"Elegance and precision shape a journey where every detail is placed with intent. Flowing seamlessly yet crafted with surgical finesse, it rides the grooves with absolute control, letting the needles carve a path between momentum and restraint."

Originally from Argentina but based in Barcelona for the past decade, Joaquin Recalde (@joaquin-recalde) has firmly established his sonic identity within the city's vibrant music scene. With a solid foundation built behind the decks at Laut and a residency at Switch Pocket Club alongside Sergi Deckard - where vinyl takes center stage - he has honed his craft, using DJing as both an exploration and a form of expression. Guided by a deep affinity for captivating frequencies, his musical journey is one of constant evolution.

HOCast #235 - Joaquin Recalde

Our first ambient mix in the series is a special one, as we’ve been deep appreciators of the genre for many years.

For this milestone episode, @electronicmusicculture303 founders @synthbiontanassimandrus present an immersive journey through 90s ambient gems, more recent drones, minimalistic passages, and cinematic textures. Recorded live at AMBNTL, the ambient night by Liminoid Collective at OOST in Groningen, this mix creates a space to drift, reflect, and immerse in sound.

DSS 106 comes form across the Canal.
Softi is quickly becoming one of London's most sought-after DJs. With her dynamic sets, seamlessly drifting across different BPM ranges and without being bound to a genre, she manages to keep a unique and psychedelic sound.
Her vision is further extended through her Cozi label, where she delivers ep's, dj-mixes and a residency at the Brussels based Kiosk Radio.

Sarah Wreath has spent years moving through different corners of electronic music, sharpening her craft in deliberate yet effortless ways. Ambient, sound baths, live sets, techno, halftime—she doesn’t just dabble; she inhabits these spaces fully, shaping them with a deep understanding of sound and rhythm. Her range is what sets her apart, allowing her to move between intimate, meditative settings and full-throttle dance floors without missing a step.

Last year was a big one. Her debut album on The Bunker NY hit the right people in the right way, opening doors that led to a standout set at The Bunker party in Brooklyn alongside Nobu, Patrick Russell, and Doltz, a tour through Japan, and a string of upcoming EPs—including one for the legendary Sandwell District, set to drop in just a few weeks.

This time last year, we featured Sarah in our Sundays Are For… series with a beautifully haunting set. Today, she flips the perspective. Her Delayed with… mix isn’t just about atmosphere—it’s about movement. The sound is weighty but fluid, shifting between tightly wound rhythms and wide-open space. There’s a physicality to it, driven by thick, rolling low-end and textures that hover between sharp and submerged. It’s techno built for full immersion, the kind that keeps pulling you in without ever demanding too much.

Sarah Wreath is one of those artists who make techno feel limitless. And if this mix is any indication, she’s only just getting started.

"What truly inspired me? Just the chance to play at Temple… and the fact that it happened to be my dear friend Josephine’s birthday. That alone made it feel really special. I knew that with such a meaningful occasion, a sold-out night was guaranteed—so I had to show up fully, mostly for myself.

Then, when you told me I’d be closing, and that you were feeling downtempo vibes… a whole universe of possibilities opened up. I started thinking about tracks I hadn’t played anywhere else before.

With this kind of set, I always try to open things up stylistically—because the moment asks for it."

Recorded at Espacio Perpendicular (@espacio-perpendicular) during the temple chptr. 8 † celebrating a world of echo † 22·03·2025 w/ ‡ Camu & Joan Gila ‡ Hari Sima & Minim ‡ Symthbiont & Anassimandrus ‡ Utopian ‡ Serious Cut.

#temple_for_listeners is an event dedicated to attentive listening and static dance, curated by Camu and Josephine's Soundscapes for Espacio Perpendicular.+

"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.

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.

HOCast #234 x Mostra - ENA

"The site remains open. A heavy warmth hangs in the air, humming faintly through the layers. Beneath the familiar grain of stratum TD-6, something shifts - subtle, almost liquid. A trace of heat runs across the timeline, unsettling its order. The sediment stirs; a soft crimson flicker rises, then fades. Perhaps Triana, or something far more ancient. The "Estrato Aurora" evolves, unbroken. The rhythm deepens, folding in on itself. The digger no longer seeks - he listens."

Jaime Romero aka Estrato Aurora (@lovebas) is also the half of Pajaro Dune project (with David Ortolá). He has been an integral part of Valencia's underground music scene. Jaime as a Dj and producer has more than 2 decades in the studio working with analogic machines and a whole kind of stuff. He defines himself as an Atmospheric music worker. His line on the last years has leaded to publish on known labels such as: Alpenglühen, Bliq Rec, Appian Sounds, On Board, Dial Rec. Discos Pandémicos, HC Records or Danza Nativa.

This set was recorded during Pepa's birthday! We’re taking the opportunity here at HOC Radio to wish her a happy birthday. From here, these airs that appear throughout the set, Sevillian and Flamenco, also as a dedication to the entire region.
