@upsammy
Since the release of her debut EP ‘Another Place’ on Rotterdam's premiere Nous’klaer record label, upsammy has emerged as one of the most exciting contemporary electronic artists of our time. Known for her boundary-pushing vision of music and sound, upsammy’s string of releases on the likes of AD93, Die Orakel and Dekmantel have manifested into a back catalogue that give the sense and feeling of gallery of artworks. With a background in arts, it’s no surprise that upsammy works from a foundation of unbridled imagination. As is a common theme amongst many of my most admired artists, the power to present works that simultaneously champion both the weird and the functional is at the forefront of upsammy’s sound. It seems to me that the space between is where the magic happens - crystalline electronica, otherworldly ambience, hypnotic glitch and deconstructed club sounds morph to produce upsammy’s unique brand of contemporary, psychedelic idm. Her more recent and first long-player ‘Zoom’ showcases a somewhat softer side - warm crunchy textures, bouncing sub bass and at times-playful melodies are bound together with both quirky and functional rhythms. Zoom bestows upon us a beautiful and engaging collection of sounds which tell the story of both organic and digital realms. I once read a Bandcamp fan describe upsammy’s work as ‘fairytale idm’ and I couldn’t agree more. At the heart of every fairytale is a sense of magic, and everything upsammy does is just that. 

Alongside her productions, upsammy is an expert DJ who crafts brilliantly creative mixes and live sets with laser like precision - dynamic blends of experimental electronics weave between dreamy soundscapes, spacial percussion, psychedelic drum and bass and breaks - you can always expect the unexpected and this mix is no different! upsammy joined me live in the PBS studio on the 14th October 2022.

Martinou live at Draaimolen Festival 2022

For Patterns of Perception 112, we're very excited to welcome back @kondukukonduku - a truly stellar all-round talent and dear friend of our collective. 

Four whole years have passed since we last featured Konduku in our mix series. In this time, he has reached new creative heights, adding textures, shades and vibrancy to his distinctive sound - in the process finding homes for highly touted releases on the likes of @spaziodisponibile, Mantis (via @delsinrecords), @nousklaeraudio, @amenthia-recordings (with @aasudd) and most recently @djnobu_bitta's Bitta.

As a DJ, his creativity and skills are similarly vaunted, and see him regularly take the stage at key festivals, venues and events across Europe and Asia. 

Recorded live at Patterns of Perception @ OHM Berlin on Apr 21, 2023, Konduku's Patterns of Perception 112 is a showcase of his thrilling abilities behind the decks. Unpredictable yet totally engrossing, this set is a profound tale of tension and release. Tightly wound grooves and eerie psychedelia leading us unerringly to ecstasy. A fine balance of intuition, control and spirit from a visionary artist in full-flight.

Exit to Bliss: Open the blinds, and a soft, golden glow spills into the room. Inviting you to step into a new day. The Transition: from the night's dreamscape to the morning's reality is like a fleeting cirrus apparition, delicate and enchanting. With an inclination for the dreamy, allow your mind to wander, in the lobby filled with stories waiting to be told. Yet, when locked in the unknown, let the mellifluous motif take you there – to distant places, dear to your heart memories and to the infinite landscapes of your imagination: @martinou3000 premiere live performance in Berlin introducing gems from his captivating album Chiral. Thank you ever so much.

The next interpretation of Far Blue has been put together by Ben Kaczor. We have admired Ben's music for a long time now, so we're excited to be able to share his peception here. His music, a blend of atmospheric techno, vibrant house and cinematic soundscapes, inspires both introspective reflection and creative expression. His mix is a thoughtful selection of tracks that reflect his feelings when going with what feels right, instead of overthinking a process.

"This is the first mix I recorded in my new little flat, which is close to a beautiful wild garden. It's a one-take recording, which is always the magic key for me. I love to be in the moment and try not to overthink the process. thats why "no meaning, but feeling" is often important for me. You can hear some unreleased tunes by friends and records I bought recently during my travels. I found lots of good records at Yoyaku in Paris, Inverted Audio in London, Remoto Records in Hamburg and my favorite local shop, Plattphon Records in Basel."

Enjoy this one hour and ten minutes of Ben's perception of Far Blue.

A Far Blue concept by Ben Kaczor - 'No Meaning But Feeling'

A journey in an almost literal sense. Martinou provides an hour of contemporary-leaning minimal with that early 2010s sonic flavour. The Swedish native provides a masterclass in building expectations and maintaining flow through expert layering and track selection. Really entrancing. Features music from Tibi Dabo, Blue Channel, and Ovend.

Whispers of the setting Sun/
As the sun sets, we feel its warm embrace,  
Whispers of gold dance upon the waves.  
With the rhythm of the earth, we sway in this place;  
Nature's love reminds us that we are free and brave.  
We breathe deeply, allowing the good vibes to take flight,  
Underneath the painted sky, everything feels right.  
In this fleeting moment, our spirits intertwine;  
Let this magic linger as the stars begin to shine.  

Bio/
Upwellings is a Dub-Techno project created by the protean musician Vincent Raude. Cultivating a minimalist approach to techno and a strong affinity for micro-textures, he produces hypnotic music that draws its roots and techniques from Jamaican dub masters. Numerous EPs have been released on various labels since 2008. These productions have earned him the support of artists such as Alexkid, Laurent Garnier, Cio D'or, etc...and he has been working with labels Telrae ), MOSHItaka, Tiefenrausch, Spclnch, Greyscale, Dimensions Recordings for EPs that were very popular in the Dub-Techno's network. Performing exclusively live, from clubs to festivals, from Berlin to Montreal, it is on stage that Upwellings gives its whole meaning to the word "Dub."

We asked friends of Stólar: What kind of music lives inside the A.Y.O.R.  Chair by Ron Arad? 
A chair made of polished steel and lead, its form evoking a tilting question mark. 
A chair that challenges the viewer to rethink the role of design. 

Listen to ORIONs answer - our friends from Italy present a one-hour soundtrack interpreting the spirit of this magnificent piece of design.

The A.Y.O.R. Chair  ||| Soundtrack by ORION

Amsterdam’s Ratherlost crew has spent the past few years perfecting the art of the marathon rave. Their home base is Lofi, a cavernous warehouse where sound, light, and visuals fuse into long-haul journeys that stretch well past the 18-hour mark. But epic runtimes mean nothing without the right hands at the controls, and Ratherlost has proven it knows how to curate, pace, and execute like pros.

Lofi’s two-floor setup allows for shifting moods: daylight hours wander through deep, dubby techno, slowly morphing into faster, syncopated rhythms as night tightens its grip. Pacing is everything in a space like this. And when it comes to the craft of pacing, few do it better than Bas Dobbelaer.

Bas is one of our favorite DJs for a reason. He understands that a warm-up set is an architecture rather than just background noise. It shapes the room, sets the tone, and welcomes dancers into the story. The mix we’re thrilled to share today was recorded live at Ratherlost’s Easter Sunday session at Lofi, where Bas shared the bill with artists like Aaron J, Na Nich & Vera Logdanidi, Aurora Halal, DVS1, upsammy, Occa, Agonis, Dasha Rush, Seb H, and Oscar Mulero. Quite the roster.

In the face of that stacked lineup, Bas delivered a masterclass in restraint and elegance. His three-hour set unfolds like a novel, tracing dub techno’s DNA across the past two decades. The vibe is timeless, spacious, and beautifully measured, a perfect example of how to warm up a warehouse without blowing the doors off too soon.
This is precisely the kind of DJing we live for: subtle yet commanding, hypnotic yet full of life. Clear your next 180 minutes. Plug in. And get a little Ratherlost yourself.

Delayed x Ratherlost: Bas Dobbelaer

Nothing feels like before.

Not because everything has changed, but because you have.
Somewhere between now and then, something softened.

Time stretched, shadows lengthened, and the pulse beneath it all slowed — just enough for you to notice.

You don’t need to know where you’re going anymore.
It’s enough to drift, to dissolve, to listen.

Swiss producer Ben Kaczor and Swedish producer Martinou have been tracing parallel lines across the deeper shades of house and techno for over a decade. What began as a connection through SoundCloud has since bloomed into an understated, sonic kinship — now embodied in their joint alias: Terik Hensen.

With Nothing Feels Like Before, the 31st edition in the Discos Movimiento mix series, the duo opens a portal into something restrained yet expansive. A meditative flow of dub-inflected grooves and minimal percussion that moves like breath — steady, intimate, and full of space.

It’s not a beginning or an end.
Just a moment. A shift. A subtle unfolding.
And maybe that’s enough.

Tarik Hensen - Nothing Feels Like Before / Mixtape Discos Movimiento #31

For this episode of our Komorebi Podcast Series, we welcome Swiss DJ, producer, and curator Ben Kaczor, an artist whose sonic language speaks directly to emotion. With a sound that fluidly bridges the introspective and the physical, Kaczor weaves together elements of techno, deep house, and dub techno into minimal yet immersive soundscapes. His sets evoke monochrome atmospheres, subtle melancholy, and deep inner resonance, crafted for spaces of both solitude and connection.

A recent addition to Dial Records and co-founder of St. Odes, his creative path is rooted in a multidimensional approach to sound and art. Whether curating, producing, or performing, Kaczor remains anchored in a clear vision: music to be felt, not deconstructed.

Tune in and dissolve into this timeless sonic journey.

🫧At the center of this journey stands @eterna_l https://on.soundcloud.com/eterna_l — founder of Transition and an intuitive selector whose practice resides at the intersection of sonic nuance and emotional depth. After over two decades behind the decks, his sets unfold as layered panoramas of atmospheric house, ethereal synths, and hypnotic rhythms, inviting listeners into a state of suspended time.

Since 2016, Transition has offered an alternative to the fast-paced club experience — a veiled world for deep listening, tonal subtlety, and dreamlike immersion. Here, texture outweighs climax, and progression moves beyond immediacy🫧

In his ongoing explorations while closing last Transition: in front of an adored crowd at the about blank garden after Dj Dustin, Orion and Alex Albrecht, eternal_l continued to guide us — into memory, motion, and pure elation 🪸

14th Transition: eterna_l

RA.1000 launches with Theo Parrish, live at fabric: a vanishingly rare club mix from the king of deep crates and impossible transitions.

There are DJ sets and then there are Theo sets. No matter how many times you've caught him in action, every time still feels like the first. Running hot, levels smoking, isolator working over time. You think you know dance music? Think again.

Parrish's debut on the RA Podcast is a milestone for the series, one we've sought for over 15 years. So it was only right that Theo led off our 1000th celebrations. Recorded live at fabric last December as part of RA's party with the London club for their 25th anniversary, this three-hour segment documents the crescendo of his eight-hour marathon. 

The Detroit legend doesn't release mixes often, and when he does, they're usually studio recordings: think NTS shows, his 100% Detroit edition of DJ-Kicks or classic tapes Body (1997) and Methods of Movement (2000). A capture of the Sound Signature boss on the dancefloor is hard to come by.

Sure, there's galvanising build-ups and crowd-pleasers, but laced throughout a Parrish beatdown are rarities designed to shock the system. In a business dominated by marketing, the vinyl master towers above thanks to a relentless hunger for lustrous melodies, moods and textures of all stripes, which he and he alone can fold into an inspiring and exhilarating joyride.

On RA.1000, blissful reggae precedes new wave disco; '80s R&B morphs into synthy techno; bleepy Chicago jack makes way for a poignant vocal ballad. It's Theo through and through. Once again, he proves that anything and everything is possible with the right records.

This is 2 hour mix I recently did for a radio show hosted by the homies at Lips & Rhythm in San Francisco. The first hour is mostly spacey ambient, dub, and atmospheric, cosmic noodling. From there it moves into some deep, groovy house cuts. Suggestion for listening: cannabis and a hot bath.
