estamos tan huérfanos de programas de techno que con que hagas uno cada 4 años nos conformaremos, de la escasez nace la necesidad.

The Dekmantel favourite kicks off 2025 in an exploratory mood.

Since her breakout in 2017, Thessa Thorsing has built an enviable CV: a debut release on Nous'klaer Audio, an album on Dekmantel and a residency at former Amsterdam clubbing institution De School. Over these years, she's honed a singular sound, navigating wild variations in tempo and mood that dance along the edges of techno, IDM and drum & bass (we could list many more, but you know the drill).

Her creative arc has seen her delve into ever more abstract concepts, such as 2024's ambient-leaning album, Strange Meridians, exploring the interplay between synthetic and natural textures through drumless experimentations. As she explained in her 2018 RA Breaking Through profile, "I just want to hear the weirdness in the music."

Thorsing's RA Podcast showcases exactly why she's one of the most  consistently adventurous names in dance music. Describing it as "a mix with a narrative," the former landscape architecture student flexes her ability to build sonic environments, beginning in a landscape more akin to a swamp than a club.

Across 90 minutes, she moves through numerous layered terrains, exploring everything from Skee Mask's lucid, beatless techno to the piercing acid of Mike Parker. Unfolding with a restless sense of curiosity, RA.970 captures an artist challenging the boundaries of electronic music, ever upward.

On Board Music - Jin Synth - 09 Apr 2025

deep, dubby and groove-filled session from one of our favourite artists who’s music we can’t get enough of, andy martin.

andy has such a distinctive sound, it’s so easy to recognise one of his tracks in a mix as he bridges together his mexican and jamaican roots through a futuristic style that spans across techno and dub leaning towards rich textural influences. it’s honestly quite hard for me to go a mix or radio show without including one of his andy’s tracks. his output is strong with his first release out in 2009 and has been steady ever since! whether that’s self-released, via his imprint mole audio, that he runs alongside didier dlb and where you’ll find collaborations with lee scratch perry and gavsborg, via labels such as ssensorial and discos movimiento or his ambient works which have led to andy performing in musuems, art galleries and festivals like mutek. there’s a touch of andy martin in every corner.

Untitled 909 Podcast 222: Andy Martin

For this special edition of the Bloom Loops podcast, we're honoured to welcome Ario — founder and curator of the acclaimed Astral Industries label. Widely respected for its impeccable curation and timeless releases, Astral Industries has carved out a unique space in the world of ambient and experimental electronic music, with each release offering a meticulously crafted sonic journey.

In this recording, Ario brings that same curatorial sensibility to the decks, guiding us on a deep and expansive journey. It begins with a psychedelic abduction to another world, and as the mix gradually unfolds you emerge into an expansive world of progressive and vintage tech house before dissolving into deep, swirling tribal techno. True to Ario's refined aesthetic, it is a set that balances both introspection and propulsion. 

Recorded in Hong Kong, at a secret location, this mix is a teaser for the upcoming Rebloom event on Saturday 17th May—where Ario will return to the Rebloom booth for our birthday celebrations, with a special closing set. 

Lock in, drift away and enjoy! Take me to your leader 🛸

BLOOMLOOPS 015 - Ario

Jaleo Real es una fiesta generacional, una reunión anual de Zetas (y no tan zetas) que ha sido capaz de, sin intentarlo ni perseguirlo, crear una escena de calidad y sana a raíz de ella; un ecosistema de culto instantáneo . Una rave boutique, 4 días de bienestar ininterrumpido donde se tejen tejidos sonoros, sociales y sentimentales con la música y el hedonismo inteligente como hilos conductores. Para un vampiro como yo que ha consumido ya varias generaciones de buenos fiesterxs me resulta una fortuna poder ser testigo cercano también de esta. Grandes mis primitos y mis primitas ;)

Fue el primer set que sonó en la zona de día en todo el finde. Me gustaría contar que fue todo un éxito de baile pero no fue así, la peña andaba en un mood mental y físico más estático, lo normal y comprensible siendo las 11 de la mañana; Elegí mal la música para el momento, no tuve el talento para acertar a ese respecto cuando la preparé por lo que me tuve que conformar con que "solo" se escuchara (en el pecado se suele llevar la penitencia). Dicho lo cual son temazos todos y cada uno de ellos y por supuesto que está mezclada flama flama, como siempre que soy yo el que pincha que sus pensáis. 

Iba a sacar la playlist pero me ha parecido un pateo. Track id? y voy. Son tracks de estos que, como el 99% de lo que salen son temazos pero no himnos, rara vez nos encontramos ya con esa pista que será recordada para siempre por todos, y no lo digo en plan polla vieja si no todo lo contrario; sale tanta música tan buena que un temazo oculta al otro y así constantemente, no te cansas de escuchar nuevas ideas bien ejecutadas. Esta generación además de a elles, cuenta con la mejor música que se ha hecho jamás ( así es de siempre en esto de la electrónica, quien diga lo contrario solo la juzga por los recuerdos que le trae, o ha dejado de traerle).

Gocen.

FOR GUIRIS FOLLOWERS:

Jaleo Real is a generational party, an annual gathering of Zetas (and not so Zetas) that has been able, without trying or pursuing it, to create a quality and healthy scene out of it. A boutique rave, 4 days of uninterrupted wellness where sound, social and sentimental fabrics are woven with music and intelligent hedonism as the common threads. For a vampire like me who has already consumed several generations of good fiesterxs, it is a fortune to be a close witness of this one too. Great my cousins and my little cousins ;)

It was the first set that was played in the day zone all weekend. I would like to say that it was a dance success but it was not so, the people were in a more static mental and physical mood, normal and understandable being 11 am; I chose the wrong music for the moment, I did not have the talent to get it right when I prepared it so I had to settle for “just” to be heard (in the sin is usually the penance). Having said that, each and every one of them is great and of course flama flama is mixed in, as always when I'm the one who plays what you think.

I was going to pull out the playlist but I got lazy. Track id? and I'm going. They are tracks of these that, as 99% of what come out are great tracks but not hymns, rarely we find that track that will be remembered forever by everyone, and I do not say it like an oldcock if not the opposite; so much good music comes out that a great track hides the other and so constantly, you do not get tired of hearing new ideas well executed. This generation in addition to them, has the best music that has ever been made (that's how it always is in this electronic music, whoever says the opposite only judges it by the memories it brings him, or has stopped bringing him).

Continuum: a coherent whole characterized as a collection, sequence, or progression of values or elements varying by minute degrees.

We take off to continue our voyage joining the dots of The Continuum, and this was the time our mission gave in to the pull of a force that, since day one, has been beeping in our sonic radar and marked as a ‘not to miss’. We explore total outlandish territory here with a unique selector that challenges genres, labels, and preconceptions. We salute Josephine’ Soundscapes.

Josephine’ Soundscapes is the moniker of Jose Salas, an audiovisual creator, art director, and active promoter of alternative culture in Madrid. When it comes to music, he has been an active participant in shaping Madrid’s underground electronic music scene for over 20 years. Founder and collaborator of many musical and cultural projects over the years, his current ones include Campos de Marte, an expanded radio project dedicated to experimental music, and the curation of Temple, a series of listening sessions at Espacio Perpendicular.

And that would be an “official” glimpse at his resume. But the gravity magnet of Josephine’s musical choices gets out the personal in me.

And CHOICES here is the word. Because what makes Jose’s sound impossibly unique is his brave choices. Placing himself in the crossroads of experimental, ambient, avant-garde and electronics is not a chance. His landing space has enabled him to explore, what I believe, is his superpower: a keen eye for mega-bold selections. He embodies the concept of “the sound you didn’t know you needed” and does so to an extreme. I have never heard stylistic picks like his ones, but the resulting collage often conveys a similar something: anachronistic sounds that bring psychedelia of past times. A touch of absurdism. Contemporary WTF-ism. A mastery of the surreal. And, having been lucky enough to attend to a couple of his in-person rituals, his takes always blow minds, make audience connect with each other, smile in joyous disbelief, and ask “are we really listening to this, right now, and works so well?”. 

What we present today for the next chapter in The Continuum is the re-recording of his set for a dreamy event put together by Mostra and Introspective Electronics in London. A special selection focusing on women, as the event took place on the 8th of March. Get ready for a take on psychedelia like you have never heard before. And welcome to a musical world not bound by space or time, where anything and everything can fit, and where the master selector will pick the most unexpected. Welcome to Josephine’ Soundscapes.

The Continuum: Josephine' Soundscapes

For her may show, Bambi invites Prague-based DJ Marie Pravda, with an hour of psychedelics blending gems.

﻿Based in Prague, @yomomsmokescrack has been shaking up the Czech club scene with her fearless, genre-blurring selections as well as her DIY spirit. As a resident at lovely @ankali , she knows how to take a dancefloor on a deep, mental ride.

"This one starts off slow—real slow," she says. "I wanted to create a journey that takes its time, building layer by layer until it hits that deep, psychedelic techno zone. It’s a reminder that, just like in life, the best things don’t happen right away. If you’re patient, the payoff is worth it."
