Organized by Melifera since 2016, La Vallée Électrique festival is an event that unites a vibrant community around electrifying music and visual installations. This utopian haven is a creative space based on three concepts: human beings, nature, and technology

_A few memories from ELA about our festival La Vallée Électrique 2023:

"La Vallée Électrique has been one of my most epic days, play there surrounded by beautiful people, in that beautiful paradise full of nature. It was one of the wonders that has happened to me ✨

This festival is totally to regenerate your energies.
I already knew the Vallee, because I was there in 2022 and I had fallen in love with its vibe, the people, the music.
Therefore, what I had prepared was something like music for a party with friends, because that is what this beautiful festival has always generated in me.

The wonderful thing about this location, surrounded by rivers and butterflies, makes you want it to never end. In fact, it went by quickly, and I didn't want to go back to Milan. Waking up to the sound of the river was magical and relaxing.
I think this is a super positive effect.

Thank you LVE for having me, it was an honor ❤️‍🔥"

La Vallée Électrique 2023 • ELA

a morning meeting that had the texture of something very familiar, meant for all and shaped together.

"The joy and thrill of having unrestricted creative space, setting and curating a festival stage, shaping its aesthetic, and amplifying the sound through our handcrafted soundsystem was an experience to cherish.

As we stepped up to play, Alfonso had already set the tone since sunrise, guiding the crowd with deep, dubby, and minimal sounds. By the time he passed us the decks, the audience was fully immersed in this hypnotic, mellow and groove-driven atmosphere, ready to carry on.

Playing on our soundsystem, on a stage we had envisioned and built from the ground up, was a truly special moment, both the fruition of a dream and the start of something more."

Today we are happy to share with you Bas Dobbelaer’s interpretation of Far Blue. The Amsterdam based DJ and producer is known for his distinct style, floating between energies with odd signatures and atmospheric sounds. 

With Echoes, Bas Dobbelaer takes you on an introspective journey where shifting rhythms and immersive atmospheres intertwine, creating a very deep contribution to the series.

“With this mix I tried to find the deeper layer of certain tracks and not limit myself too much with different tempo’s ranges. If it fits the vibe and helping the flow, it’s probably the right spot.

Creating a mix is an interesting creative outlet to discovering new possibilities and refining the art of setting the tone. Balancing on that thin line with endless opportunities, reflects the perfect capture of the feeling and learnings of today.”

A Far Blue concept by Bas Dobbelaer - 'Echoes'

Winter has a way of slowing things down. Certain comforts stand out in the quiet of these colder months—a warm drink in hand, the familiar weight of a well-worn sweater, and a mix that carries the depth and warmth of something tangible, something analog. That very sensation defines the work of our next guest in the “Delayed with…” series: Velvia, a multidisciplinary artist from Paris whose love for analog textures runs through his photography and music. Whether capturing light on film or digging through his ever-expanding collection of records, his approach is driven by a deep appreciation for detail, process, and the imperfections that make things feel alive.

Marking a special milestone, Velvia takes the reins for the 150th edition of the series, guiding us through the submerged world of dubby house and techno, where atmosphere dictates movement and groove follows instinctively. The transitions unfold with an understated elegance, weaving together sounds that resist rigid categorization. Somewhere between structure and spontaneity, this mix lingers in the undefined spaces, embracing the beauty of subtle shifts and evolving textures.

Much like the film stock he takes his name from, Velvia’s work is all about depth, contrast, and a heightened sense of reality. This mix is no different. It doesn’t just fill the room; it sharpens the details, deepens the shadows, and brings the moment into focus.

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."
