@octalindustries is the solo project of Jónas Thor Gudmundsson. The project was originally founded in 2003 by Jonas and Mike Sickinger, the founder of the Octal label. The debut release of their collaboration was the Automatik EP on the Transistor Rhythm output. Couple of years later they joined their friend Deep Chord for a shared 12“ release, which today is a quite a valuable gem for dub techno lovers. The three of them joined hands together later that year to create a 3x12“ release undir the pseudonym Spectral Network. The release was quite limited (111 copies) and was considered one of the most interesting 12“ releases that year by many critics. 
After the release of the Spectral Network eps the duo went for hiatus as other projects took over, also as opportunity for musical collaborations became harder as the Atlantic Ocean divides them. Jonas continued working on other projects as @ruxpin – producing numerous releases along the way. 
In 2011 the duo was asked by the French independent label @entropy-records to do some releases. As Michael was unable to participate, Jonas went on solo and worked on a full-length release, which later became Meeting of the Waves LP. Another remix followed for G.R.I.T. which was hailed by dubtechnoblog.com as the best remix of the year 2012.   
In more recent years, Octal Industries has been working on numerous collaborations with artists such as fellow Icelander @ohm-599575574 - and fruits of their work has been released on labels such as @thule-records, Rawax, @luckofaccess, @allinnrecords and many more. 
Octal Industries also released works independently in 2019 an EP entitled Julia Sets on @kontaktrecordscph, which featured a remix from the Detroit legend @mikehuckaby – and his second full-length album Our Seasons, which was released on Vertex in December 2019. 
Octal Industries, although being Icelandic in origin, works and resides in Tallinn, Estonia.

@aerogarcia lives in Budapest, Hungary. He has been interested in music since he was a child, and he played several instruments.

He started writing his own music in 2010 and currently he is working mainly as a DJ. In 2013, he and his friend founded the @euphonicmoments series of events, and with the same name, they also started a show on Radio Tilos (@ectilos). 

For this episode, he provides us a superb selection of deep house and dub techno, tinted with groovy aesthetics and with a very strong laminar flow.

Green algae are the most diverse of the algal groups, with at least 7000 species. Most of them are autotrophic and being such a type of organism, algae can carry out photosynthesis, just like the terrestrial plants. They contain chlorophyll, but do not possess true stem, roots, and leaves - the structures that characterize land plants.  As a rich source of proteins, vitamins and minerals, green algae have some well-known smoothing and hydrating benefits to human skin. They offer anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties and can protect against cell damage, in addition to an excellent smoothing effect.

Still, proliferation of green algae have increased in many places in Europe and north-American lakes - mainly due to the advent of industrial fertilizers and rapid urban growth - and is becoming an increasing issue, both for species living in the same environment and for humans. 
Indeed, when green algae multiply to high numbers, toxins may be produced causing mental health problems for people, domestic animals and stock that come into contact with the algae. Some collaborations are starting to happen between freshwater scientists and farmers to tackle the issue and strike a balance between maximizing crop yields and minimizing excess fertilizer application.

The deep, immersive echo chamber that sits at the centre of DeepChord’s signature work with Echospace may appear inspired by the genre-defining work of first-wave dub-technoists that appeared on the Chain Reaction label in the mid to late 90s. But it’s also work that’s quintessentially building upon the Detroit scene where it was born, and that divine marriage of roots and vision makes the work of Rod Modell and Steve Hitchell at once so highly considered, so timeless, and so pertinent. The distinguishing feature of the duo’s sound is its ability and willingness to stand still; whereas much of dub techno attempts to propel the listener forward in either a lover’s rock groove or the cushioned reverb of a driving beat, DeepChord’s synth-driven analog warmth trades not only in static ambience but also propulsive design. Their set at Métropolis in 2011 was nothing short of enveloping and transcendent.
