Ocaso is a regular radio show on Lusophonica Radio made with the contribution of music-loving individuals who knit and mesh different genres of music and sound works into personal and very atmospheric sessions. It is also an event series and DJ project that spreads itself from the airwaves into the real world.

OCASO (Atmospheric/Electronica/Downtempo)

Welcome to another live recorded journey. In this case, by https://soundcloud.com/barnemax.

Some context:
"Last summer I did the opening of the Ouroboros festival with this set.
It's an experimental selection in which I gathered tracks that made me feel in a peculiar way, some intense gut feeling. In a sense this set is a bit cathartic and enabled me to crystalize the not so great vibes I had at the time."

About Barnemax:
His taste in music is hard to pin down, but if anything, then it can be defined as an ever-present undergrowth of bubbling alien activity might fit the most. While his music is not best characterized by classic dancefloor bangers, you will time and again find yourself confronted with high energy elements that do not tolerate standing around idle. These compositions are often entangled in broken, heavy beats; fractured textures; minimalistic games of rhythms; and eerie ambience. Indeed, contrast is a frequent companion in his releases: a clean ode to the sounds microbes make in the morning light walks hand to hand with distorted and unsettling sounds coming from haunted basements filled with cigarette smoke. An element of surprise can be safely expected. barnemax's palette includes, without an attempt of completeness: deep techno, IDM, downtempo, experimental electronic music.

We really hope you enjoy the introspection proposed by the artist in this conceptual & beautiful session.

Following three noteworthy appearances on compilations by On Board Music, Huinali Recordings, and Lost in Translation, New York-based duo Moon Patrol introduces their first long-player, “Mountain House Music.”

Moon Patrol consists of Irina Kotik and Gilles Wasserman, mainly known as co-founders of deep techno and ambient platform Delayed. Irina, a classically trained musician, contributed the melodic parts, and Gilles has been leading the rhythm section of the productions - an excellent symbiosis with meaningful output. A symbiosis whose soundscapes are an ode to the beauty of transitionary states and reflective exploration. “Surface Tension” and “Raflo Ren” grasp the fresh and misty air, with mountains slowly appearing through the morning fog, accompanied by wooden percussive beats. Likewise, the title track, “Mountain House Music” seems to be devoted to the passage from a dreamy, meditative state into an active physical space.
Throughout the ten tracks, we can hear the couple’s harmonious relationship with nature - may it be Prospect Park as their Brooklyn refuge or mountain retreats in upstate NY and Vermont - both spaces and the moods induced by them make an appearance through carefully selected and arranged field recordings (“Inparké” and “Beautiful Brook”). Moon Patrol, though having produced together since 2017 already, took their time to craft their own way of musically syncing and connecting with like-minded artists, such as Dutch producer Love Over Entropy, who took care of mixing the album.

Friends play a significant role in Moon Patrol’s symbiotic ecosystem and that’s why close friend Aspetuck contributed a breezy - grooving remix of “Wevok” - closing the LP with an uplifting, life-affirming note that teases to dance.
“Mountain House Music” was produced in the spring of 2022 while processing a loss in the family. It hence addresses symbiotic relationships and how our interdepence with nature and friends serves both as inspiration and refuge. Though naming their primary inspirations as Boards of Canada, Lord Of The Isles, Ripperton, and Khotin, Moon Patrol found their own very reflective, niche sound in the atmospheric down-tempo realms. A sound that is distinctively organic, immersed in exhilarating exploration, and full of airy breaks.

"Inspired by my visit at the house of the American poet Robert Lax (1915-2000) on Patmos, Greece October 2015. Back home I started making random samples from Youtube and creating soundscapes. All loops are realtime and randomly put together. While doing this i got the test vinyl of the "Original Recordings" by CHI, that we made 30 years ago. To be released in 2016 by Astral Industries (UK). It felt like the circle was closed.

"My first ambient track ever was called Hopi (1983). This new soundscape closes with a Hopi message. The photo is a Hopi Angel (this is what i googled). The soundscape created itself. I was only putting it together. It all came random and easily.

"A collective of sounds and voices from around the world. You'll hear poetry by Robert Lax, a Bukovski reading by Tom Waits, samples of Sun Ra, Nikos Eliou (Patmos), Koos Derwort (CHI) the voice of Nelson Mandela, John Cage, Inayat Khan, Ram Dass and much, much more. Hope you'll like it".

This session of OCASO starts off in the usual ambient atmospheric fashion but quickly gets into a deep dub vibe. Best enjoyed loud on good speakers. 

Long live the bass!

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.
