-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

AI-28 arrives as a double-12” reissue of an album titled “Lucid Dreams”. Formerly released in 1996 as a CD on the now defunct UK imprint em:t, the album now becomes available for the first time on vinyl. Produced collaboratively by Chris Allen, David Thompson (both co-founders of em:t), plus label affiliates Tom Smyth and Will Joss, the record features outlier academic and philosopher Celia Green narrating passages of her classic book “Lucid Dreams” (published in 1968), seamlessly embellished with atmospheric soundscapes throughout.

Brooding amorphously on the cusp of the unknown, the music captures the quintessentially mysterious quality of dreams and dreaming. Layer by layer, the listener is submerged deep into the subconscious stream. The record curls and unwinds with bewildering influence whilst exploring key themes of Green’s studies, with topics covering hallucinatory states, apparitions, out of body experiences, and extrasensory perception. The collaborative handling of samples and sound material comes together powerfully to create a piece that is both artistically theatrical in flavour and sumptuously immersive – a true documentary for the ears and imagination.

Pre-order

Lucidity

Today's mix in our 'delayed x mostra' collaboration is a live recording from one of our ultimate favorites, Estrato Aurora, who joined forces with flamenco artist Ana Sola to create quite a unique symbiosis. 
The live performance of Estrato Aurora and Ana Sola at the extraMostra party in Barcelona was a stunning display of the seamless fusion of two seemingly distinct genres. As the deep techno beats unfolded, Ana Sola's soulful voice cut through the electronic soundscape with raw power and emotion. The duo's ability to bridge the gap between electronic music and traditional flamenco is impressive.
The combination of Estrato Aurora's deep techno production and Sola's passionate flamenco singing created a unique experience, showcasing the power of music to transcend genre and cultural boundaries. 

The crew behind MOSTRA has held 23 ExtraMostra events in venues and clubs of all sizes in Barcelona, as well as public facilities and other cities in Spain, such as Madrid, Valencia, and Seville. We have been abroad to London, Berlin, Porto, and Amsterdam.

- Why? Because MOSTRA wants to: 

1) To program local artists that sometimes have a hard time getting into the circuit of commercial venues and big festivals 
2) To collaborate with labels and collectives with which we feel identified or have a similar style to ours 
3) To bring artists that we really like from abroad and that usually don't come to Barcelona 
4) To bring artists from Barcelona to play abroad, Massa or Imox, for example.

For our latest Podcast chapter, we are proud to welcome one of Czech Republic’s music scene’s most idiosyncratic personas ~ the producer, DJ and promoter ~ Dominik Knap aka Kletis 🌝

Hailing from the north-most part of the country, an area where breathtaking, dramatic nature and the remnants of industrial activity co-exist in harmony, Dominik’s music channels the deep and the melancholic and crosses boundaries between techno, ambient, drone and halftime drum & bass, coloured with influences from early dubstep and sometimes UK garage. He runs his own imprint DOLEC where he releases his own music alongside a select roster of Czech and international artists. His productions have also notably landed on the French label Accents Records and Secuencias Temporales out of Mexico. Apart from making and playing music, Kletis is a zealous event promoter, co-running a local event series Multiversum and the well-respected annual Shotgun Festival ⛰️🐾

Dominik recorded a mesmerising hybrid set for our Podcast Series, just shy of an hour, for you to dive deep into. A heady meddle of original productions, transfigured samples and found music gems, it oscillates between stillness and movement. In this journey, the drone-drenched soundscapes are the common denominator and the soil in which the percussive and tonal ideas germinate and where they grow from into their final forms. A perfect remedy for those long Autumn evenings lit by candle lights 🕯️✨
