DSS 101 comes from Belgian soil.

Simsaara is a multidisciplinary artist based in Brussels. In parallel to his role of Head of Visuals and Communication for NoName (La Nature Festival, Hors-Piste), he is carving his path within the Belgian underground scene.

A guide to the unseen, Simsaara calls upon the curious and the bold to join a ritual of sound and soul. Through enigmatic rhythms and transcendent vibrations, he crafts ceremonies that dissolve the boundaries of musical genres and blur the line between the earthly and the ethereal, guiding the audience through immersive journeys where spirits roam freely and souls unite in ecstatic dance.

With this set Simsaara summoned the depths of drum'n'bass to embark on a journey into the upside down.
Thoughts melt, worlds collide. Around you, bodies in motion. On your own, lost in the trance.

We are super thrilled to announce we have reached a great milestone in our DSS journey. We'd like to thank everyone who joined and supported our project during the past years. On to the next 100!

Proud to present DSS 100, brought with care by Pianeti Sintetici, a conceptual concept by Davide Perrone (Primal Code). It draws inspiration from the factories of Magrathea, a planet in Douglas Adams' classic space opera The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, where artificial planets are manufactured on commission.

Davide says. "I like to imagine the howls of creatures inhabiting solar systems outside our own. Rarefied atmospheres, alien sequences, and unfamiliar tonal scales. So, I see Pianeti Sintetici as an open-ended design research project where I can explore these inspirations."

Recording of Lynne's set at les Chaos Ambiants 2024
Mastering by Ryosuke Tsuchiya

Lynne is a Japanese artist who explores the outer realms of techno, experimental, and drum 'n'bass. First emerging in 2013 as part of Tokyo's underground scene, Lynne established herself quickly, winning the Samurai Music Mix competition and playing regularly at respected Tokyo institutions. Over time her sound evolved from its DnB roots to include more textural, obscure and experimental layers as she became fascinated with building emotive atmospheres and twisting them to her rhythm. Now an Astral Industries and Unknown Species resident, Lynne resides between Tokyo and London. She is an artist who is most comfortable in the grey space between genres, where her rhythm is a gravitational force pulling dancers in all the right directions.

[Les Chaos Ambiants]

The Pauza association presents Les Chaos Ambiants, a festival dedicated to the encounter between electronic music, the visual arts and the rich heritage of Burgundy-Franche-Comté.

This event is designed on a small scale to make it as comfortable as possible to listen, meet and move around, with a single stage to promote emerging and established artists, a natural setting conducive to the discovery of musical works and artistic installations, and an eco-responsible approach to limit its environmental impact.

The project has several objectives : to promote the European and international artistic scene, to stimulate and strengthen the cultural and creative network across the département and the region ; to help promote and showcase the natural and cultural heritage of Burgundy-Franche-Comté ; to support local produce and the local economy.

It's with great pleasure that we welcome Spanish maestro ABSIS to The Observatory, who gifts us with a special live ambient set, performed and recorded earlier this month at Human Club's third anniversary celebrations in Barcelona.

Thank you, Salva. Stunning <3

The Observatory - ABSIS (Live at Human Club, 2025)

@sentientsound  

We’re thrilled to share our 100th episode with you.
To mark this special occasion, we invited London based producer/DJ Sentient. For this, he made an exclusive mix for us.
This multi-tempo set delves into all aspects of his sound, blending deep, immersive soundscapes that transcend genres.

It features tracks from his recently released QEONE EP, along with unreleased material from his upcoming DNO EP in collaboration with Clearlight.

Reaching #100 wouldn't have been possible without the amazing artists who have contributed incredible mixes and everyone who has supported us over the past 9 years.
And a huge thank you to Sentient for taking on #100—we’re truly grateful to you all!

It's an honour to welcome the lovely Joan Gila to The Observatory <3

Some words by Joan about the mix:

"I always like to conceptualize my mixes. It helps me set boundaries and avoid falling into the endless musical rabbit hole - which, frankly, can be overwhelming. This particular mix took me time to find its definitive form. After my latest vinyl purchases over the past few months, as well as an exploration of CDs (a whole fascinating world in itself), I was finally able to define its premise.

The mix unfolds across four movements. Three of them are based on a deconstruction of a long-form minimalist drone composition, layering elements of field recordings, electroacoustics & musique concrète, or additional drones. Each movement explores textures, dialectics, and microtonalism respectively. In between, the remaining movement serves as a purely experimental interlude.

This time, I can’t provide a tracklist - I couldn’t even say exactly what I used or in what proportion. The selection flows together in a way that’s hard to pinpoint, with a mix of works and pieces that come together naturally. That said, I can share that it features a strong presence of musique concrète and electroacoustic works from the '70s and '80s, including artists like Jep Nuix, Olly Wilson, Hans Roosenschon, and Anne Ben Hammou, along with revered names in drone and minimalism like Éliane Radigue, Bernhard Günter, Sarah Davachi, or Toshiya Tsunoda. There are also more recent sonic experiments and compositions – names like Richard Chartier, Steve Roden, Pablo Diserens, Jana Winderen, ENA, or Lotus Eater - some of which we’ll have the chance to experience at Mostra. And of course, there are also tracks from friends - this time, Oisatsana, ABSIS, and Menhir."
