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 🌝🌚

Podcast Series 29 | Timnah

Time to share the 21st Herbarium episode with you, this time we warmly welcome our talented friend and artist @caldera-caldera from Brighton. He curated a fantastic journey between deep and subtle textures combined with delicate harmonic glimpses into other worlds.

Caldera chose the European Ash for his mix, here is why:
I chose Fraxinus excelsior since I always admired how the light shines through the leaves of those trees and it has always made me in awe of them. I've been fortunate enough to have been living opposite a little forest that consists of many Ash Trees, so it's been my studio view since moving here 9 years ago and a steady source of subtle inspiration. (The first track includes a field recording of this forest)
For this mix I tried to capture the sound and movement of this plant in the wind which is why I choose tracks that include long pads and reverberend sounds as well as music that has some kind of sprinkly patterns representing the more in depth movements and interplay of the many small leaves.

Herbarium No 21 - Caldera - Fraxinus Excelsior

“I’ve crafted this mix with dubby rhythms and hazy, melodic textures to offer you a space for relaxation and reflection. With all the deception and darkness in the world today, I wanted to share a bit of calm - a way to escape the noise and find some clarity. This mix is my own response to everything that feels overwhelming, an invitation to just breathe, reconnect, and ground yourself. The more we feel connected and strong, the better we can help others. I hope these sounds carry you to a place of inner peace, where calm rises up through the haze…”

Deep Breakfast 303 ~ Kim Kenis

Muted@Hummø #02

Octo Åeterna is a producer and DJ deeply embedded in the darker edges of electronic music. With roots in South America's underground, he's spent years fine-tuning a sonic identity that draws on mathematical structures, probability, and organic chaos. His work, solo and through his Technologia Organica label, explores textured psychedelia, often grounded in nature's strange logic. Releases on Danza Nativa and his imprint showcase a careful but adventurous mind, balancing abstract sound design with dancefloor weight. Whether curating Noctambula nights or crafting vinyl releases, Octo's aesthetic is precise, immersive, and alive with intent.

His "Delayed with…" mix is a live recording from Berlin's legendary Tresor that happened in June 2023, and it plays like a transmission from a parallel biome. It begins in murky waters, ambient textures that ripple and curl like oil on a dark tide, then gradually locks into a loose-limbed, halftime pulse. Octo leans into polyrhythmic percussion and deep, sticky synths, shifting between grooves with surgical control. As the set evolves, four-to-the-floor rhythms rise like tectonic plates, grinding under a thick atmosphere. By the end, he cracks the structure open with broken beats and UK-leaning breaks, closing on a haunting and strangely euphoric note. It's a mix that mutates without losing shape, like watching an alien ecosystem reorganize in real time.

Delayed with... Octo Åeterna

"An experimental drift through blurred textures and shifting forms, where sound feels less composed than uncovered. At times, a flicker of dub emerges - brief, like a thought half-remembered - before dissolving back into abstraction. The journey unfolds intuitively, resisting structure, favouring sensation. It’s not about where it goes, but what surfaces along the way."

Kizen records (@kizenrecords) founder Romi (@romi808) has been across the techno scene for decades, developing a vision for music that spans genres and moods. Bringing it all together coherently with a focus on deep, hypnotic sounds, he expresses this vision through Kizen's consistently high-quality output.

INSIJAM – meaning harmony in Arabic – places the essence of chance and encounter at its core. Blending Musique Concrète with traditional Arabic sounds, the performance moves fluidly between experimental, avant-garde, and improvised jazz. 

Curated by Rami Abi Rafi (@ramiabirafi), INSIJAM is a monthly show broadcast on Cashmere Radio, based in Wedding, Berlin. For this edition, Rami invites Romi as a guest artist.

INSIJAM reflects my personal vision of the beauty that emerges from the meeting of diverse musical worlds.
