of the universe, it is the universe and us. Those who find themselves within the labyrinth of Life will find deep Darkness or longed Light. How did the meaning of the tarot card inspire the journey of this mix? To be frank, it took me a minute to read and understand the meaning of the card. However, I’m thrilled to record a mix nearing 3 hours. The mix floats through ambient-atmospheric, originals, latin, jazz, funk, house, techno, breaks and more. To speak about the prompt/card - In the light, it shows how easily I can develop certain qualities or abilities. In the dark, it reveals where I struggle, where things don’t come naturally, and where I feel lost. It reminds me that my path is about recognizing these challenges and working through them to find clarity and growth. The same reflects in the mix, it's jumping across genres, styles, flavours, colors, and more.
