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"

Podcast Series 53 | 'Cosmozoa' by Plantera

This recording is from the first edition of L’Appuntamento, a series of open-air listening sessions initiated by Villa Lontana Records and Donato Dozzy in Rome. Each gathering pairs a vinyl set by Dozzy with a live electroacoustic performance by a new-generation artist.

In this first edition, held in the garden of Villa Lontana, Donato Dozzy opened the evening with a selection of minimal, folkloric, and acoustic-rooted records — setting the tone for Verde Prato’s live performance.

L’Appuntamento is an ongoing invitation to pause, tune in, and share time through listening. 
Next appointment is Thursday 26 June 2025 with Ange Halliwell.

L'Appuntamento with Donato Dozzy + Verde Prato - Listening session at Villa Lontana on 11 May 2024

"The maestro takes his seat, glasses on, guiding the light across the hidden corners of his frequency library. Perfectly woven layers drift and evolve — minimal, restrained, dark in tone, brilliant in execution. In the cabin, every mind floats, someone slips in a field recording, blurring the edges between inside and out. The light gently rises, and as everything fades, the birds come knocking at the door."


Madrid-based DJ and producer Alfonso Pomeda, aka F-on (@f-ondj), is renowned for his experimental sound, blending dub, ambient, and experimental music. Founder of the Alpenglühen project and co-owner of Antimatter, he and his team run the club and festival Espacio Perpendicular, curate Barcelona's Mostra Festival and Les Chaos Ambiants, and perform at top global venues like Paral·lel, Vurt, Laut or Gare. His vinyl DJ sets take listeners on a rhythmic, dreamlike journey.

*  This mix was recorded for Klub collective in Granada, Spain (April 05th, 2025) alongside Sciama, Ilayruni, and Broly. The collective makes a significant contribution to the city by offering an original and unconventional vision.

Influenced by sounds such as bebop or progressive psychedelic rock and focused on experimental and ambient music rather than clubbing in its beginnings, Pharma later delved into deep and immersive sound, creating an amalgam that has been interconnected over time to finally take shape in both listening and clubbing sets with a specific musical discourse in each context, connected to dub, trippy sounds and ambient landscapes, where the density between lights and shadows promotes mental activity that prevails over physical activity.

His debut LP, We Don’t Own, We Create, released on the forward-thinking label @futurepastnosenseoftime , captures his philosophy as both a musician and a creator: resisting rigid definitions in favor of constant evolution and sonic exploration.
Dylan has built a solid presence in the Belgian underground scene, with performances at iconic venues such as @fusebrussels and @c12brussels . Whether through his productions or his DJ sets, he invites listeners into a soundscape that is hypnotic, textured, and always in motion.

E.M.C. atmospheres #113 - Dylan Thomas

Fresh off the release of his outstanding album ‘Berlin’ we welcome Felix K - a true purveyor of sophisticated, deep electronic music. His work explores the fringes of techno, jungle, dub, and ambient, building immersive sound worlds that defy easy categorization. Known for his meticulous approach to production and his ability to weave complex narratives through sound, Felix K has carved out a unique space for himself in the global underground scene.

For this marathon journey, Felix K delivers a masterclass in patience and precision, guiding listeners through a three-hour odyssey that is as introspective as it is rhythmically compelling. The mix is a testament to his expansive musical knowledge and his ability to connect seemingly disparate genres into a cohesive, flowing narrative.

In his own words: "The mix was recorded in my studio in Berlin. Beginning with slower Dub Techno, it slips into the early, minimalist 85/170 Drum-and-Bass era, showcasing plenty of those formative highlights before closing with authentic Amen Breaks combining with a sound design that actually anticipates the vibe of some of today’s darker techno productions."

"I’m truly honored and proud to release this mix on the label run by my longtime friends, leopold and simon. we’ve known each other for years and grew up together through music, so being able to share my very first time mix on their label feels quite special to me.

this ambient, dubby and aquatic mix is an immersion in low frequencies that resonate like the heartbeat of the ocean, inspired by the latter that surrounds and soothes me every day. a tribute to the calm and powerful energy of the waters"

The next Deep Mind Music mix comes from Chicago’s Hi-Vis, who is behind the wonderful deep listening mix series @beyondbelow. I have found a lot of solace in Beyond / Below mixes, each one takes the listener on a carefully crafted journey, filled with poignant emotions and mind-expanding music. 

It was looking to Beyond / Below that in some ways inspired me to expand Deep Mind Music into a mix series. It feels meaningful to create and curate a space for people to put together deeply personal sonic narratives in a deep listening format for them to share with the world.

This mix from Hi-Vis feels like being carried on a soft billowing breeze high above gentle rolling hills. The mix subtly shifts through moods and textures, each song delicately linked to the next. It kind of feels like my brain unwinding and making sense of the tangle of thoughts we end up accumulating through daily life. Gently giving each thought space before setting it down. 

She says about this mix:

“I play sound to heal myself, to learn better how to heal myself, hoping that if I share what I learn, it might heal others too - particularly those who need it most. I want to comfort, but there is always strain and tension that can’t be avoided or ignored. My intention is to summon a psychic space that allows you to drift, to confront discomfort and dissonance openly and without fear, so you can experience even greater relief, or even euphoria. All these songs have had a profound effect on me this way, and I tried to play them similar to how they unfold and resonate in my head. 

Recorded on two turntables, two CDJs and a mixer at my apartment in Chicago. I bought my copy of the last record in the mix, Vainqueur’s Solanus, from my friend Justin Aulis Long. You can hear it’s well worn, but the crackles enhance its aura and I love it all the more.”

I really relate to creating ambient mixes as a space for people to experience emotions in, to observe and then transcend them, and I feel like Hi-Vis has created such a space with this mix for all those who listen to it.
