For quite some time now, there has been a noticeable revival of trip hop among the media, record labels, DJs, and producers. This genre, which shaped my musical sensibility in the 1990s, is still close to my heart. That is why the growing wave of nostalgia for those times and its revival in a new, contemporary form served as a pretext for me to filter my favorite trip hop productions through a sound close to the outlines label. In this way, the music of legendary trip hop icons such as Nightmares on Wax, Laika, and Silent Poets has been mixed with tracks by DJ Fulltono, Sun People, Janka, and DJ Rashad. The result is a futuristic throwback to the past.

AN ATLAS OF LOSS

Do minerals dream of becoming semiconductors? Do they yearn to carry charges, amplify, switch, and convert energy into emotions comprehensible to humans? And what if, from the darkness of the underground, they had been listening to us sing in caves before the emergence of the first flute? Could they have guided us, through the course of history, to find them, extract them, and create new sounds through sinusoidal waves, to form valves and bend circuits?


If so, minerals would transition from what philosopher Eugene Thacker defines as the ‘planet’—that virginal and unreachable realm for humans that we study through geology, paleontology, and environmental sciences—to the ‘world,’ the space we inhabit, interpret, and synthesise in our daily lives. Sadly, we only remember the world when it erupts violently, through climate catastrophes or when a new virus emerges. Sometimes a tsunami collides with a nuclear plant, or viruses are cultivated as biological weapons in high-security laboratories, provoking a deep biological anxiety, hard to quell, which we all feel beneath our skin.

There exists a third realm, disconnected from both the world and the planet: the ‘earth’, an immense, dense rock floating in space alongside other planets, situated in the cosmological dimension. Relating to the earth is so complex that we only do so through theoretical speculations of a scientific nature or through science fiction, interweaving until one becomes the prophecy of the other, in an infinite, pendular dance. Beyond the darkness of space and Lovecraft’s cosmic horror, the fantasy of human extinction is the most recurrent: to reach a collapse so devastating that we do not survive it, even though the earth does, without us.

In a world where we quantify everything through body sensors, financial algorithms, nanometre-scale robots, and surveillance drones—a world in which everything that can be domesticated and controlled can also be commodified—a superior artificial intelligence would survive the collapse of the species (some speculate it might even cause it) and learn from our mistakes, thanks to our obsessive gathering of data.

Long after our voices fade, minerals will persist in the darkness of screens, in the silicon of chips, and in their pure form, still unexploited underground. Over the millennia, this intelligence might piece together fragments of our reasoning, as if an alien civilization finally connected with one of our spacecrafts loaded with messages cast into the void. It would sort through endless streams of data, unable to grasp the depths of emotion behind what it quantified, recreating simulations of our past, stripped of the nuance that once defined us and conducting experiments in sandboxes.

Some remnants of our existence—faint echoes of forgotten beauty—would be pieced together in an atlas of loss, buried beneath layers of numbers, decayed bots, and corroded hard drives. What will follow? Perhaps bison will once again roam—trotting to the strange pulse of techno, their ancient forms framed by the ruins of our cities. Buildings will crumble, slowly dissolving under the soft touch of ambient music, and a thousand flowers will bloom with that ancient music created through electrical signals and computation.

7 songs for a future both improbable and inevitable—a final message from a world lost to itself, from planet Earth to planet Earth.

Ulla & Perila at UFO II - Dekmantel Festival 2025

We’re beyond excited to share a brand-new 90-minute mix from Narathip, a long-time friend and supporter. From his days working with Dekmantel to building his ever-inspiring Rhythmic Culture platform, Narathip has consistently championed forward-thinking sounds and community-driven projects, something we’ve always connected with. It feels special to host him here with a mix that captures his signature flow: syncopated percussive bass, half-time/double-time momentum, and cutting-edge sound design tied together with groove and finesse. Big love for everything he brings!
