The light and dark, the fast and slow, the loud and quiet - one cannot exist without the other and opposing qualities, in balance, each bring out the best in life - and often also in music. Berlin-based artist Mareena embodies this interplay perfectly. May it be through her well-built Techno DJ Sets in Clubs all over the world or as Podcast host and Label Owner of the always calming and ever-giving UNRUSH series - Mareena understood the integration of this dualism like few other artists nowadays. A catch-up between Delayed and her was long overdue and our discussion expanded from the 90’ies, over timeless music to the challenges of the life of an artist these days.

This is what Mareena said about the mix:
'I had a lot of ideas for a calm mix. I ended up with a dub techno mix. A genre that is sticking with me since my beginnings. I can't get tired of chords and delays. Since your platform is called “Delayed” it seemed just appropriate ;) The mix is recorded between 115 – 120 BPM. I wanted to create something more chill. A mix you listen to while cooking, having friends over or wandering around the streets. My idea was a deeper psychedelic vibe rather than the usual dance floor music.'

_A few memories from Daniel[i] about our festival La Vallée Électrique 2022:

"In the heart of nature's grand design, The sun's warm rays begin to shine, A gathering of creatures great and small, Come together to enjoy it all.

Expressions of joy can be seen, As the birds take flight and sing with glee, The trees sway in rhythm to the breeze, As the flowers dance with ease.

The music of nature is on display, As each note is played with passion and sway, The melody of life, pure and true, Brings peace to all, old and new."

La Vallée Électrique 2022 • Daniel[i]

dj set recorded live at Concrete in Paris on friday the 27th of february 2015.


Marco Shuttle @ Concrete (Paris) 27.2.2015

There’s something special about clicking with someone musically, aesthetically, and on a human level. That’s exactly how we feel about our collaboration with Mostra Festival, which is entering its third year. We’re thrilled to introduce some of the talent performing at the 2025 edition and to continue this creative exchange with our friends from Spain.

Mostra 2025 happens April 17-20 at two brand-new locations. With two waves of artists already announced, it’s clear that the high bar set by previous editions has once again been met. Expect the finest in ambient, experimental, avant-garde, and techno. The final wave of artists will be revealed tomorrow, February 12—keep an eye on the festival’s socials for the full announcement. More details on the lineup, new venues, and everything Mostra-related will be coming soon to our page.

Today’s guest mix comes from an artist we’ve been following closely: Mariachiara Troianiello, aka Katatonic Silentio. An Italian producer, DJ, and researcher, she moves between electronic music, performing arts, and sound studies, blending abstraction with club energy. Active as a DJ for over 15 years, her sets oscillate between an analog past and a fast-moving future—sometimes dreamy and introspective, other times razor-sharp and unpredictable.
This January, she was part of ExtraMostra event at Berlin’s OHM, where Mostra & Midgar joined forces. Alongside DjSport, Forest Drive West, Keplrr, and Severja, she delivered a mind-bending set in a packed-out club that couldn’t fit everyone who wanted in.

For her guest mix in our series, Katatonic Silentio explores dub techno in her own meticulous way—controlled, intentional, and always with a sense of movement. The first hour plays with restraint, each track given space to breathe, while subtle shifts build an unspoken tension. Just when you think you’ve settled into the groove, she nudges things into unexpected territory—tightening the pulse, throwing in off-kilter patterns, and steering toward a more kinetic, unpredictable second hour. It’s a mix that keeps you on your toes, unfolding with precision rather than force. A refined trip from an artist who never takes the obvious route.
Katatonic Silentio will perform a live set at Mostra 2025.

Ateq: გერმანელი პროდიუსერი და DJ, ვაიმარში დაფუძნებული ბოლო დროის ერთ-ერთი ყველაზე აღსანიშნავი ლეიბლის Giegling წევრი და თანადამაარსებელი.  Ateq-ის დისკოგრაფია 2011 წელს,  Giegling-ზე გამოსული Res EP-ით იწყება. ამ ლეიბლს ეკუთვნის მისი მომდევნო რელიზებიც. Ateq-ის ტრეკები და სეტები პირდაპირ დაკავშირებულია Giegling-ის კოლექტივის გამორჩეული და დასამახსოვრებელი საუნდის ჩამოყალიბებასთან. Ateq-ის ჟღერადობა  მელანქოლიურია და წარმოადგენს დაბის, მინიმალ ტექნოს და ჰაუსის სინთეზს.

Ateq: German Producer and Dj, who is one of the key members of today’s most special and interesting label by many opinions. Ateq’s first release for Giegling came out in 2011, an EP named “Res” and the imprint has been his only platform since then. His productions and sets are directly connected to forming the Giegling crew’s unique and memorable sounds. Minimal and melancholic vibes in Ateq’s music is a synthesis of dub, techno and house.

Atomic moog - Woodfloor, all night long - Concrete Paris - 15.02.2019 PART 2

natural/electronic.system. @ Paral·lel 2020 Online Edition

This mix is radically different from what I usually play, it's an insight to other aspects of my music style. Given the present situation o lockdown, I have decided to record a downtempo, ambient electronic mix. I believe this fits perfectly the current mood. In truth I originally created the mix as a personal journey, something that I don't do very often.
I have now decided to share it with you.
I hope it will keep you entertained at home.
