We are so thrilled to finally share this deeply touching contemplative mix dreamed up by the ambient duo and E.M.C. (Electronic Music Culture) series founders Nicolò Faggiani and Tommaso Gobbo as Synthbiont & Anassimandrus. This collaborative project converges their shared passion for experimental electronica, meditation and field recording and seeks to immerse us in a profoundly emotional sense-of-place aural experience bound to linger and spill over into days and weeks and months to come 🕊

Weaving together field recordings captured during 2021 with their favourite tracks by artists that most inspire them, the pair are hoping to emphasize the significance of this connection. They prompt us to ponder on how we can improve our ability to listen to soundscapes that surround us and encourage us to improve our relationship with nature by doing so. This is something we feel strongly about and we believe this special mix truly does justice to what that it stands for 🍃 

Just a little short of two hours, this powerful journey starts with a blend of cricket field recordings and a snippet of a speech by the American soundscape ecologist Bernie Krause. From there, the mix glides through icy drones, gentle melodies and percussive interventions intertwined with field recordings of regional waterfalls, early summer morning bird chants and eerie vibrations of a lightning rod on the peak of a Slovenian mountain. And this is only a little part of the story - one that can be expressed with words. All the rest can only be revealed when you take time to dive in and listen, as deeply as you can  🔮✨

a continuous drive conducted by steady grooves and a keen sensitivity.

"Also known as Malii Yorks, I'm an Amsterdam based artist who is passionate about making refined ceramics and composing deep rhythms within the spectrum of techno as a genre. 

This recording shows my love for deep percussive techno rhythms and was made in the period when I was moving to another house and therefore had no studio for a while. It was a warm week with high temperatures so I often sat outside on the balcony with a small controller recording mixes. This one contains some of my favs and some tracks of my own."

EMC is honored to introduce Joachim Spieth!

Joachim is a German DJ, music producer, and label owner who emerged musically in the late nineties and has since developed a multi-faceted spectrum of sound between the poles of ambient and spherical techno. Characteristic of his work is the attention to detail and a sensitive sensorium for the creation of atmospheres, which one can hardly escape, no matter if this takes place in his studio work or his performances.

After several years of intensive collaboration with @wolfgang_voigt’ s @kompakt imprint, he founded his label, @affin, in 2007, which has been constantly developing ever since and has made a name for itself internationally. As a prolific producer, Joachim has released several albums in the past years such as Irradiance, Tides, Ousia, Terrain, and  Reshape project, which features variations of his music tracks by @alvanoto, ASC, @bvdub_music and others. Together with @markusguentner, Joachim recently started a collaborative project, releasing the Overlay album followed by Overlay Variations in which the two artists use the elements taken from Overlay to to create completely new pieces of music.

Enjoy!

E.M.C. atmospheres - Joachim Spieth

We are pleased to have Hypnotic Black Magic join the Unrush podcast series. Based between Berlin and Lisbon, this visionary techno artist is celebrated for her deep, trippy sets that transport listeners through euphoric, hypnotic soundscapes. As the founder of the influential label, podcast, and event series Art Bei Ton, she masterfully intertwines hypnotic sounds, psychedelic visuals, and a commitment to gender-balanced lineups, shaping the underground scene with her unique artistic vision.

Her musical journey, inspired by both nostalgic and avant-garde electronic sounds since her teenage years, revolves around deep techno, ambient atmospheres, and ritualistic rhythms. Her sets, often built on looping patterns, dreamy pads, and groovy basslines, aim to take audiences on a cathartic dance floor journey through meditative states and sensual expressions.

Since launching Art Bei Ton in 2018, she has created a platform for FLINTA* and queer artists, nurturing a community that champions freedom, creativity, and inclusivity. Hypnotic Black Magic is now preparing for her debut EP, expected in 2025...

...
music exists
wether composed or not 
some music is discovered . some imagined
it is possible that some music is never heard  
music is always growing 
it is always greater than the sum of its parts
a tiny seed grows into a large and beautiful plant
sound magic is that seed 
we plant and cultivate 
in order to nourish 
in order to bless life

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.
