"Incredible.. would love to see them play live“ Gilles Peterson | “Fathoms-deep, gnostic, communal psych and dub-disco-jazz jams“ Boomkat | “An ambient yet curiously spiritual work reminiscent of Miles Davis at his most abstract” Norman Records | "Imagine an exotic island fuzzed with bananas and psychedelic sounds twisted harmonies and an overall feeling of time suspension. Watch out" The Attic Favorites of 2019 | "They developed floating pieces whose common denominator is Dub. Yet not a glimmer of Jamaican sun in it but a lot of darkness and suspense" CzasKultury

ABOUT
Spiritczualic Enhancement Center is a serendipitous-jazz-cult achieving states of spectral-jamming.
As the self-appointed con-artists of the “Jazz Circus”, they have gathered outernational troupes of exploratory instrumentalists from all over the Fourth World.
Spiritczualic (hard “tch”) - an esoteric melange of ritualism and spiritism.
Psychedelic-punk eclecticism will be harnessed in 2024 as we adventurously voyage to unknown destinations of auditory hallucination.
Since its formation in an Ottoman dome by the Old City on Christmas 2017, many collaborators have "visited the Center," with origins from Iraq, Iran, Israel, Germany, Russia, USA, Japan, Turkey, Poland, Macedonia, Montenegro, Philippines, Moldova, Romania, Czechia, Denmark and England.
Fusing self-built electronics and digital algorithms with experimental improvisation on vintage and traditional instruments, Spiritczualic Enhancement Center produces site-specific recordings and space-oriented audio-visual installations.
