"Close your eyes and let yourself be carried away by this captivating tale of intrigue. Field recordings interwoven with minimalist ambiances and silences. Textures that disturb and create meticulously crafted inflection points. A masterpiece of abstraction and balance, introspection and perception. An exercise in deep listening and auditory training. A sensory honeycomb."

Richard Chartier (@richard-chartier) is a Los Angeles based artist, considered one of the key figures in minimalist sound art. Chartier’s works explore the inter-relationships between the spatial nature of sound, silence, focus, perception, and the act of listening itself. Chartier's sound works/installations have been presented in galleries and museums internationally and he has performed his work live across Europe, Japan, Australia, and North America at digital art/electronic music festivals and exhibits.

------ about 200

After a few years, we are celebrating—reaching 200, who would have thought! It all started as a happy idea talking with friends from Hausofcolor. "Could we upload the djsets from the parties?" we wondered. And what if we talk to friends from Barcelona to express themselves through music?

Then, with the pandemic, the purpose evolved: to share completely heterogeneous music every week. I aimed to create different dynamics with various lights and concepts. Over time, the channel has been defined in a more specific direction, where the subjective taste has dynamically and tendentially shaped the content. The music featured now can be broadly understood in two main abstract (and very holistic, it must be said) themes. Every week is a surprise. On the other hand, the audience can get a sense of the direction things are heading. There are these two main blocks: one of deep listening, ambient, avant-garde and concrete, minimalism and/or experimental, drone, or more eclectic pieces dedicated to the collector/selector. And another more dedicated to deep beats, at different speeds and rhythms but generally quite horizontal in nature.

I remember dedicating the 100th episode to my fav festival, La Mostra, F-on did a beat djset associated with the sounds you would find in its first edition. For this 200th episode, where La Mostra has now celebrated its third edition, the maestro Richard Chartier has prepared this delight of deep listening without beats. A bit of a summary of the two contexts you can find, broadly speaking, on HOC radio.

A million thanks to all the artists who have shared a story with us every week, and thanks to all of you who follow this channel! Without all of you, nothing would be possible!

I also want to thank: hausofcolor, without whom this would not have started. Additionally, we thank the collectives, festivals, labels, clubs and friends who help or have helped me, like Toni, Jordi, Sara, Anne and, as always, Bualié for the designs. Thanks to all of you!

HOCast #200 - Richard Chartier

"In the shadows where the full moon whispers and illuminates us – Selene, we are called to dive deeper. This set is not a sound, but a journey – a continuum of moments blending into one another. Each beat an echo, each pause a space between worlds. Here, time bends, and we find ourselves lost in its rhythm, suspended between dusk and dawn."

DOC (@doc_sounds) landed, some years ago, in a musical planet inhabited by all things deep. DOC has a genre agnostic approach to his music selection. If it is psychedelic, ritualistic and hypnotic, it fits. He picks from techno, ambient, breaks, house, dub and downtempo to create a trip of his own, aiming at providing both a body and mind experience.

His monthly podcast, Selene Series (@seleneseries), has taken DOC to Operator Radio or K- Studio in the Netherlands. He also has collaborated with other renowned podcast series like Codecast or Anodynic frequencies. With Selene Series, DOC explores the different shapes that deep and psychedelic electronic music can take. Selene Series is а podcast that has been running for over 3 years and is released each full moon. Lastly, with The Continuum, his Selene Series channel opened the doors for international guests to share their sounds on the platform.

We are incredibly proud to present this new journey in our Podcast Series recorded by one of our favourite artists, the Barcelona-based DJ and producer Savlador Coromina aka ABSIS 💫

ABSIS needs little introduction for anyone closely following the Spanish deep electronic music scene. Salva is a multi-faceted artists with a consistently impeccable output crisscrossing through genres including drone ambient, hypnotic techno, progressive downbeat and intricate atmospheric half-time. For his most recent release, he returned to the local Hivern Discs and has previously put out music via Oslated, Affin, Secuecias Temporales, Crescent London and the HOC Radio affiliated red edge (a label we recommend checking out if you’re not yet familiar) ✨

Nearly two and a half hours long, this recording showcases Salva’s deep sensibility to commanding energy within a mix, holding it back and releasing as he plays with tension and truly tests the frontiers between ambient and dance music. It is a testament to how reframing genres and introducing them in different contexts can completely alter the way in which we perceive them and how a well researched and carefully executed mix can transcend any preconceived ideas about these. This approach is harmoniously aligned with our vision and we couldn’t be more excited for you to embark on this incredible sonic adventure. Buckle up for the ride! 🌀

Cache 011 is an exploration into deep, psychedelic, and hypnotic techno, interwoven with ambient and IDM soundscapes. It draws energy and inspiration from this year's Monument festival, nestled in the Norwegian woods, and channels the interplay between the fast & the slow, the light & the dark, in sounds that I've been loving 🌲🛖☀️

Gear: CDJ-2000nxs2, CDJ-2000nexus, Xone:96, Eventide Timefactor.
Recorded with a Tascam DR-40X.

When I received the proposal to participate in the 5th edition of Temple, during the after-hours slot called Baptistery, I immediately knew I had the opportunity to do something completely different from what I'm used to. So, without thinking too much, I dove into my most personal records, trying to select tracks that have influenced me over the years.

You don’t always get the chance to showcase a more intimate side during a dance set, so I’m incredibly grateful to Josephine and Camu for the opportunity to put the finishing touch on such a special day as we experienced at Temple Chapter #5. And, of course, many thanks to the brave souls who stayed until the very end. XO

Claudio PRC ■ HAPËSIRA Podcast II

@sedefadasi is one of ours and we can't be prouder to introduce her to the soil where her origin is from. She is the new perspective and rising talent coming from the German dance music scene, being Resident DJ at Munich’s famed @blitzclub and curator of HAMAM nights. In her sessions she bounces in between euphoric Techno, ruff House classics, space Disco and tough electro with elegance and ease. Playing at Berghains finest Panorama Bar or Frankfurts Robert Johnson, she is doubtless one of the scene's most promising new artists.

In the very last days of the year 2020, we are bringing a mix by Garçon. A co-founder of Amenthia Recordings and a Basel Elysia club’s resident, who is notoriously known for his extended performances on the most sought-after techno festivals such as Parallel or Organik (to be found on @garcon profile), in which he shows not only his wide record collection, but most of all an elaborate web of synapses between them. 

Although this home-recorded DJ set is ‘only’ one hour long and doesn’t allow to go as deep as in the previously mentioned mixes, somehow it reflects and summarizes this year’s hard period of many of us being locked-down in one place and mentally imprisoned. 

Stay updated till the end of the year, you will hear from us with our traditional annual chart of 2020 picks. Be safe until then.
