Everyone at some point in their existence experiences a critical moment in their busy life where big decisions can lead to big change, both at work and in life. A turning point that make your life never be the same again. A new you, a new us.

David is a die-hard record collector who has been playing them around the North of Spain and Europe for more than 15 years now. Since three years ago he's more focused on Escala de Grisos, his monthly radio show on a local station, where he plays and discuss about ambient, techno and anything in between as well as making some interviews.

David has recorded the following mix with that feeling of knowing that something huge is about to change in his life, just like what happened at .apart in a way. Hence the name translated into Catalan :)

A magnificent true personal musical journey where he captures with great sense and extreme delicacy a long list of antonyms such as fear-hope, uncertainty-desire…

To sum up overall, David shares the following poem:

"... The rocks crash, the puddles splash, the mirrow ripples, the calmness returns, so are the turning points of life that disrupt our world to only steer us onto a path more right than the one before, let the wind blow as it may, for it's only wish is to whisk you away to a destination where your heart will find a true home, a place where the doubts and confusion have no life supply, for when the turn is complete, a soul once lost, will be found, only to realize it was all part of the journey, and around the corner there is so much more to see ...

.CHPTR043 'Turning points' | D. Humo

As if it were a migratory journey, we move away voluntarily or forced, unfortunately some, from a cold and normally noisy city full of hectic lives and people with a thirst for power. A walk towards nature/forest where human voices cease to exist to transform into animal sounds causing a feeling of refuge and closeness. We leave behind a world of concrete and welcome the sounds of mother earth.

Milan native Matteo, a clearly devotee of nature, investigates sound with high enthusiansm and dedication. He wonderfully creates a mellow amalgam of layers using over-reverberated synths, field recordings, and self-created samples. Atoloi is constantly searching for another dephts in which the listener can get lost while getting submerged by heavy-grained noises and evocative instrumental compositions.

Matteo has left us the following text: “I tried to represent this slow march in a real and, at the same time, emotional forest, in which memories and the outer cosmos merge into a unique and cathartic experience.

A pleasant stroll through the forests of Ego. “A universe born from the perfect union between the external environment and the inmost emotional unconscious”.

.CHPTR044 ‘Due passi tra le foreste dell'Io’ | Atoloi

it's with broken sonorities that Atoloi unveils this 7th podcast. An ambient opening followed by pulsating rhythms and tribal drum and bass to wrap up.

"As a devotee of nature, I explore sounds creating a mellow amalgam of layers using over-reverberated synths, field recordings, and self-created samples. Not choosing the club-oriented way as a first calling, instead, my productions search for other depths, in which the listener can get lost while getting submerged by heavy-grained noises and evocative instrumental compositions."

nunsen·tape 7 - Atoloi

"A masterclass in the mastery of speed and progression. A colourful, nuanced collage of abstract yet meaningful touch points. Tribal rhythms and alien melodies moving over a fine line of techno. Precise and perfect execution in a short amount of time. Definitely a masterclass."

"Saebius (@saebiusmusic), the mysterious Marseille based young talent draws on a wide range of stylistic influences from Radiohead to Monolake. It led him to produce his own ambient and techno sound based on atmospheres and rhythms.  After 6 years experimenting sound design he finally released his first promising EP in 2017 on Lowless called Water Memories. He received good support from the scene. It was the occasion to share for the first time his singular hypnotic and melancholic signature. His second appearance on the label as remixer in the Four Sides of Orithyia released in November 2018. This offered him more visibility and support from actors like the respected Monument media. It naturally drove him into some other projects in 2019/2020 with an EP release on Ritualism (@ritualism-records) and  his Lifeform LP on Agos Universe (@agardenofsound). In 2022 Saebius released "Lurk in The Water" for the famous compilation "Rhizome" on Lowless (@lowless-music) and a new album is already scheduled on this same label in 2023".

#82-TINA

"We continue with a new member of the wonderful Valencian underground clan, defined by the search for hypnotic, slow and intoxicating sounds. A precious and atmospheric journey. A grey sky covered in clouds is also beautiful."

Zolá García aka CHR0M10 (@chr0m10) is a Mexican dj based in Valencia, Spain, since 2008. His love for music has made him sail on various projects, one of them is this; CHR0M10, his deep/organic-techno alias, is the representation of the Deep n' darkness part of him. With this mixed selection, he wants you to feel as he feels it when he did It; like you were entering into the darkest place in his soul. With this hypnotic all waxed podcast he opens the door to his obscure room in the House of Colors.
