IDO returns with the second chapter of Transcendental Movements – a series dedicated to active meditation and deep listening. Active meditation is a practice of fully inhabiting the movement of sound. Instead of seeking absolute silence, it invites you to dive into textures, to be carried by frequencies, to follow oscillations like a breath. Every vibration becomes an anchor point, every resonance a gateway inward. In a world saturated with noise and anxiety, this approach offers a space to refocus the body and calm the mind. Here, listening is not passive: it’s an awakened trance where tensions shift and dissolve, leaving only a pure sense of presence.

For this second volume, Valentino Mora has gathered a new ensemble of artists exploring the frontier between intimate perception and sonic landscape. The compositions – slow and organic – unfold like micro-universes, at times ethereal, at times dense, designed to guide the listener on a sensory journey that transforms anxiety into movement, and movement into inner peace. Transcendental Movements Vol. 2 is an invitation to listen differently: not to escape, but to return to yourself.

The aim of "RELIEF" is to bring together different music genres and sound textures, to explore notions of (a)synchronicities and flow, the dynamic potentialities of the one-hour mix format, to create a narrative that is literally in relief. Considering “errors” as opportunities, RELIEF navigates between poetry, experimental music, field recording and the dancefloor. RELIEF plays on the two meanings of the word relief in French and English: on the one hand, relief is that which stands out from a surface - the sound wave being like a landscape - and on the other, it is a feeling of relaxation after great stress.

Recording of Ulla & Perila's set at the UFO II stage during Dekmantel Festival 2025.

Ulla & Perila at UFO II - Dekmantel Festival 2025

We’re beyond excited to share a brand-new 90-minute mix from Narathip, a long-time friend and supporter. From his days working with Dekmantel to building his ever-inspiring Rhythmic Culture platform, Narathip has consistently championed forward-thinking sounds and community-driven projects, something we’ve always connected with. It feels special to host him here with a mix that captures his signature flow: syncopated percussive bass, half-time/double-time momentum, and cutting-edge sound design tied together with groove and finesse. Big love for everything he brings!

KARA KAISER.
"My paintings and drawings isolate moments of peak suspense within cine-
matic and animated narratives—the charged seconds immediately before,
or after, impact, explosion, or climax. Tension has been built but resolution
remains uncertain.
By appropriating imagery from film and cartoons, I play with collective media
literacy while disrupting linear storytelling. The familiar becomes estranged
when divorced from narrative continuity, creating spaces where viewers are
encouraged to project their own interpretations onto fractured sequences.
This practice questions the authority of prescripted meaning, asserting the
primacy of individual reading over intended conclusion.
Through traditional mark-making, I translate digital movement into analog
stillness, establishing a dialectical relationship between medium and mes-
sage. Each work functions as both homage and intervention—acknowled-
ging the cultural power of mass media while claiming interpretive agency
and the fertile uncertainty of the unresolved"

"I’ve put together a two-hour mix made up of music that has shaped me as an artist and once gave me a powerful creative push. It starts with broken beats and early IDM — that’s the era where my journey into electronic music began, with sounds from labels like Skam, Warp. Alongside that, there’s hip-hop blended with illbient in the style of DJ Spooky or DJ Krush. All of this shaped my love for slightly dark and strange sonics, but always with rich sound design and a beautiful urban atmosphere.

When I was 16-17 I started going out to clubs, and I was always drawn to tracks with subtle groove, micro-details, metallic or dreamy and lush sounds — all stripped down to the bare essentials. Back then, I didn’t even know it was called minimal and dub techno.

In short, the first half of the mix represents what eventually became qwqwqwqwa, and the second half — kvisha."

ENJOY.
