What in the hell is this set? In the US they’re all seeing UFO’s and drones all over the place, so logically one can assume other stuff is also out-of-this-world. 

Like.
This.

Set.

Who here thinks this is “human made”??!

Saturday at the Mostra Festival will be remembered as a true celebration of techno, from Bas Dobbelaer's opening set at the Foso stage to Sonic Wave Collective's closing set at the Castell. 

That afternoon, the Foso stage hosted three artists: Bas Dobbelaer, Tevor Handa, and Patrick Russell. We were already familiar with Bas and Patrick's exceptional skills behind the decks, but Tevor Handa was an unknown to us. However, we had complete faith in Alfonso's (programming director of Mostra Festival) impeccable taste and programming, and we were excited to hear a DJ who is a local favorite and a discovery for some in the crowd (including us) that day.

Following an outstanding opening set by Bas Dobbelaer, Tevor took over and delivered one of the festival's standout performances. Olmo Rodríguez, aka Tevor Handa, showcased deep techno that perfectly matched the open-air, daytime atmosphere. His mix was groovy, engaging, intricate, and well-balanced. It wasn't just about avoiding fillers or chasing killers; it was a solid track selection, with each track bringing its unique flair. Every track stood out, whether it was an infectious groove, a trippy liquid synth line, or a lush, mellow melody.

That Saturday, Tevor Handa won us over, and we are thrilled to present his mix on our channel.

Delayed with... Tevor Handa [Delayed x Mostra]

The recording of my set from La Nature Festival, recorded 12-3PM on a glorious sunny Sunday on the 23rd of June 2024.

This was one of my favourite sets this summer, I was so honoured to be playing before the legendary DJ Nobu, and spent time preparing for this set gathering bright~dubby~daytime techno with a zippy flair and uplifting energy 🧚

The set features lots of tracks I’ve been enjoying this summer, including music by: Tsott, GiGi FM, Azu Tiwaline, Vladw, Al Wootton, Sindh, Luigi Tozzi, Konduku, Stojche, Ness, Ruman, Rene Wise, Fireground, Forest On Stasys, Kohra & Midnight Traffic +++

The woodland location of this Belgian festival was stunning, and playing on this delicious Lambda Labs sound system was such a treat. Thanks again to Julien @noname_community & Daniel[i] @danieli_whs for the invitation to join this year’s edition 🧡🌲

La Nature 2024

Sybil @ La Nature 2024

In the past few months, we’ve found ourselves returning to a remarkable corner of the Spanish midlands, where music thrives in a unique and unpredictable way. Perpendicular Festival has become the place where artists embrace spontaneity, crafting moments that feel truly alive.

This time, we’re focusing on o.utlier, an Irishman based in London whose debut album Alaya on Appian Sounds left an unforgettable mark last year. A co-founder of Titrate Records and a resident DJ for Astral Industries, o.utlier has mastered the art of balancing a diverse range of sounds, from drone to intricate polyrhythmic techno. If you’re familiar with his work, you already have a sense of the musical journey he can take you on.

It was a bright Saturday afternoon when he took the stage, easing the crowd into the day with laid-back broken beats and serene atmospheres. There was an unspoken magic as the music slowly drew everyone in, almost imperceptibly. Beneath a canopy of shade, the crowd swayed, their movements guided by his subtle changes in tempo and tone. Before long, the energy began to build, smooth, natural, and unforced, until the atmosphere shifted into something more adventurous.
Suddenly, the set took a turn, diving into murkier territory. Darker tones emerged, with dub influences and intricate rhythms that seemed to challenge both body and mind. Over the course of nearly two and a half hours, o.utlier created a magnetic experience that felt both cerebral and visceral—a true journey through the unexpected.

This performance was a special one; it was a shared moment at a gathering of kindred spirits. Do you really need another reason to hit play? We think not.

The recording from one of my favourite sets last year ~ Transcendence Festival in Japan 🌲🇯🇵

I’ve long been drawn to the deep, organic and electrifying techno of Japan–inextricably linked to open-air gatherings deep in the forest–so it was very special to play this set in the mystical woods of Nagano’s mountains.

I played after Japanese wizard OCCA @oooccaaa, from 11.30PM-2AM ~ descending into the night and far beyond ✧.*｡⋆

Deepest thanks to @takumiinamoto1994 and @djmaria-jp for the invitation to join this gathering of likeminded musical souls, I am very grateful to have shared this experience with friends old + new 🫶

Featuring music from Alan Backdrop, Toki Fuko, Jacques Adda, Nao Nhil, Huda, A Strange Wedding, Conceptual, GiGi FM, Kangding Ray, Zemog, Noise From Beyond, Danieli, Vardae +++

Hope you enjoy this psychedelic forest trip to outer space 🌲🌌🧚🌙

Dorisburg & Shoal live set recorded on Saturday, 10th August 2024 at Paral·lel Festival in Port del Comte, Spain.

Dorisburg & Shoal Live @ Paral·lel 2024

Astral Industries has been quietly shaping a corner of music that feels uniquely its own for over ten years. Based in London, the label has become a refuge for sounds that don't play by the rules—drone, ambient, dub, deep techno—all delivered with a sense of purpose and personality that's hard to find elsewhere. At the center of it all is Ario, the visionary behind the label’s distinct identity. To start 2025 in style, we're excited to share his mix as part of our "Delayed with…" series.

Ario's approach to music isn't about the obvious or the easy. His selections often veer into the experimental, finding connections in places others might overlook. Whether it's a drone, techno, or something that sits in the cracks between genres, he has a way of uncovering sounds that feel fresh and unpredictable. That instinct has made him a fixture at festivals like Paral.lel, Mostra, Moment, and La Nature just to name a few, where his sets are as much about exploration as they are about enjoyment.

This mix is a live recording of Ario’s set at La Nature Festival, nestled deep in a Belgian forest. Over two hours in the Hypnose Room, he built something that felt both strange and welcoming—layers of murk and mystery balanced by flashes of warmth and light. Tracks rise and fall like moments in a story, some tense and introspective, others breaking through with fractured grooves or shimmering synths that catch you off guard. What makes this mix so compelling is its sense of space—it feels expansive and intimate at the same time. There's a timeless quality to it as if it could belong as much to the future as the past. But it's never pretentious or overthought. Ario lets the music breathe, letting you take from it what you will.

Whether you're in the thick of the Hypnose Room or just sitting at home with a pair of good headphones, this set has a way of pulling you in if you let it. Hats off to Ario and La Nature Festival for creating something that feels real and alive, a reminder that originality still matters.
