strange one

In anticipation of the 2023 edition of the MOSTRA Festival, with whom we joined forces to present you music from some of the most exciting and talented producers and DJs worldwide, in the next couple of weeks, we'll feature several truly outstanding music tales. 

The first mix in our 'Delayed x Mostra' mix series comes from the incredible French producer and DJ based in Germany, Aa Sudd, who has in this past year released two of the most groundbreaking and avant-garde albums of the moment: one with Konduku as Konsudd and another released just a month or so ago on Midgar. 

Aa Sudd's mix is a true masterpiece exploring the dub's hypnotic and atmospheric realms. With intricate and captivating polyrhythms, this mix takes listeners on a psychedelic journey through sound. The various rhythms blend seamlessly, creating a truly otherworldly experience when you listen to it on your headphones.

Aa Sudd will play on the festival's opening day, Thursday, April 6, from 9-11 pm at the Hangar.


THE THREE AXES OF MOSTRA

Local
The pandemic highlighted the importance of local communities, local institutions and local support for one another. We at Mostra continue the commitment to our Local, not only by programming local artists on the line-up, but also through how we choose our suppliers and other collaborations in the city. And we go further: an exhibitors' Fira for the duration of the festival, generating our own media content during the year through MostRadio, the Mostra’m series of debates, seminars and conferences in parallel with the festival, and our ExtraMostra series of events in venues across Barcelona place Mostra’s roots firmly in their local environment.

Inclusive
Mostra is a festival that reflects on the realities that surround us in electronic music. We are committed to breaking the gender gap in a scene that is traditionally very masculinised. We try to reflect this in our programming, in our team, and in the values we promote: we want a friendly and safe space where there is no room for any kind of violence, and where respect for diversity is fundamental. We have developed our own protocol with a gender perspective, and we seek to raise awareness in a transversal way throughout the project.

Sustainable
Mostra is a festival that seeks to be a social and environmental benchmark through its actions. We follow the most up-to-date sustainable protocols and develop good practice in relation to both city and planet. We have created the role of Sustainability Director who leads and implements an action plan based on sustainable experiences; we limit the programming of artists from overseas to reduce our carbon footprint; and we are committed to contracting and collaborating with social integration and social and solidarity organisations from Barcelona.

ABOUT MOSTRA
We are a group of people with diverse backgrounds, but all closely linked to the electronic music and cultural scene in Barcelona and beyond, with involvement in projects such as Paral-lel Festival, Alpenglühen, Sónar+D, Fab Lab Barcelona, Comissió Nocturna, dublab

Jo Johnson has been releasing music and organising events since the early 90s. She is a regular performer at Freerotation festival in the UK, and organises electronic music events with Bleep43 in London. Her debut solo album, Weaving, was released on Further Records in 2014 and has been described as a modern classic.  Her latest solo release, The Wave Ahead, came out earlier this year on Brooklyn-based label, Mysteries of the Deep. Jo also collaborates with pianist and composer, Hilary Robinson, and they have a live album, Session One, on 9128.live (a sub-label of A Strangely Isolated Place).

“It's been a pleasure to spend time listening to someone else’s music rather than my own! I've been writing and playing out much more this year, which has been amazing, but it's not left as much time for listening, so it's been refreshing and inspiring to delve into some of the great music that's been coming out recently. I've created a Buy Music list – please support the artists and labels included by paying for their work, if you can, and helping them to keep making great music." - Jo

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 🧚🏻‍♂️
