Fractal Void - Elemental Collection
@fractalvoi_d

Fractal Void is an avant-garde duo based in Düsseldorf, Germany. Their experimental music blends electronic and contemporary genres located somewhere in the field of musical tension between ambient, drone, halfstep and floor-affine IDM. During their live sets, Fractal Void create vertical reflections by processing sounds through software and interaction with real instruments in every unique musical performance like the Chinese contemporary calligraphic practice Dishu.

Their debut album Elemental Collection unveils a dense and lavishly layered transformation of artificial organic signals, sculpting an auditory world filled with emotive landscapes, overgrown polyrhythms and futuristic elements. Embedded within each track are field recordings serving as the heartbeat of the album. Through innovative and expansive deconstruction, Fractal Void create an energetic and sometimes contemplative experience.

The persons behind Fractal Void:
Back in 2008, their musical journey began with winning a Spectrasonics competition using field recordings of a locker door, that was implemented as a bass synth. Their collaboration was continued as producers of the eight-piece electronic jazz project „Mothers of Guru“.

Marcus Scheltinga is a composer, producer and multi-instrumentalist. Besides studying jazz trombone at the Conservatorium Hilversum and the Folkwanghochschule, he works as a musical director, lecturer and coach in 39 countries around the world. From ZDF sound design to live and studio performances with international greats, his own productions have included such as Grammy winner Larry Carlton and Peter Erskine. Mid-east and Indian inspired, Marcus is a true story teller as a musician and composer.

BORGBORG is a producer and DJ. She moves freely in different styles of electronic music with a focus on avant-garde driving techno, dark hypnotic vibes seamlessly blended with deconstructed beats, noise and timeless elements of IDM. She is a member of About Repetition, a group of artists dedicated to the research of repetition through artistic means, collaborating with a wide range of other collectives across Europe and co-founder of the techno event series „SCHLEIFEN“.

Fractal Void - Elemental Collection

There’s something special about clicking with someone musically, aesthetically, and on a human level. That’s exactly how we feel about our collaboration with Mostra Festival, which is entering its third year. We’re thrilled to introduce some of the talent performing at the 2025 edition and to continue this creative exchange with our friends from Spain.

Mostra 2025 happens April 17-20 at two brand-new locations. With two waves of artists already announced, it’s clear that the high bar set by previous editions has once again been met. Expect the finest in ambient, experimental, avant-garde, and techno. The final wave of artists will be revealed tomorrow, February 12—keep an eye on the festival’s socials for the full announcement. More details on the lineup, new venues, and everything Mostra-related will be coming soon to our page.

Today’s guest mix comes from an artist we’ve been following closely: Mariachiara Troianiello, aka Katatonic Silentio. An Italian producer, DJ, and researcher, she moves between electronic music, performing arts, and sound studies, blending abstraction with club energy. Active as a DJ for over 15 years, her sets oscillate between an analog past and a fast-moving future—sometimes dreamy and introspective, other times razor-sharp and unpredictable.
This January, she was part of ExtraMostra event at Berlin’s OHM, where Mostra & Midgar joined forces. Alongside DjSport, Forest Drive West, Keplrr, and Severja, she delivered a mind-bending set in a packed-out club that couldn’t fit everyone who wanted in.

For her guest mix in our series, Katatonic Silentio explores dub techno in her own meticulous way—controlled, intentional, and always with a sense of movement. The first hour plays with restraint, each track given space to breathe, while subtle shifts build an unspoken tension. Just when you think you’ve settled into the groove, she nudges things into unexpected territory—tightening the pulse, throwing in off-kilter patterns, and steering toward a more kinetic, unpredictable second hour. It’s a mix that keeps you on your toes, unfolding with precision rather than force. A refined trip from an artist who never takes the obvious route.
Katatonic Silentio will perform a live set at Mostra 2025.

Delayed x Mostra: Katatonic Silentio

"Flickers of interference, a signal drifting through the void. Distant hums tremble within the static—a transmission suspended in the vast unknown. Then gravity takes hold, and the path becomes clear: a steady motion, guided by the cold glow of the moon. Shifting shadows, uncertain reflections, a descent into depth without losing direction. Echoes pulse with a deep rhythm, and textures unfold like whispers in the dark. The sound is hypnotic, atmospheric. It leads."

Moon Patrol is the musical project of Irina Kotik (@irina-kotik) and Gilles Wasserman (@gilleswasserman), co-founders of the Brooklyn-based platform Delayed (@itsdelayed). Their work has appeared on labels like Oslated, On Board Music, SoHaSo, Huinali, and others. Moon Patrol drifts between frequencies—half dream, half pulse. Shaped by shifting moods and shared silence, their sound moves from warm electronica and lush ambient to shadowy techno and back again.

"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.+

"A gentle forest clearing at golden hour. The filtered sun moves lazily through leaves that rustle with quiet purpose. Somewhere nearby, water trickles over mossy stones, and a bird calls once, then is silent. I sit cross-legged on the soft earth, breathing in the stillness. The music doesn’t impose - it simply exists, like dew or wind, cradling the moment without asking for attention."

Baldman (@baldmankid) is a DJ from Pozoblanco (Córdoba) based in Madrid, known for performing across clubs throughout Spain. His style is twofold: on one side, a dynamic club persona—spontaneous and versatile—ranging from early warm-ups to peak-hour sets, blending classic house, techno, UK influences, and experimental sounds across any BPM. On the other, a more introspective approach focused on mood and context, exploring ambient, ethereal, and experimental music. This duality showcases the depth and versatility of his artistic expression.

Recorded a year ago at Espacio Perpendicular (@espacio-perpendicular).

"Somewhere between collision and decay, voices drift like forgotten codes through a soft magnetic haze. Nothing resolves, yet everything resonates - as if thought itself were folding in slow motion."

vrika (@vrika) is the moniker of Spanish producer Fernando Blanco. His music blends hypnotic rhythms, ambient soundscapes, and organic textures, all infused with a tribal essence. Starting with techno as a foundation, his sound freely explores a range of subgenres. Vrika has released music on Doppt Zykler and other respected underground labels. Currently he is a member of the Espacio Perpendicular collective.

Artist’s Statement:
"The concept behind the mix is a fusion of spoken word and soundscapes that evoke the sensation of particle experiments, creating an immersive and exploratory listening experience."

Set recorded on April 26 at Espacio Perpendicular (@espacio-perpendicular), during a deep listening event featuring Australian artist Gi as a guest, along with other regulars of the space such as Camu, Haara, Doozer Frpinkl, and Muted.

"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.

@vinnavaldyr dj set Grabado en Qualia -  12/04/25  - Espacio Perpendicular

Nada surge meramente de lo complejo, igual que nada es exclusivamente una estructura. Qualia no es solo un evento: es una experiencia en transformación, un espacio donde la creación y la transmisión dan forma a algo único e irrepetible.

Aquí, el instante se convierte en lo esencial. No se trata de cuánto, sino de qué y cómo. Torrentes de energía fluyen a través de diversos medios, donde cada percepción individual moldea y amplifica la experiencia colectiva. Porque aunque nos veamos a menudo, siempre es especial.

Hailing from sleepy Vermont and now based in the beautiful Hudson Valley, our next guest is a talented synthesist, live performer, and DJ. Together with his Delayed family, he’s also the co-founder of the lovely Never Late record label.

Warmly welcoming Griff Fulton, aka Aspetuck <3

“To me, this mix is an homage to my experience at Mostra, distilled into a very short amount of time. I wanted to break it up into a few different moments - ambient, downtempo, and drum & bass. The first two are styles I’ve been dabbling in a lot more recently, but drum & bass is very much new territory for me.

Jay and I first got in touch back in September. When we started discussing a mix, the platform was fully ambient, drone, and experimental, and I had some ideas slowly coming together about what my contribution to the series could be. At one point, though, Jay mentioned we could push my mix back to the end of May - one month after Mostra, a festival in Barcelona we were both really excited to attend. I jumped at the chance because I wanted to see how the festival would influence my mix. It was undeniable that it would focus me in a way I wasn’t quite aware of yet.

Around the same time, Jay decided to open up the platform to some deeper dance floor sounds, which gave me the opportunity to create a mix that builds in energy and unravels over time. I wanted to leave some room at the beginning of the mix for the more experimental sides of ambient that The Observatory is most known for. I included a couple of my own live modular jams from the past couple of months, sprinkled amongst some favourites from artists like Andreas Tilliander, Jan Jelinek, and Shifted.

From there, I bring in some slower tempo, hypnotic, “eyes-closed groove” tracks, as I label them in my Rekordbox. Right around halfway, a Loek Frey track with a nice long intro ushers in a drum & bass / halftime section in the 80/160 BPM range, followed by a brief conclusion.

Recorded in one take earlier this month after a very inspiring trip to Barcelona - thank you, Mostra, for the endless inspiration <3”

Through chaos, cathartic soundscapes, and monolithic grooves, we are excited to introduce Marco Maldarella — @marcomaldarella — for this new episode. Producer and selector based in Bologna, Marco co-founded @sinestesie_s event and mix series. His project is rooted in a multidimensional approach, known for his collaboration with Christian Duka as MARMO, and his solo album Clinamen, released on @omenwapta.

At the crossroads of deep psychedelic techno and tribal sounds, Marco Maldarella dives into the depths of modern electronic music with a fast-paced and intense sonic signature.

For this mix, Marco delivers a raw tribe fast trance experience, where psychedelic elements collide with a dark groove reminiscent of ancient times. Drones, noise, and otherworldly voices define his unique style. The result is an intimate, introspective, and mental journey, featuring many of unreleased tracks.

Marco shares his vision with us : « 𝘙𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘻𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘩 𝘤𝘰𝘢𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘤𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘣𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘯 𝘢𝘹𝘪𝘰𝘮𝘴 𝘴𝘬𝘦𝘵𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘱𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨—𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮 𝘢 𝘣𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘴; 𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘲𝘶𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘨𝘮𝘢.
