For Podcast #165, we’re thrilled to bring you the live recording of F-ON’s opening set from this year’s Paral.lel Festival. 

Paral.lel was, for us, the most nourishing of soul food. Set in the spectacular, breath-taking mountains two-hours north of Barcelona, deep green tree-covered mountains enclosed the dancefloor, an endless stretch of sky reached overhead, a beautiful sound system ensured the frequencies permeated, engulfing us in their warm embrace, and a crowd of beautiful, like-minded souls came together, surrendering to the rhythms and grooves gifted to us by an impressive line-up of talent over 2.5 days.

Magic is almost inevitable when people are united by their shared, deep devotion to music. Throw in nature in its rawest, awe-inspiring form, and of course the music itself delivered with such passion and attentiveness, and you have very raw and real energetic alignment which naturally culminates in countless memorable moments. And it was indeed a weekend of magical moments - where the shadows of clouds sweeping across a canvass of trees aligning the slopes were our only reminder that life and time moved on while we lost ourselves in the mountains.

Esteemed DJ, producer and promoter from Madrid, F-ON (aka Alfonso Pomeda) was on the festival’s opening duties on Friday afternoon, ensuring the warmest of welcomes to the Paral.lel community as they arrived on site. And indeed, his set was as warm and inviting as his smile; deep and down-tempo, with sultry grooves and long, steady, alluring mixes; frequencies gently reverberating off the mountains and trees surrounding us, reaching out and inviting us in. What better way to kick-start a very special weekend celebrating the music we love. 

Thank you F-ON for the magical ride, and thank you Paral.lel <3

"I always remember your beautiful flowers
And the beautiful kimono you wore
When you sat on the couch
With that tigerish crouch
And told me you loved me no more."

In anticipation of the 2023 edition of the MOSTRA Festival, with whom we joined forces to present you music from some of the most exciting and talented producers and DJs worldwide, in the next couple of weeks, we'll feature several truly outstanding music tales.

After an incredible mix from Aa Sudd, which we featured last week, the bar stays high with another mind-bending mix from Auxiliary affiliate Michael Watters aka Sciama. For Sciama, music is all about creating a world in which the listener can explore the many facets of human emotion, a journey inward that uncovers both the light and dark within us. 
And this mix is no different. The deep, trippy techno beats create a hypnotic atmosphere that transports the listener to the underground world, so deep that no sunlight ever penetrates. The exceptional programming and seamless transitions between tracks demonstrate Sciama's mastery of DJing. Every element of the mix has been flawlessly executed, making it a true pleasure to listen to. With this mix, Sciama has given us a taste of what's to come at the Mostra Festival, and it's sure to be an unforgettable experience.

Sciama is on opening duties on the closing day of the festival, Sunday, April 9, from 12pm - 2pm 

THE THREE AXES OF MOSTRA

Local
The pandemic highlighted the importance of local communities, local institutions and local support for one another. We at Mostra continue the commitment to our Local, not only by programming local artists on the line-up, but also through how we choose our suppliers and other collaborations in the city. And we go further: an exhibitors' Fira for the duration of the festival, generating our own media content during the year through MostRadio, the Mostra’m series of debates, seminars and conferences in parallel with the festival, and our ExtraMostra series of events in venues across Barcelona place Mostra’s roots firmly in their local environment.

Inclusive
Mostra is a festival that reflects on the realities that surround us in electronic music. We are committed to breaking the gender gap in a scene that is traditionally very masculinised. We try to reflect this in our programming, in our team, and in the values we promote: we want a friendly and safe space where there is no room for any kind of violence, and where respect for diversity is fundamental. We have developed our own protocol with a gender perspective, and we seek to raise awareness in a transversal way throughout the project.

Sustainable
Mostra is a festival that seeks to be a social and environmental benchmark through its actions. We follow the most up-to-date sustainable protocols and develop good practice in relation to both city and planet. We have created the role of Sustainability Director who leads and implements an action plan based on sustainable experiences; we limit the programming of artists from overseas to reduce our carbon footprint; and we are committed to contracting and collaborating with social integration and social and solidarity organisations from Barcelona.

ABOUT MOSTRA
We are a group of people with diverse backgrounds, but all closely linked to the electronic music and cultural scene in Barcelona and beyond, with involvement in projects such as Paral-lel Festival, Alpenglühen, Sónar+D, Fab Lab Barcelona, Comissió Nocturna, dublab

@tomdrew_uk (Berlin, Germany / UK)

“ The mix is a textural journey through winter landscapes and chilling April rains to welcome the violet hour of evening warmth where everything is altogether possible. We move through still meditative states, hazy slow chugs and eventually into a rhythmic dance floor euphoria. The eclectic and natural sounds allow a deep exploration of the inevitability of seasonal change. ”

"To commemorate Inveins’ 100th episode, I wanted to create a journey that honors the story of the series thus far, reflecting on its influence as a long-standing narrative in techno and ambient while staying true to my personal style. To do so I sought out a sense of balance when developing the mix, trying to find a careful harmony between the inspiriting and the meditative, a flow that shifts but never strays, and drawing from producers and labels whose music I consider both contemporary and timeless. 

I hope the recording captures my respect and admiration for the series, bookending one chapter while opening the door to the next."

"This kind of abstract journey: with beats, without beats, different textures that envelop you, and atmospheres filled with colors. An intoxicating context. There's the freedom to break away from a progressive club structure, allowing the creation of a unique narrative that embraces multiple realities and subjective sensations. Welcome to a clear and sublime exemplification of the journeys I alluded to."

Gilles Wasserman (@gilleswasserman), a Brooklyn-based DJ, and producer, boasts over two decades of experience in the electronic music scene. He co-founded the music platform Delayed (@itsdelayed) and the newly minted record label Never Late (@never-late). He's been making music alongside his partner in crime, Irina Kotik, as Moon Patrol. He has released music on labels like On Board Music, Oslated, Huinali, Lost in Translation, A Friend in Need, Lossless, and Accents Records.
