Podcast Series

IE x Netil Radio

The last Introspective Electronics chapter of 2021 is a truly special one for us. It doesn’t often happen an artist makes a truly deep mark in such a short amount of time. We discovered the work of Inhmost earlier this year through his incredible album ‘The Meaning Of…’ out on the powerful Bern outlet re:st and never looked back. Due to a string of fortunate circumstances, we had a chance to become a sort of online pen palls and started weaving a friendship together which was leading the way to the release of this incredible mix you are listening to now ✨🌚🌝✨

Inhmost is an ambient project of UK-based Simon Huxtable who made a significant impression on the late 90s downtempo-infused D’n’B scene as Aural Imbalance. Apart from his LP out on re:st, he has released on Oslated’s dub ambient sub-label Huinali, Toronto-based Stasis Records and has collaborated with Auxiliary’s boss ASC on two long-players released on the label this year  ✨

This chapter of our Podcast Series is a tour de force of gently drizzling emotions that patiently and tenderly unfold from the meddle of rich soundscapes made up of the elements - ether, water, earth and fire. Each track is flowing seamlessly into the next on this journey that oscillates in time with the circle of breath. One wonders what might happen if we close our eyes and let all the impressions turn into feelings, let them roam free. One wonders…

Podcast Series 19 | Inhmost

We have been eager to share this new chapter of our Podcast Series with you for a little while. It comes courtesy of the Basel-based Timnah Sommerfeldt, the empress of all things occult and hypnotic in the realm of electronica 🔮

Part of the well-respected amenthia recordings crew, co-host of Home Radio she runs together with Garçon and a resident at Elysia ~ arguably one of the most loved clubs in Europe ~ Timnah is a well seasoned DJ with strong sensibility in navigating the the deeper, headier waters of techno and atmospheric bass 💫

Timnah’s introspective contribution is a perfectly balanced blend of deep, aqueous drones and murky downtempo carving out and holding space for the patiently emerging stormy rhythms taking the reins for most part in the second half of the mix. Time to brace yourselves for a one way journey into the maelstrom. Safe travels, friends 🌝🌚

Our latest Podcast Series chapter comes courtesy of the Melbourne-based musician and label head ~ other joe 🤍

We discovered Joe’s work through the “.jpeg Bushfire Relief” charity compilation released on his inimitable .jpeg Artefacts label back in 2020 and never looked back. The release, as well as the general label curation, exudes uninhibited talent and diversity and this is true for Joe’s own productions too. His blend of jazzy acoustic passages with hazy, oozing electronics, spoken word and field recordings make for incredibly immersive and emotional listening experiences 🫧

Joe’s introspective mix is taking us on a voyage through all his various influences by bringing together electro-acoustic downtempo experiments, jazzed-up electronica and tingly, softly bubbling glitch ambient. All with a sprinkle of gentle euphoria, tender melancholy and just pure bliss ✨

We are very happy to be able to bid farewell to this year of Introspective Electronics with a deeply personal podcast recorded by the sonic enchantress and a dear friend ~ Amanita 🕊️

Amanita is a DJ and event ptomoter based between Bologna and Berlin. She co-runs the forward-thinking collective and party series Sinestesie in Bologna and across Italy, bringing off-kilter programming to the somewhat homogenous scene of her home city. Alongside her music work, she often works as a stage designer with the Googy Cult project. For Anita, ambient represents the most spiritual part of her sound and soul. It’s where she finds a safe haven and where she always returns when she needs to heal and find inspiration both in music and in life 🔮

This journey, just shy of an hour, was recorded in Anita’s studio in Berlin on a four deck setup and includes some of her most close-to-the-heart records, some of which have been with her since day one. It is a deeply captivating and emotional piece of ambient storytelling, a fairytale of sorts, that hums and crackles and sparkles. That whispers in your ears ancient tales of forest fairies and magick rituals 🧚🏻‍♂️

Podcast Series 40 | Amanita

The first podcast of the year features our dear friend, London-based DJ, and sound artist, Faery. Many of you are likely familiar with her work and may have experienced her enchanting performances at renowned venues like Amsterdam’s De School, Positive Education Festival, or London’s Village Underground. She has crafted an immersive, hour-long winter mix for us, which we are incredibly proud to present 🕯️

Faery’s hypnotic selections blend the psychedelic depths of deep techno, tripped-out psy-influenced sounds, dark vortex-like D’n’B, and experimental ambient. Her sound navigates through intricate sound design and rich, moody textures, both within the club realm and in listening scenarios. One of the notable examples of this is her ambient sound art project Bio-17 released last year, where original biorhythmic samples are woven into experimental ambient to create speculative sonic worlds 🌚✨

Faery’s profound introspective journey takes us through the shadowy realms of crepuscular ambient and downtempo. From the outset, we are lured and caught in its rich honey-like currents, spiralling like dervishes as we dive deep and deeper into the mystical sonic gyre. No words can do the sensation justice, so you’ll just have to try for yourselves. Happy swirling 💫

Introspective Electronics w/ Avsluta x Netil Radio | April 24

For the 44th instalment of our Podcast Series, we are bringing you a spectacular hybrid mix by the Italian DJ and producer Notte Infinita 🌚

Notte Infinita is Giovanni Bonelli, a multi-faceted artist with strong affinity to bass as he explores the physicality of sound through his productions and sets nodding to sound system culture. He  has put out releases on the UK-based labels INDEX:Records and Oscilla Sound, both well known for their fiercely independent approach to genre-hopping hybrid club and experimental curation 🫧

Giovanni recorded a masterfully crafted hybrid mix teeming with his very own ambient-leaning productions paired with carefully chosen music from other likeminded artists. Guitar recordings softly gliding through patches of drones, gentle glitches and guided meditations, all with a common thread of tranquility. This is a mix meant for horizontal listening and journeying with eyes closed, inviting to deep reflection and meditation 🪷

We are incredibly proud to present this new journey in our Podcast Series recorded by one of our favourite artists, the Barcelona-based DJ and producer Savlador Coromina aka ABSIS 💫

ABSIS needs little introduction for anyone closely following the Spanish deep electronic music scene. Salva is a multi-faceted artists with a consistently impeccable output crisscrossing through genres including drone ambient, hypnotic techno, progressive downbeat and intricate atmospheric half-time. For his most recent release, he returned to the local Hivern Discs and has previously put out music via Oslated, Affin, Secuecias Temporales, Crescent London and the HOC Radio affiliated red edge (a label we recommend checking out if you’re not yet familiar) ✨

Nearly two and a half hours long, this recording showcases Salva’s deep sensibility to commanding energy within a mix, holding it back and releasing as he plays with tension and truly tests the frontiers between ambient and dance music. It is a testament to how reframing genres and introducing them in different contexts can completely alter the way in which we perceive them and how a well researched and carefully executed mix can transcend any preconceived ideas about these. This approach is harmoniously aligned with our vision and we couldn’t be more excited for you to embark on this incredible sonic adventure. Buckle up for the ride! 🌀

As we gently slide into Autumn and the days get shorter and evenings cosier, we are excited to share with you the next chapter of our Podcast Series by the Amsterdam-based artists Paduan 🧙🏼‍♂️

Paduan is Patric Kimman, DJ and curator with firmly rooted attraction to the deeper side of electronic music. He is most at home playing musically meandering sets filled with drone textures and subtle melodies, with hints of concrète elements and natural sounds, a sonic direction that persists both in his monthly radio show on London’s Balamii as well as the event series Into the Universes he co-curates back home in Amsterdam 🐚

Patric’s contribution to the Introspective Electronics Podcast Series is a live recording from this year’s Perpendicular festival, an annual gathering of fellow deep music lovers in the beautiful nature of central Spain. This journey takes us on a pensive stargazing adventure across vast ambient planes cloaked with blanket of dark blue sky full of twinkling stars above ✨

Introspective Electronics w/ Avsluta x Netil Radio | Oct 24

For the 48th instalment of our podcast series, Introspective Electronics founder Lucie Stepankova aka Avsluta steps in with a live recording of her DJ set at last month’s Ambient Tide, a Brussels-based listening event series run by our dear friend and fellow ambientist Kato De Vidts. We couldn’t imagine a better setting for this set to take place ~ the floor fully covered in rugs and cushions, low hanging lanterns emanating soft warm light, the scent of palo santo drifting through the air and focused audience listening with patience and curiosity 💆🏻‍♀️

Avsluta is a London-based producer, DJ, live performer and event curator navigating the liminal spaces between ambient and dance music. For the past 8 years, Lucie has been deepening her musical knowledge working behind the counter at Phonica Records, catering to London’s ambient and downtempo heads on most Saturdays and making a few good friends along the way. She runs Introspective Electronics as is actually the person writing this text, which does feel a little awkward but it has to be done. Together with her friend Alicia, she runs Terra Obscura, aiming to make clubbing cozy and on ocassion, curates solo or collaborative ambient events as part of Introspective Electronics ✨

Just shy of two hours, this mix weaves a thread of hopeful softness made for moments of deep relaxation and focus. Voices and gentle rhythms ebb and flow atop lush drones, giving way to arpeggiated passages, spoken word and field recordings. Recommended listening at dusk, in a candle-lit space, floating on a pile of cushions and wrapped in fluffy blankets with a mandatory cup of steaming tea 🍵

Recorded live at Ambient Tide in October 2024

Introspective Electronics w/ Alicia x Netil Radio | Nov 24

Camu is next up on our Podcast series with a bewitching recording from last years Springkell gathering. The setting is a dim lit, softly furnished room of a Scottish rural estate with a fireplace gently crackling and whispering into the space. Everyone is quiet, sitting or laying still and diving into the sounds emanating from all four corners of the room, fully immersed in the ritual of communal listening 🐚

Camu is a Spanish born and based artist pulling at the deeper strings of ambient, drone and sound art informed electro-acoustic music. He is the co-founder of Madrid-based event space Especio Perpendicular that he co-runs with local group of fellow deep music enthusiats. Highly recommended for anyone in or visiting Madrid and looking for a night out of the ordinary 🌚✨

Charging headstrong into the cavernous spaces filled with drones, overheard field recordings, sounds hanging in earshot by the faintest thread, this journey is at the same time fragile and powerful. The dynamics flow with intent from barely audible to overwhelming, from fluid to abrasive, no stone left unturned in this microscopic survey of sound and emotion 🕯️

Marking the 50th installment of our Podcast Series is a contribution from our good friend, the London via Manchester DJ and producer Alex Parkin aka Einerlei 🧙🏼‍♂️

With his original music featured on labels including Norite, On Board Music, Control Freak or Sungate, he is a shapeshifting artist equally comfortable dishing out intricate techno bangers (as we’re sure he’d put it himself) as he is weaving emotive ambient-scapes into long form compositions to soothe the soul. Elements of contemporary UK sound and IDM are strongly present in Alex’ productions ~ with their clubbier iterations leaning towards the deeper realms of techno and his ambient sound permeating a sense of deep feels shrouded in mystery 🧘🏽✨

Einerlei delivers over an hour of soothing ambient and downtempo alive with air of mysticism and deep set intrinsic rhythm. Effortlessly floating effervescent clouds of drones are home to voices and utterances oozing seemingly from within their soft intangible depths, patiently holding space for rhythmical energy to grow and release…until the celestial calm reigns again towards the very end of this sonic journey ☁️

Introspective Electronics w/ Avsluta x Netil Radio | Jan 25

A long time coming, this new chapter in our Podcast Series comes from our dear friend and one of our favourite live artists, dan nicholls. We’d have a hard time counting exactly how many times we’ve seen them concoct their colourful sonic potions, effortlessly merging multi-layered depth with soft playfulness, oscillating between meditative horizontal sounds, spoken word and field recordings and high energy bass infected half & double time dance workouts. To witness an artist in pursuit of their genuine expression succeed in building a world of their own while being versatile and open is a beautiful thing to behold and we feel so lucky to be able to share this little peek into Dan’s workshop, in the form a live set recording from Brussels’ Brasserie Atlas ✨

dan nicholls is a producer and multi-instrumentalist exploring sounds at the crossroads of ambient, electronica, jazz and free improvisation. Over the years, Dan has moved on from a career in jazz, via electronic music, to a heartfelt embrace of rave culture and the feminist and queer theories which are all strongly present in the current iteration of their solo projects and collaborations. With a powerful grasp on world building with, through and beyond sound, they co-curate the London-based Free Movements - a multi-sensory event series hosting genre fluid experimental music performances crossing both acoustic and electronic realms 🔮

In the true spirit of their highly collaborative workflow ~ always in the process of making with and through people and other-than-human critters, culture & politics ~ this improvised recording features voices of tyroneisaacstewart, Lauren Kinsella, Juju Love, Moor Mother, Gillie Nicholls, Janet Blake and Palestinian activist whose words contribute in different ways to amplifying of marginalised ideas. And it seems that for every word, there is a sound to match, a little something that carries its weight, gives it a warm embrace and lets it slip in our ears with tenderness and gravity to be remembered through feeling. There’s only one way to know and that’s to press play and listen 🐚

Kosmic Skaut graces us with a truly stunning mix recorded with tender loving care for the 52nd chapter of our Podcast Series. The Prague via Brno based artist has been a kindred musical soul and a friend for a long time and we’re so happy to finally welcome him to our cozy lil family circle 🤍

Mikuláš aka Kosmic Skaut goes slow and steady behind the decks, interlocking psychedelic, acid-tinged and hypnotic sounds in his DJ sets spanning multitudes of ambient and dance music genres. For Mikuláš, music is all about collectivity and togetherness ~ a takeout from his early years as a boy scout. He materialises this spirit in projects including organising festival Michalský Výpad in Olomouc, co-running the notorious ÉTER collective in Brno and regurlarly putting on his Kosmic Care events at Ankali’s Planeta Za which he always ~ as an aspiring chef and baker ~ supplies with tasty homemade snacks. Once you try his pizzenka (the cute way to say pizza in Czech) and this delicious mix, there’s no coming back 🍕

In this chapter of our Podcast Series, we plunge head first into the deep end of ambient psychedelia as we take off on this phenomenal voyage through Kosmic Skaut’s wild and wonderful imagination. As we move through the mix, so it moves with us, allowing for softness to emerge in waves of amorphous drones melting into one another, layered with textures, field recordings and electro-acoustic instrumentation in the build up to the rhythmical crescendo that sees it conlcude 🌬️

For our March introspective radio show, we had the pleasure of welcoming an old friend of ours, Casper Clark aka Volte-Face to take you through two hours of ambient & downtempo selections from his sizeable collection of music for curious ears 💫

As expected, things got pretty interesting on air at Netil Radio that Thursday afternoon and we are so happy to finally be sharing the recording of the show with you today. It’s a smooth voyage departing from the misty ports of spacious drones and sailing patiently into the deep ocean waters of progressive half time and dusty alternative experiments ⛵️

Volte-Face, a moniker of BleeD promoter/label-head Casper Clark, was a fixture on the European techno scene from 2014-2019, with his own productions (also as Rote alongside Daniel Avery) appearing on labels such as Semantica, Phorma and Non-Series His BleeD imprint also released material from the likes of Wata Igarashi, DJ Nobu, Refracted and Svreca, and he played regularly for the likes of Berghain, fabric, Tresor and Khidi . After an enforced hiatus , he's started to rear his head again with a recent mix for Oslated and a forthcoming ambient session for Deep Breakfast Series. He's also been hosting his own Through The Wreckage ambient mixtape series on Soundcloud, which is updated regularly.

We are so happy to kick our Podcast Series back into gear with a long anticipated recording from the UK-based duo Plantera called 'Cosmozoa' ~ based on theories of intergalactic spores transferring life to other planets 🌱

I met Lewis and Mason last year at the intimate Sonic Rites gathering, nestled in the wilds of the beautiful Welsh countryside. Smitten by their soothing afternoon set, I knew I needed to approach them and ask if they’d be keen to record a mix for the series ~ and they said yes 💍

So here it is, a magical musical offering born out of synergy between two close friends sharing deep understanding of and passion for music that touches the soul and soothes the mind. And what better time to dial
in this hour and a half journey than after the long weekend of Bank holiday frolics. Sit back, close your eyes and let it take you on a comic ride through soft edged ambient and downtempo psychedelia 💫

The guys also shared a little message for us too to accompany the mix: “Join us on this journey of cosmozoa; ejected into the ether from unknown coordinates, floating aimlessly through primordial dust until being grasped into the orbit of Plantera - gliding through the atmospheric haze before breaking out into blissful serenity, absorbing the sights and sounds of this unfamiliar world while sailing on it's winds"

We could not imagine a more fitting Podcast Series contribution to soundtrack the peak of our of summer than this lush dubby mix recorded by the New York via Chicago DJ & productress Eden Aurelius 🦋

Back in April last year, the inaugural record on the Glaswegian label co:clear lands in the crates at Phonica Records and it steals the show. It was the debut release by Eden Aurelius titled ‘Plateau’ with it’s soft-edged downtempo take on dub techno dancing through clouds of ambient textures and perfectly embodying that netherworld in between ambient and dance music that is the beating heart of Introspective Electronics. Over a year later, we are so grateful and proud to have Eden feature on our Podcast Series with this stunning hour-long recording 💕

Nothing else to do now but to plunge into the dubwise depths of this magick mix where tender energy ebbs and flows in the spaces between not-quite-ambient and not-quite dance. It’s in the liminal space of the soft cracks in between. Aren’t you curious to hear? ✨

Feeling incredibly proud to share this new chapter in our Podcast Series, a profound and powerful mix from the dearest Lou Drago, an artist and human we deeply admire 🤍

Lou is the host of one of our favourite ambient shows @transience-archive which airs monthly on Berlin’s Cashmere Radio to provide listener with a much needed relief from anxiety and together with marum they host sonic-seances under the name @infinity-rug 🫧

Lou believes in the transformative potential of sound and the importance of deep listening. Whether that is listening to each other, our needs or to the sounds around us. In their sets they often explore the sonic landscapes of the in-between, where the listeners perspective dictates the experience, yet holds them in a warm embrace to invite a deep dialogue with the listening body-mind.

✨ In Lou's words ✨

like many of us, my heart has been red with grief-rage witnessing the ever-escalating genocide in Gaza. this mix starts with an invocation for the liberation of the Palestinian people, a struggle that omits none of us if we wish to be truly free. 

the slowly evolving sound journey takes us through several realms and phases of introspection, ghosts of the past lingering in melodies they never heard. sonic energies condensing and expanding, offering spaciousness for contemplation and being with whatever arises.

meandering through earthly realms, through the riparian zone, swamps, and forests we meet with mournful spirits in her gut, casting our attention on the multiplicities of loss we are facing. yet in the shade there are angels, who remind us that we have been doing this for many, many lifetimes. ‘keep on’ they seem to whisper. 

eventually we arrive to the sunset inside, where the Grand River’s winds meet the horizon, guiding our gaze upward toward the night sky where the mysteries of the celestial bodies radiate, Lyra’s visions casting an empowerment spell for all those who listen. 

may we each grow ever surer of our paths, finding creative and yet unimaginable ways to continue our collective struggle for the liberation of all sentient entities, until we are all free.

love, 

lou drago

We are very happy to present you with the 56th chapter in our Podcast Series today, a powerful deep listening mix recorded live at Perpendicular 2025 by our dear friend ~ Horizontal. Setting the scene, imagine yourself laying down comfortably in a wooden cabin deep in the woods at night time, in profound communion with your fellow listeners and letting the sounds collective carry you inwards 🌚✨
 
I first met Paul two years ago playing at one of my favourite ambient rooms at a small gathering in Scotland, then again last year at Backsteinboot in Berlin where we both played as part of an all night sleepover ambient event Rausch. Both times, I was mesmerised by the composure and depth of Paul’s music and demeanour, two qualities that truly shine through in this sublime mix probing the realms of drone ambient, minimalism, avant-garde and electro-acoustic composition 💫

This hour and a half of slithering drones, liquefied glitches, deep nocturnal soundscapes and ritual sonics is occasionally punctuated by narration. It ebbs and flows between barely audible and fiercely present as it deliberately stretches the scope of listening with its passage. The further in you listen, the deeper in you go 🔮
