In this mix organic house meets hypnotic groove with Anatolian and Oriental textures. The mix flows through lower BPM and deep melodic techno driven by emotion and storytelling. Immersive sound for late-night listening and introspection.
In the waters of time, we are no longer Romans or moderns. We simply remain. We simply are. When we immerse in water, we meet ourselves. We hear it, we feel it. The world stands still, and we return to ourselves. We are home.
THE CURE – Seventeen Seconds – 1980

In this mix, we dive into darker grooves and driving rhythms. Heavier, moody atmospheres that build, deconstruct and rebuild.

Human. Robot. Opera. This mix drifts through deep progressive grooves, slowly building tension before unleashing sharp and twisted acid lines. Warm atmosphere collides with cold robotic voices and some opera fragments that flow continuously through the mix.

Pas un, mais deux réalisateurs nous rejoignent pour ce Bistro d’exception et porté sur le cinéma en cette période festive et exceptionnelle qu’est le Lux Film Festival. Mehdi Hmili et Fanny Ovesen, respectivement réalisateur et réalisatrice de “Exil” (en salle ce 18 mars au Luxembourg) et Live a Little (date de sortie en attente) se confient en effet à nous sur leurs créations, l’idée derrière cet opos, les difficultés et challenges, et, bien évidemment, la fierté du travail achevé. Entretien Grand Ecran pour ce Bistro !
This is a “curious” set 🙂 It is more like exploration across organic house,downtempo and afrohouse that dives deeper into progressive techno. Each transition is guided by the mood rather than genre with a more natural and warm groove.
GA GA GARAGE live von der Luxexpo Wir waren zu Gast beim Festival des Migrations und stellen euch die Künstlerin Mireille Marteau vor. Mireille Marteau aka Tamara Kapp, Luxemburgs umtriebige Musikerin und Videokünstlerin, gewährt uns einen Einblick in ihr vielfältiges Schaffen. Von träshiquen Elekropopchansons über Deutschpunk, Detonationsrock, schwebenden Tributesongs – mit ebenso schwebenden Trickanimationsclips – bis hin zu einer Klangreise mit dekonstruierten selbst komponierten Liedern aus ihrem “Petit Monde”-Konzeptalbum, ist alles dabei. Sie ist als One-Woman Band sowohl Komponistin, Schlagzeugerin, Bassistin, Aufnahmeleiterin, Programmiererin, Tontechnikerin u.v.m. Obendrauf gibt es seit 2005 ihre Musikclips, in denen sie i.d.R. auch alles alleine fabriziert….

In the second episode of Kontrovers – the podcast about the prison system, we take a closer look at Luxembourg’s largest prison: Schraasseg (Centre pénitentiaire de Luxembourg). We begin by presenting key historical facts about the prison and discussing how the institution has evolved over time. The episode also examines current figures and the role of Schraasseg within the Luxembourgish prison system today. Most importantly, the episode gives space to personal experiences. Two former prisoners share their perspectives and speak openly about their time behind bars, their daily life in prison, and how they experienced incarceration. By combining historical context,
Den Toun iwwert Asylpolitik gëtt ëmmer méi schaarf. Flüchtlinge ginn als potenziell Krimineller oder als Belaaschtung ugesinn, wéi zwou rezent Aussoe vu Ministere weisen. Mä déi Stëmmung schléit sech och a Gesetz ëm. Ee Beispill dofir ass de regroupement familial, bei dem d‘Regierung elo vill méi streng Reegele wëll ëmsetzen. An dëser Episod vum woxx–Podcast diskutéieren d‘María Elorza Saralegui an de Joël Adami iwwert déi Lëtzebuerger Asylpolitik, de Rietsruck an der Sprooch, d‘Ignoréiere vum internationale Recht a wat dat alles fir Konsequenzen huet.
This episode carries on with the annual album countdown, this time it’s 1998 with tracks from Gomez, Massive Attack, Placebo, Sparklehorse and The Beastie Boys amongst others.

Open the episode to see the playlist.
Music is a universal language, spoken and understood by all. How else can we share our deepest feelings, our joy, our wonder at simply being alive? Since the dawn of culture, music has walked beside us, not just filling the silence but giving voice to everything that makes us human: creativity, beauty, the need to express what words cannot touch.
Luxury, wealth, prestige and shine.
Buildings that represent the Splendid Life.
Buildings strongly associated with idle and superficial existence.
Yet, the flavour of romance still hovers around them… They are the personification of the elite and high society—the upper crust who owned these exaggerated spaces. But what were they in reality? Was life within them truly so magical and magnificent? Was it all worth it?
أعلنت Luxembourg أنها ستضخ جزءًا من احتياطياتها النفطية في السوق، بإطلاق أكثر من 8,000 طن من المنتجات البترولية، في خطوة تأتي ردًا على التوترات المتصاعدة في الشرق الأوسط. ويأتي هذا القرار ضمن مبادرة دولية تقودها International Energy Agency، والتي تسمح بتعبئة ما يصل إلى 400 مليون برميل من الاحتياطيات الاستراتيجية لمواجهة ارتفاع أسعار النفط. وعلى الرغم من هذه الخطوة الكبيرة، طمأنت الحكومة المواطنين بأنه لم تُسجَّل أي مشكلات في الإمدادات داخل البلاد حتى الآن. ويهدف القرار أيضًا إلى تعزيز التضامن بين الدول الأعضاء في الوكالة وضمان أمن الطاقة في الدوقية الكبرى. في ملف العمل، أكد وزير العمل Marc Spautz أن
У відповідь на зростання напруженості на Близькому Сході Luxembourg вирішив випустити частину своїх нафтових запасів, направивши на ринок понад 8 000 тонн нафтопродуктів. Цей крок є частиною міжнародної ініціативи International Energy Agency, яка дозволяє мобілізувати до 400 мільйонів барелів стратегічних резервів для стримування зростання цін на нафту. Попри цей значний захід уряд запевнив, що наразі жодних проблем із постачанням у країні не спостерігається. Рішення також покликане зміцнити солідарність між державами-членами агентства та забезпечити енергетичну безпеку Великого Герцогства. Міністр праці Marc Spautz підтвердив, що уряд не планує скасовувати мінімальну заробітну плату після закликів від Fédération des Artisans ліквідувати кваліфіковану мінімальну зарплату.
In response to rising tensions in the Middle East, Luxembourg has decided to circulate a portion of its oil stocks, releasing more than 8 000 tonnes of petroleum. This action is part of an international initiative by the International Energy Agency (IEA), which has made it possible to mobilize up to 400 million barrels of strategic reserves to counteract soaring oil prices. Despite this significant measure, the government reassured the public that no supply issues have currently been observed within the country. This decision aims to foster solidarity among IEA member states while ensuring the Grand Duchy’s energy security. Labour
Iran’s new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, has declared that the country will keep the Strait of Hormuz closed, warning the world to prepare for oil prices to reach $200 a barrel amid ongoing conflicts with the U.S. and Israel. Following attacks on merchant ships, Khamenei emphasized Iran’s commitment to retaliate and close U.S. military bases in the region. This escalation comes as U.S. oil prices rise sharply, influenced by the ongoing war, which the International Energy Agency describes as causing the largest disruption to global oil supplies in history. Despite a coordinated release of strategic oil reserves by developed nations,
Across the western United States, a growing movement is helping Native American tribes regain ancestral lands that were taken from them over generations. Known as the “Land Back” movement, it aims to restore Indigenous stewardship of territories with deep cultural, spiritual, and environmental significance. In recent years, tribes have begun seeing real progress. One major example involves the Washoe Tribe of Nevada and California, which is set to regain more than 10,000 acres of ancestral land in the Northern Sierra Nevada — one of the largest land returns in the region. These efforts are often the result of long campaigns
A mix of progressive and classic melodic techno blended with oriental influence and some old school sounds.
أعادت السلطات فتح Port of Mertert بعد الانتهاء من عمليات التنظيف عقب التسرب النفطي الذي وقع في Moselle River. وأكدت Administration de la gestion de l’eau أن الإجراءات الرامية إلى إزالة المادة الملوِّثة ومنع انتشارها قد اكتملت بنجاح. ولا تزال التحقيقات جارية بالتعاون مع الشرطة لتحديد مصدر التلوث، فيما تبيّن أن البنية التحتية للميناء، بما في ذلك فاصل الزيت، ليست مصدر التسرب. وتشير التقديرات إلى أن ما بين 20 و50 لتراً من مادة زيتية تسربت من الميناء. وقد ساعدت الحواجز العائمة وأجهزة جمع الزيت في منع انتشار التلوث بشكل أكبر. أما التأثير البيئي للحادثة فما زال غير معروف حتى الآن،
Порт Port of Mertert знову відкрився після завершення операцій з очищення, спричинених розливом нафти в Moselle River. Administration de la gestion de l’eau підтвердила, що заходи з ліквідації шкідливої речовини та запобігання її поширенню завершено. Розслідування джерела забруднення триває у співпраці з поліцією. Встановлено, що портова інфраструктура, зокрема нафтовий сепаратор, не є джерелом витоку. За оцінками, з порту витекло від 20 до 50 літрів маслянистої речовини. Використання бар’єрів і скімерів допомогло запобігти подальшому забрудненню. Екологічний вплив поки що невідомий, оскільки аналіз зразків води триває. Тим часом промисловий сектор Luxembourg планує найняти понад 3 000 працівників протягом наступних двох років, згідно
Following the oil spill incident in the Moselle River, the port of Mertert has reopened after successful cleanup operations. The Administration of Water Management (AGE) confirmed that measures to eliminate the harmful substance and prevent its spread have been completed. Investigations into the source of the pollution are ongoing in collaboration with the police, and it has been determined that the port’s infrastructure, including the oil separator, is not the source of the leak. An estimated 20 to 50 liters of the oily substance had spilled from the port. Efforts using containment barriers and skimmers prevented further contamination. The environmental
Iran has warned the global community to prepare for oil prices to potentially reach $200 a barrel following recent military actions, including attacks on merchant ships in the Gulf. This escalation comes amidst a considerable buildup of U.S. military forces in the region and intensified U.S.-Israeli airstrikes on Iran, which have reportedly increased tensions significantly. Iranian officials claim responsibility for multiple attacks on vessels that disobeyed orders, resulting in casualties and damage to various ships. As the conflict continues, both U.S. and Iranian leadership have signaled no immediate end to hostilities, raising concerns about long-term economic impacts and regional stability.
A new clinical trial suggests that a simple pill could one day replace bulky sleep-apnea machines for many patients. Researchers found that the drug sulthiame significantly reduced breathing interruptions during sleep in people with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea. Sleep apnea occurs when the airway repeatedly collapses during sleep, causing breathing to stop temporarily and lowering oxygen levels. These interruptions can happen dozens of times per hour, leaving people exhausted and increasing the risk of heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure and type-2 diabetes. Today, the most common treatment is a CPAP machine, which keeps the airway open by
