As we slowly ease out of the warmer summer days, we are delighted to welcome Noah Lyas to the Embodiment podcast series. With more than 15 years of experience in making music and as co-founder of Profundo Collective, he has carved out a space for deep, hypnotic explorations that move masterfully between nuance and vigor.

Noah Lyas reflects on the recording process with striking authenticity:

“During the summer, it gets so hot in my attic studio that making music is almost impossible. Even in the evening, with the windows open, it’s hard to stay focused and attentive while composing; only warm, heavy ambient pads come into being, with crickets providing the rhythm.

This mix was recorded just after all those hot days, when the temperature was finally low enough to dance in the attic again, and to feel what it’s like to be active. It begins calmly, flowing slowly, until the first low notes become possible after which it spills over into rhythmic steps. Just like the transition from those sweltering summer evenings to the creation of this set.”

A fluid journey that rises gently from ambient depth to grounded rhythmic flow, echoing the passage from heat-induced stillness into motion, presence, and dance.

Madrid's F-on is a much beloved figure within the Spanish scene, known for his elegant all-vinyl sets and curation behind the brilliant Alpenglühen label among so much more. We stayed in touch after his particularly beautiful set at 2017’s Paral·lel Festival, and I've been looking forward to one day sharing this episode of the series since. Alfonso’s mix is uncanny in its precision and demonstrates a prowess behind the decks that few can match, a soft palette built through veteran and timeless selection. Two hours in and out of focus like rippling dust through which the flow of time slows, a stasis in the stream. Thanks Alfonso!

[PITCH51] Aiôn Lazura - Blue Carbon [PREVIEW]

It's Sunday, and September's full moon is on an eclipse. 
Still feeling the hangover from what was an epic night with Muzan editions. Friends, great music, and energy through the roof. No wonder why we had to continue the night together elsewhere. 
And yet, I feel an influx of energy to combat the headache. So here comes episode 62nd of Selene Series. 

The moment is asking for hazy beats. Think atmospheric breakbeat, illbient, dubbed out breaks. Yes, some sloppy mixing. But hey, it was a bit challenging this time. From slow downtempo to 120 territory to 160 drum and bass/jungle. What matters is that this selection comes from the soul. Exactly how and what I feel in this precise moment. A great snapshot of what a foggy Sunday requires, musically, at least for me. My version of hangover music for you. 

Welcome back to Selene Series, see you when the moon is full...

Mixed by DOC.

Selene Series 062

"Morning unfolds gently in the forest - steam rising from a cup of tea, birdsong carrying its own field recording. The set drifts from luminous ambient into unhurried downtempo and smoky, weightless dub, every transition seamless, every tone in its place. A soundtrack not imposed on the hour, but in harmony with it - unfolding in quiet perfection."

Luismi aka guisvi (@guisvi), a music lover for more than 3 decades, has a wide range of atmospheric music. Exquisite selector and great storyteller, he has always been rather elusive in city clubs, often seen at private parties and the most underground events. His sets of ambient and low-tempo electronica are true journeys with subtle and extended blends. Sequences that breathe, atmospheres, and textures to dance with closed eyes.

Recorded djset at Perpendicular 2025 (@espacio-perpendicular) - somewhere in the woods. When? Saturday 8:00 Where? In the main stage.

The next instalment in our series comes from ANNX, recorded at Corsica Studios during the @snoozeafters night in collaboration with @crescent-london. It drifts through ambient soundscapes, nature-tinged downtempo, dubbed-out grooves, and irresistibly slow, squelchy basslines.

ANNX's mix is also available to watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/A4BwYA85LCc

Inspired by cities and dancefloors where she's lived and explored, ANNX’s unique seductive sound echos within her psychedelic selections across trance, prog, psy, techno, tech house, bass and more. 

Her distinct sound has gained her global visibility appearing on club and festival line-ups in the UK, France and Mexico including Gloria at Macadam, SinXcensura in Mexico and she is a resident DJ at Above Below Festival. 

Anna’s commitment to the scene goes beyond the booth, she carefully identifies niche sounds that are missing in the UK and has become a staple for psychedelic music on London's club circuit. In 2021, she founded Whomp, a non-profit party in London which she now co-runs with Lora Mipsum. In 2023, she started a brand-new project perspectives• with lighting designer Nicole Gordon. Most recently, she joined the Above Below music team. 

All is in flux. Nothing remains still.

FlowCast #006 | ANNX @ Corsica Studios

With the summer festival season drifting into memory, it feels like the right moment to linger on one of the most thoughtfully shaped events in recent years. The Mostra Festival unfolded over the Easter weekend across two Barcelona locations, and what set it apart wasn’t just the programming, but the curation - a balance of trust, patience, and precision. The first two days leaned toward the ambient and the experimental, tipping into rhythm as the nights wore on. Yet the real magic of that opening stretch lay in the beatless hours. Friday in particular offered a moment that still reverberates among Mostra regulars and beyond: Robert Henke’s performance of Dust. If there is any place in the world designed for such a work, Mostra provided the perfect frame. For one afternoon, Henke held the crowd in complete attention and reverence, something essential for any artist, but especially for one whose work is as delicate, shifting, and expansive as Dust.

For many of us, Robert Henke, Monolake to longtime listeners, has been a constant presence in the background of our musical lives. His records shaped taste, his performances redefined how electronic music could be experienced live, and his role as co-creator of Ableton changed the very tools we use to make and share sound. Few artists can claim such a dual legacy: architect of both the music and the machinery. Whether in moments of joy or frustration, whether in the studio or on the dancefloor, it’s impossible to imagine modern electronic music without his fingerprints on it. Henke embodies the link between technological innovation and artistic expression, and his influence runs deeper than most of us can trace.

Dust is perhaps the clearest expression of that link. Powered by a custom granular synthesis engine, it reduces sound to particles, field recordings, analog tones, machine hiss, bells, and waves, then disperses them into clouds that evolve in real time. The result is less like a composition and more like a living organism: fragile, unpredictable, always becoming something new. At Mostra, this unfolding took shape in late afternoon, after Patrick Russell’s set had sharpened the air with its own restraint. Henke stepped in with a 360-degree surround system that transformed the floor of Fabra i Coats into a resonant body. The sound was cosmic and liquid, grainy and immense, stretching outward until it seemed to erase the horizon. Every surface in the space shimmered with detail, as if the air itself had been tuned. What made it remarkable was how fragile it all felt. Nothing was forced; every movement seemed to arise on its own, like dust caught in late-afternoon sunlight. Yet the immersion was total. People surrendered, leaning into the space as if trying to hold onto something that could never be held. For that hour, Mostra wasn’t a festival anymore. It was a room of people floating together in a world made entirely of sound, knowing it would never happen in quite the same way again.

Delayed x Mostra: Robert Henke presents Dust

Cio D’Or hardly requires an introduction, having long stood as both a pillar of our scene and a source of inspiration for so many. Over the course of her singular and decades-spanning career, the Cologne-based artist has cultivated a universe of sound entirely her own, immediately recognizable yet endlessly evolving much like the work of her contemporaries and collaborators Mike Parker and Donato Dozzy. To experience Cio’s music is to follow a throughline that traces the complex history of contemporary techno in a single gesture, compelled by the vast unknown and the primordial familiar in equal measure. Recalling the blurred realism of Richter’s photo-paintings or the timeless intricacy of Bach’s fugues, Cio’s self-contained sonic world delicately reframes our own precious lifecycle, a reflection revealed through its elegant and subtractive minimalism.

In collaboration with our friends at Mostra, I’m honored to share a selection from Cio D’Or’s set performed at this year’s edition of the Barcelona-based festival, a sublime triumph from a scholar of sound.

Sure Thing Mix 146: Cio D'Or

Forget the club; enter the ceremony. Fértil Discos beckons you through a new portal, “Fértil Club,” a new series curated by DJ Nim through which the heartbeat of ancient South America meets the pulse of the future. The inaugural transmission arrives from Pawkarmayta, a solo project of Peruvian artist Anthony Paucarmayta. His album, “Aramu” (Serpent of the Andes), is a nine-track ceremonial voyage composed in C minor, a rich and expressive key known for creating music with a strong emotional impact, which can influence a listener's mood and state of mind. Crafted during the pandemic's silence, the work draws from Paucarmayta’s dedication to sound healing and his vast archive of Peru's auditory landscapes – forest winds, flowing water, and avian conversations collected over decades. Rooted in his classical training from Cusco, the music weaves ceremonial tradition with electronic minimalism, transforming field recordings into a potent medicine for the mind and a vessel for escape.

Premiered here, AWKA unfolds as a deep, percussive meditation anthem. A low, steady BPM anchors the atmosphere, over which soft, resonant vocal hooks emerge, enveloped by an ethereal, phantasmagoric layer of airy vocals that float like a spectral choir through the mix. The result is a profoundly hypnotic soundscape – a slow-burning fusion of rhythm and aura that feels both ancient and transcendent, embodying the album's ceremonial purpose through its serpentine, undulating flow.

You can find (and buy) this and other music pearls on the Bandcamp page of the label: https://fertildiscos.bandcamp.com/
