Mixed and compiled by @seanhorlyck - A shift through different states of haze and fog from warm and cosy downtempo to halftime ambient laced with driving basslines, polyrhythmic swagger and propulsive drum patterns. Think deep, dub-tech, jungle infused IDM that makes you nod that head and wiggle those hips.

VC-118A - Liveset Tresor - 20.01.2024

"In the depths of sound, where rhythm becomes ritual, the pulse of the earth and the cosmos align. Each beat calls forth forgotten whispers, weaving a hypnotic dance between the seen and the unseen, where the soul drifts through the veil and touches the timeless essence of the mystical."

ILAY, an 18-year-old sound artist behind the alias ILAYRUNI (@ilayruni), works at the crossroads of electronic music and percussive instruments. Merging these two worlds, he explores the possibility of rhythm and sound. Growing up in a family that had a strong bond with the electronic music scene, ILAY had access to a wide range of styles and sounds, giving him the chance to wander and discover all types of frequencies and feelings. Traveling through a wide range of styles during his sets and productions, he seeks highly percussive rhythmic patterns that merge with synthesizers and give place to deep soundscapes.

HOCast #208 - ILAYRUNI - LIVE

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 🌲🌌🧚🌙

Some words by Joan about the mix:

"I always like to conceptualize my mixes. It helps me set boundaries and avoid falling into the endless musical rabbit hole - which, frankly, can be overwhelming. This particular mix took me time to find its definitive form. After my latest vinyl purchases over the past few months, as well as an exploration of CDs (a whole fascinating world in itself), I was finally able to define its premise.

The mix unfolds across four movements. Three of them are based on a deconstruction of a long-form minimalist drone composition, layering elements of field recordings, electroacoustics & musique concrète, or additional drones. Each movement explores textures, dialectics, and microtonalism respectively. In between, the remaining movement serves as a purely experimental interlude.

This time, I can’t provide a tracklist - I couldn’t even say exactly what I used or in what proportion. The selection flows together in a way that’s hard to pinpoint, with a mix of works and pieces that come together naturally. That said, I can share that it features a strong presence of musique concrète and electroacoustic works from the '70s and '80s, including artists like Jep Nuix, Olly Wilson, Hans Roosenschon, and Anne Ben Hammou, along with revered names in drone and minimalism like Éliane Radigue, Bernhard Günter, Sarah Davachi, or Toshiya Tsunoda. There are also more recent sonic experiments and compositions – names like Richard Chartier, Steve Roden, Pablo Diserens, Jana Winderen, ENA, or Lotus Eater - some of which we’ll have the chance to experience at Mostra. And of course, there are also tracks from friends - this time, Oisatsana, ABSIS, and Menhir."

Where dawns are born in endless night,
I search for you through stars unknown,
In realms of dream, my heart is sown."

Omoiyari (思いやり) is a Japanese concept that roughly translates to "consideration" or "empathy." It embodies the idea of being aware of others' feelings and needs without them having to express them explicitly. It’s a philosophy of life where one acts with kindness and respect, anticipating what might make others feel comfortable and valued.
