Fully wrapped up in those brilliant soundscapes from the very beginning and going in crescendo as we move forward with rigorous transitions. An accurate and detailed slow build up until you start smelling ‘the club’ or better said ‘the badly missing club perfume/aroma’ and consequently, seeing the jerky and bouncy silhouettes dancing in the strobes. Dancers appearing dark against a temporary visual imprint caused by a brief exposure to high-intensity light levels and a constant surge of pleasant sound waves. 

Brussels Adhémar is a multi-disciplinary artist, establishing his universe through music and visual works. Constantly in search of the luminous quality of sounds, in a world made of shadows and light, his music is closely linked to his plastic work. This obsession with shadows leads him to think and create spaces, atmospheres that focus on the lightness and poetry of light.  

He is also currently working on a new side project with Olorun (IDO Records) as a duo called Aucuba Replica to showcase sounds that can combine organic and artificial elements and experimental sides of Techno music.

His work has appeared on labels such as @lett-records, @kvlto-records, @oslated, @aardenrecords, @huinalidub and @secuencias_temporales

The Revolving bridge was a portable bridge concept designed by Leonardo Da Vinci intended for military use. The main objective was to facilitate mobility helping armies to navigate unfamiliar terrain with less difficulty, and more easily escape from pursuing forces. A concept that seen from their current musical point of view has a lot to do with it.

“The idea starts from building a bridge between this current abnormality and the return to real life on a sea of ​​sound waves, creating a journey of peaks and valleys around electronics with a horizontal vocation, sound textures and contemporary chamber music”.

a_mal_gam_a took shape, back in 2016, when Diskoan (Juan Peralta) and Josephine's Soundscapes (José Salas) joined forces to create a research platform to explore electronic music beyond conventional parameters.

In this DJ-set they bring the dynamics of their sessions at "Avalovara, club de escucha", a pioneering monthly listening club in Madrid, where the most unusual music and visuals induce the attendees to a special state that encourages active listening and sensory experience mixed with (less conventional) ludic enjoyment.

In April 2021, a_mal_gam_a has curated the program for En Pausa, a festival  dedicated to horizontal music and deep listening.

The session was recorded in the @radio-relativa studios in Madrid.

“For this podcast I would like to purpose some heterogeneity of electronic music I love, make me dance, smile and cry on it” - says Nicolas. 

Thorm is an electronic music french producer based in Paris starting back in 2014. Influenced by all the things life has to offer, his musical range can go from peaceful ambient and experimental sounds to Lo-Fi and dusky techno. Nicolas works a lot on the texture of the sound and on ambiences, drawing inspiration from movies soundtracks as well as modern and contemporary arts. 

“I hope this podcast composed in the 8 floor of my suburb Parisian flat give to you happiness and power” - Nicolas concludes.

.CHPTR027 'Together we can touch the sun' | thorm

The set is inspired around the central theme of the album Ipnopedion made by Timo van Luijk & Frederik Croene. An album superbly built from the hypnosis session that Pier Fortunato Zanfretta agreed to undergo in order to find meaning after he had been abducted by a UFO. A sonic invitation that extracts how it feels to be taken by extraterrestrial forces.

Compulsive buyer of electronic listening vinyls based in Madrid, Javier Camuñas says: “I like how these types of semi-nightmare dreamlike passages remain in the central parts of the sets, with moments of tension-relaxation, drone, dark-jazz…”

Words that are perfectly reflected in all his neatness and healing mixes, offering us what his precious shelves hide.

.CHPTR028 'Flying saucers in Torriglia' | Camu

Human beings are social beings by nature. We live in community and interactions are an obligation for survival. They enrich and favor our personal development, being a critically important component for health and longevity. 

‘With You’ is an ode to human interactions, a theme of special relevance in the times we are living. The things we do together, the space between us, the silence, the words, the lack of words, the consequences. 

Oisatsana is the new project from experimental Spanish musician Tasio Rey. After having some experience in techno production under the name 'How to levitate', Oisatsana is a new identity that looks for a sound free of boundaries, approaching styles like glitch, drone, ambient, generative music and anything in between.

Tasio adds: “The following set is a mix of various styles and it is a good summary of the things that I am listening to the most lately and that inspire me to do music like Oisatsana”. 

Certainly, a very unique sound and extremely compact trip ‘with you’.

“This is one of poetry terms, that means a pause used for effect within a line of poetry”- Masaya says. In music, a caesura denotes a brief silent pause. But, how long is the silence? As such the silence is as short or long as the conductor deems necessary.

Lots of beautiful brief silent pauses among outstanding instrumental melodic pieces, subtle and classy percussions, the crack and hiss of inviting noisy sounds, delicate rough textures, gentle ambient drones, charming voices,…managing to create a situation of tension-relaxation very intriguing and fascinating. 

Masaya Kato is a Japanese composer and sound artist based in Yokohama. Influenced much by poetry, video or performing arts and based on perception and cutaneous senses in daily life. Typically his compositions are born out of Fender Rhodes or Piano sketches along with additional sounds of magnetic noises.

We definitely like the idea of a caesura  between music narratives, a space which listeners can fill in with their own speculative history.

Soundcloud: @steffi_official @dolly-records

An artist in the purest sense, Berlin-based Steffi has previously said she wants to be remembered for her work and nothing else. Monitoring her career closely herself, it's easy to see how her consistent growth as a producer and DJ is motivated by keeping her integrity as an artist. With three albums on Ostgut Ton now, her recent World Of The Waking State LP saw her deliver an album more experimental than previous efforts, yet one produced at a time feeling settled more comfortably in her own skin. Seeking new and exciting outlets to express her projects her own labels Klakson and Dolly have been a continual source of new music. She's released a culmination of 70 records from an abundance of friends and new producers, as well as her own, over four different labels and sub-labels. We caught up with Steffi to discuss Klakson and Dolly, her productions with fellow Ostgut Ton artist Virginia, as well as finding the balance between studio and tour time. With not a single four-by-four kick drum in sight, her Truancy Volume is an arc back to her long-time affinity with early Warp and IDM records. Steffi has mentioned in the past how much of an influence the first Autechre album had on her, so it's no surprise their music finds a home in this mix.

No need for introduction when it comes to https://soundcloud.com/naturalelectronicsystem Originally from Naples, the duo has been playing in the most reputed festivals and clubs worldwide from Labyrinth to Paral-lel Festival, providing always acclaimed productions with a big respect of a large fan base.  On this fourth instalment of my residency, I’m hosting half of the duo, friend Valerio Gomez de Ayala for a journey into some of his favorite ambient records, he doesn’t use to play in clubs. I’m on the first hour, Valerio the second.

Back at the end of the ’90s, Valerio started to collect techno, IDM, ambient, experimental, house and electronic music records from all over the world. In the early ’00, he had the opportunity to work in a local club in the Vesuvian area where he had to play very Mainstream music, but training also himself in the meantime hours before the party or when the club was closed by recording tapes with music he liked. Following this very first experience, he finally had the opportunity to buy his own turntables and improved his technic. 
Then, in 2004 , he started with his high school friend and musical soulmate, Antonio Giova , the natural/electronic.system. project in order to express their personal idea of sound. 

Next for duo, Mediterranea EP on Tikita which will hit the stores this month. They are also preparing an upcoming EP on Delsin, one of their all time favorite labels and are working on lot of music right now.

Campfire Stories 84 (We don't stop birds from crossing the sky) by Adhémar (@adhemarmusic)

~ About The Story ~
 
As above
I
Glide towards uncertain lands

So below
Flames like feathers
My vision descends

Slowly, I take time -
Time takes me to the mountains
I sit at the top, legs crossed

A recurring dream of elevation.

A bird a bird a bird
The sky the sky the sky

A dream is a dream is a dream.
