Obscure Echoes: Velvia [Perpendicular 2025]

«The Japanese artist OCCA embodies that spirit with his solid trajectory, and his set at Mostra 2025 was perhaps the best example of how an electronic journey can be as original as it is absorbing, as nuanced and layered as it is genre-defying. Tracks unfolded with a sensitivity that challenged the very logic of convention.»

«El artista japonés OCCA encarna este espíritu con su sólida trayectoria, y su set en la edición de Mostra de este 2025 es, posiblemente, el mejor ejemplo de cómo se conjuga un viaje electrónico tan original como absorbente, tan sugerente como lleno de matices y géneros electrónicos, con tracks y una sensibilidad musical que desafían la lógica de lo convencional.»

We are delighted to bring you a gem from this year’s Mostra Festival: a two-hour live recording from Lynne, captured in Barcelona 2025. In this set, she moves with ease through ambient textures, deep basslines, rolling percussion, drones, and surprising rhythms. Her love for drum & bass and dubstep quietly ties it all together.

Lynne’s story began in Tokyo, where a first night raving to drum & bass changed everything. It sparked a move to London, where she soaked in jungle, dubstep, and the UK’s raw underground energy before returning home to shape her own sound within Tokyo’s experimental scene.

Now moving between Tokyo and London, Lynne explores the in-between spaces of techno, experimental, and drum & bass. Her mixes feel like small journeys: thoughtful, a little mischievous, and always true to the rhythms that first lit the spark.

Please enjoy this moment with Lynne’s musical selections - let it unfold slowly, take its time, and maybe surprise you along the way...

Thanks a lot to @lynne-tokyo

Third Space Hybrid Set Recorded 무경계, vurt. (2025.06.28)

83번째 vurt podcast는 호주 멜버른을 기반으로 네오클래식(Neo-Classical)과 드럼앤베이스(DnB)의 경계를 탐험하며 독창적인 음악세계를 선보이고 있는 실험적인 아티스트 Third Space의 90분 세트와 함께 합니다. 이번 에피소드는 지난 6월에 벌트에서 열린 ‘무경계’ 밤에서 녹음되었습니다.

The 83rd episode of the vurt podcast features a 90-minute hybrid set by Third Space, an experimental artist based in Melbourne, Australia, who explores the boundaries between neo-classical and drum and bass (DnB) to create a distinctive musical world.
This episode was recorded during the '무경계' night held at vurt last June.

https://soundcloud.com/3rd-space

Third Space는 폴리 리듬으로 구성된 복잡한 박자, 그리고 흐릿하고 번진듯한 소리의 질감을 통해 의도적인 긴장과 이완을 만들어내는 실험적인 예술가이다. 라이브 공연과 프로덕션 전반에 걸쳐 Third Space는 구부러지고 뒤틀린 사운드, 긴박감 넘치는 서스펜스, 그리고 복잡하게 뒤엉킨 레이어들을 절묘하게 조화시키며 무겁고 기묘한 분위기를 만들어낸다. 그의 공연에서 사운드는 실체적 울림으로 표현되고, 의문을 제기하며, 관객에 의해 재해석 된다. 

Third Space is an experimental artist who creates deliberate tension and release through complex polyrhythms and hazy, diffused sonic textures. Across both live performances and productions, Third Space masterfully blends warped and twisted sounds, intense suspense, and intricately entangled layers to evoke a heavy and uncanny atmosphere. In his performances, sound manifests as a tangible resonance-raising questions and inviting reinterpretation by the audience.

vurt podcast 83 - Third Space (Recorded 무경계 at vurt.)

"From stillness, motion grows. After hours suspended in ambient haze, pulse and movement return - deep, measured, and alive with detail. From layered harmonics to the weight of each kick, the set unfolds like a slow ignition: serious, immersive, and unrelenting in its drive. A live moment at Mostra that reminded everyone where the dancefloor begins."

As a Mostra resident since the first edition, Timnah (@timnah-sommerfeldt) has shown throughout the previous years a great versatility, adapting to any venue and time slot of the festival always brilliantly. After closing Mostra24 in a masterful way, the Swiss artist visited Mostra25 to do a hybrid set with Mario (@mario-7), who also joined Mostra with Varuna (@varuna4053) a couple of years ago in a performance of which we also keep very nice memories.
The hybrid DJ/live set of Timnah and Mario is a match made in heaven, linking top notch selector capabilities to swirling hardware techno aesthetics and flawless execution. Both hailing from Basel, their collab also entangles the two local labels Amenthia Recordings (@amenthia-recordings) and A Walking Contradiction (@awalkingcontradiction). Through their close collaboration with both labels and heaps of collective of studio time, their musical taste and approach have become deeply intertwined, resulting in long build-ups and transcendental sound sculptures.

Mostra (@mostrabcn) is an independent, small-scale festival of avant-garde and experimental electronic music that emerged at 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 celebrate its fourth edition from March 12 to 15, 2026.

Don't miss the 5th edition of Mostra!!

Peter Van Hoesen @ Mostra 2025

Next up in our mix series is Human Space Machine. Hailing from Amsterdam, the dutchman has found his way into electronic music by channeling movement into rhythmical cadences, crafting a sound that exists at the intersection of techno, house, and experimental electronic music. His productions are often trippy yet inviting, and released on respected labels like Nous’klaer Audio and De Lichting, the latter which he co-founded. 

In this mix Mike takes us on a 1,5 hour voyage through moisty atmospheres. Slick underwater grooves meets slimey deep cave techno, in a masterclass of mysterious and murky world-building and slow tension manipulation. Momentum gradually rising, via twisted acid and waterlogged minimalism.

Lack of Fate - The Outerbound

"Under the rain at Ouroboros, the circle turns: droplets on leaves, bass in the soil, rhythm warming the air. What begins in stillness grows into movement, slow and shared. The forest listens, the dancers answer, and the afternoon unfolds in its own quiet loop of renewal."

caroune  (@caroune-dem) is a London-based DJ and the co-founder of Osmura (@osmura) record label, event and mix series. Her versatile sound blends downtempo, dubstep, percussive techno and drum&bass creating immersive, sensorial journeys filled with wonder and uplifting energy. For the past two years, Caroune has played at underground venues in London, Paris and Brussels as well as European Festivals. She will be hosting her next Osmura night at Ormside Projects in London this month where she will be playing alongside international artists. This year, her label launched its first vinyl release with UK-based talent, Sub Basics, and a new VA will be announced soon.

Note: This set has been recorded live in September 2025 at Ouroboros festival in France. I played on Sunday afternoon (my favourite slot!), it was raining so I tried to lift the mood with some dubstep, warm percussion, and deep bass notes. The crowd really connected with the sound and slowly started dancing under the rain...

Deep in the Cantal forest, Ouroboros (@ouroboros-festival) invites you to join the circle. A festival rooted in the woods, where the lines between nature and sound blur gently. It’s an invitation to return, to listen, and to flow with the energy that surrounds us.

"A slow descent into shadow: drones coil like incense smoke, subtle fragments flicker at the edge of perception, and a quiet ritual begins to take shape. The mix moves with the gravity of a half-remembered dream. An abstract journey carved from stillness, depth, and a darkness that never overwhelms, only draws you in."

Yoshitaka Shirakura (@user-309855222) is a Tokyo-based DJ and event organizer specializing in Techno, Ambient, and Avant-garde music. Since 2015, he has been actively booking avant-garde live performances at dance parties, bridging genres and expanding musical perspectives.

Brøther - Diffrent ways same Methods

“ NIL. Evening unfolds in smoke and soft light. Looped guitars, drifting drones, and delicate field recordings carve a vast, meditative space — a live improvisation where intuition shapes every texture. Shadows and melody coil together, dissolving boundaries between memory, sound, and presence, carrying the listener into a quiet, introspective journey.”

Florian aka MORDIO (@mordiomusic) is a Berlin-based music producer and teacher. With years of experience in the field, he is known for his rich sound design in both groovy primal instinct techno and soft meditative texture-based ambient. Alongside his music, he shares his knowledge with the world through online tutorials and courses.

Author's note: It's evening. Guitar, TORSO S4 sampler, SOMA Cosmos pedal. Incense. Candle. Everything on my desk in front of me. I breathe. I connect. I press record. The guitar melody loops, slightly offset, until it becomes a texture placed into a space so vast it transforms into a drone. Here the journey begins. I let go of consciousness and become the medium. No control just intuition. Textures recorded throughout the year, moments from my life, atmospheres. Blended with effects and soundscapes that ease me into meditation. After an hour, I come back. It is what it is. Fully improvised. Left as is. I hope it brings you down in these stressful times.

NIL is the product of this jam turned into an album. It will be available on their Bandcamp.

HOCast #268 - MORDIO - LIVE

With almost 30 years on stage, Berlin’s electronic mainstay Dapayk Solo is back with a new 8-track album that captures everything fans love about him: Minimal vibes, playful experimentation and that unmistakable “Frickel” edge that has become his trademark.
Dapayk Solo — aka Niklas Worgt — has never been one to sit still. From his early days in the ’90s, founding Mo’s Ferry Productions to starting Sonderling Records, he’s shaping the European Minimal scene, his sound has always lived somewhere between the club and the laboratory. 
This new album is a tribute to that evolution. With eight tracks, Dapayk manages to distill decades of experience into a cohesive narrative. 
The record opens with „Bring It Back“, a track that plays with the ultimate withholding of the usual climax and drop — it’s the first of those kind of tracks that pull you in rather than push. As the album progresses, the grooves get deeper, the arrangements more twisted, and the signature Dapayk “Frickel” textures come to life: quirky percussion, clever micro-edits, rhythmic surprises.
It’s a release that shows an artist who’s not trying to reinvent himself — but refine himself. Three decades of live performances have taught him how to build tension, how to break it, and how to craft a sonic world that feels both timeless and fresh.
This album is for everyone who loves electronic music with personality: detailed, warm, a little nerdy, and unmistakably Dapayk.
