As a producer, @loekfrey is amongst the most exciting voices to have emerged from the influential Dutch scene in recent times. Balancing intricate experimental with abstract elements of IDM and techno, Loek’s sound is both compelling and forward-thinking.

His recent LP release on @woodyninetytwo’s @omenwapta is the perfect embodiment of this sound, slipping gracefully between hallucinatory sound design and irresistibly propellant rhythms. With other releases slated for release this year, Loek finds himself in an ascendant moment.

Consisting of unreleased solo and collaborative works, Loek Frey’s Patterns of Perception 108 feels like a glimpse into the future. Winding combinations of reflective and vibrant energies counter and build, illuminating an engrossing yet unpredictable flow. Clusters of intuitively sequenced beats writhe beneath constellations of alien-like glitches. Unsettling textures diffused by shimmering crystalline sophistication.

Next up in our mix series is Bambi, hailing from Paris and resident at the French underground institution Macadam, on Rinse France waves, and at Berlin’s Hypersoft party series and our good friends from Paris, Hors-Sol. Bambi has made a name for herself in France and abroad thanks to her nuanced, cosmic sets fuelled with trance, dub and deep techno influences. Beyond the decks, she also promotes safer party spaces within the French initiative Reinvent The Night, and contributes to French reflexive laboratory Au-delà du club (Beyond the Club) through their collaborative zine Flashes: words and images to reinvent the night.

For this mix, Bambi takes us on a proper trip, skillfully building tension and seamlessly rising in vitality. Starting through ambient vibrations, gradually introducing layers of rhythm and escalating intensity. Building and weaving a tapestry of flowing sounds, airy textures and elegant oomphs - ending in summery euphoria. Warm and delicate, as a night under the open sky.

Ute Mix Series #97 | Bambi

Next up in our mixseries is Sindh, previously known as 9beats. Sindh is a project born in 2021, with a hardware heavy sound, merging modular frequencies and tribal percussions creating his very own signature sound. His Komudo series, along with releases on respected labels like IDO, Lowless, and A-Biotic, has helped carve out a distinctive sonic identity—one that nods to the shifting tides of the millennium while staying fresh and forward-thinking. His signature sound has found a home in clubs like Garage Noord and Macadam, as well as festivals like Monument, Above Below, and Ouroboros.

In this mix Sindh takes us on an all-vinyl trip, digging deep into his crates, weaving together a vinyl journey that tunnels through both old-school and futuristic sounds. Acid-laced techno, rolling trance, and hypnotic pulses twist and turn, blurring the lines between past and present. One hour for deep listeners and adventurous dancers alike.

This contribution is a very special one, as it marks a new chapter in The Observatory’s sound… 

We will always be a home for ambient and experimental sounds. But, moving forward, we will also be exploring our love for dance music, with a particular focus on the deep end.

To begin this new journey and warm things up, we are so happy to welcome back Timnah, who gifts us with a two-hour recording of her set at Omen Wapta, ADE’24. A mind-bending traversal through ambient, drone, and halftime experiments, exploring the liminal spaces between the listening room and the dance floor.
~~
Timnah lives, works and feeds the cats in the Northwestern extremities of Switzerland. Brought up in her parents’ jazz clubs and deeply influenced by her brother’s love for dub and soundsystem culture, she started DJing just after the massively feared Millenium Bug had threatened to offset our relation to time and space. Dedicated to drawing her own map of late 20th century sonic landscapes, she spent the early 2000s exploring 90s electronics including breakbeat, triphop, ambient techno, drum&bass, house and jungle. After a short but sweet excursion into producing in the early 2010s, Timnah dedicated herself fully to spinning the wheels and transversing genres, gravitating towards her current signature sound that spans immersive sound baths and intergalactic carpet rides in half-time. Timnah is a member of Amenthia Recordings and a recent addition to the A Walking Contradiction Collective.

Through chaos, cathartic soundscapes, and monolithic grooves, we are excited to introduce Marco Maldarella — @marcomaldarella — for this new episode. Producer and selector based in Bologna, Marco co-founded @sinestesie_s event and mix series. His project is rooted in a multidimensional approach, known for his collaboration with Christian Duka as MARMO, and his solo album Clinamen, released on @omenwapta.

At the crossroads of deep psychedelic techno and tribal sounds, Marco Maldarella dives into the depths of modern electronic music with a fast-paced and intense sonic signature.

For this mix, Marco delivers a raw tribe fast trance experience, where psychedelic elements collide with a dark groove reminiscent of ancient times. Drones, noise, and otherworldly voices define his unique style. The result is an intimate, introspective, and mental journey, featuring many of unreleased tracks.

Marco shares his vision with us : « 𝘙𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘻𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘩 𝘤𝘰𝘢𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘤𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘣𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘯 𝘢𝘹𝘪𝘰𝘮𝘴 𝘴𝘬𝘦𝘵𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘱𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨—𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮 𝘢 𝘣𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘴; 𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘲𝘶𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘨𝘮𝘢.

🔊  NEW RELEASE  🔊

Torrential is a track that is rich in subtle textures and impactful effects, and it captures the raw energy of the electric house genre with a powerful rhythmic core. It is built around a massive, layered kick drum and a deep, retro-inspired synth bassline. The track's pulse is driven by these elements while incorporating a subtle but effective range of toppers—giving it a constant sense of forward and rhythmic motion, ready for the dance floor. It features 'stutter' effect vocals throughout, drifting from ear to ear as you listen.

So, put your headphones on, close your eyes & enjoy the ride... 🎧
