Vargmal Records w/ Gent at Refuge Worldwide (13.03.2023)

Toner was first introduced to underground music while studying abroad in Taiwan, where he was awakened by modern techno.

After returning to Japan, he became captivated by Tokyo’s club and rave scene, and naturally progressed to become involved with numerous events as both a supporter and music journalist.

Together with Toss and Kaana, he now runs "LIMINAL DREAMS”. A community of enthusiasts, deeply focused on electronic, ambient and experimental music. "LIMINAL DREAMS" pays homage to the psychedelic chill-out culture that has been prevalent since the 60’s.

“Uneven Beauty”

“Recently, I had the opportunity to be surrounded by the beautiful port city of Keelung, Taiwan. It was a very calming and tranquil experience.

During this time, I reflected on a variety of musical experiences in recent years, to explore various sounds for this mix. I wanted to capture the beauty and tranquility of an outdoor music festival and combine it with the beauty of an intimate smoky venue.

I often find beauty in the ephemeral and feel a strong connection between music and the natural world. I hope you can enjoy this mix as a session that transcends time and space between great musicians.

I pay my respects to all of the artists.”

C to the Power of X with Sam Purcell & Mattikk  - 28 August 2023

"Paused and luminous melodies. From the terrace, I see the winter sun gliding low, making the sea water shimmer. The scent of foam reminds me that summer is still a few months away. I don't want to rush; the downtempo sets the pace, and I like that."

Patric Kimman dives into the deeper side of ambient and experimental music in his monthly radio show on South London’s Balamii radio station (@balamii), under his alias Paduan (@padduan). He is also one of the organisers behind the Into the Universes audiovisual event series that focuses on ambient music and moving visual art in Amsterdam. This mix went a bit more into downtempo territory than his normal sonic excursions on Balamii.

"With the invitation to be part of the fourth chapter of Temple, a new perspective on mixing through sonic layers emerges to me. In this listening session, I look for nuances that add light and shadow to a dreamlike tale.
Thanks  to the Espacio to transmit; I invite you all to close your eyes for an hour."

Unfolding the archives from the last couple of months I found another recording intended for those long drives. So this in a way is part II of Expandind Minds In A Flawless Reality.…From hidden rainforests to roaring glaciers. Volcanic landscapes & exotic rivers all in one stretch. Our expedition to the end of the world carried on and so did the music…

This new VA offers a journey through contemporary soundscapes, where sound, texture, and
rhythm interacts with fluidity. Nine productions revolve around a shared balance of energy,
space, and emotional depth, creating a continuous sonic flow.

The journey opens with Cyberlife, delivering a dark, soft introduction, a slowed-down break
with percussive undertones, perfect for easing into the immersion. The energy builds with
Jafadan, driven by a dub groove and resonant toms, gradually adding depth to the sonic
material. Hohe continues the ascent with a tribal, textured track, built on repetition and
vibration in an organic loop with hypnotic tension. Mersel pushes the narrative into an
analog and psychedelic dimension, with massive basses and expansive synths. Solarythm
steps in with a faster tempo and granular, trancy layers, where heavy bass intertwines with a
hypnotic melody. Fonzo shifts the journey into a sci-fi universe, combining break rhythms
and dissonant synths to create an evolving, kinetic soundscape. The duo Sublife (Sub Accent
and Cyberlife) delivers percussive, introspective techno, enriched with airy pads and
breathing analog textures. Yunze Ou initiates the descent with a slow, melodic track, deeply
rooted in deep sensibilities. The compilation closes with an ambient, cinematic track by 矯激
[Radical], whose deep basses open a space of suspension, somewhere between sci-fi and
dreamlike reverie.

𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒎𝒊𝒆𝒓𝒆: Jafadan - 26-50 [CWR011]

Aterral welcomes Swiss producer Rollercone with his new EP Back at Home, a refined three–tracker that drifts between deep house, lounge moods, and intricate percussive grooves. Emerging from Lausanne, Rollercone has long been admired for his warm, textured sound and subtle musicality. We have been playing his music for a while and we are really proud to have him on board.

On Back at Home, he channels that same timeless energy into a modern framework: smooth yet rhythmic, detailed yet effortless. It’s a record that captures the essence of Aterral, quality, deep and soul, crafted for both introspective listening and the dancefloor.
