DJ set at La Nature Festival 2023

The anticipation surrounding the forthcoming Mostra Festival is real, with only a few weeks remaining until music aficionados convene in the enchanting backdrop of Barcelona's Hangar and Castel De Montjuïc. In our ongoing collaboration with Mostra, we are thrilled to present the latest mix from an artist whose name resonates deeply within our community - Forest Drive West.

Recorded live at last year's ExtraMostra event at Lolita, where Forest Drive West shared the stage with Ana Sola & Estrato Aurora (whose set we also had the pleasure of hosting) and Mostra's own Josh Hoppen, this set epitomizes the artist's mastery cultivated over the past decade.

What unfolds in this recording is a pulsating amalgamation of tribal, bass, halftime, and techno, a signature style meticulously crafted by Forest Drive West ever since his debut EP, System in 2016. The auditory journey commences with an immediate liftoff, as infectious grooves propel the listener into an interstellar expedition akin to a spacecraft hurtling towards unexplored realms. Approximately 30 minutes into the set, Forest Drive West adeptly recalibrates the energy, initiating an exploration of novel, uncharted territories with a meticulously woven techno narrative. The seamless transition of grooves adds an element of intrigue, rendering the entire listening experience undeniably interesting.

Forest Drive West is poised to grace the illustrious "Pati" stage of the Castel De Montjuïc on the evening of Friday, March 29th—an occasion sure to be nothing short of magnificent.

Monument Festival 2024 : Marius Bø

Today, we’re excited to open a new chapter for Embodiment with the launch of our redefined podcast series. For the first episode, we welcome back Owl, an incredible artist and one of the kindest souls, whose dreamlike mixing style never ceases to amaze us.

It’s been two years since he last played at one of our intimate gatherings, and our connection has only grown stronger ever since. We’re grateful to have him return to the platform with a beautifully crafted mix that sets the tone for the episodes to come.

Settle in, take a moment, and let the journey begin.

Embodiment 066 - Owl

Liminality

The sun had been gone for 181 days.

That was the nature of the world they had chosen. Gliese-7d, a rogue planet captured in an elliptical orbit around a dying red star, was a place of extremes. Half the year bathed in an anemic, ember-like glow; half the year swallowed by a night so absolute that it numbed the senses. The colonists called it The Verge—the razor-thin band that lay between those two realms, a twilight belt that drifted across the surface with the slow inevitability of a glacier.

The first hints of light were now visible at the horizon, a soft cerulean glow teasing the return of the star. The darkness had its own kind of peace, stretching across the sky like a cathedral vault. In the absence of the sun, the cosmos itself seemed closer, the band of the Milky Way a frozen river of light. There had been something strangely pure about it, as if existence had been reduced to its simplest terms—heat, breath, motion. And now, with the return of the light, that purity would be lost.

There was always a moment—this moment—when the threshold was crossed between the long night and the long day, a sliver of time where the world was neither one thing nor the other. The darkness receded, the light approached. For 181 days, there had been longing for warmth. Now, there was reluctance to surrender the cold.

The vapor of breath drifted into the first true light of the new cycle. Then, the darkness was behind.

"A journey through rhythmic and sonic experimentation - pulsating frequencies, evolving atmospheres, and shifting patterns. An intricate and unconventional exploration, where complexity meets bold innovation. A complex, intriguing, and electrifying experience."

gi (@gistrung) is a musician from Gadi (Sydney). Her sound blurs the outer limits of drone, idm and techno, interested in how generative sound design and asynchronous repetition can coalesce to create emotional music. Following self-released sketches in 2022, and contributions to compilations by Comic Sans Records (FR), Pure Space (AUS), Twin System (UK), Companion (AUS) she released her debut EP on Altered States Tapes in October 2023 and follow-up liveset EP on Beyond the Bridge (Seoul) in March 2024. In 2024 gi presented her debut album on Absorb (AUS) and launched the World of Knots label, while continuing to refine her unique style of warehouse oriented experimentalism, across live and DJ sets.

Mostra (@mostrabcn) is an independent, small-format festival of avant-garde and experimental electronic music which emerged by the end of 2021 as a counterpoint to the macro-festivals and the overcrowded, commercial and impersonal offerings of other large events held in Barcelona. Mostra will be celebrating its fourth edition from 17 to 20 April in 2025.

"An introspective current flows through shifting frequencies and shadowy textures, carefully held in balance. Stillness emerges through the haze — not as escape, but as quiet anchor points in a landscape shaped by tension, release, and the artist’s sublime signature."

SUNA (@sunabass) , Korean artist and resident/cofounder of vurt. (@vurtkr) Seoul club.  SUNA's DJ set expresses a fear of unknown world through musical spatiality. She communicates with the audience conveying various human emotions as desire, anxiety, hope and suchlike. The deep, emotional yet simple sound she has been seeking for, mingles with the hypnotic atmosphere that techno's musical structure and pattern have to offer, leads us to the new dimension expanding the present to infinite universe.
