Recording of Estrato Aurora's live at les Chaos Ambiants 2024

As a producer, Jaime Romero aka Estrato Aurora has been in the studio for more than two decades working with analogue machines and all sorts of junk… He is also a member of the Pajaro Dune project together with David Ortolá.

[Les Chaos Ambiants]

The Pauza association presents Les Chaos Ambiants, a festival dedicated to the encounter between electronic music, the visual arts and the rich heritage of Burgundy-Franche-Comté.

This event is designed on a small scale to make it as comfortable as possible to listen, meet and move around, with a single stage to promote emerging and established artists, a natural setting conducive to the discovery of musical works and artistic installations, and an eco-responsible approach to limit its environmental impact.

The project has several objectives : to promote the European and international artistic scene, to stimulate and strengthen the cultural and creative network across the département and the region ; to help promote and showcase the natural and cultural heritage of Burgundy-Franche-Comté ; to support local produce and the local economy.

Estrato Aurora [Live at Les Chaos Ambiants]

You know that feeling when you find a good mix? That little hit of satisfaction, like, yeah, that was time well spent. But then there are the rare ones—the mixes that hit just right, that feel like stumbling upon a new friend you just know you’ll be spending a lot of time with. That’s exactly what happened when we heard the latest Delayed with… mix from Toxido Mask.

Toxido has been on our radar for a while, and for good reason. She’s one of those artists who doesn’t just play music—she builds entire worlds with it. From weightless ambient to brain-twisting halftime to relentless techno, she moves through sounds with the precision of someone who truly gets it. Every mix, every track she touches feels like it was put together with care, with intention. You don’t just listen—you experience it.

And this mix? You’re gonna want to sit with this one. Or better yet, stand up—because the moment you hit play, you won’t be sitting for long. It’s DJing at its finest: sharp, fluid, and impossible to ignore. The flow is effortless, the energy is undeniable. One minute, you’re locked into a hypnotic halftime groove; the next, you’re riding a wave of rolling techno that hits in all the right places. It never loses its grip. You won’t want it to.

It’s no surprise Toxido Mask holds down a residency at Tresor—she plays like she was born for it. But she’s not just shaping dancefloors; she’s shaping the scene itself, overseeing the artistic direction of OMM Transmission, the evolution of the Catharsis series.

Some mixes are good. Some are great. And then there are the ones that stay with you. This is one of those.

Delayed with... Toxido Mask

"Flickers of interference, a signal drifting through the void. Distant hums tremble within the static—a transmission suspended in the vast unknown. Then gravity takes hold, and the path becomes clear: a steady motion, guided by the cold glow of the moon. Shifting shadows, uncertain reflections, a descent into depth without losing direction. Echoes pulse with a deep rhythm, and textures unfold like whispers in the dark. The sound is hypnotic, atmospheric. It leads."

Moon Patrol is the musical project of Irina Kotik (@irina-kotik) and Gilles Wasserman (@gilleswasserman), co-founders of the Brooklyn-based platform Delayed (@itsdelayed). Their work has appeared on labels like Oslated, On Board Music, SoHaSo, Huinali, and others. Moon Patrol drifts between frequencies—half dream, half pulse. Shaped by shifting moods and shared silence, their sound moves from warm electronica and lush ambient to shadowy techno and back again.

Trust is the secret ingredient that makes an event more than just a night out. Whether it’s a party or a festival, knowing that the people behind it are genuine music devotees changes everything. Mostra Festival has built that trust over time, and for a good reason—they’re music nerds through and through. For this week's mix on "Delayed with..." series, one of Mostra’s core members steps up to the decks at Barcelona’s beloved Laut, debuting a new alias: Corsair, the latest incarnation of Josh Hoppen.

This mix is a dispatch from the front lines of ExtraMostra, an international celebration of Mostra’s ethos that recently touched down on home turf in Barcelona featuring Josh Hoppen aka Corsair, Muted, and Memory Palace. Corsair brought the raw energy of UK breaks straight to a dancefloor that knew exactly what it wanted. And it’s clear from the first beat that Corsair knows how to deliver.
The set showcases Hoppen’s encyclopedic music knowledge in a natural and unforced way. It’s all about tension and release, powered by an ever-evolving array of broken grooves. If you’re the type who likes to label things, you’ll catch hints of halftime, jungle, drum and bass, dub, techno and even a touch of trance—genres that weave in and out like old friends at a reunion. But Corsair’s magic lies in how he blends them into a seamless journey, always keeping the dancefloor on its toes.

This mix celebrates bass in all its glorious forms, propelling the crowd into a state of relentless energy. It’s the kind of low-end therapy that shakes you to the core—literally. Sharp percussions slice through the air, riding atop liquid synth lines, while the grooves shift and adapt like a chameleon changing colors under the strobe lights.
No excess, no pretense—just a set that hits hard and stays with you. Moments like this show why Mostra keeps us coming back.
Play it loud. Let Corsair guide you through the heavy basslines and restless rhythms. Well done, Josh. Here’s to whatever comes next. Long live Corsair.

@syberkid creates a journey through the flames, leaving us with the burning embers of an eclectic mix of drone and ambient harmony. This was recorded live at the ‘Burning of The Clavie’ at MKII in London, on January 11th 2025.

This artwork is a collaboration between Sybil, Adam, and Mark, creating cymatics of sonic experimentation, and with each installment of the series, we will explore turning a fraction of sound into light. 🎨

episode IV ~ w/ Sybil

Utrecht's Vand delivers an elegant mix comprised entirely of unreleased work from the artist and ISOTOOP curator (including several yet-unearthed collaborations with close contemporaries & label favorites) alongside selections from his recently released Trialism EP. Vand's mix envelops as it unfolds, an eidetic, dawn-hued journey of carefully kinetic sound, showcasing a true craftsman in top form and offering a captivating glimpse at the future to come. Thanks Viktor!

Avsluta (Lucie Stepankova) moves with quiet precision, tracing the lines between ambient stillness and rhythmic motion. As a London-based sound artist, DJ, live performer, and curator, she explores the spaces where sound lingers and transforms.

Her set at Mostra Festival 2023 left a lasting impression. A seamless journey through moods and tempos, carried with effortless elegance. It felt only right to invite her to Unrush, and now here we are finally.

For this mix, Lucie dives into deeper ambient landscapes, showing the same thoughtful sensitivity that shapes her work. Over the past decade, Lucie has refined her musical voice behind the counter at Phonica Records, guiding London’s ambient and downtempo seekers most Saturdays, building connections, sharing music, and fostering community along the way.

She’s the founder of Introspective Electronics, a platform for radio shows, guest mixes, and listening events. Together with producer and DJ Alicia, she also curates Terra Obscura, an intimate club night series devoted to slower, introspective sounds.

This DJ set holds that same spirit: a quiet invitation to slow down and listen...

It’s a genuine delight to welcome Sarah Wreath to the Unrush mix series. 

Sarah and Mareena first met at SuperBooth in 2018 - a wonderful, annual playground for synth lovers in Berlin. They were both working at the front desk, surrounded by machines, cables, curious conversations, and the kind of people who speak fluent modular. It was one of those encounters that sticks. Since then, their paths kept crossing at different corners of the music world, always briefly, but with a deep mutual respect and warmth.

Sarah’s mix for Unrush feels like slipping into a slow, sonic ritual: deep, patient, and textured with intention. At times, it´s layers reveal a delightful obscurity, inviting you to explore unexpected twists and hidden depths. You can sense her background in sound research and therapeutic practice, as well as her love for psychedelic edges and raw, old-school techno. As a producer, she has released her debut LP on The Bunker New York in 2024 and has recently dropped fresh collaborative tracks with Sandwell District.

Here for Unrush, the mix isn’t just a selection of tracks. It’s a carefully curated journey that moves through space and feeling. Lean back, close your eyes, and enjoy the ride...

Thanks a lot to https://soundcloud.com/sarahwreath
