Perhaps eternity resides,
In every breath, where spirit glides,
A cosmic dance, a woven thread,
By love and loss forever led.

We're back after a pause, with a deep and majestic live recording by our sister @seffrika at @low-indigo (Vancouver. BC)

Today's guest mix arrives as the perfect soundtrack to these scorching summer days that seem to stretch on endlessly, capturing the vibrant energy and laid-back vibe of the season. We welcome Vakula, a leading figure in the Ukrainian electronic music scene.

The journey began in 1998, behind the decks of a local radio station, where Vakula played drum & bass and trip-hop sets for a handful of night listeners. By 2004, he was already diving into the deep waters of dub techno, drawn not by fashion, but by a persistent inner frequency.
Soon after, Vakula moved to the capital — a city now at war — where he spent eleven formative years. The original plan was simple: earn enough money to reach a Buddhist monastery in Tibet. But life, borders, and timing had other ideas. Instead, he stayed and followed sound.
Over the years, Vakula became part of the underground scene, eventually becoming a resident at iconic clubs such as Propaganda and Zeppelin, while also playing in many of the legendary venues of that era. By 2008, music had turned into a passport, taking him across continents to places where electronic sound truly thrived.
Genre was never a boundary. Jazz, rock, hip-hop, ambient, house, techno, drum & bass — everything served the same purpose: to explore, to feel, to connect. In 2011, he returned to his small hometown and built an analog studio, carving out space to listen more deeply.
Over time, the surface of the global scene began to feel thinner, less sacred. In 2020, he stepped back from performance and immersed himself in a three-year exploration of shamanic practices — not for spectacle, but for personal insight. This inner work changed his relationship with sound, and opened up new levels of depth, stillness, and presence in his music.
By 2025, Vakula let go of the path of the spirits, realizing that some stories are not his to walk. Vakula returned, not to where he started, but to a clearer understanding of his role: to keep listening, to keep creating, and to stay honest in sound.
Through it all, Vakula remains one of the early pioneers and enduring voices in the Ukrainian electronic scene — not the mainstream one, but a world of his own: where forest replaces the city center, where meadows stand in for mindless entertainment, and where trees are steadier than fleeting friendships. His connection to Ukraine has never been about slogans. It’s a quiet, unwavering love — for the land, for the people who still feel, and for his hometown of Konotop, which lives in every frequency he shapes.

Memoirs of a Latent Pharmacologist: Volume 2

Helsinki raised, Paris based Jeku is know for his trippy, psy-infused rhythms, expertly crafted to compel movement and progressively elevate the senses.

With acclaimed releases on labels like Craigie Knowes, Haŵs, and Avoidance, and his most recent EP ‘Twisted Utopia’ on Harmony Records, Jeku continues to push the boundaries of contemporary electronic music.

About the mix: "This mix is heavily inspired by my recent experiences at Pe:rsona and Ozora festivals, which I attended back-to back straight from one to the other. I found a resurgence in deeper and slowly evolving sets which felt so fresh I wanted to channel that energy into this mix. Best enjoyed outdoors or afters!"

With the summer festival season drifting into memory, it feels like the right moment to linger on one of the most thoughtfully shaped events in recent years. The Mostra Festival unfolded over the Easter weekend across two Barcelona locations, and what set it apart wasn’t just the programming, but the curation - a balance of trust, patience, and precision. The first two days leaned toward the ambient and the experimental, tipping into rhythm as the nights wore on. Yet the real magic of that opening stretch lay in the beatless hours. Friday in particular offered a moment that still reverberates among Mostra regulars and beyond: Robert Henke’s performance of Dust. If there is any place in the world designed for such a work, Mostra provided the perfect frame. For one afternoon, Henke held the crowd in complete attention and reverence, something essential for any artist, but especially for one whose work is as delicate, shifting, and expansive as Dust.

For many of us, Robert Henke, Monolake to longtime listeners, has been a constant presence in the background of our musical lives. His records shaped taste, his performances redefined how electronic music could be experienced live, and his role as co-creator of Ableton changed the very tools we use to make and share sound. Few artists can claim such a dual legacy: architect of both the music and the machinery. Whether in moments of joy or frustration, whether in the studio or on the dancefloor, it’s impossible to imagine modern electronic music without his fingerprints on it. Henke embodies the link between technological innovation and artistic expression, and his influence runs deeper than most of us can trace.

Dust is perhaps the clearest expression of that link. Powered by a custom granular synthesis engine, it reduces sound to particles, field recordings, analog tones, machine hiss, bells, and waves, then disperses them into clouds that evolve in real time. The result is less like a composition and more like a living organism: fragile, unpredictable, always becoming something new. At Mostra, this unfolding took shape in late afternoon, after Patrick Russell’s set had sharpened the air with its own restraint. Henke stepped in with a 360-degree surround system that transformed the floor of Fabra i Coats into a resonant body. The sound was cosmic and liquid, grainy and immense, stretching outward until it seemed to erase the horizon. Every surface in the space shimmered with detail, as if the air itself had been tuned. What made it remarkable was how fragile it all felt. Nothing was forced; every movement seemed to arise on its own, like dust caught in late-afternoon sunlight. Yet the immersion was total. People surrendered, leaning into the space as if trying to hold onto something that could never be held. For that hour, Mostra wasn’t a festival anymore. It was a room of people floating together in a world made entirely of sound, knowing it would never happen in quite the same way again.

Delayed x Mostra: Robert Henke presents Dust

@veralogdanidi

To All That We Lose And All We Fight For is the debut album by Vera Logdanidi — the culmination of nearly two decades of musical evolution. Her journey began in the world of drum & bass and jungle, gradually expanding into deep explorations of house, dub techno, and techno. Over the years, Vera has performed on leading stages across Ukraine and internationally, while also mentoring a new generation of DJs and producers, hosting radio shows, and supporting the scene through her label and community work.
This album was written during a time of deep upheaval. The outbreak of full-scale war forced Vera to leave behind a well-established life and begin again on the international stage. While the music often feels dreamy and introspective, To All That We Lose And All We Fight For is a profoundly personal record — a sonic refuge shaped by grief, uncertainty, and resilience.
The album doesn't follow formulas; it’s driven by intuition, texture, and a genuine connection to sound. It's rich, emotional, and occasionally unexpected. The tracks form the core of Vera’s current live set, which has resonated at major festivals such as Draaimolen or Strichka — captivating audiences with its depth and subtle, immersive energy.
The cover art, created in close collaboration with Vera’s longtime visual team, is a real photograph — not a digital effect. It captures the tension between anxiety and hope: a glance back, and a step forward into the unknown. This visual metaphor reflects the emotional landscape of the album — the fragility of what’s been lost, and the courage to embrace what lies ahead.
This release also marks a new chapter for Rhythm Büro Records — one that moves towards music that is more personal, intimate, and unconstrained by expectations.
To All That We Lose And All We Fight For is released alongside another important Rhythm Büro release: RB011 — Your Curves EP by Na Nich. Ukrainian producer Oleksandr Pavlenko, formerly known as Sunchase, returns to his roots in broken beats and bass music, blending them with house and techno sensibilities. The four-track EP ranges from deep grooves to melancholic late-night moods — a compelling counterpoint to Vera’s album and a testament to the label’s evolving identity.

Vera Logdanidi - To All That We Lose And All We Fight For LP [ Rhythm Büro 012 ]

Continuum: a coherent whole characterized as a collection, sequence, or progression of values or elements varying by minute degrees.

We all have core memories of special dancefloor moments. Audience fully hypnotised, beating as one, lost in the music. Pure instinct, and the wildest spirit within each one shining through. Some artists have an uncanny ability to channel that. And today we present 2 masters at making those moments happen, via Perpendicular Festival 2025. Part of the Ouroboros takeover on Friday night, their performance at the event was one for the books. 

Toé, one of the minds behind EWO collectif and the Ouroboros project, has been mesmerising audiences with some stellar performances. A testament to it was her set just a couple days ago on her home turf, when we witnessed her sorcery at the peak of it's powers. With music that taps into the most feral and primal, it's hard to explain the purity of the feelings she conveys with her mixes. One thing is for sure, Toé has an ability to get your inner animal manifest on the dancefloor. 

Vardae needs no introduction at this point. His releases on Samurai Music or Non Series have established him in that "timeless" space of music creators. One to blame for the expansion on half time and dnb sounds into new psychedelic territory. Vardae is at the very front of a movement that unites breaks, tribe, trancey sounds and techno energy into a new irresistible ritual. His live performance gets better every time, and he turned Ouroboros upside down a couple of days ago. 

Together, you can only imagine what these magicians summon with their sonic potions. And Perpendicular was the cauldron in which their perfect mix took shape. Impossible drum patterns, enchanting atmospheres and their particular flare for transcendental sounds. Combined, these two take their wizardry to the highest levels. 

We couldn't be happier to host these two beloved artists, friends and amazing creatives. Inspiring humans that we always wanted to have in our channel. Infinite gratitude to Melu, Cedric, and the Perpen team for letting us host this piece of musical history. This is HUGE.

Mario F ha hecho tantas cosas maravillosas por y para la música electrónica que no nos cabe toda la explicación que se merece aquí… así que os dejamos simplemente con el emotivo texto que nos ha escrito para expresar sus motivos e intención de grabarse el 25º podcast de TILECT:


“𝗙𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗼 𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗮𝗱𝗼 𝘆 𝗱𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼: 𝘂𝗻𝗮 𝗿𝗲𝗳𝗹𝗲𝘅𝗶ó𝗻 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗱𝗲 𝗹𝗮 𝗽𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮


Mi colega David Gozálvez hizo un programa muy interesante para AMEBA Radio, donde conectó música electrónica y filosofía. Entre otros temas, habló del 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘮𝘰 𝘤𝘢𝘱𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘢 de Mark Fisher: esa idea de que vivimos en una condición cultural donde ya no podemos imaginar alternativas al sistema actual. En la música electrónica, esto se refleja en una repetición constante del pasado: reciclamos estilos, sonidos, ideas, en lugar de avanzar hacia lo nuevo.

Aunque este género nació con una vocación claramente futurista —de Kraftwerk al Detroit techno, pasando por el IDM de los 90—, muchas escenas actuales parecen haber perdido ese impulso utópico. Algunos paralelismos con el pensamiento de Fisher:

	•	𝗥𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗮𝗻í𝗮 𝘆 𝗻𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗴𝗶𝗮 𝗱𝗶𝗴𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹: proliferan los revivals de house, trance, breakbeat o jungle, a menudo sin recontextualización. Se buscan texturas lo-fi, plugins que emulan vinilos o cintas como garantía de autenticidad.
	•	𝗟𝗮 𝗽𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗼 𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗲, 𝗻𝗼 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗼 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶ó𝗻: los primeros raves tenían una dimensión comunitaria y política. Hoy, muchas fiestas son simplemente ocio programado, productos culturales más que experiencias transformadoras.
	•	𝗖𝗮𝗽𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗺𝗼 𝗱𝗲 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗮𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘀: algoritmos, métricas y visibilidad en redes condicionan la creación. Lo reconocible, lo “playlistable”, prima sobre la exploración sonora o emocional.

𝗨𝗻 𝗰𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗼 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗵𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗮 𝗹𝗼 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗼

Llevo años coleccionando música de todo tipo, pero últimamente me han atrapado artistas como 𝘓𝘶𝘪𝘨𝘪 𝘛𝘰𝘻𝘻𝘪, 𝘗𝘳𝘪𝘮𝘢𝘭 𝘊𝘰𝘥𝘦 o 𝘝𝘢𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘰 𝘔𝘰𝘳𝘢, y sellos como 𝘏𝘺𝘱𝘯𝘶𝘴, 𝘚𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘢 o 𝘕𝘰𝘯 𝘚𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘴. Desde que fui por primera vez al festival 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗹·𝗹𝗲𝗹 en 2019, el deep techno ha conseguido devolverme la ilusión de los primeros años: sorpresa, descubrimiento, viaje.

Este estilo, cuando se usa para construir historias, puede llevarte por paisajes desconocidos, tanto desde la pista como tras los platos. Desde entonces he conocido a muchas personas en esta misma sintonía, y festivales como 𝗕𝗨𝗚, colectivos como 𝗧𝗜𝗟𝗘𝗖𝗧, eventos como 𝗠𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮 o clubs como 𝗟𝗔𝗨𝗧 se han vuelto espacios familiares y significativos.

Este set es un resumen de ese camino. Está grabado con dos platos 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗶𝗰𝘀, una mesa 𝗘𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗿 𝗪𝗔𝗥𝗠4 y un 𝗥𝗼𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗘𝗰𝗵𝗼 para los delays.
