We are over the moon to launch this season of Introspective Electronics’ Podcast Series with this special journey dreamed up by the mighty sonic enchantress and the soul behind Deep Mind Music - Sybil. Her presence on the local music scene and far far beyond has been steadily rising and a fiercely inspiring one, gracefully oscillating between dancefloors and deep listening spaces 💫

The mix you are listening to now is a spine-tingling presence drifting several feet off the ground, rolling like mist over still dark waters at dusk. Overheard conversations, snapshots from dreams. Tingling bells rushing across fields. A thread of thick and thin and light and dark dronescapes that sometimes hide peculiar tunes weaved by psychedelic guitars and electronics ✨🌚✨

We would also like to take this opportunity to introduce Marco Maldarella's vivid new visions that will take us through the upcoming year of Introspective Electronics. It is all starting with this showstopper of an artwork that is truly a sight to behold 🐍 

Thank you everyone for joining us on this adventure so far. We are looking forward to what comes next 💛

Podcast Series 20 | Sybil

As we gently slide into Autumn and the days get shorter and evenings cosier, we are excited to share with you the next chapter of our Podcast Series by the Amsterdam-based artists Paduan 🧙🏼‍♂️

Paduan is Patric Kimman, DJ and curator with firmly rooted attraction to the deeper side of electronic music. He is most at home playing musically meandering sets filled with drone textures and subtle melodies, with hints of concrète elements and natural sounds, a sonic direction that persists both in his monthly radio show on London’s Balamii as well as the event series Into the Universes he co-curates back home in Amsterdam 🐚

Patric’s contribution to the Introspective Electronics Podcast Series is a live recording from this year’s Perpendicular festival, an annual gathering of fellow deep music lovers in the beautiful nature of central Spain. This journey takes us on a pensive stargazing adventure across vast ambient planes cloaked with blanket of dark blue sky full of twinkling stars above ✨

Recorded live at @espacio-perpendicular 2024

Waiting Patiently for Berlin

"A lonely soul crawls through shadows and starlight.
Bells toll in reverse.
Choirs disintegrate into static.
A procession moves through ruins
hooded, glowing, fractured.
Litanies stitched from tape hiss and iron.
Inhabit the darkness,
and embrace the light."

Dante Lucero (@dante_lucero) is a sonic explorer whose music reflects the shifting landscapes of his inner world. As the founder of Diggers Collective, he curates and sells rare records, always in search of forgotten gems and hidden frequencies. With a deep commitment to experimentation, Dante moves fluidly between DJing, producing, and editing; constantly developing new ways to connect with music. His work is a personal ritual, a way of expressing emotion through the language he loves most: sound.

HOCast #241 -  Dante Lucero

More than happy to share the second Hyperborea session, featuring guest Rafael Anton Irisarri.  An artist whose work is a deep influence and has helped calm our souls with his art so many times.

@irisarri shares a carefully assembled selection of works, spanning modern classical, ambient, and deeply immersive soundscapes.  The mix drifts across melancholic strings, minimal piano, subtle vocal textures, and layers of noise, inviting space for reflection and deep listening.

Alongside the mix, there is also an interview where he shares thoughts on his process and approach. You can listen to the mix and read the interview now at https://futurenevercomes.net/
