VA - Paradisia Vol.XIII (2025)

Paradisia Vol. XIII is the sixth compilation published by Gang of Ducks Records, curated by XIII, Alessio Capovilla, cofounder of the label.
Twenty unreleased tracks navigating fractured terrain where genres collide and dissolve.
The collection moves between traditional forms and pure synthesis, from club music into folk territories and back again, threading an esoteric line through it all—a continuity that holds even as the sound shifts radically from track to track.
