"Focus Shifting" by Tilman Zitzmann : http://www.geometrydaily.com

The ideology of hypnotic techno was these swirling, trance-like arrangements and steady evolutions and peaks of every track, but most importantly a sense of time dilation was the ultimate goal. Sucking people into a vortex of sound, historically these cuts were all pushing into the eight-minute realm and were meant to be layered in long, delicate sections. There’s a massive crossover in sound palettes to this and the Undulate mix, just in a 4/4 structure, though the entire style became a predictable mess over overused formant filters and an overindulgence of the VST Omnisphere. At times driving, at others calming, yet never letting up from a focus of sucking you in, mix three of “The Arsonist & The Architect” is about Dyschronometria or “distorted perception of time.”

"Balance" by Tilman Zitzmann : http://www.geometrydaily.com

Taking a step back is a prerequisite to making sure your longevity in this scene remains sturdy and grounded. Everyone should push pause once and a while, relaxing their ears and minds before returning to the crucible. I’m no stranger to ambient musings, and this last year and a half I’ve spent countless hours listening to calming music, but for this, I felt a more appropriate applique would be the descriptor of side-rooms of yesteryear. Brooding, pensive, at times rhythmic, and best enjoyed with headphones, number four in “The Arsonists & The Architect” is all about the chillout room.

"Smaug" by Tilman Zitzmann : www.geometrydaily.com

While not a category I’ve really seen anyone else apply to this sound, for me, it’s the first word that comes to my mind when I hear these uneven, pulsating, off-kilter complexities that this entire mix is comprised of. There’s confusing time signatures, wonky percussion, entrancing pads and synths, and a rhythm structure that sometimes breaks itself before it comes back together. To say this mix was a challenge to construct is an understatement, but I’m exceptionally pleased with the result. Succumb to a tidal wave of rhythmic hypnosis with mix one of “The Arsonist & The Architect” - Undulate.

"Allignment" by Tilman Zitzmann : www.geometrydaily.com

The moments before the sun drops below the horizon are unique. A sense of mystery and of the supernatural descend upon the surroundings and you can’t help but notice the electricity in the ether. Such transitional moments in an open-air party environment are pristine opportunities to turn the revelry into a bacchanal. Envisioning the fog rolling in as the sun disappears while playing for an audience clearly open for a journey, this mix begins as daytime party vibes but becomes a tribal warehouse by the close, edition two of “The Arsonist & The Architect” lets night fall - Vespertine.

"A Moon Year" by Tilman Zitzmann : http://www.geometrydaily.com

Detroit means a lot to the techno world. At a point in time, it launched an entirely new genre. As a place, it birthed an entirely new cultural phenomenon. But as a genre, it has a unique and highly discernable sound that has touched every corner of the planet, giving an immeasurable amount of producers inspiration to their creativity and a formula they’ve looked to emulate. Mix five for “The Arsonist & The Architect” spins the concept on its head slightly - this entire mix is dedicated to the place I grew up in and that helped me cut my teeth as a DJ. I’ve constructed the session without a single Detroit artist - only those that are from abroad and were inspired by the sound this city gave to the world. “Influence” is about what Detroit did to techno on a global scale.

"We Come In Peace" by Tilman Zitzmann : www.geometrydaily.com

An infectious groove is one of the most important elements to everything I purchase and play. Closed eyes, a swaying motion in the hips, a looseness of the shoulders, and a polyrhythmic shuffle to the feet - these are the signs that the audience has checked themselves out of the present and gone to nirvana. It would be a lie to say that I don’t gravitate towards the trance elements, the shuffling drums, and the structured basslines - 20yrs of my recordings that have been floating around the internet would prove that to be a paramount character of everything I present to the audience. So with this mix, I wanted to encapsulate all the wiggling and swerving that I encourage my crowd to have with this upbeat, tripping, energetic mix of vibes I’ve amassed over time. Time to get twisty with episode six of “The Arsonist & The Architect,” appropriately titled “Chicane.”

F-on (@f-ondj) presents MOSTRA Barcelona Festival full line-up.

This is an exclusive vinyl-only session with music from some of the artists from Mostra Barcelona Festival (@mostrabcn). The mix showcases the different styles you'll find at the festival, with a flowing coherence to the sound. It starts with ambient and electronica and continues into a hypnotic, gliding deeper techno sound. The two ABSIS tracks serve as a bridge between styles. The session concludes with broken rhythms of sinuous bass and Lynchian atmospheres. In this special mix, you'll find some of our favourite tracks from the last few years - classics already in the Mostra festival record bag.

Mostra is a brand new small-format festival of avant-garde and experimental electronic music, taking place 11-17 April in open air venues in Barcelona. Mostra is local, inclusive and sustainable: it proposes an alternative experience, providing visibility to artists not often seen in the main venues, and offering a counterpoint to the city's macro-festivals and commercial events. Mostra offers a new way of listening to and enjoying the most forward-thinking electronic music. It's a festival to make a scene. Enjoy and join #MostraBCN this Easter in Barcelona: www.mostra.barcelona

Simone Bauer is a DJ from Milan. For the occasion, he performed live exclusively for the festival.
_A few memories from Simone Bauer about our festival La Vallée Électrique 2022:

"The warmth of the sun on my skin, the sound of music that blends with the sound of the surrounding environment, the surrounding smiles.

I had the pleasure of playing at this beautiful festival, located in a valley with a stream running through it and surrounded by trees.

Three days of complete immersion in nature and music, where I played live for the first time with this musical project, for me, it was a great emotion to propose my music live in this way, it is certainly a moment that I will always remember with joy.

For me, it was also the opportunity to meet many artists and friends for the first time after years of contacts only via internet and to meet many new ones.

I can't wait to come back for the next edition, but this time to dance."

As previous years we're celebrating the Winter Solstice with a mix. And this time it's personal. 

We travel back in time to the year of 2017 and in the aftermath of making a festival in the forests of Sweden. A friend in the crew played these incredibly well-crafted mixtapes on Soundcloud which ended up on ones hard drive to be played over and over in the years to come. Some time later this dj showed up on the Campfire Stories by Silent Season and once again we were in awe of the mood and setting created. When we finally set up our own podcast of Navigare Audio in 2020 and scouted for artists willing to contribute it was inevitable to contact the author of all these amazing musical stories played and little did we know what this would bring. 

So what could be more proper to have Vincent Campfens aka Vinsen to be the first of to re-appear with a chapter on our podcast 28 episodes later. We're grateful for the music and the friendship, connection and love that has come with it. 

"This is a personal mix for a year I want to both remember and forget. In the end, all we have is each others love, friendship and memories. Try not to come and go empty-handed."

A self-described "record digging psychopath," Eric Cloutier’s standards are representative of the pre-social media craze and arguably the old adage of letting music speak for itself. Cloutier’s twenty-plus year commitment has been built upon his integrity as a DJ and authority as a selector. His reputation as an unequivocal, dexterous force is increasingly becoming one of note. He’s a DJ for whom quality - above all else - is the watchword.
