Straight from the depths of Paris’ underground, Solma (@solmadj), co-founder of @virtualforestrecords, brings us a refined yet unassuming take on electronic music. His productions, meticulously crafted over the years, blur the lines between deep techno and UK bass, creating immersive soundscapes that invite you to dive deeper into the music.

For this mix, Solma invites us into a rich, atmospheric journey. It begins with introspective grooves and textured soundscapes, slowly unfurling into hypnotic rhythms and deconstructed beats. From ambient calm to irresistible basslines, this set captures the ebb and flow of a night spent lost in sound, where every moment feels like a sensory revelation.

Expect an evolving sound narrative that speaks to both the head and the dancefloor, all delivered with Solma’s signature subtlety and precision.

all snug and warm for the onset of winter. 

“Recorded in the later hours of an autumn evening, surrounded by candlelight and burning incense, I wanted the track selection to reflect the slower, introspective pace of the changing seasons. 

By blending the elements of ambient, dub and downtempo, my intentions were to create a woven soundscape that invites the listener to journey inward, evoking a sense of transcendence, whilst being deeply rooted in the presence of now.”

nunsen·tape 21 - Gillan

For our twenty-first instalment we've invited Clarence Rise, a French deep techno producer and DJ.

His compositions combine complex rhythmics with organic sound design, diving listeners in hypnotic, immersive soundscapes. He creates textured, crackling, sometimes syncopated techno, while also exploring the depths of Deep DnB and Tribal sounds. 

His work is a constant quest for raw emotion and subtle intensity, offering experiences both mysterious and captivating, shaped to resonate as much in clubs as in the intimacy of personal listening

About this particular mix he said the following:
“It was recorded with a focus on the following three axes: rhythm, intensity and emotions. In contrast to the more techno podcasts I record, here I intended to visualize the movement the sound could create on the body that listens to it. A dance sometimes slow, fast, syncopated, with pauses and quick restarts, exploring a rich palette of emotions.”

𝐏𝐑𝐄𝐌𝐈𝐄𝐑𝐄 |  Toki Fuko - Rhapsody [spclnch]

Unsur is like a rite of passage, a symbol engraved in desert sand. Four tracks, each inspired by an element, like fragments of an ancient language reawakened by technology.

This EP’s origin lies at the heart of La Vallée Électrique festival. There, in the intoxicating heat, within a community transcended by dance, music revealed itself as a ritual, a passageway to a sensory elsewhere. Unsur bears the imprint of this dialogue between machines and a forgotten world, where psychedelia becomes an experience and mysticism a texture. 

This language finds a natural echo in Gaspard Polar, who has travelled through these sonic lands and whose vision is sculpted from the same collective energy. By reinterpreting one of these fragments, his remix slows down the cadence, as if to better reveal the tribal pulsations that resonated beneath the festival's vibrant canopy.
