@vectortrancer_aasudd

Vector Trancer (Aa Sudd) is a spectral being on the constant quest to gather everything hypnotic and irritating that can be found in form of sound waves. Currently operating probes from GER it is drawn to irregular rhythm, psychedelic texture and immersive atmosphere, trying to produce and display that sound to the public by transmitting it, inter alia, through the Mirror Zone.

Human Lessons #053 - Vector Trancer

F-on (@f-ondj) presents MOSTRA Barcelona Festival full line-up.

This is an exclusive vinyl-only session with music from some of the artists from Mostra Barcelona Festival (@mostrabcn). The mix showcases the different styles you'll find at the festival, with a flowing coherence to the sound. It starts with ambient and electronica and continues into a hypnotic, gliding deeper techno sound. The two ABSIS tracks serve as a bridge between styles. The session concludes with broken rhythms of sinuous bass and Lynchian atmospheres. In this special mix, you'll find some of our favourite tracks from the last few years - classics already in the Mostra festival record bag.

Mostra is a brand new small-format festival of avant-garde and experimental electronic music, taking place 11-17 April in open air venues in Barcelona. Mostra is local, inclusive and sustainable: it proposes an alternative experience, providing visibility to artists not often seen in the main venues, and offering a counterpoint to the city's macro-festivals and commercial events. Mostra offers a new way of listening to and enjoying the most forward-thinking electronic music. It's a festival to make a scene. Enjoy and join #MostraBCN this Easter in Barcelona: www.mostra.barcelona

HOCast #100 x Mostra - Mostra Barcelona

This is an exclusive session of Ylia as part of Mostra Barcelona Festival (@mostrabcn) for HOC radio. 
"Like a Moebius work, this seemingly unconnected adventure is a brilliant laboratory of evidence. An asteroid of overlapping worlds, a space for abstract textures created by the eighth passenger, another space for earthly rhythms and songs of minimalist tribes. And so, constant superimpositions and overlaps of conceptual environments that, when you finish and look back, you will discover that there is no disconnection but rather the opposite."

Founder of Animah records (@animahrecords), Ylia (@ylia) is a musician, producer and Dj. She came of age DJing breakbeat raves in Andalucia while studying classical piano at the conservatory, and then moved to Barcelona to study modern composition and arrangements at Taller de Musics in Barcelona, becoming an intrinsic piece of the city musical ecosystem. She released her debut solo album 'Dulce Rendición' at Paralaxe Editions (@paralaxe-editions) while working on collaborative projects with Phran (@phran) as People You May Know (@peopleyoumayknowpumk); and with Darío del Moral under the name Bola del Desierto. She is also a member of experimental flamenco singer Niño de Elche's band, performing keyboards and electronics.

We have been eagerly anticipating the release of this podcast for quite some time. London-based Faery is a friend of Above Below, and we were blown away by her set at The Beacon stage, which marked the closing of Above Below 2022. After a dry weekend, the rain poured, forging the perfect environment for the psychedelic techno on display; it was as if Faery herself summoned the downpour.

Once again demonstrating her capacity to hypnotize, Faery has recorded a soundtrack for swamp-dwellers and forest-inhabitants alike. A transfixing hour of contagious groove and otherworldly sounds.

"Music that transcends mere preciousness; the soundtrack of a rollercoaster, and a creation that goes beyond floating. Music allows for the forging of sensations, weaving journeys of intrigue, beauty, and instability. A "cadavre exquis" of pure abstraction and concept, leading the ear to unusual places. This journey is a magnificent example of these beautiful musical purposes."

hems (@hems) crafts sonic experiences that blend experimental elements from electronica and musique concrète, evoking a sense of mystery as familiar forms transform into the unknown. Over the past few years, Hems has been a featured DJ at numerous events spanning Europe, Asia, and Latin America. His DJ sets have graced prestigious stages, including multiple appearances at Astral Industries, Kizen Records and Vurt events. As a live artist, Hems showcased his talents in a noteworthy project called "The Listening Body", this innovative show brought live drones to life using gongs, singing bowls, synthesizers, and an impressive array of 20 speakers. Additionally, Hems has ventured as a solo artist, employing the immersive 20-speaker system by AMOENUS to create mesmerizing ambisonic performances. Last but not least in 2023 together with Pagan Red, Hems started a new label "Titrate" (@titraterecords) focused on drone and experimental music.

Recorded in the ambient room at Springkell, Scotland, in 2022.

Monochrome 𝖑𝖎𝖛𝖊 𝖘𝖊𝖘𝖘𝖎𝖔𝖓 : Minù Jr • Le Sucre [15.03.24]

@minujr 's words :
"It was my fourth time behind the decks of my favorite club in Lyon and it was my best experience in this place so far. 
I loved spending these three hours and opening the club for @voiski's live set and @sinaxxmusic. 
Starting with deep techno and moving towards something more mental, broken and full of weird textures, using sometimes timeless bangers and new musical weapons. This set was full of spontaneity and that's why it was this good.
Sadly, the record cut somewhere before the end of my set for some reasons but nevermind, feeling really stoked to have these 2,5 hours as a reminder.
Hope that you’ll like it"

olevv is Tokyo/Japan-based DJ, Vinyl collector. While focusing on styles such as techno and house, the music selection includes electronic music and experimental music from the 60’s to the present.

"A space where the pulse of the city merges with sounds dancing between serenity and eruption, like a fractured dream in suspended time. Here, waves of bass envelop you, while rhythms twist free from the bounds of time and space, leaving you adrift in a sonic universe that refuses to be entirely predictable."

Warm, emotive, and explorative - a set of characteristics that make up the enchanting vision of Zara (@zaraolsen), one of the most exciting talents hailing from the Australian scene. Whether it’s IDM, drum and bass, or techno, the Kinesis label-head fuses it all with an enigmatic sense of delicacy. Her distinctive sound on the crossroads of the calm and the energetic resulted in releases on labels such as Animalia, Salt Mines, and Pure Space. Her sets have been turning heads within the international electronic music scene, playing at places like De School, Tresor, and Donato Dozzy’s Spazio Disponsible label showcase. Harmonizing the ethereal and the ominous - Zara takes a gentle yet firm grip on minds and souls on and off the dancefloor.

Mostra (@mostrabcn) is an independent, small-format festival of avant-garde and experimental electronic music which emerged by the end of 2021 as a counterpoint to the macro-festivals and the overcrowded, commercial and impersonal offerings of other large events held in Barcelona. Mostra will be celebrating its fourth edition from 17 to 20 April in 2025.

"A journey through rhythmic and sonic experimentation - pulsating frequencies, evolving atmospheres, and shifting patterns. An intricate and unconventional exploration, where complexity meets bold innovation. A complex, intriguing, and electrifying experience."

gi (@gistrung) is a musician from Gadi (Sydney). Her sound blurs the outer limits of drone, idm and techno, interested in how generative sound design and asynchronous repetition can coalesce to create emotional music. Following self-released sketches in 2022, and contributions to compilations by Comic Sans Records (FR), Pure Space (AUS), Twin System (UK), Companion (AUS) she released her debut EP on Altered States Tapes in October 2023 and follow-up liveset EP on Beyond the Bridge (Seoul) in March 2024. In 2024 gi presented her debut album on Absorb (AUS) and launched the World of Knots label, while continuing to refine her unique style of warehouse oriented experimentalism, across live and DJ sets.

"Slow, smoking cadence. A spiral of textures, layers, and loops that form an intricate, singular magnetic field - perpetually intriguing. An introspective and one-of-a-kind work of art."

ENA (@ena-iai) is a music producer from and based in Tokyo. He is a major player in the Japanese underground dance music scene for more than a decade. Taking influences from early drum & bass productions, rave sound and abstract hip hop, ENA is recognized for his tight production techniques and massive audio dynamics. Uncompromising, forward thinking and unique, his releases on 7even Recordings, Horo and Latency brought international attention and have led to collaborations with like-minded virtuosos such as Felix K and Rashad Becker which were both invited to perform on the main stage of Berlin Atonal festival (in 2016 and 2017 respectively.) As a DJ, he has been playing regularly in the main clubs in Tokyo such as Unit, Contact, WWW and Club Asia as well as underground haunts like Forestlimit and Soup for many years. His expert music selection and technical excellence continues to impress the audience in and outside of Japan. Having toured Asia and Europe numerous times and appearing in wide range of prominent international festivals such as Berlin Atonal, rural, Fibre, Mapping and Sun and Bass in the past few years, he is establishing himself as a singular performer fitted to deliver a primetime rave set to a gritty basement fix to abstracted sonic experiments.
