Pasajera Oscura mix for NTS Live

Posted on

Stream this mixtape by SHAPE artists Chra and Irradiation, together known as Pasajera Oscura.

About Pasajera Oscura:

When Irradiation and Chra teamed up as representative musicians for Pasajera Oscura, they didn’t know what to expect. They were invited to do some shows in Vienna, based on sinewaves, dark beats, low frequencies and synthesizer improvisation. A long break followed, which both musicians used to record their solo works.

In autumn 2014, Pasajera Oscura got an invitation to play at a little festival organised by skug music magazine. for this event, Irradiation and Chra created a 4-channel live set, and during rehearsals decided to continue to work on their tracks in 2015 – and start to record some tracks for a compilation on Comfortzone (Chra’s label) and an EP together.
