AMBIENT

On February 6th, two earthquakes took the lives of over 40,000 and counting Turkish, Syrian and Kurdish people, and displaced millions more, in what is one of the most devastating natural disasters of the 21st century. The effects of this disaster will be felt for years to come, and we as an international community need to raise money however we can to help, and also need to keep the crisis visible in global news.

On Sunday, February 19th, we hosted a fundraiser event at arkaoda Berlin, in collaboration with Root Radio, Radio Alhara and Resident Advisor. It was be a chance for people from the affected communities to meet and mourn together, to listen to some DJs from these regions play downtempo sets, to buy some donated artworks and crafts and, most importantly, to raise money. 

Together, we raised 12,000€ which was split equally between three reliable organisations: AHBAP who focus on Turkey, The White Helmets focusing on Syria and Heyva Sor focusing on Kurdish people.

Sculpting in Time - Rabon Aibo at Radio Alhara

During this Summer's sonic-seance at our Lisbon home, Planeta Manas, we revisited the history of seances, and with both a critical and curious eye, researched the technologies and beliefs behind these sessions attempting to communicate with the spirits. We sat and laid down together, guided by the live guitar drones of local musician, BLEID, who conjured ghastly shadows into our presence - including a police raid who invaded the space during her live set - and yet, her precise sonic guidance appeased the spirits and maintained everyone tight through a soporific night journey.

Combining traditional instrumentation and drone synths, BLEID creates endless waves, slowly growing and decreasing in a timeless continuum, overlaying sounds to breaking point, collapsing into themselves just to arrive at a familiar yet new destination every time.

We recommend good speakers that allow the reverberation to be felt in your body, or headphones accompanied with some tea. Allow yourself to drift away with these textured, haunted but soothing vibrations.

MixTate: TYGAPAW on Wolfgang Tillmans

Starting out as a DJ in 1994, @dexter-lux is well-seasoned when it comes to the craft of selecting music and setting a scene. Aside from playing and collecting music, Dexter is also the booker of the club Lux Frágil in Lisbon; a well-known, beloved spot for international artists and DJs. His mix is a three-hour-long voyage into various styles, rhythms and emotions: according to Dexter, it is inspired by “…the essence of my unforgettable and intense summer, a collection of memories from the deep, endless nights, the profound emotions of those early stirring mornings, the awe-inspiring sunrises, with a touch of autumn's wistful nostalgia and winter blues…” Enjoy!

"A lucid dream is a dream in which a person becomes aware that he or she is dreaming, and it then becomes quite different from an ordinary dream. For one thing, it can be strikingly realistic - to the point of producing a convincing replica of the normal physical world - and for another, it has its own psychological characteristics and range of emotional reactions, which must be considered independently of those experienced in normal dreaming."

Spanish sonic alchemist Camu joins us on the series with a deep session recorded at Lucid Dreams at Espacio Perpendicular, a Madrid-based event space he co-founded with like-minded individuals who share a beautiful ear for the more obscure shades of electronic music.

"a reverse puzzle: starting with structure, ending in disintegration."

welcome to the abstract sonic world of seoul-via-paris dj and producer k.o.p. 32. taking us a journey through the depths of the murky underworld, the hyper minimal session flips the switch between immersive, introspective sound design and grey area influences. 

drawing from his parisian roots and his current base in seoul, this diversity of influences lends itself to k.o.p. 32’s output. his productions lean towards meticulous drum grooves and textured atmospheres spanning across deep techno, halftime, drum & bass and freetek with releases across annulled, de rio, a-biotic, metaphore industrie, de rio and qilla records. i’m completely obsessed with his productions! they’re so deep and easy to get lost in. that feeling of being neither here nor there whilst you listen, away in another world. pyramid of knowledge is another alias of k.o.p. 32 and in 2021, he embarked on a new journey, launching his own label beyond the bridge which has released records from some of our other favourites including spekki webu and gi. well worth the dig through to get to know the world that k.o.p. 32 orbits in better as well as reading our interview below : )

"I'm deeply honored to contribute to the nunsen·tape series. From the beginning, I've admired this project and the dedicated souls who work in devotion to sustain and evolve this sonic sanctuary.

Through this mix, I sought to honor what I see as the project's core philosophy: the commitment to mindful creation, and those carefully curated aesthetics that breathe through ambient, minimal, dub and dub techno realms."

Ariana's comment on her approach to the mix, and her accompanying photo  which is up on our IG [at] new.palm :

“This is a picture I snapped on a recent hike (very close but lucky safe from the Altadena wildfire destruction zone). The tangly dense vines hugging around a grove of trees symbolize to me an ecosystem free from the stains of humankind. In this set, I imagined the sounds of before, during, and after the Anthropocene. This set was cathartic because, in the process of layering these sounds, I reflected on feelings of climate grief and solastalgia. I hope you are able to listen on a walk or somewhere quiet 🍃”

A welcome return to the series for our friend Faru with an inspired hybrid mix that captures the bittersweet essence of summer's farewell.

Faru is a Berlin-based musician, designer and explorer. He is crafting Drone and Ambient music from his nature recordings from around the world. His works have been described as a natural orchestra in a dream-like manner. Exploring movements of nature, noise and harmonics. Labels include Silent Season, Faint and Carpe Sonum (FAX)

About the mix he said:
"This hybrid mix drifts through layers of sound that feel like half-remembered dreams and moments suspended between past and present. It carries a sense of nostalgia, of looking back at places and times that still echo somewhere within. The sounds paint old memories into focus, though never quite as they were. Sometimes blurred, sometimes distorted, always shaped by the way we remember them as individuals. Textures and gentle warmth intertwine, like memories fading in and out of view. It’s music for reflection, for wandering through old feelings, and for revisiting those fragments of time that never completely leave us."

2025.09.26 Unknown #2, Secret Location

Driven by an incessant quest for immersion and fluidity, Enkō’s locked groove style creates a deep yet rhythmically rich performance.

The Basilar Festival resident and SUMMA founder showcases a groovier side to Lisbon techno whilst his contributions to the electronic movement extend beyond performing and curatorship into music production, with releases on labels such as BCCO, HAYES, AWRY or BELUGA TRACKS.

In the half-decade he spent studying music technology and sound design in Leeds, UK, he developed and finessed as a sound artist. And after collaborations with various festivals and events such as Latitude, Leeds Festival, and SHHH_IFT, he established several new projects in Lisbon, including the OBRA, OCASO, cult party SUMMA, and techno label HAYES Collective.

Enkō is a regular at top-level venues and festivals in his homeland, namely Lux Frágil, Indústria, Outra Cena, Gare, Basilar Festival, Boom Festival, Freedom Festival, Forte Festival, Waking Life, Vinculum, Lisb-On, Timelapse, Aroma Cósmico and others.
