For the next instalment of the Mesh Mix Series, we welcome Berlin-based artist and community leader Llyr to the decks. Known for crafting immersive sonic ecosystems through field recordings, advanced studio techniques, and classic synthesis, he now channels his distinctive sensibility into a mix that reflects the breadth and depth of his sound world.

In Llyr's own words, 'When I was invited to contribute to the Mesh Mix series, I saw it as the perfect canvas for sonic exploration - a chance to traverse different moods, tempos, and energy levels without the constraints of a typical ‘DJ set’. I envisioned something closer to a mixtape crafted for close friends: each track given space to unfold and breathe before colliding into the next, but occasionally veering into club territory.

As I considered what to record for this, I realised I already had something that would fit the bill perfectly: a recording from my series of opening sets for Max Cooper's DE tour earlier this year. Those shows are always a license to go eclectic for an audience eager to hear a wide range of music, and the preparation always involves a deep dive to discover new music and artists that I'm excited to hear on a big sound system.

 The accompanying photograph was taken at the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory on La Palma, home to some of the world's most powerful telescopes perched at the island's highest point. This photo was taken minutes before the Cumbre Vieja volcanic ridge down below erupted for the first time in 50 years. The juxtaposition of the island's geological forces at work beneath this place dedicated to cosmic observation felt profound: contemplating the vast scale of space while witnessing the earth's own transformative power.'
