DIGITAL ALCHEMY 5 represented full night dj session done by codex crew. as before, they continue with their heavy step sessions which are seemingly too hard for mainstream drum and bass lamers to keep up. however, we are still on the track, we made a marvelous private new year's eve party at domin8r's place, and this year we all are definitelly going further into music and our public appereance frequency depends only on possibilities to throw a non-compromised event, so you know you can always get the real stuff from us. as usual, the show was visually complemented by selected demo scene visuals radiating from the big screen, for those who care...

fourth edition of DIGITAL ALCHEMY featured full two hours of demo showdown, followed up by electronic/ambient dj set created by DJ Svrabisha and Paranoid. demo scene visuals continued during the music set, in a form of selective playback directly from computer, presenting the selection of latest PC demo productions. selection of demos was arranged by domin8r. radio jingle is available for download in mp3 format [600kb].

DIGITAL ALCHEMY III event happened in belgrade's DOM OMLADINE [youth center] on 23th with the reprise of DA1 codex + lo-tek kings step/dnb session. it was great, LTK as well as codex did their part well, but still not quite much people attended. anyway, DA will continue to provide the space for original musicians and dj's, so we hope it will live on enough to get some attention in this city of music clans and hatred. radio jingle is available for download in mp3 format [460kb].
