Our latest Podcast chapter comes in the form of a mesmerising all-vinyl set by the Spanish duo Binomi, interweaving experimental, psychedelic and avant-garde ambient music from across the decades with personal field recordings. Recorded live at the Hangar in Barcelona as part of the 2023 edition of Mostra, it is a dreamy two-hour sound adventure sprinkled thorough with the dusty film of gentle record crackles and pensive undertone. 

"How to translate a friendship of more than 10 years into a mix? After a long coexistence, the pandemic represents a hiatus in our musical relationship. Mostra23 is the perfect excuse and the best stage to resume it. A new sound has emerged in us, complicity, laughter, and goosebumps confirm it. The set configured with 3 turntables and accompanied by field recordings made in Australia and Tasmania form a soundtrack of shared sensations across the distance. Through genres, we define our experiences; new age, drone, experimental or avant-garde music, minimalism, and psychedelia can be its labels. Who knows, we just hope it transports you to places as distant or as close as those it evokes for us. It has been a real pleasure."

Binomi are Jordi Aparicio and Joan Gila, both from Tarragona, Spain. Avid collectors of records, their search for sound brought them together in Barcelona more than a decade ago.

Mix recorded in Hangar during Mostra Festival 2023.

"One day, without thinking, I mixed and recorded what I felt..."

For our next offering, we warmly welcome Tokyo-based DJ, Qmico, who gifts us with a very special listening session. Pure emotional expression through sound. Something that words cannot describe...

Last year, we had the pleasure of hearing Qmico perform an incredible techno set at Annahme festival in Japan, surrounded by the beautiful mountains of Kochi, and bathed in the bright light of the hunter's full moon. A very profound, psychedelic experience. Listening to this mix over the past week has been a really special way of revisiting those memories. It's an honour to now welcome her to the series <3

The Observatory - Qmico

"Two hours of an immersive soundtrack, weaving through ambient frequencies and bursts of pure eclecticism. With great elegance, the narrative of this journey is simply captivating, building to a cathartic release. Two hours of deep listening and total enjoyment, filled with musical gems and honey for the ears."

London native, Barcelona resident, Josh Hoppen (@joshhoppen) is a seasoned DJ, crate digger and part of the team behind Mostra festival (@mostrabcn). Taking his cues from years immersed in dance music culture, his sets unravel connections between genres, where moody soundscapes and atmospheric techno clear a path for crisp breaks and crackling jungle. Josh is also the founder of Seasoned Sound, an exploration project digging through the diverse worlds of jazz, funk, soul and disco to unearth the roots of electronic dance music.

"Oscillating between delicate warmth and subtle tension, this journey weaves through shimmering ambient textures and deep drone layers. Moments of stillness give way to evolving soundscapes - at times bright and expansive, at others restrained and introspective - creating a rich sonic atmosphere that invites both calm and contemplation."

"My experience was rooted in the excitement and nerves of embracing your proposal and stepping out of my comfort zone. Coming more from the dance floor realm, it made me dig through my collection to find tracks that leaned more toward listening. Temple and Espacio Perpendicular are an oasis among all the options we have in Madrid, and it’s clear that it’s also resonating with the audience coming from outside. Infinite thanks."

Li Po Poem

A meditative and immersive soundscape that brings the ancient Chinese poetry of the Tang Dynasty poet Li Po to life. This track is a musical journey, a reflection on the transience of life and the deep connection with nature.

Allow yourself to be carried away by the ambient textures and experimental sonic elements that build a bridge between the East and modern sound design. Perfect for reflection, focus, or simply escaping the everyday.
