ani/live Twenty Six: Occa @ Transcendence, Japan

Time to share the 21st Herbarium episode with you, this time we warmly welcome our talented friend and artist @caldera-caldera from Brighton. He curated a fantastic journey between deep and subtle textures combined with delicate harmonic glimpses into other worlds.

Caldera chose the European Ash for his mix, here is why:
I chose Fraxinus excelsior since I always admired how the light shines through the leaves of those trees and it has always made me in awe of them. I've been fortunate enough to have been living opposite a little forest that consists of many Ash Trees, so it's been my studio view since moving here 9 years ago and a steady source of subtle inspiration. (The first track includes a field recording of this forest)
For this mix I tried to capture the sound and movement of this plant in the wind which is why I choose tracks that include long pads and reverberend sounds as well as music that has some kind of sprinkly patterns representing the more in depth movements and interplay of the many small leaves.

Herbarium No 21 - Caldera - Fraxinus Excelsior

Welcome to the Midgar Records takeover. Celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, the Berlin-based label will be taking over the 909 mix series for the duration of September with a mix running each week from a label affiliate with a full lowdown on the label to accompany the final edition.

For the third mix in this takeover, we welcome Amsterdam-based DJ and producer Tammo Hesselink who dives into dark, deep and murky waters for this moody session that is filled with crunchy and industrial soundscapes. We're completely obsessed with his productions over here at 909 with an incredible run of releases on labels such as Delsin, Midgar, Blank Mind and Nous'klaer Audio. A resident at much-loved Amsterdam spot, Garage Noord, Tammo Hesselink's productions tend to lean towards the bassier, more percussive side of techno. Always tapping into different sounds and styles, last year Tammo debuted a new band project with his friends under the name comforter2 and recently revived his Melatonin Man alias for a special live performance at Draaimolen Festival.

Untitled 909 Podcast 196: Tammo Hesselink (Midgar Records Takeover)

It's an honor to welcome Amsterdam's Loek Frey to our series, whose meticulous attention to detail and eminent experimentalism command the mind's attention like no other. The OQAD label head and Omen Wapta collaborator invites us to peer delicately beyond the edge, unveiling a hyperintense, subsonic blur through which a primordial palette begins to emerge. I've been looking forward to sharing this episode for quite some time, and to revel in this blend of artistry and precision was truly worth the wait. Thanks Loek!

Sure Thing Mix 137: Loek Frey

This contribution is a very special one, as it marks a new chapter in The Observatory’s sound… 

We will always be a home for ambient and experimental sounds. But, moving forward, we will also be exploring our love for dance music, with a particular focus on the deep end.

To begin this new journey and warm things up, we are so happy to welcome back Timnah, who gifts us with a two-hour recording of her set at Omen Wapta, ADE’24. A mind-bending traversal through ambient, drone, and halftime experiments, exploring the liminal spaces between the listening room and the dance floor.
~~
Timnah lives, works and feeds the cats in the Northwestern extremities of Switzerland. Brought up in her parents’ jazz clubs and deeply influenced by her brother’s love for dub and soundsystem culture, she started DJing just after the massively feared Millenium Bug had threatened to offset our relation to time and space. Dedicated to drawing her own map of late 20th century sonic landscapes, she spent the early 2000s exploring 90s electronics including breakbeat, triphop, ambient techno, drum&bass, house and jungle. After a short but sweet excursion into producing in the early 2010s, Timnah dedicated herself fully to spinning the wheels and transversing genres, gravitating towards her current signature sound that spans immersive sound baths and intergalactic carpet rides in half-time. Timnah is a member of Amenthia Recordings and a recent addition to the A Walking Contradiction Collective.

We’re excited to present the 69th release of the Embodiment podcast series, featuring a set from Agonis, co-founder of Amenthia Recordings. After his mesmerizing performance at one of our club nights in 2024, we’ve stayed in touch, and now we’re thrilled to share this exploration of Agonis' electronic music catalogue.

Some personal words by Agonis: 
"The mix conveys music, which I think works for listening at home. I didn't want to go for one style but rather wanted to mix things with a similar vibe which fit the current spring and sunny mood."

We invite you to tune in as it’s a set that truly speaks for itself. Enjoy the ride.
