We are delighted to commence our journey curating Orbita, our online mix series dedicated to exploring sounds by the hand of a diverse bunch of talented international artists. 

For our first installment we are beyond excited to present to you a very special contribution, by our dear friend Polygonia. A tense buildup and strong atmosphere made to lure you into a percussive vortex that will spit you out into the depths of a dark and humid rainforest. Surrender yourself to a ritual sacrifice guided by Polygonia’s rythmical precision and sensibility.

Polygonia is a multitalented artist based in Munich, where she runs the formidable record label IO together with her crew. Her sound is driven by a mystic, deep and organic character enriched by her studies in various acoustic instruments. She has repeatedly demonstrated to be a force to be reckoned with through her impeccable body of work released on some of the finest labels around. Don’t miss out on a chance to see her perform in a club or festival near you, she will masterfully blow you away.

Orbita 01 - Polygonia

"... seriousness, depth, coherence, expertise, hypnosis, textures, atmosphere, and horizontality. Bon voyage!"

After belonging to the Move and Skyzoo Spanish collectives in the mid-90s, Fran Campos (@fran-campos) became part in the 2000's of the team of residents of Le Club and in the organization of the Observatori festival . In 2010 begins Black Label, a monthly party at Miniclub, where, for 5 years, he unveiled his Housier side. Then he was busy with his residency at Jerusalem Club, Caravaca (Proper Club), and with the organization and residency of the Taiga parties in Madrid, betting on contemporary Techno with a deep character. Currently, he continues to be interested in the most avant-garde musical currents that Techno hosts, from Ambient to Deep Techno, through Electro, Halftime, and even D&B. Always selecting the best music at the periphery of the industry.

2nd edition of Simbiosis. An intimate communion of souls, in the mood for share with each other and dance under the stars.

In this new episode we have the Italian duo ALPI formed by Daniele Alessi and Gabriel Pivaro, they give us this session of minimalist and deep techno music. We can see some of the sounds that influence them reflected in this set that remind us a little of their work titled "Plenilunio" released on our label. Enjoy it!

For this episode of transience we are honoured to have sound artist and practioner, @sarahwreath 's live gong and electronic set, which uses a 110hz frequency to help with emotional processing and relaxation. About her contribution for transience she says the following;

"This is a version of my current ambient live set containing the pure tone of the 110hz frequency. This frequency – widely known as the fundamental pitch of the human voice used by ancient practitioners for mantra chanting – has been shown to help with emotional processing and relaxation, and has a profound effect on the right hemisphere of the brain. The right brain is known to be the seat of artistic expression, spirituality, emotion, imaginative thinking and breakthrough innovation. Research has shown that accessing and stimulating the right brain leads to better problem-solving skills and less conflict in people.

This live set was originally created to be performed together with a Chao Gong. The pulses and acoustic waves played promote a state of relaxation and a healthy nervous system."

transience #53 with Sarah Wreath

"The site remains open. A heavy warmth hangs in the air, humming faintly through the layers. Beneath the familiar grain of stratum TD-6, something shifts - subtle, almost liquid. A trace of heat runs across the timeline, unsettling its order. The sediment stirs; a soft crimson flicker rises, then fades. Perhaps Triana, or something far more ancient. The "Estrato Aurora" evolves, unbroken. The rhythm deepens, folding in on itself. The digger no longer seeks - he listens."

Jaime Romero aka Estrato Aurora (@lovebas) is also the half of Pajaro Dune project (with David Ortolá). He has been an integral part of Valencia's underground music scene. Jaime as a Dj and producer has more than 2 decades in the studio working with analogic machines and a whole kind of stuff. He defines himself as an Atmospheric music worker. His line on the last years has leaded to publish on known labels such as: Alpenglühen, Bliq Rec, Appian Sounds, On Board, Dial Rec. Discos Pandémicos, HC Records or Danza Nativa.

This set was recorded during Pepa's birthday! We’re taking the opportunity here at HOC Radio to wish her a happy birthday. From here, these airs that appear throughout the set, Sevillian and Flamenco, also as a dedication to the entire region.

HOCast #238 - Estrato Aurora

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.

Many of you will need no introduction to the music of Primal Code, the Italian duo who have conjured up a storm of stunning releases on labels such as Hypnus, The Gods Planet, and Konstrukt in relatively short order. We first connected over their gorgeous, then-unreleased track "Morgana," and since then it's been a pleasure watching them develop their natural and introspective sound, each release as polished and inspiring as the last. I'm so happy to welcome them to the podcast and what they've sent is pure delight, an emerald  evocation of sun-pierced woods and the clearing of the morning mist. Enjoy!
