VORG

For more than 13 years the Arkana Festival has taken place in the Sacred Valley of the Incas, Peru — mountain, altitude and a dancefloor surrounded by history. Created by Mallki, official Padang Records DJ and pilot of EP.19 in this same series, Arkana is one of South America's longest-running gatherings and familiar ground for our crew: the Padang flag has flown there with Con Fetti (2022, 2023 and 2024) and with TEKMALL's full set in 2025.

In 2026 it was VORG's turn behind the decks — and his set landed at twilight, that turning point when the valley's light disappears behind the mountains and the floor changes state. It was the most acclaimed performance of the entire daytime stretch and one of the most special moments of the event: rolling grooves, restrained weight and a precise reading of the exact hour when Arkana trades the sun for the dark.

Robson Morche, Padang resident artist, took to Peru the same zenonesque psytrance and dark progressive he signs on Ponto de Aglutinação (2026) and across Earthdance nights. The full recording — 1h37 of live capture — now becomes Lab Series EP.24, straight from the Sacred Valley to your headphones.

"The valley switched off the light.
The floor never asked for it back."
