Best Of Mixes

Alfonso peacefully weaving dubby, minimal and hazy rhythms.

"This mix contains several of my current favorite minimal and techno records and also several classic gems of the genre.

For personal reasons, it was recorded at night, with the volume low on the speakers, which complicated the process a bit. It's not my most technically perfect session, but, on the other hand, the situation forced me to make a kind of blend and speech without stridency and this has built a very interesting sleepy atmosphere.

It's the music I could play nowadays at an after hour club and the way I would play it."

"Lost in a pine forest, without signal, isolated in a fantasy. Lying on the blanket, slowly nodding your head, feeling good, moving to the rhythm of dub."

Embodying a profound and instinctual allure, Javier Salazar (@javrsalazar) remains an enigmatic force in the contemporary music landscape. Founders of klape nunsen (@klapenunsen), their sound is characterized by elegant and soaring rhythms creating immersion through a continued dedication to diversifying their selection, blending genres and atmospheres. The two are also part of La Vallée Electrique (@Melifera_Records) in which they shape a cohesive whole among the artists of the festival. Records from the duo are available on Oslated and their own imprint, drawing listeners into a smooth current of sounds.

HOCast #197 - Javier Salazar - Perpendicular 2024

Astral Industries has been quietly shaping a corner of music that feels uniquely its own for over ten years. Based in London, the label has become a refuge for sounds that don't play by the rules—drone, ambient, dub, deep techno—all delivered with a sense of purpose and personality that's hard to find elsewhere. At the center of it all is Ario, the visionary behind the label’s distinct identity. To start 2025 in style, we're excited to share his mix as part of our "Delayed with…" series.

Ario's approach to music isn't about the obvious or the easy. His selections often veer into the experimental, finding connections in places others might overlook. Whether it's a drone, techno, or something that sits in the cracks between genres, he has a way of uncovering sounds that feel fresh and unpredictable. That instinct has made him a fixture at festivals like Paral.lel, Mostra, Moment, and La Nature just to name a few, where his sets are as much about exploration as they are about enjoyment.

This mix is a live recording of Ario’s set at La Nature Festival, nestled deep in a Belgian forest. Over two hours in the Hypnose Room, he built something that felt both strange and welcoming—layers of murk and mystery balanced by flashes of warmth and light. Tracks rise and fall like moments in a story, some tense and introspective, others breaking through with fractured grooves or shimmering synths that catch you off guard. What makes this mix so compelling is its sense of space—it feels expansive and intimate at the same time. There's a timeless quality to it as if it could belong as much to the future as the past. But it's never pretentious or overthought. Ario lets the music breathe, letting you take from it what you will.

Whether you're in the thick of the Hypnose Room or just sitting at home with a pair of good headphones, this set has a way of pulling you in if you let it. Hats off to Ario and La Nature Festival for creating something that feels real and alive, a reminder that originality still matters.

Delayed with... Ario (at La Nature Festival 2024)

Today we are happy to share with you Bas Dobbelaer’s interpretation of Far Blue. The Amsterdam based DJ and producer is known for his distinct style, floating between energies with odd signatures and atmospheric sounds. 

With Echoes, Bas Dobbelaer takes you on an introspective journey where shifting rhythms and immersive atmospheres intertwine, creating a very deep contribution to the series.

“With this mix I tried to find the deeper layer of certain tracks and not limit myself too much with different tempo’s ranges. If it fits the vibe and helping the flow, it’s probably the right spot.

Creating a mix is an interesting creative outlet to discovering new possibilities and refining the art of setting the tone. Balancing on that thin line with endless opportunities, reflects the perfect capture of the feeling and learnings of today.”

A Far Blue concept by Bas Dobbelaer - 'Echoes'

There’s something special about clicking with someone musically, aesthetically, and on a human level. That’s exactly how we feel about our collaboration with Mostra Festival, which is entering its third year. We’re thrilled to introduce some of the talent performing at the 2025 edition and to continue this creative exchange with our friends from Spain.

Mostra 2025 happens April 17-20 at two brand-new locations. With two waves of artists already announced, it’s clear that the high bar set by previous editions has once again been met. Expect the finest in ambient, experimental, avant-garde, and techno. The final wave of artists will be revealed tomorrow, February 12—keep an eye on the festival’s socials for the full announcement. More details on the lineup, new venues, and everything Mostra-related will be coming soon to our page.

Today’s guest mix comes from an artist we’ve been following closely: Mariachiara Troianiello, aka Katatonic Silentio. An Italian producer, DJ, and researcher, she moves between electronic music, performing arts, and sound studies, blending abstraction with club energy. Active as a DJ for over 15 years, her sets oscillate between an analog past and a fast-moving future—sometimes dreamy and introspective, other times razor-sharp and unpredictable.
This January, she was part of ExtraMostra event at Berlin’s OHM, where Mostra & Midgar joined forces. Alongside DjSport, Forest Drive West, Keplrr, and Severja, she delivered a mind-bending set in a packed-out club that couldn’t fit everyone who wanted in.

For her guest mix in our series, Katatonic Silentio explores dub techno in her own meticulous way—controlled, intentional, and always with a sense of movement. The first hour plays with restraint, each track given space to breathe, while subtle shifts build an unspoken tension. Just when you think you’ve settled into the groove, she nudges things into unexpected territory—tightening the pulse, throwing in off-kilter patterns, and steering toward a more kinetic, unpredictable second hour. It’s a mix that keeps you on your toes, unfolding with precision rather than force. A refined trip from an artist who never takes the obvious route.
Katatonic Silentio will perform a live set at Mostra 2025.

It’s a genuine delight to welcome Sarah Wreath to the Unrush mix series. 

Sarah and Mareena first met at SuperBooth in 2018 - a wonderful, annual playground for synth lovers in Berlin. They were both working at the front desk, surrounded by machines, cables, curious conversations, and the kind of people who speak fluent modular. It was one of those encounters that sticks. Since then, their paths kept crossing at different corners of the music world, always briefly, but with a deep mutual respect and warmth.

Sarah’s mix for Unrush feels like slipping into a slow, sonic ritual: deep, patient, and textured with intention. At times, it´s layers reveal a delightful obscurity, inviting you to explore unexpected twists and hidden depths. You can sense her background in sound research and therapeutic practice, as well as her love for psychedelic edges and raw, old-school techno. As a producer, she has released her debut LP on The Bunker New York in 2024 and has recently dropped fresh collaborative tracks with Sandwell District.

Here for Unrush, the mix isn’t just a selection of tracks. It’s a carefully curated journey that moves through space and feeling. Lean back, close your eyes, and enjoy the ride...

Thanks a lot to https://soundcloud.com/sarahwreath

The Italian producer duo caught our attention already with their first release on Konstrukt.  They continued to showcase their fresh take on ambient techno ranging from droning darkness to melodies of light. You can experience it all in this mix which also consists some of their unreleased music.

THE LABYRINTH 2017

natural/electronic.system. @ Paral·lel 2020 Online Edition

STBL is the most accessible alias of noi, an artist close to sound art and experimentation even in his beginnings as producer. Thanks to this project, Jorge Ortiz de Pinedo gives shape to his personal vision of music in the last decades, hinting at clear influences: from ambient music to electro or acoustic IDM. 
Without giving notoriety to any of these concepts, noi tries to combine in a “non-restrictive” way (in terms of listening) the different interpretations that fit together in his personal and unique vision of what we could called just “electronic music”. Works as Suspended Animation [inrecs, 2010], Entropy (escala 2012) or Approaches to understanding nothing [plataforma-LTW, 2012] are a good example of the eclecticism of his different productions. 
Other projects, as noi, that he had taken through these years include pieces for installations, video art, radio, performances and theatre. He is also the co-director of escala netlabel (www.escalared.com), one of the most bustling digital platforms in the Spanish scene.
