Castles in Space

Castles in Space is a record label based in Biggleswade, UK. We specialize in producing hand numbered colored wax editions of music releases, accompanied by inserts and badges. Our focus is on curating unique and limited edition vinyl records that are both visually stunning and sonically captivating. With our passion for quality craftsmanship and attention to detail, we aim to provide music enthusiasts with an exceptional listening experience.

Castles in Space is thrilled to present Luke Requena’s debut solo album, Mirror Stage. As the Lacanian title suggests, it is a collection of meditations and self-reflection translated into sonic explorations of the space that connects the macrocosm and the microcosm. Inspired largely by Tarkovsky’s film Solaris, the making of Mirror Stage was a musical journey of internal struggle across subconscious landscapes.

Requena is a composer and multi-instrumentalist based in Vancouver, BC. Although his main source of sound is analog synthesizers, he also integrates santur, guitar and organs into his pieces. Drawing influences from artists such as Günter Schickert, early Pink Floyd, and classical Persian music, Mirror Stage emits waves of sonic and lush textures while exploring the dark cosmos. It’s a genuinely enthralling work.

Luke has already released a double album, Nocturnal / Seasonal with John Jeffrey, drummer of Moon Duo, for the Castles in Space Subscription Library as part of the new age electronic jazz project, Oscilloclast.
